Kamen Rider: General Thread

The weird stuff is really a big part in why I like post decade KR. That belt seems like a good evolution from the bottle.

Episode 7:

Not only do I no longer think Katsuragi Takumi (the guy that everyone thinks Banjou killed) is even dead, I'm pretty sure he's been right in front of us as Blood Stalk. this whole time, I was positive that either Sawa or Souichi was Blood Stalk, but with the emphasis on Takumi, i now realize there's a much better choice, especially if everything we've learned about him is true.

Also someone pick up the phone because I CALLED IT back in episode one who Night Rouge was.

So...according to a pair of underpants◊ Claws is Cross.

...Huh.

Not the way I expected that to be confirmed.

To be fair, toku has a lot of kids clothing, it's just something that's never really relevant to this portion of the fandom

*Cross-Z.

Episode 8!

I was honestly thrown all around over who actually would come out the winner this time. I was afraid the team would get set back again twice, but 'eyyyy I'll take victory by contingency and "smug planning". Especially since Project Build soooooounds like it might finally lead us towards Kamen Rider Cross(-Z)...?

Aesthetically, I definitely... didn't see this week's Best Match coming. But I guess if it works it works. Night Rogue's henshin was goddamn killer and I'll infinitely appreciate every attempt Banjou makes at trying to fight without transforming.

I agree about the Banjou thing. It's making the build up towards his eventual ascension to Rider Hood all the better. We know it's coming, and the post movie episodes will be interesting.

Episode 9:

...

I KNEW IT!!!! I TOLD ALL OF YOU!!!

What do think about this Abridged Coola?

Getting off my high horse for a moment, it's looks like my suspicion that Katsuragi is alive is also on the money, but I have a feeling him being Stalk is now too obvious. Plus, I suspicious of Sento's reaction to Katsuragi's mother's cooking. I'm wondering if the person we currently think to be Sento, and the person who we think is Katsuragi are ...doing a bit of a trade so to speak. There's no proof yet, but I feel good on my theories, so I'm gonna stick with it.

Kamen Rider #1 Movie Suit Photoshop I Found: https://imgur.com/a/jtzEE

At last, after ten thousand years, The Stranger has returned!

Finally set all the important bits for my new laptop, and now I can visit this place again.

... I have forgotten all the shortcuts to forum making. Can anybody point/list all the things I must do to modify the shape and color of my text; add links to tropes, other websites and videos; and etc?

The ones that involves these symbols [ ] and stuff?

I keep trying to click the markup help and it's still not popping up.

Anyway, that Neo Ichi-Gou photoshop? It just makes me wish Ichimonji Hayato/Rider 2 was in the movie. But I understand that the accident that happened to his actor long ago severely affected his confidence. Fortunately, he's willing to interact with fans nowadays and reprise his role, but only as the voice with no physical appearances. Same goes to V3's actor.

Not Fujioka Hiroshi; he's badass

The most tragic of all is Super-1's actor; dude basically swindled some rich, loyal fans by duping them that the original Cyclode henshin belt was stolen by the yakuza. This was... around 2013, I think, when he was discovered? Saw photos of him doing a dogeza to fans, one of them doing a What the Hell, Hero? by saying that trope almost verbatim.

Now,he's a fugitive on the run, last time I checked. God, now we'll never get a proper Fourze & Meteor x Super-1 team-up.

Oh, I saw two twitter videos where Skyrider's actor did his henshin sequence. I think it was from a normal show; one video is the unaltered version, the other has effects and bgm from the show added in.

Now I KNOW he wants to return if he's willing to do so, but Toei is still cheap, last time I check. Getting Odagiri Jo back as Kuuga will be a goddamn miracle, and I ain't holding my breath for it.

Hibiki's actor was fired for being a jerkwad to the staff... damn, that Rider is my favorite, too. At least Climax Fighter uses his voice, somehow.

So... that's all I hafta say. Sorry for the long post, but for the new ones, this is basically my thing. For the veterans who may or may not remember me... hi again.

I have a job now, so I can't frequent this place like I used to. Not to mention I need to continue my fanfics while juggling through work.

See you later!

Latest ep:

Holy shit! Was I right about Sento being Katsuragi? Because we saw Stalk change that other dude's face, which certainly raises that possibility.

Next week the build-up for Banjou finally pays off, and it looks like it'll be just in time for the big crossover...or will it be after. I'm not sure.

Crossover movie isn't until next month. We won't know where it fits in the timeline until then either.

So, just finished W (well, not the Returns or crossover movie yet but main series and summer movie done). Definitely one of my favorite series so far. One problem though...

How the hell does Phillip never hit his head?

...That's a very good point.

Edit: Build episode 11.

He arrives. The birth of the dragon. Awwww yeah!

And damn, his finisher is basically the love child of the Dragon Rider Kick and the Kabuto Rider kick! Nice!

Also, Sawa is used as bait once she's discovered. I'm guessing she's gonna be team build full time now.

That always got me worried, though sometimes there was someone to catch him when he fell.

Yeah, but that someone was Akiko. That's as good as hitting the floor as far as I'm concerned.

I like to headcanon that one of Philip's last reflexes is to brace for the fall, since you can catch his actor doing it in certain shots.

And Banjou finally comes through!! God that was super satisfying to see.

One more bit, first look at God Maximum X in all its glorious purple splendor.

Not a massive fan of Blue Lazer though.

Fucking hell those suits.

W Returns: Accel down. I like the 'spin-off movie for non-main Rider' thing and it suited Ryu's character pretty well. Weird to see Invisible (can't remember her name) return but I guess it works. Also, one of the credits bloopers shows Shotaro's actor about to henshin and accidentally throw his memory and I find that weirdly hilarious.

Rumor:

Episode 13: Title- N/A Airs- 12/3/17

Nabeshima regains his memory and tells Sento the truth about Katsuragi’s murder. However, Sento is confused about Katsuragi being the mastermind behind everything...

Episode 14: Title- N/A Airs- 12/10/17

Sento reveals Stark’s identity to Ryuuga, and both are surprised by who it is. Thinking that Stark will target their Full Bottles again, the two begin to build secret weapons.

Episode 12:

Damn, Sawa went full action hero on us...or more Action Survivor. I kinda like her now.

YES WE HAVE ANOTHER DAD KAMEN RIDER.

Bah! It's not up for me yet. I'm so annoyed.
