Sentai Similarities: The Way Changeman's Ahames And Kiramager's Yodonna Get Introduced
No matter how old an idea - somehow some of them tend to find their way into the modern age, right? It's just like no matter what age - innovation should always carry the 4Ds which are definition, discovery, development, and delivery. That is, innovation always has one thing in mind - it's not just a new idea but also making sure that the new ideas work and deliver good results. While watching Kiramager - I noticed that one old idea was suddenly fished way back 35 years ago namely Ahames from Changeman. Suddenly, the idea was somewhat modernized (though probably won't be as intense due to current censorship laws) with Yodonna in Changeman. Both of them are played by an attractive actress (though I wonder who Fukomi Kuroda is married to) and wear white wigs. Both of them carry a baton that can also double as a whip. Just because Hirohisa Soda hasn't been involved in Super Sentai that his ideas are gone. They have just been improvised over the years by writers such as Junki Takegami, Naruhisa Arakawa, and Yasuko Kobayashi.
You can see how both of them appear as sweet, innocent girls. They also get the attention of one of the rangers. Changeman's 17th episode has Ahames appear as a sweet, innocent girl and gets the interest of Hayate. In Yodonna's introductory arc- her appearance as a sweet, innocent girl gets Tametomo infatuated with her. Then we figure out that both sweet, innocet girls aren't really as innocent as they are. They arrive later in the series in trying to shake the game when the villain faction is losing against the rangers. Ahames arrives when Giluke's failures pile up. In the case of Yodonna, it's probable that Emperor Yodon has sent her because of the continuing failures of Garza and Carantula.
Both Ahames and Yodonna show that they're willing to dispose of their subordinates to achieve their goals. Both villains appear as pretty terrifying bitches that you'd want to think twice before you get into a fight with. I just wonder how Yodonna will turn out as a villain. Granted, actress Nashiko Momotsuki was Shuka in Garo Versus Road so I hope she will be incredibly terrifying.
