The Sonic Storybook series may be one of Sonic’s less popular adventures, but that doesn’t stop it from containing some very cool, Tokusatsu referencing moments!

Their swords are also fairly similar.
While the game and show share no staffing, it is probably safe to say that at least some inspiration was drawn from Garo for Sonic’s Excalibur armor and for Caliburn (the sword) itself.
What do you think? Do you see a resemblance, or is this just overthinking things? Let us know in the comments!

Additional trivia: the final boss fight theme features guitar work by Marty Friedman, who also provided guitar work for MEGAMAX’s “Samurai Strong Style”.
That said, given that the game out five years ago, yer kinda late to the party. :V
