Hey there. I have a question. In your opinion, what are the King-Ohgers ages? So basically , what are the ages for Gira, Yanma, Hymeno, Rita, Kaguragi, Jeramie, and Rcules?
Rita is the only one with a canonical age of 25/27 so using them as a benchmark.
OK Jeramie has a canonical age of "about 2000 years old" too
I think they cast actors close to the character's age so not to far from there
Himeno: Himeno is supposingly the same age as Rita so they can feel more like counterparts. I'd say they could be born in the same year, but I can't quite decide who I want to be a few months older. Probaly 3 - 5 moths between them for a seasonal contrast.
Gira: Taisei is baby face so when the show started, I thought Gira could pass as low as 18-19. He's definitely the youngest of the bunch. I think there should be 7-8 years between him and Racules so not setting it too low either. He needs to be an adult so I'd say he's 21/23.
Yanma: I remeber I wrote a lot about Wings age difference but I can't find it now. I want to put Yanma 2 years older than Rita but that'd make him 27/29. So he's 24/26 in relation to Gira, same as Aoto.
Kagu: Kaku-san said way early on that he was playing Kaguragi a bit older then himself at 35. Suzume looks 14-15 during the uprising with the junior high uniform so she's 29-30 at show start. Kagu in the flashback feels 19 to me so he'd be 34 at show start. But the gap between him and racu suzu can be closer. Turn that down by a year you'd get him the same age as Kaku-san.
Racules: I like that Racules is 30 at show start to for a round number to fit with the prophecy.

Imagine Racules actually heard Gira called him "oniichan" and later asks his little brother to call him that again
Would he? (ﾉ﹁∀﹁*) That tsundere?
Seriously though I think Racles doesn't believe he deserves love. He acknowledges the people he manipulated for the cause and he doesn't expect even forgiveness.
Gira… it's interesting he only says "Onii-chan" after Racles fainted. His last sentence was still "Racules". Maybe it hasn't sink in for him too, maybe he doesn't know if Racules would like it either. But yeah, Gira's "Onii-chan" ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
They are children on the playground and arguing is proof of their "friendship"!!
Headcanons
Rita being the secret supplier to Yanma's antique collection (think government auction, double as one Gokkan's source of income)
Yanma Gast 100% knew about Moffun.
Yanma the hashtag angry mark vs Rita the pool of yarn mark (ahhh I want to doodle)
THEM WITH KIDS: Rita scaring a little girl in N’kosopa vs. the flower twirl with Ishabana boy + Yanma is a good teacher
when did they first hear the king-ohger legend
"You don't even know that?" -> Yanma: yelling at auroras to "turn off your damn speakers!!!" // Rita: can't tell a lightning cable from a type c
I don't think Rita is bad in tech in terms of lacking a sense in it but they just never had the need to study it
Rita will never say the full technical name for Yanma's inventions though (Does he even know his lie detector is called the Thundercarcker behind his back?)
(bringing the actors into this) Rita serectly adding another grudge on their list because Yanma's Moffun voice is actually really good
per manga ch13, the grudge list grew again because the Jealous Judge's retainer has a heart uchiwa for the yankii king
Yanma is smart enough to motivate the judge with words into helping him if necessary but it'll take a minute hour for Rita to begin wonder if it was because they agreed with his reasoning or his choice of words
Yanma is 2 years older but by kingship he is 6 years Rita's junior. Their first meeting happened at 21/19. The number fluctuates because I also really want to see their first meeting at 19/15.
similarity and differences:
teased by Himeno, Yanma turns red and Rita turns white
they are too gay to sit properly
parallel play (they could sit in a coffee shop for hours and people would think they are angry with each other because they're not talking but it's actually the most comfortable way for them to stay together in the same room)
unconsciously hum while working long hours
“what is sleep”/caffeine addicts
you KNOW they both have a tendency to fall asleep in their office
Both have a sweet tooth but Yanma in drinks and Rita in hard candy. Rita more so than Yanma because butterfly.
don’t really look at what he’s eating vs. has a gokkan-native comfort food
Yanma doesn't mind trying foods with dry/weird textures Rita is not exactly a picky eater (because gokkan food shortage/low variety of homegrown food) but typical “I need that texture once in a while or I start malfunctioning”
(Gokkan has all sort of weird pickles and dried meats, typical winter country)
Like any northerner Rita has a high alcohol tolerance though without a preference (okay Gokkan harvest(?) festival and the one day the prison complex is allowed fruit punch) and you'll find me beat up before I say Yanma Gast can take more than a beer.
