Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is a direct sequel to 1993's Denkou Choujin Gridman, but knowledge isn't required—it's a standalone that rewards both newcomers and tokusatsu veterans equally.
The 'Rikka's thighs' phenomenon became so massive that Studio Trigger acknowledged it, but the show deliberately uses her character to subvert the 'mysterious waifu' archetype entirely.
