BAKUAGE COLLABORATION | RINKITORI X CHRISTIAN ANTWAN | 2025

Back in September of 2024, Christian reached out to me about an idea for a collab. The idea was the word “BAKUAGE” in Kanji with an explosion behind it, inspired by a recent meme he himself had in one of his videos. The original plan was to create a single design that chromatically changes across all six members and then release it by within the next month *amid the airing of the series. As I started working on this project, more and more I noticed the different characteristics among each unique member of the team and how those differences, when combined, create the perfect team that is Super Sentai.

With Boonboomger being the first Sentai series I've ever designed, I realized that creating one creation for the whole team wouldn’t be enough and absolutely couldn't do Super Sentai justice. A week-long task ended up extending into a four-month project.

MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO SUPER SENTAI

Up until now, I've created mostly designs based of off Kamen Rider series. I've therefore always wanted to create something for Sentai fans. However, I've only watched a few Sentai like Gaoranger, Hurricanger, and half of Gokaiger, so creating something that I'm not fully immersed in is quite a challenge for me. I tried picking Sentai up again back in Kyuranger, then again during Zenkaiger, but nothing really stuck. Surprisingly, Boonboomger outlasted the test, and that was around the time that this collab took place.

Having watched both Sentai and Rider, the one thing that I feel is most iconic about Super Sentai is the team role call, where each member of the squadron gets their own highlight. The second symbol of Sentai to me is their gattai, individualized machines that combine into a gigantic robot. With these themes in mind, I combined the dotted art style inspired from BoonBoomger 2nd Lap Poster, the iconic spirit of role call, and the appearance of gattai components into this collection.

BIG BANG GRAND PRIX PIT CREW SERIES

Originated from the Bakuage design, the BBGP Pit Crew Series offers a unique appearance for each memerb of the BoonBoomger. Each design is modeled after the character's role call scene, as well as the iconic symbols and Mecha vehicle associated with them.

SHOUT-OUT TO CHRISTIAN ANTWAN FOR THIS AMAZING COLLAB 2025

Christian was actually the first Toku Youtuber I talked to. It first started out as a collab request back when I first opened my store, and having watched him and his content for a while when that happened, I was super flattered and excited when he reached out. Flash forward to two years later, we finally got to meet at PowerMorphinCon 2024. Christian actually gave me an idea for another collection before he reached out later that year about BoonBoomger. It's an absolute honor and pleasure to work together and make this collection comes true.
