Junk article that does not cite any real reference between Masamune's helmet and Darth Vader's design. Oh yes Lucas loved Kurosawa movies and so what? It seems like a weak link if any. And it sounds like a product placement piece to advertise Bandai figurines... > A complex character who has experienced many tragedies that have brought him into a spiral of revenge, much like Anakin Skywalker actually. Lol but seriously this guy sees connections everywhere

If you get The Making of Star Wars[1] book there's tons of detail on the development of the characters, including Darth Vader. I think this connection is largely coincidental.
