“ Q: So, what were the themes of Masterforce?

A: Well, they were basically just as depicted in the anime, but essentially "Super-god" [Chōjin] meant that in surpassing the gods, you return to the human being itself. This topic also relates to the ending. You see, BlackZarak changed into a serpent mode. Imbuing it with the most sinister meaning, we named it dakatsu, a snake/scorpion in both name and shape. With Giga and Mega as Adam and Eve, we likened Earth to the apple. And likewise, BlackZarak was the serpent that cast Adam and Eve out from Eden. That was the concept we placed in the snake form. 		”
