Kamen Rider: General Thread

No, seriously guys, I'm looking at the two and don't see anything that would be an exact same detail. Similar thematics, yes, actual recycling - no.

Apparently "white with silver shoulder pads" = "similar to Fourze". By that logic, the fact that it's white and purple means it must be a recycle of the Psyga suit.

Speaking of recycled suits, it's a damn shame we will never see Gaoh again because his suit was recycled to become Yuuki.

What, Toei too cheap to make a new one? Bring back Gills and Another Agito too, dangit!

They did bring back Gills.

It's been five years since then, but they did.

Technically, that's Exceed Gills. The original Gills suit along with the Another Agito suit is said to be damaged beyond repair because of water or something like that.

I want the OG himself. Another Agito is understandably nowhere to be seen because he is... well, there's another reason he doesn't appear outside Agito Because he's dead

But still, are they too cheap to make a new suit? They did it for the Showa Riders—because I know for damn sure the original suits are too damn old to be used anymore—so why not the Heisei guys?

Like that's an excuse for any deceased Rider.

To be fair Ryuki had a reset button, Kusaka is still dead, and Kaito is a tree. It's not that easy.

And of course, Yoko is nowhere to be seen.

Is Kamen Rider Delta's users still alive? Is the device still functional?

Accel is probably semi-retired, being married and all.

Mihara is still alive yes. I'm not sure what happened to the Delta Gear. I know the Kaixa gear was destroyed in the final battle of the Tv series, but Heisei vs Showa slightly altered things, so we can't be sure if events went down exactly the same now.

And as far as we know, the Psyga and Ohga gears don't exist in the TV-verse... yet. Who's to say that Smart Brain isn't building them after the final episode?

Oh, and those three from the Blade movie. I heard that it's years after the show, but I doubt it's canon.

Well, up until Kabuto (through Time Travel) and Den-O, Heisei movies were all non serial movies.

Is there anything left of Smart Brain. It lost every candidate for leadership in the aftermath of the Tv series.

The original head died, the guy who wanted be his successor died (via being eaten by the Arch-Orphenoch), and Kiba, the guy who became the actual leader died (via Heroic Sacrifice). Who's left to run the show.

That being said, you may be right that they might try to develop the Pysga and Orga gears. The king is still alive, and would still need protecting until he gets back on his feet.

Anyway, Agito 29 is down. Ryou is still face first in the water (that's a long time to be like that), Hikawa and Shouichi really work together for the first time, and something is wrong with Hikawa as well (I know what it is, but it's interesting to see it happening).

Yeah. About a year or so after a What If? scenario happened instead.

Given the circumstances, there'd be no need for the Glaive, Lance, and Larc belts unless an Albino Joker comes out of the blue and unsealed all the Ace cards.

Agito ep 20: It's been a long while, but here we go. O n seeing the recap, it occurs to me - Blue Agito hasn't ever really shown a specific Finishing Move like in his Yellow and Red forms.

Ugh, random humor sequence. <Face Palm> At least it's better than most of the ones we had in Wizard.

...dafuq did Aki just do? <unsettled>

You should be.

Agito's Storm Form's finisher is kinda subtle. He just flips the glaive, spin it like crazy, and stab-slash them.

According to the Battride Wars games, that's it. That's how his finisher is, just make some wind and blow.

Oh! I heard there's a recent Blade audio drama. I wonder if that's canon...

The show hasn't really kicked up the gear yet. However that's not what Agito is about, I don't even think it's about the three riders personally. It's about life, moreso then any other rider show I've ever seen. This becomes apparent in the later episodes and really so in the final episodes. I won't spoil it for you, but the conclusion isn't just about a Rider beating someone up, it's very different.

And some more original Kamen Rider.

KR 14: Mexico? Bit of a jump geographically. Oh, they have international branches. The head of Mexico branch is, of course, a cactus man. And there's a bunch of new people now at the racing club. Ah, the combatmen now (almost) have their iconic look though, that's good. And Rider 2 is here. Also, Takeshi and Ruriko went somewhere else because reasons.

KR 15: I'm not sure if "blow up all of Japan" is the best plan but whatever. Shocker is not having good luck with its cyborg bugmen. Hayato, I don't think chucking the bomb out of the window is a very good way of getting rid of it. And all the rest of the racing club are evidently kind of pathetic.

KR 16: "The only place you're getting off this bus is hell!" Oh Shocker, you zany mass murderers. Also, the monster that releases poison fog is killed by its own attack. Powerful enough to kill even a dinosaur in seconds, because of course it is. It makes a lot of sense that they have a trainer for all of their cyborg warriors but "Hurricane Joe"?

KR 17: Bartender: "What can I get you?" Masked man: "Lives. I'll take your lives." Also, the look on the girls' faces when they walk in and see that everyone died is so amazingly underwhelming. ...The Cyclone can just drive up walls? Cool.

I love how all Showa entries go "Fuck logic, we have JUSTICE to uphold!" when it's go time.

Fun question; I've been watching vids of Mortal Kombat X and I wonder which Kamen Riders would survive the longest. So... who are your picks?

Well, the heavily armour riders might do pretty well.

The ones that can quickly change forms would also be ok, and suppressed might help. Probably depends on who they are fighting, how far they are willing to go, and if they can get those vital seconds to form change if they have that ability.

I think Amazon and Gills have the right type of viciousness for Mortal Kombat.

So basically only the Showa Riders stood a real chance. Fine by me

But really though, I think Kuuga and Agito could stand a chance as well; if Godai wasn't Kuuga. I doubt he'd be willing do all those MK stuff unless he's succumbed to the Ultimate Darkness.

Agito... well, there's supposed to be more than one Agito, right?

Faiz could stand a chance. And his animality would be just untransforming and becoming the Wolf Orphnoch. Hibiki just needs to beat the shit out of people with his drumsticks.

Don't forget Shin. Kinda obvious.

Ooh, I wonder what the Riders' variation moves will be...

Agito 30 down.

Mana is manifesting her power, and I'm really starting to hate that glasses chick.

I remember her. She was an annoyance.

Agito ep 21: ...wow, that was kind of bad, the way Mana coincidentally pretty much looked everywhere except where Batshit Ryou was - incidentally, in the brightest corner of the room. <Face Palm>

...from now on, that's going to be my nickname for Gills, Batshit Ryou.

....crazy bitch needs to get put down, ASAP.

o.0 ...I guess that's one kill that defies the usual Unknown M.O...

Yeah, Agito's weapon finishers just aren't as cool as his Rider Kick.

...GOD DAMMIT INOUE

__________

Agito ep 22: ...poor Ryou. Also, Agito's got some damn fine "get the hell out of Dodge" powers.

V1 may have Japan's best minds working on it, but it already has one detrimental flaw: Ozawa isn't on that list.

....da-yumn, Ozawa can drink! o.0

Aaaaand it looks like Shouichi's getting his groove back. Nice.

She sure was. I know how she dies and I'm looking forward to it.

The second flaw with V1 is that Houjou is the user.

So, you guys seen Project G4 yet?
