Looks pretty good? I miss the The First design though

I did not expect to see Minami Hamabe in tokusatsu, but here she is. I guess it's a pleasant surprise...?

Also, what's the guy's name? Sousuke something?

[takenoko]

Ikematsu Sousuke. I hadn't heard of either of them before

She's the girl from Kakegurui, and she's good in that, so she should be good in this. It'd be hilarious if she disappears early on in the movie like she does in the show.

That opening recreation is really cool. Honestly, I think this could be WAY better than The First. It certainly couldn't be much worse.

Also I find it hilarious that even though it's a pretty faithful recreation of Ichigou's OG suit, it still looks way better than in 1971 because they actually have money now.

But I love the First and Next lol

Himitsu Sentai posted an up close to their blog. I'm not loving how plastic looking the chest plate looks

[HowlingSnail]

Well, you can't have the suit look TOO good. Has to really feel like the shoddy suit from 1971.

I mean it's already a bit updated. Nothing wrong with a modernized design:

I don’t see how they could top “The First”. It was too good. I absolutely adored Snake and Cobra.

Practice rider kicking so hard that you put your leg in a cast

[HowlingSnail]

Honestly, that's dedication to the role. Injuring his legs just like Fujioka did. For true authenticity they should have Ruriko leave 13 minutes into the movie and never be mentioned again.
