1 | * CommonKnowledge: It's commonly believed by fans that ''Amazon'' was CutShort due to complaints from parents about its BloodierAndGorier nature. In actuality it had more to do with a [[Main/ChannelHop change in networks.]] |
2 | * CompleteMonster: [[MultipleHeadCase Ten-Faced Demon Gorgos]] is the leader of Geddon and a brutal sadist with a taste for human blood--[[LifeDrinker which gives him power]]--and giving ironic deaths to his own Beastmen. A subordinate to the Garanda Empire, Gorgos initially operated in the Amazon and burned a tribe alive in search of the [=GiGi=] Armlet before following hero Daisuke Yamamoto to Japan. Aside from targeting Daisuke's friends, Gorgos punishes those who dare to [[YouHaveFailedMe fail him]], through such means as burning; consumption by vampire bats; and exposure to the sun. After kidnapping several students from an elementary school, Gorgos has them [[WouldHurtAChild tied to the ceiling and tortured with hot gas]]. Growing bored of drinking men's blood, Gorgos sends the Beastmen to capture young women, and later children, for him to drain their blood. Capturing a human criminal, Gorgos turns him into the Ant Beastman, praising him for his violence even after he had attacked his own allies. Before his ultimate defeat, Gorgos invaded a local university and slaughtered multiple people with acid. |
3 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: Mole Beastman for being the first MonsterOfTheWeek to pull a genuine HeelFaceTurn and for his UglyCute design. |
4 | * HilariousInHindsight: The choice of StockFootage for the Condorer belt commercial ("Let's go, Porcupine!"[[note]]"Ikuze, Yamaarashi!"[[/note]]) becomes this when one remembers how [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga Kuuga]] handled the [[CurbStompBattle Porcupine Gurongi]]. |
5 | * {{Moe}}: The fandom considers Amazon to be one of the [[UglyCute cutest]] Riders, both in and out of suit, despite the BloodierAndGorier nature of his show. [[SincerityMode Yep.]] Exaggerated in ''Kamen Rider SD'' and certain other spinoffs where ''all'' Showa Riders get SuperDeformed. |
6 | * SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: |
7 | ** Amazon punched a monster's head off once. |
8 | ** Hell, Amazon in general, especially compared to every other Rider. |
9 | * {{Narm}}: It's difficult to watch the aforementioned final battle without being reminded of [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail the Black Knight.]] |
10 | ** The snake beastman's roar was a high-pitched, obviously human "DOODLEDOOOOOOOO!" |
11 | ** Gigi and Gaga are rather hilarious names for magic artifacts. [[HilariousInHindsight Especially]] [[Music/LadyGaga Gaga]]. |
12 | ** Amazon's belt buckle bears a striking resemblance to [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman.]] |
13 | * NewerThanTheyThink: Some of Amazon's early signature attacks didn't have names at all (obviously, because he didn't know Japanese at that point); only the Daisetsudan (Big Slice) was properly named after he learned the language. The [[ManBitesMan Jaguar Shock]] and [[AbsurdlySharpClaws Monkey Attack]] didn't actually get proper names until 2009's ''All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker'', where voice actor Creator/TomokazuSeki ad-libbed them during Amazon's fight against Decade. |
14 | * SpecialEffectsFailure: Quite a few of them, but probably the biggest is when Amazon fights Snake Beastman on a log-ride. He's clearly grappling with an empty monster suit. |
15 | ** Also the main villain is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSBsQ0ci-Kk just laughable]]. |