Yanma Gast has a HUGE ego but I think it’s only gotten worse by having an eternal hyper in Shiokara. Does Rita has an ego? long story short, yeah.
Instances:
first meeting
development of king's hotline/ohger calibur/king's weapon
the moffun scalper
development of the lie detector
yanma's arrest and trial
when yanma and rita were castle-mates (?) before himeno and kagu got themselves in jail
jail time
the body swap phone call!!
body swap resolution (admit it canon is not giving it to us)
the voyage back home
maintenance spa day of the shugods
first meeting: I think one reason Rita doesn't like N'kosopa much (and an underlying cause to them randomly arresting everyone in 28 besides stress), is organized crime plagued N'kosopa in the aftermath of Wrath of Gods.
Post-Wrath, the blue king ran away, so N'kosopa is either an anarchy or at warring states where crime bosses and militarists took hold. "Police" exist but took bribes per Shiokara. At that time, Rita just became king themself and has enough on their plate. So even though it's technically a domestic affair, it's a growing potential threat to Chikyuu's order but it's too systemic for a 10-year-old foreigner to take on alone.
I also think Rita would be required to witness the day Yanma officially becomes King. He has the popular vote, but to keep things simple, the monarchy is kept instead of transitioning into procedural democracy. So the yakuza lawyer, Usba maybe, say they have to get the Chief Justice here, to everyone turning blue and silent for a moment from the excited discussion of a big ceremony hearing their name.
but! my initial fic idea in may/june was very simple because I only wanted to put them in a bike + sidecar and sunglasses and comedic road trip. They chase down a McGuffin to help a kid. Their budapest. Where Yanma making "Absolute Neutrality" Rita's name comes from something they said. Maybe that's why the couldn't end the incident in a less legal but more effective way.
another first meeting idea allows them to meet younger as late teens is maintenance day for the shugods. A very random event is if the Yanma needs the Ohger Calibur to stay over temporarily, how is Rita gonna continue with the trials? Did he buy them a substitute pon pon Moffun hammer at the tuck shop??
Developing the henshin system: See I think Yanma is not going to bother putting in a function that he personally can’t use but knowing it’s a team’s weapon, as a good designer, he at least has to ask the other kings what they want as an auxillary. What is his reaction hearing Rita says bow? (i talk as if anything other than HA? is an option) What if Rita didn’t suggest bow, but Yanma just assigned them that because it fits that stick-in-the-mud?
Body swap resolution: Yanma wants to train his body but doesn't know where to start. I mean, he can't ask Rita of course. But if anyone can keep a secret, it's them. Oh of course he doesn't have to go that far and outright get humiliated again, so he has to phrase it like picking a fight. Rita is down anytime to "convince" Yanma Gast so they didn't really register it as a one either. (re: Erica saying arguing is the proof that this two are "friends")
Yanma's arrest:
Yanma's hair got fried blond because of his ultracomputer
N'kosopa mass protest + boast rally that conversely proved Yanma is the culprit
nobody remembers to hire Yanma a lawyer
a particular loud shriek when Gokkan's power black out (lucky for yanma it's summer i.e. long day)
Morfonia and her unsaved files
Yanma's sentence include improving Gokkan TV/Internet reception as community service
Jeramie using the "boys will be boys"/"he's just a kid" defence as Yanma's Grand-Master to mask he secretly contributed here and there
+ power blackout doesn't really affect the bugnarok because they're underground and only beginning to build a power system with Gira and Shugoddom's help
Shugoddom's historic gas lamps!
Himeno breaking down Yanma's door because "if not for my hospitals all equipped with the best backup power!" (solar/wind energy), and that she can't curl her hair that morning.
Kaguragi turned it into a campfire story night/community event somehow
Yanma's trial day is the day Gokkan's immigration and tourism board has to overwork for the first time.
Shiokara and hacker gang arguing for visitation rights. homemade bento
does yanma sentence last for more than two years if he says prison break is an additional charge?
Gira tried negotiations but he knew he isn't being fair and backed down quickly with a Rita stare
Yanma got dragged away with Papi-chan helicopter style, he's yelling at Tonbo to put in a good word for for his buddy and Papi-chan ignore him lol
CHARACTER ANALYSIS
They have two key words: past/present and secrets.
the thing with wings is, they somehow sparked in each other another side. (i.e. they drive each other crazy, and they are the only ones that can do that to the other) But then they spring back like nothing next day like children on the playground.
