After the initial release of the โSamurai Predatorโ figure, I was excited to be invited back to revisit this project. For this second version, Iโve introduced new elements to the helmet and drew inspiration from the โAkazonae(่ตคๅใ),โ a unique military unit in Japan, which influenced the crimson red color scheme. ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ โ๐๐ค๐๐ณ๐จ๐ง๐๐(่ตคๅใ)โ ? โAkazonae(่ตคๅใ)โ refers to a style of attire characterized by being covered entirely in crimson. It was commonly used by brave warriors and elite troops during the Sengoku period(ๆฆๅฝๆไปฃ) and the Edo period(ๆฑๆธๆไปฃ). ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ฉ๐ญ ๐จ๐ "๐๐ค๐๐ณ๐จ๐ง๐๐(่ตคๅใ)" ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ . ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ข๐ง๐๐จ๐ซ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ง? Iโve imagined a scenario where a Predator landed in Japan during the Sengoku period and fought against an alien army controlled by the Oda Nobunaga(็น็ฐไฟก้ท) clan, with human allies crafted a crimson red-armored samurai suit for him. ๐๐ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ๐ข๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ๐โ๐ฌ ๐ ๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ข ๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฆ๐๐ญ. ๐๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ซ ๐ฆ๐๐๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ซ ๐ซ๐๐๐ฌ๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ก๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ง ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐? The Japanese character on the samurai helmet crest is Doku (้ซ), which means โskullโ. The crest is a decorative fitting mounted on the front of a samurai helmet, and it could represent a specific family or clan, unit, rank, personality trait or mythical symbols to invoke divine power, bravery, cunning, and more. Similarly, the Predator is known for collecting the skulls of their most worthy opponents as trophies, making the use of a skull crest particularly fitting as it symbolizes both honor in battle and the recognition of formidable foes.
