Skull Kaizer

Bakura is a double whammy of Asian mythical beasts being named after the yo-kai Baku which is a Tapir the eats dreams and nightmares while being designed after the Siisha or Komainu which are the guardian lion/dragon/dog statues you usually see either of the roof or on either side of a gate onto property of Chinese people. Do take note of how Kyo knew the swordswoman's name. Also the masks showcase a lot of Go Nagai characters as I could make out Baron Ashura all the way on the right side blocked a little by Saotome's head. To correct some thinks Himika and her generals are the Great Jama Kingdom or just Jamatai using how they say it in the show, Haniwa are clay statues that used to be buried with great leaders like the Terracotta soldiers in China. Balba is called the Demon-Beast God not God Balba the Demon-Beast like you think. Makara is in reference to Daiko who is one of the seven gods of fortune in Japan which like they tried to explain to Kenji is the Hindi god Makahala who is Shiva's wrath made into a god. When Zen Buddhism came to Japan Makahala was confused for and as such combined with the Japanese god of Nation-building, medicine and Business and is the son of Susano-o the Storm God. Also just like in Getter Armageddon now that we are done with the first half things are going to really pick up especially as the last 2 or three episodes are one massive fight.
