Because he's the hero Zawame deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So, we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Kamen Knight.

I love the reference to the ending of The Dark Knight you did there, you won the internet from me. Very Happy

Not sure if you've seen Gaim (more specifically, the ending), but that's actually pretty accurate.


Also, not sure which episode(s) that map was in, but I'm pretty sure the map that was in later episodes was the second one. So it was changed during the course of the series.

I suspect it was a set designer's laziness. You see this a lot in anime which has pages of English text that are just copy-pasted English Wikipedia entries which have nothing to do with what is being talked about. Most native viewers won't notice it, so they can get away with it.

In one of the later eps of Kamen Rider W, one of the characters is supposed to be reading a book specifically about spoiler[his own mysterious past] but I noticed the text shown is apparently an encyclopedia entry on Syria (like they just grabbed the "S" volume off the shelf). Laughing

In the first opening for Go-Busters, the text overlay on parts of the opening was actually the source code for the English Wikipedia page on the Super Sentai franchise. It can be seen here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Ironically... the page was edited right after this aired, so the source code didn't match anymore.
