Shinkenger and Maskman Nostalgia

Shinkenger had Maskman nostalgia like:

The whole show was laced with various martial arts although not as intense as Gekiranger. They were using bodily energies like the Maskmen were.

The thing is Takeru/Shinken Red reminded me of Red Mask, seeing both red rangers are named Takeru and almost have the same personalities. Mako/Shinken Pink reminded me of Momoko/Shinken Pink with their like for children. Mako had a little bit of Haruka/Yellow Mask but she's still more feminine and defensive like Momoko.

Doukoku like Emperor Zeba had a mean personality and a very short temper. Both villains planned to invade the surface world and turn it into a dark place. Both also knew of their fates- Zeba was destined to fall when the twin sisters reunited, Doukoku was destined to fall when the true head of the Shiba returned and these women however didn't finish them off but became the key to their downfalls.

Shitari was like Anagbas in Maskman, being the genius strategist and adviser. However we don't see Shitari die at the hands of the Shinkengers. He was supposedly killed when the boat drowned.

Juzo was somewhat like Kiros- a wandering warrior who had no real allegiance. He was a great threat to the Shinkengers.
