五戦士の準備橋(第三橋)*髪型を除いてほぼ決定稿に近い - 作画・NOrio Shioyama

本番組、"Yoroiden Samurai Troopers"は、小学校低学年が中心夕-ゲットです。

This is early art for Kaosu (8th version) * Pay attention to the fact that, in this draft, he's holding a prayer bead in one hand.
(We don't see that in the anime series.) - Concept art by Norio ShioyamaEach of the five "armors" of the Samurai Troopers are positioned as an "armor" with a special meaning.
(Note from the translator : No, I don't know why the word armor is in quotations unless it's to mean that it's not a 'normal' armor, no super powers, but, instead it's a magical armor, meaning that it's an "armor" and not an armor. Come to your own conclusion, I guess.)
However, the topic of these "armors" was initially shrouded in mystery. The reasons why these five "armors" had such power would've been told over time.
In particular, the two "armors" worn by the main characters have special abilities and combat power that's not found in other "armors". On top of that, they both had 'a mysterious will that governs the truth of this world'.
(...does this mean these two armors had the ability to control people and directly influence people?)
The keyword to call forth and allow Ryou to transform into this armor is "JIN" (benevolence).  Jin is the heart that respects charity. This armor exists to achieve its true meaning.
This armor and its ability is the incarnation of the power that sustains and protects people. This is the kind of power that sustains all life.The Korin armor is worn by Seiji. This armor is a light that pierces through everything and sees through all kinds of darkness and lies. It's a symbol of truth, which always catch people's attention, no matter where the truth is hidden. (Whether it's behind a lie or behind an illusion, like we see Rajura do in season 1.) This armor has the will to distinguish truth from lies, to light the path for people to walk, and to show them the way to go / what would be the best decision to make.The Tenku armor is a  symbol of intelligence that looks down and considers everything.
With it always being able to understand reality, it creates the future.
The keyword to call forth and allow Touma to transform into this armor is "Chi" (knowledge / intellect). Chi is a symbol of human intellect.The Suiko armor is worn by Shin. This armor has the power to manipulate water at will, allowing the person to transform any form of water into ice, water, and steam.
Water is a symbol of cooperation that merges itself into anything, going to show how important it is. At the same time, it's a long-lasting backbone that brings everything into its own flow.
The keyword to call forth this armor and allow Shin to transform into this armor is "Shin" (trust / faith). Shin is a heart that trusts and faithfully obeys its partner.The Characters




He is the protagonist of the story.
He has a strong sense of justice.
When he sees someone in trouble or someone who is weak, he cannot leave them to be alone.
Ryou is a cheerful, vivacious, and strong boy who doesn't let small things (stressful thoughts, anxious feelings, etc.) ruin his happy feelings.
He grew up in a small village in the mountains.
He is also full of vitality. However, he does not have a very urban sense (a sense for travelling around in a city? I guess?).
When it comes to his own personal gain, he is often blind to what is going on around him.
Everyone trusts him because of his enthusiasm and passion for leading others.
He has a great athletic boy who loves sports and he can do anything related to playing sports.
Especially in soccer, he is second to none.
The special move of his armor is the "Sou En Zan / Twin Flame Cut".

Ryou's animal companion is "Byakuen", a white tiger that he, sometimes, uses as a form of transportation.
Byakuen was revived from the fire of Aso in response to Rekka's armor.
(Aso is a city in Kumamoto Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan. South of the city is Mount Aso, whose 5 central peaks include the active Mount Nakadake Volcano.
As to why the original text says that he was 'revived' I have no idea and it doesn't give any explaination.)
He is a rugged tiger that is made stronger in the face of fire. He can run through any mountain or desert terrain and never become exhausted.
Byakuen is very strong and has self-heating fangs and claws. This is the same ability that the Rekka swords have, to create and emit heat.
With or without the extra boost from the heat, his fangs and
