Kamen Rider: General Thread

I figured that Foundation X had crossed paths with Yggdrasil, but they ended up being the few factions they didn't fund. Mainly because of Takatora cutting ties.

I'd say bring back Shocker and make them genuinely menacing, but they're already used in the last movie...

But I'm not kidding about bringing back someone familiar from the olden days and making them terrifying. Hell, how about making someone new and terrifying for once?

I know it's a kids show, but judging from all the crazy shits in both era of tokusatsu, the creators believe that kids have bigger balls than the rest. I'm sure they can handle it

Perhaps a villain on Kuuga's Level? Dude was a walking nuke. Imagine fighting that.

Only in that form.

N-Daguva-Zeba however is a different story...

And Agito is probably stronger, considering that his powers came from a God, and he then kicked the rival of said God in the face.

Well, that is the best way to handle that situation.

Welp, I found some PSX Kamen Rider games (namely for Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, V3, and Classic), so I'm going to try out the Agito one.

I have all except the original. Agito was fun, but sadly Another Agito isn't there. Or maybe I never unlocked him, I dunno.

I love how spammable Agito's Diving Kick is (as opposed to his actual Rider Kick). Makes him difficult to hit and it fills the super guage by a quarter.

It's also kinda neat how the bad guys don't have a health bar - you just keep beating on them until your super guage hit 100% and then use your Finishing Move on them for a cutscene victory.

I also love the opening CGI. I mean... look at it.

It is cool, but I think it's cooler how they kept the Theme Music Power-Up with an instant BGM Override over to Believe Yourself once you get your super guage past 50%.

Gills's drop kick isn't quite as fun as Agito's flying kick, but I think I'm steadily getting the hang of this.

...okay, Gills's Combat Tentacles flail move is OP. It's got decent range, and the second swipe is anti-air, too.

OH MY GOD G3'S GUN IS AWESOME

EDIT: Well, that was fun. Maybe I'll try the Kuuga one next.

Also, I'm pretty sure the game was released before Another Agito even appeared. Perhaps even before G3-X debuted, since Hikawa pwns everything in the regular G3 suit.

EDIT x2: Went through the Kuuga game. It felt considerably shorter than the Agito game, but also feels a lot more like a traditional fighting game, in a good way. The controls are also a lot more intuitive than a lot of other fighters I've had tried (like Street Fighter), so that's a plus.

Now to finish up the Heisei era with the Ryuki game.

black and Kiva 26.

Black:

• Don't worry about it, you are just a girl! Our hero folks. Defender of the innocent, (hopeful) puncher of oceans, and sexist twit.

• Oh shit! Golgom's got Super Water-Buffalo on their side!

• ........What? I'm not the only one who remembers that show right? ......um....Hey everyone! lets watch Kotaro get rofl-stomped by a little girl.

• Oh! There go the horns! And Buffalo mutant meets the same fate as his predecessors. Once again Sexist jerk Black saves the day.

Kiva:

• Otoya gets his memory back before he cheats on Yuri but we all know how it's going to end.

• That spider dick got kicked right in the Spider Dick. How Ironic (Yeah, I know that's probably not real irony).

• And Nago cries like a little girl before admitting he's weak. Nice to see some humility out of him.

• Spider Moron somehow survives a super form finisher, only to get his from Mio......well, that sucks for a lot of people.

And that's that for today. Rob.....out!

Yeah, Kotaro being a sexist twit just came right out of nowhere. It does make a little cathartic to see demon-girl beating the snot out of him though.

I blame Japan's casual sexism, and the times.

The latter more than the former really, since Japan is still pretty casually sexist.

It's also pointlessly sexist, in addition to how casual it is, which is a bad combination.

Then again, I bring up particular point a lot. I mean, it's not like other countries are less sexist than Japan.

As for Kotaro, he makes up for it by beating up Golgom, so I'm gonna give him a pass.

True dat. In-Universe, you could probably chalk it up to him being stressed during that day.

Black and Kiva 27.

Black:

• HEN... ~Awesome music starts up~ ...SHIN!!!!! ''~Shit starts exploding~' Uh oh 0_0.

• And now a little boy is in danger. Golgom, you done fucked up now, cause Black swore to help the Ill boy and there's no such thing as a hero who doesn't save the day before the child undergoing the dangerous operation undergoes that dangerous operation.

• And Black saves the day by jumping to his death....wait, I mean, by hen shining in the air to avoid the pods.

• Rider....PUNCH!!!! Rider.....KICK!!!!! The day is saved, cause Golgom didn't learn to put bombs in the air.

Kiva:

• All the wonderful Blue Sky people are getting arrested.....did that cop not see Nago fighting an evil monster? Do you really want to stop him from doing his job?

• And now, Nago travels through time. That's crazy man.

• I don't know why Kengo thinks it's a good idea to start playing music while a fight is going on, but what can you do?

• And now, the idiot (who's been less of an idiot lately) and the jerk face (who's on the road to being less of a jerk-face) will face off. Can Nago change the past? Can Kiva save the day? Tune in next Kiva time, next Kiva channel.

