Which would mean 2 keys.<br /><br />As for gender changing the Extra Heroes, I figure that most of them are simply "them." Otome Shinken Red, yes, was specifically a female version of Shinken Red. So yes, a guy using the key would give us male Shinken Red. But outfits that don't have differing gender suits (like Sun Vulcan, in addition to your example), the suit stays the same, regardless of gender. So for the Extra Heroes, it's less "character is male" or "character is female", and more "this is how they are, there isn't an alternate." I doubt we'll see any of the guys using the "female" keys (or Ahim using one of the "male" ones, for that matter). Heck, we've probably only got 10 or so episodes left, I'm not sure we'll see them used more than once or twice more.<br /><br />Semi-related, the female Shinkenger outfits irrationally bother me, now that I realize what the "triangles" under the belt on the guys' outfit are supposed to represent. I wouldn't mind not seeing Otome Shinken Red too often so that I don't have to see it.Dessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932919669944211888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618280469320488161.post-36792808197202382922011-11-27T01:17:46.917-05:002011-11-27T01:17:46.917-05:00well Zuuban did come from a skirt season but oh we...well Zuuban did come from a skirt season but oh well.<br />it would be very funny if the guys ever do the female key by mistake and to hear Marv or Joe's voice coming out of Mele or Magimother.Nerdy Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026919291426674263noreply@blogger.com
