Ask Ami: How do you de-henshin?
This question originally came from a comment in the guest book on my old site when it was still being operated via a freeserver.
That is a sort of mysterious one, depending on the method of henshin. When we use our phones to disguise ourselves we tend to lose the disguise after an extended period of time, or if there is some sort of energy ‘ripple’ in the area.
With our senshi forms, after the battle once we are able to, we find a place where we can relax and ‘power down’ as it were. I have a feeling given when Rei-chan was attacked and ‘drained’ by a youma that she was unable to muster the energy to henshin, if we were attacked and ‘drained’ by a youma in senshi form we may lose too much energy and involuntarily revert to our civilian form.
That is one hypothesis I have said many times that I am not keen to test; but unfortunately since I was first asked that question we have had the opportunity too, and it is indeed the case, and it was not fun in the slighest.