At least the Rider Sexism back then was tame compared to what we have now, right?

By the way, anybody familiar with Senran Kagura? Despite its content, I read that the story is pretty damn good. Then again, it has multiple sequels so it did something right.

Making a crossover with it other than someobvious choices is difficult, but one of its themes is ninjas.

A younger Murasame Kamen Rider ZX teaming up with the heroines. How will that work?

It'd be weird, since Male characters in Senran Kagura are kinda unimportant from what I understand.

I think they are literally faceless most of the time.

Which is why I'm involving BADAN.

I don't think they've the time to make a fake school or something, so I'm blaming BADAN for having a man becoming important

Black and Kiva 28.

Black:

• Golgom has a plan to capitalize on the weakness of humans.....again.

• Wow. People are sure being assholes about bugs. Must be a Golgom plot......again.

• Kotaro is having a Heroic BSoD........Not!!!!! Ah Yeah! Birugenia is a sucker!!!! Whoop his ass Black!

• And old Birugenia takes his first ever Rider kick! Bitch is lucky he's got that shield, otherwise, he'd be toast. That's what you get for thinking you could break the Spirit of a Kamen Rider. If these guys could fall so easily, they'd be villains instead of heroes!

Kiva 28:

• Nago gets his ass kicked, but receives some nice advice from Otoya.

• I wonder if his boss will remember that he met him. Time travel is kind funky. Also, as bad as the Kiva movie is, it'd almost fit into the series if they'd bothered with Rising Ixa considering that they introduced the time travel element in the series around the time the movie started airing.

• Oh shit! He stopped one crippling, but caused another. Equivalent Exchange at work I suppose. It's not like Kengo is gonna be bitter or anything.

Oooooh, yes. THAT episode of Kamen Rider Black. The one I refer as "the day Minami Kotaro caused a wave of suicides that most certainly happened offscreen".

Let's recap : the adults act like greedy dicks, and NEVER learn that what they did was wrong, not even at the end of the episode. Many apparently left their jobs for tending to those beetles, depending on them for making a living. And thanks to the beetles being somehow linked to the mutant that created them, when Kotaro defeats said mutant, all the beetles disappear. Leaving who knows how many households without a way to meet ends. Hooray. I'm sure all those people are going to think back at all this rationnally and not do something terrible out of despair.

Okay, okay, I kid. I shouldn't apply this kind of logic to this show. It's supposed to be upbeat, dammit !

Well, that's rather depressing.

Also Drive 45:

You went out like a Boss Chase. God speed, Kamen Rider Chase, aka Mashin Chaser, aka Proto Drive. You died as you lived.....a Kamen Rider.

Dammit! Banno would wreck the Mach Driver Honoh! I was hoping Kiriko would inherit it and become the new Chaser (though that depends on (1) if the writers have the balls to do that, and (2) if Chase doesn't find a way to come back, though he shouldn't. There's a chance Rinna can repair it, but I'm guess with Gou apparently planning to use it to increase his power, it will go to him instead. Once again, the girl gets screwed.

That being said.... I was a little torn on Shinnosuke telling Kiriko to stay behind, but the fact that she chose to come anyway allows me to enjoy the fluffy moment and ignore the blatant sexism once again.

Here, this should make you feel better◊

Good job sir.

Man, Five Nights At Freddys would be less terrifying if Black just showed up and wrecked shit.

Edit: Have suddenly found myself listening to Spinning Wheel, but the full version isn't out yet. That being said, it rocks....and hard.

Black and Kiva 29.

Black:

• Kidnapping Astronauts now. Golgom, that's unforgivable.

• Katsumi just chilling with her home girl......HOLY SHIT! SHE GOT STABBED IN THE NECK!!!!

• ~Fake friend gets up and asks what's wrong with a huge scar on her neck that's not bleeding~ What's wrong Katsumi?!

• Well, she was smart enough to run at least..... and immediately gets captured.

• Now Birugenia and the asshole priests are working at cross purposes with each other. Typical.

• Oh shit! Mannequin bitch gone crazy!! Get out of there girls! She'll fuck you up!

• Black! Rider punch this dude a little quicker 'fore he kills yer ladies! ~Black Rider punches the hell out of Armadillo Mutant and evil crazy Mannequin chick disappears~ Phew. Good job.

Kiva:

• So Megumi has a little brother eh?

• Nago is still trying to figure out what the deal with Wataru is. He just has to accept it really.

• .....Oh Shizuka! I hope you are hated by everyone for what you did, cause this is Japan, so you'll probably get away with it.

• So Otoya just doesn't care that Jiro went nuts and tried to kill him and rape Yuri? Well, I guess that's just the weirdness of Japan.

• Kengo can't move his hand. I'm sure there's no Foreshadowing there.

• Oh shit. I don't know if the world can survive a Rook who does good deeds.

• Oh shit! I don't think Yuri and Megumi can survive a Rook who beats the shit out of them!!!! 0_0
