Description

"Too live...to fight for this world...that is my redemption. Never again shall I fall unto darkness."
"The Dragon's Unbreakable Will! Naito Silver!" 

Template made by Taiko554
Bitoku Sentai Naitoger Folder can be found here.

And here is the seventh, and final, member to the Modern Day Naitogers! This time it is the moon/dragon-themed Naito Silver.

Backstory/Information: 

After Naito Eclipse's battle with Naito Gold, his Dark Changer was damaged and began to malfunction. This combined with the intense light-based energy he was exposed to during the fight had caused him to lose himself. He was no longer Naito Eclipse, but he wasn't the man who he was before; instead he was someone lost between, hopelessly trying to piece together who he was and where he came from and began to wonder aimlessly. As this happened, the leaders of the Netherworld became distraught with the development. If the Naitogers found Eclipse in this state, then they would certainly turn their weapon against them. Several search parties were sent out to find their missing Knight.

Meanwhile, Eclipse's Dark Dragon was more fortunate then it's master, being fully resorted to his original form, the Lunar Spirit Dragon. But in the process, was separated from his old companion. The Dragon immediately sought out the other Naitogers, and managed to get them to help in his search for the lost soul. As the hours turned into days which turned to weeks, the remnant of Naito Eclipse was found by both the Naitogers and the Netherworld forces, and unfortunately for him he was caught in the middle of the ensuing battle. During which, the Dark Changer was broken completely and Naito Eclipse was no more, leaving behind one of the first Naitogers, Simon Ward. After the battle was won, Simon reluctantly agreed to join the team after some encouraging words from Yumi.

After being revived from being Eclipse, Simon is a very kind and apologetic soul. Being fully aware of his actions as Naito Eclipse, he feels obligated to make it up to his new teammates whenever he can, often coming off as a bit over bearing at times. He is also very enthusiastic about learning about the new, modern world he now calls home. As a traditionally trained Knight, Simon is easily the most skilled of the modern day team, and has even become a bit of a mentor in terms of combat training and strategy.  

His Spirit Partner, Lunar Spirit Dragon, is a very reserved and noble creature. Unlike his Solar Counterpart, Dragon does not see himself as a god, despite his celestial power. He believes that all life is worth protecting in some regard. Dragon has only every granted his power to those in the Ward Bloodline.  

Simon is the 7th Naito Silver, and the last remaining of the Original Naitogers.

Naito Silver's design was probably the one I had the hardest time finalizing. Weather it be his color scheme, helmet design, visor shape, armor design, and even his weapon went through multiple variations.

For his armor, his chest piece is a variation of the armor worn by Naito Eclipse, just without the big wing-like covers, and some new shoulder armor. Speaking of which, the shoulders are decorated with a Crescent Moon Insignia, to show the Lunar Motif of his Partner. Also, for his helmet-less shot, I decided to show what this suit looks like without the armor, just for some visual variety. It's meant to be the older style of Naitoger Tunics. Like his Tunic, is also the older style. Instead of a cellphone, he uses a wrist based transformation device.  

His weapon was originally going to be a lance of some kind, but I couldn't find a design I liked, so I gave him a long-sword in stead. 

And like I said on the Naito Eclipse/Naito Gold pictures, this guy also has inspirations from the sketch that Taiko554 did for me. However, of the three, I feel this guy has the least inspiration from said sketch. You'll know what I mean when I upload the bonus image later today. 

Anyway, that should do it for Naito Silver. And with that, no more civilian forms for the Naitogers! Though we aren't done yet. I still have a couple more ideas I want to pixel out. Though those may take a bit longer then I'd like, but good things are worth waiting for...or evil things, in this case.

Please do not use without permission. Enjoy.

That's quite an update on his story.  It wasn't a bad idea for him to "decide to never pick up a sword again", but this new idea is interesting nonetheless.  Kinda seems like Merrick from Wild Force, though just a bit.

Nice redesign too.  I like how some elements are kept from Eclipse, makes it imaginable that the evil form was a corrupted version of This one.  Great work, man.
