Kamen Rider: General Thread

Wasn't that Shadowmoon's fault for booting him out for the sake of a political statement?

....

This is true.

Tendou isn't a professional chef. But he will be, eventually.

(Since there's a Kabuto episode summary going on here, does this count as a spoiler?)

Hey, Tendou's Gonna Tendou.

....

And now I can't help but wonder what Tendou's actual job is.

Did he just come into some cash at some point.

For all we know, Grandmother was loaded.

It's not impossible that did some odd jobs here and there and excelled at them to bring in money before he got bored and moved on to the next one. Or maybe he sold some of his cooking.

I'd say his profession is Kabuto, simple as that. :P

Nay.

His profession is being the man who walks the path of heaven and rules over all.

He was that long before he became Kabuto, and he's been waiting to be Kabuto since he was a little kid.

Soo... I just finished V3, Overall I had an awesome time with it and it feelt like a Even Better Sequel to the original.

Anyway next up is X.

Soo... I watched the first 6 episodes of X and I am really liking it especially X himself.

Also, In wich episode does the infamous Starfish Hitler show up?

Episode 26

Thanks.

Starfish Hilter....

Either the greatest idea ever, or the worst one. It's up to history to decide.

Which probably means the second one.

I believe that whether you think it was a great idea or a terrible one says much more about yourself than about the show.

.........

Well, that's not fair.

Edit: Ghost 47.

At this point, I don't know who's fucking who anymore.

RIDER ORGYYYYYYYYY !!!

Oh wait, that's not what you meant, was it ?

In hindsight, I probably should have chosen my words better.

Edit: RX and Kabuto 35.

RX:

• Say everyone! Remember that time Kotara kept beating up that Detective?

• <Police are chasing Kotaro around like he's Hitler>

• Well, so do the cops.

• Actually, Crisis used magical 80's hacking to make him the main suspect of a bombing.

• Maribaron: And now for part 2! <Maribaron sends Will Ogre into Kotaro's body>

• Will Ogre: Ah yeah! Can't rider kick me when I'm inside you! <starts stabbing Kotaro's insides with his pitch fork>

• Kotaro: Either I made a mistake eating that rotten burrito....or this is crisis plot. <Writhes in pain> Oh god. Lets this be a crisis plot.

• And now Crisis is using their magical 80's hacking to send a bunch of dudes to jail. Mean while....

• <Will Ogre stabs Kotaro in the heart> I wish I had a gun. ....Do y'all get it?

• Maribaron: So RX is dead?

• Will Ogre: Y'arp.

• Maribaron: And there's no one to get in the way of our plan?

• Will Ogre: Y'arp.

• General Jak: Alright! Time for all of us to take the credit for Maribaron's hard work! <Gedorian, Gatezone and Bosgun all nod>

• Maribaron: .......N'ARP! <Cuts them off>

• Crisis Assholes: ......BITCH!

• Meanwhile, RX's dead body (snigger! yeah right) has been brought to the secret lair where they do the magical 80's hacking with their (I kid you not) demon computer....I think it was called that. So maybe I do kid you and just don't know it.

• RX: The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

• Will Ogre: But I stabbed you! In the Heart! While inside your body! How the fuck are you not dead?

• Kotaro: Funny you should ask. Do all of you remember Kamen Rider Black RX episode 20?

• Everyone: Banana Daggers!!!!

• Kotaro: Good. Long story short, this time, I just transformed into Bio Rider. Crisis.....<Puts on shades....while still transformed into Black>

• Maribaron and Will Ogre: Don't you fucking dare!

• Kotaro: Averted.

• <Kotaro kills Will Ogre (and it's kinda funny that the Monster of episode 20 was also an Ogre) and saves the day>

• Papa Sahara: So, how did you get out of jail?

• Hitomi: Because he's RX dumbass!

• Kotaro, Reiko and Shigeru: ........ 0_0;

• Mama Sahara: Yeah. Sure he is!

• Hitomi: It's a miracle this family is still in one piece.

Kabuto:

• Renge discards her life as a Zect agent to become Tendou's (unwanted) disciple. And Kageyama discards his dignity to become a little bitch.

• Kagami is told to protect a dude. That dude is a worm. The Native plot is finally kicking off.

• Shun finally falls so far that Yagaruma has him in his pocket. Behold, the birth of Kick hopper.

• This one is pretty short, but shit gets real next episode.

So based on what all I've seen, I think my top ten KR shows, from first to last, would be Faiz, Gaim, Fourze, Agito, Amazons, OOO, Ryuki, Double, Kiva, and Kabuto, in that order.

What are you guys' thoughts on those ten?

My besties list is Kabuto, Amazons, then everyone from Decade to Drive in order that varies by the phase of the moon and local weather.

On your list, Kabuto should be higher Ryuki and Faiz I don't like enough to be on the top list at all (misunderstaaaandiiings!)

edited 8th Sep '16 11:58:04 PM by Adannor

With Faiz, the misunderstandings I could tolerate because it's meant to be ironic (the hero uses a phone as a Transformation Trinket, but he has trouble communicating his problems and the like), plus communication is one of the main driving themes of that show, so it makes sense that communication problems occur many times in it.

Personally, I just consider Faiz my favorite because of its dark and mature tone, awesome designs, interesting characters and relationships (along with one of the most delightfully despicable villain Riders), and overall story. Gaim comes close though, with Fourze right behind it.

So I haven't had a chance to watch Kamen Rider but I have read about it online. Which series would you guys recommend for me to start with?

x4

I haven't seen most of that list but personally I can't agree with any Top 10 list that leaves out Ghost and puts Gaim anywhere near the top.

Some good ones to start are Kamen Rider Double (comedic/noir detective theme), Kamen Rider Fourze (highschool theme) and Kamen Rider Drive (police theme). Or just go down the list of series and see what supplemental themes appeal to you amongst all the series.

Or just pick whichever suit you like the look of the most - visuals are a big part of the genre.

Thanks.

Also what themes for the suits would you guys be interested in seeing in future? I'm thinking something like precious stones.
