Garren? Blade? Chalice? Leangle? - What's the Theme?

[Shougo B'Stard]

Agito has three meanings -- one the Alpha/Omega ("first and last, beginning and end"). Another is that it's Greek for "awaken," which is Agito's main theme (the powers awakening in the people the Man of Light showered his powers upon). TV Asahi also likes to point out that it's Latin for "jaw," whatever the hell that means.

Kuuga is a pun on kuwagata, the beetle Kuuga's based on. The show also uses the kanji "Kuuga," which means something like "empty sky," which has some sort of zen meaning, from what I'm told -- Godai has no worries, he's a blank slate, an empty sky -- which is why he's just so damned good.

Hibiki is combo word -- Echo Demon. While there is the word "hibiki" that just means echo, they put the kanji for demon, "ki," in there as a pun. Ibuki means something like "Mighty Breath Demon," which just sounds like he eats garlic and blows it in makamous' faces.

****, Why didn't I realise Kuuga was Kuwaga. Makes sense since he was the first beetle Rider.

Actually, the first beetle Rider was Stronger.

My bad. I ain't too informed with classic Rider unless it's V3, Black, and RX.

I read somewhere that a "leangle" is a club-like weapon. Actually here

You might have also seen me mention that earlier in this very thread!

Just a theory, but...if you look at the Unknowns, they *mostly* seem to have a similar jawbone, which I always thought Another Agito's jaw kind of resembled. What the connection is with Agito's name, who knows...

How many people remember the "other" Agito in Kamen Rider J though?

Yeah, I missed your post about Leangle.

I remember Agito. Freakish thing he was. It made me cringe when J burst his eye. And I don't care what people say, I like J.

The Agito from the Kamen Rider J movie was a mutant alligator looking-thing or something.
