So now that the other side of Jirou has appeared some interesting tidbits that tie into him being based on Sun Wukong. So you know how Jirou's two forms are based on a dragon and a tiger? Well it's first and foremost a reference to the first two sixth rangers (Dragonranger and Kibaranger) but it's also an interesting coincidence as the main two outfits that Sun Wukong wore were a tiger skinned one and a dragon scale armor. Adding onto that it's interesting to me that the two Jirou's are such polar opposites because the dragon and the tiger represent the east and the west respectively but it could more directly be a reference to yin and yang where the tiger represent yin and the dragon yang. Also Torabolt is a portmanteau of Tora (tiger) and thunderbolt.
thanks again for the lore / facts >:]
The two 6th ranger references was particularly tasteful LOL!!! Tiger and thunderbolt,,,, 👁️
Sometimes coincidences really do work out like 🤝🤝. I bet the writer's room went stupid / crazy when they connected those dots
