Production notes

  • The physical architecture of the Yoroi armor draws inspiration from its namesake, a Japanese armor named ō-yoroi, which is Japanese for "great armor" and was worn by the Japanese samurai. The armor core features horizontal rows of armor plates on the arm shoulders, while the armor below the waist resembled the haidate, which were thigh guards that tied around the waist and covered the thighs. The HIKESHI and KABUTO helmets feature characteristics like a large crest on the helmet and a neck guard made of curved plates. The Swordsman's Belt adds a uwa-obi around the waist, with the tantō handle typically facing towards the wearer's right-hand side for use when grappling in close quarters. The Ever-filled Juzu features the juzu, which were rice rations carried by samurai and named after Buddhist prayer beads.
    • Hikeshi is Japanese for "firefighting". The HIKESHI helmet, especially its shikoro neckguard, bears a strong resemblance to the modern Japanese firefighter helmet, characterized by its flaps, the design of which has descended from the Edo period, when the hikeshi (firefighting) system and buke hikeshi (samurai firefighters) were introduced.
    • Chonmage is a type of traditional Japanese topknot haircut worn by men and commonly associated to samurai. The CHONMAGE helmet features a protrusion which resembles the topknot.
    • Kabuto is "combat helmet" in Japanese, though it commonly refers to helmets worn by ancient Japanese warriors and samurai.
    • Yōkai refers to the supernatural entities and spirits in Japanese folklore. Similar to the Yōkai, which often have animal features, the YOKAI helmet possesses animalistic horns and teeth.
  • The CHONMAGE helmet's design is based on the Mark VI GEN1 variant of EVA-class Mjolnir helmet seen in Halo 3, featuring a very similar visor shape and indentations, along with a similar mouthguard design.
  • The YOKAI helmet's design is based on the LOCUS-class Mjolnir helmet seen in Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians, albeit featuring additional horns, a simplified mouth design with teeth, and a nose sculpt.
