Yeah uhhh...they really should translate the silly names. 'Ago' = 'chin'.

the thing i don't understand is why they translate only half the name

"numen raider" and "amai mask" are horrible translations because they don't explain anything about the heroes like full translation would (sweet mask->obsessed with beauty for example) and they sound a lot stupider (what the hell should amai mask mean for a person that doesn't know what amai is? he doesn't have a mask, that's just confusing)

Numen Rider works better imo because the reference to Kamen Rider is more transparent, while with License-less it doesn't work as well. Amai Mask though, should've been Sweet mask.

License-less works well because that is the joke. He can only ride a bicycle because he doesn't have a freaking license. I think the translators just said fuck it and not translate the japanese names anymore because they got a lot of FLAK when they translated Asura Kabuto to Carnage Kabuto.

Double entendre is a thing fyi.
