Hello guys. I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to discuss something what I've noticed in the recent episode of Kamen Rider Fourze. In a scene of the episode, where Kengo meets his father's partner/friend, Mr. Emoto, the both of them talks about the comic energy in the universe and on earth (I know I maybe wrong on one part).
In this image, I've noticed that Mr. Emoto briefly discussed the four mythical gods of the chinese astrology, Genbu(Top), Byakko(Left), Seiryu(Right), and Suzaku(Bottom). The name also represent the directions and the seasons of the year:
- (Seiryu) Azure Dragon of the East: Spring
- (Suzaku) Vermilion Bird of the South: Summer
- (Byakko) White Tiger of the West: Autumn
- (Genbu) Black Tortoise of the North: Winter
Now these name sounded very familiar when I first heard them and noticed that these names and images reminded me of The Four Saint Beast from the anime, Yu Yu Hakusho. In the anime the four heroes have to fight off the four beast to save Earth.
The first beast they fought was Genbu: The Stone Beast,who had the body of a tortise,
the second was Byakko: The White Tiger,
the third was Seiryu: The Blue Dragon,
and the last was the leader which was Suzaku (which represented the Phoenix as you can see here).
This is very interesting to know that their opponents has some similarities to themselves. According to the source: "Kurama being wise and intelligent like the turtle, Kuwabara being Brave and determined like the tiger, Hiei Calm but deadly like the Dragon and Yusuke being passionate and having a habit of coming back stronger every time he dies like the Phoenix. Even more interesting is that Yusukes energy took the form of a Phoenix and Hiei's best attack being in the shape of a dragon." That is really interesting. Now the question is, will we see some of these elements form in Kamen Rider Fourze? I would love to see something like this to happen in the series.
