Kamen Rider: General Thread

.....Ok. You win.

One Strip! One Strip!

Go big or go home

Okay, I'm feeling conflicted about it, but I'm gonna promote my fanfic. Which has a Trope page recently made by Eva (what a Bro) https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/KamenRiderKuugaRisingUntoTheStars

Conflicted because it feels like bragging and I never liked doing so, but on the other hand, I want to show people something cool that I made.

A stranger is like the shadows.It is so common to the world everyone will just ignore them.

Alright. I've done 22 and 23.

The new guys are getting ready to step onto the scene, and Godai is about to get his first rising form.

I like how there's been a build up to it, what with getting each form individual, and then the upgrades as well. I guess it makes sense, since there's no second rider to fill up some time in this series.

Also, when you see a strange woman walking around with what looks like a double edged scythe, you should do too things:

1) Don't keep heading towards her you fucking twits!!!!!!

2) If you do keep heading towards her, when she fucking says ''don't turn around'', '''FUCKING LISTEN!!!!!!!!'''

Stupid, stupid people who are stupid! Quit being stupid!

Edit: Episode 24 down. The titan rises!!!!!

And Sawatari seems to understand the concept of Woman with big ass Scythe! Run away!!!! better than the other ones. Good thing she's also a main character.

One Strip! One Strip!

To think that the amount of times the Grongi did their thing would wisen up the citizens, but nope! We gotta have tragedy to show what this new serial killer can do!

Otherwise, we wouldn't have a good story.

25 and 26 down.

Rising Pegasus is go!

And that explosion was...kinda big. Was this the point where everyone started to wonder if maybe Godai was getting too strong?

One Strip! One Strip!

I think that started when Godai uses Rising Mighty for the first time... for us, it was spectacular, but when you think about it, it's terrifying.

That's the one when he nuked a busy city centre, right?

Uh... the cops evacuated that whole sector before, remember? I think they know how explosive Kuuga's finisher is by then, so it would be dumb of them to go "Oh, it's okay citizens, no need to evacuate." when the Grongi exploded like grenades.

So no, it's not busy. And yes, that's when Kuuga accidentally nuked the place.

You've seen that popularly circulated screencap about the event, right? I'm alluding to the points made in it.

I've seen a lot of screencaps of a lot of things online... Sometimes, they may have screencaps of the same thing, but there's a lot of versions.

In other words, which one yer referring too?

A stranger is like the shadows.It is so common to the world everyone will just ignore them.

It's a couple posts, musing on how massive the explosion was, just how many people would have been there during the busy time of the day, on how short notice the evacuation order would be and how extremely large it was, concluding that there's really no way the police would've managed to anticipate and evacuate everybody. And how the district houses many embassies and Kuuga essentially nuked them.

Oh and also further extrapolating power boosts all the way up to Ultimate and Rising Ultimate and just how insane that one would be.

Ah, the Fridge Horror kind, eh?

Thank God Amazing Ultimate isn't a thing, otherwise... overkill isn't even the right word for it.

You know, I always imagine that, if there were more Grongi, Godai could have achieved Amazing versions for his other three forms. I do wonder what they can do... As for Amazing Ultimate, it's easy; there's a concept art for Ultimate Form where Kuuga dons a cape, making the similarities to Daguva even more apparent. Just add that, and you'll have a cool looking form.

Anyway, I've been wondering. Anybody here ever read the Kamen Rider manga? You know, the one that was made at the same time as the '71 show? Or any other manga versions of Kamen Riders? I know the lot of you have read Spirits, but the original manga? Just curious.

I told a while back that I had.

There was also the idea that Kuuga started World War 3.

Kuuga against the world, huh? Kinda make sense if Godai's will is gone and got replaced to be the Ultimate Darkness.

That would make a fine story to tell... and a depressing one. I imagine it ends with the 15 Showa Riders finishing Ultimate Kuuga off, and they are... alive, but in pieces.

... And now I'm thinking Kuuga vs. Japan's fleet...girls.

Kuuga vs Kancolle gals? That would be nuts and depressing at the same time.

Nuts, because that's one helluva matchup. Depressing that... well, if the story is done the same way as the show, you know Godai be suffering within.

Still, I think Kamen Rider X teaming up with Kancolle girls makes more sense; they're both have aquatic themes, right?

A stranger is like the shadows.It is so common to the world everyone will just ignore them.

Yeah.

Damn, imagine Apollo Geist having a shootout with the Kancolle gals. Then it turns out that whatever the Kancolle girls are fighting (I'll look that up someday) were creations of the Government of Darkness aka GOD.

lol Imagine Jin Keisuke being the admiral.

Fixed that for you. Because if you didn't notice, Ultimate Kuuga is kind of OP.

No duh he's OP, that form was meant to be OP. But I just want the 15 Showa Riders trying their damnedest to either snap Godai out of it or kill him.

Also Agito Shining Form isn't as strong as Kuuga Ultimate.

Guess the only ones that might stand a chance against him is Inazuman and Skull Man, who I deemed Ishinomori Shotaro's most powerful heroes. I mean it, they can do a LOT of insane stuff, and Skull Man is damn smart—basically matches Batman's or more—and Inazuman is basically an X-Men Mutant Psychic on drugs; his powers are nuts.

I shit you all not.

... If you excuse me, I'm going to rest. Monty Oum has just passed away and This Stranger is... sorrowful.

I haven't seen a lick of Agito, but I kinda figured that "beats up God" is probably a fair match for "blows up the planet".

I haven't seen it either, but the way I heard more detailed description, he did Rider Kick one of the show's two gods in the face, but it wasn't the typical finish-off-the-boss thing. The god was just really impressed with the attempt.
