And as a bonus for the Styler special taking so long-- I'm lying, this was already planned. A new form for Aqua! Because he's existed and been unused for Toei long enough that he deserves more than just a crossover.

Deep Form, as I defined it, is what happens when Aqua is submerged in water and can power-up even further. I don't know if I depicted it well enough, but I implied that Aqua can become stronger if he takes on more water before transforming - this is what happens when it's all around him at all times. He's faster and more importantly, he glows! But that's just a thing that appeals to me.

It was interesting working on this. Since Aqua is very much his own entity - not based on the OOO designs and moreso just Showa-y - I basically went the Drive route of making an entirely new helmet design. Once I got the diver motif, it slowly but surely got made.

Oh also, I considered calling this Deep Aqua, but between introducing a new name to call him so late, and the fact that we have Deep Specter, I figured it was safe to just use the standard form naming style. This was stuff I decided before Build brought it back into style.