On a level, these two are actually very similar in terms of being analytical and practical. Yet their conflict comes from attacking problems from opposite angles. Rita represents the past and Yanma the future. Rita will collect evidence and review history while Yanma focuses on what's already in hand and invents something new. I said that right, but in a way Rita is forward-facing when they never let any childhood trauma stay a trauma or haunt them; Yanma is nostalgic based on his antique/physical media collection.
You may say it's partly recognition of the self. That's why they are only antagonistic 80% of the time.
(hc territory) They ended up doing the same thing/making the same choice ouf of completely different reasons. They are more similar than they think they are but no one can name what/why (not even me).
Yanma Gast 100% knew about Moffun but he kept his mouth shut in ep11. He (should) never told anyone about what Rita did in the underworld. I'm lying to myself he trusted the judge won't do something they didn't deem necessary so he turned away in 38.
Rita holds grudges. Yanma Gast is the source of their headache since he stole Gira and kick-started the story. Sometimes they don't get how such an obnoxious person is so popular. But Rita guesses, he's dependable when it's important. Not a very skilled fighter but he's not dumb. At least they can count on him not to intervene if they make it clear they are making a move.
the movie scene: No spoilers, but, I just think that’s a really nice scene to that established how different Yanma and Rita are while providing a base for reconciliation following their argument in 19. Neither of them are acting like their usual self. I don’t mean they are ooc, but you see them perform different than everyday under an unknown situation.
Considering Yanma and Jeramie truly became friends after pranking Racules, is it possible that Yanma "forgives" Racules by pranking the galactinsects together? I just want to see Racules' happy laugh after 17 years of suffering
I think it could work. This group sure bond over pranks, huh? Would need a big big prank though for Yanma to forgive him for invading his country, even with Gira's puppy pleading eyea considered. And a long grudging rivalry after.
Shiokara may appreciate another serious man to the group but Racles is here to point out the flaws in Yanma's plan only to suggest a even more daring idea.

Greetings to you. My question for you is what's your favorite moments in King-Ohger? Also, if they decide to do a sequel like say in a case of a manga like how Fuuto PI did, would you like to see it happen or no?
Greetings to you too! I have so many favourite kingoh moments so maybe I'll just limit myself to 10:
Rita's speech ep5
Roll call ep10
Roll call ep27
Ritamoru hug ep10
Gira's tyrant king act ep1
movie wings advice scene
Yanma's defeat ep17
Yano's smile ep42
Jeramie's sacrifice + beating up Hilbil ep29
Honourable mentions: movie ritamoru rescue scene, 五王国異様事案対策用戦略救命部隊 + himerita vs. kamejim fight ep19, roll call ep25, Jeramie's persuasion and Gira's apology ep26, himerita's promise ep30
What I picked scenes that surprised me, the 120+, while all King-Ohger has been serving 100 the whole time.
And a manga/anime sequel? Absolutely Yes!! JP fans have been drawing #animeohger since sunmer. It'd really fit the theatricality of Kingoh. I think they are willing to explore the possibility if Rita manga does well enough. In an ideal world, by the time it catches up to the TV finale in a few years, we get an anime adaptation/sequel (●´ϖ`●)
I think they are going to solve the first human-bugnarok war in TV but I wouldn't mind a spin-off of past or even future generations of kings either.
Buff up the worldbuilding there! I wounldn't mind if Takano takes a backseat from writing every episode to just key dialogues and a master plan if the anime takes time to give us fillers. It's kind of hard to one-up the galactic king… Peace time after the war please! (Then crank up the plot in S2 hehe)
If kingoh does become an anime franchise, I hope it runs for at least 5 seasons and 10 years lol. And it'll be event of the century when the cast got big but came back for the anniversary *single tear*
Say, speaking of which. Remember, when i asked about would you like for King-Ohger as an anime/manga sequel? Well , my next one is who do you think the voice actors will be? Mostly the Japanese voice cast and the English voice cast?
...I don't know anything about VAs 😭
Opening this to the floor!
Which VAs do you think suits King-Ohger in animation?
I think Gira can cook if given enough time for preparations, looking by the scene with Vedalia and the orphanage kids in the movie. So... what would Gira's speciality probably be?
"Rainbow Jururira" of course! Well, what he can recreate to his best abilities with the limited resources from the orphanage garden.
It looks like a dessert and Kaku-san said the crew made it from tea jelly, but Sentai Restaurant has a savoury version?
I'd say Gira's specialty is a borscht that the kids just beg him to keep on the menu even though it's another failed experiment. Something filling and warm like Gira himself.
