Kamen Rider: General Thread

x2

Hey man, spoilers aren't cool.

Heh. I kept remembering that post while watching the episode, but I think I'd have figured it out even without it.

I'm almost positive I suspected the owner of being Stalk way back when (after he poisoned Sento and then showed up to save him), but I think I lost track of that when I became suspicious of Sawa. Then I just assumed it really was Katsuragi. Now that we know Stalk is the owner, I'm back to my Sento is the real Katsuragi, and the Katsuragi who died was the real Satou Tarou theory.

Episode 14:

And now we move to the next stage... Gaim puns not intended.

Why does it feel like we're heading to finale territory? For me, at least.

I'd say it's more like we're finishing up the first big arc.

This usually happens around Movie time with the new form debuting and a big status quo change (a hero dying, a villain dying, some important reveals and all).

Well, time to see if my Sento is really Katsuragi with his face changed idea holds water. I'm really curious as to whether that one is on the money as well.

I guess since it's my first Kamen Rider series I've been in since the beginning. Or relative beginning, started when the show was five episodes in. Still haven't picked Ex-Aid back up and hadn't really started any of the others.

HOLY CRAP

And there's going to be new songs for each of the Lost Combo! (please let Burakawani get its own theme song)

Bandai need not do this, but they did it anyway!

For some reason, the shrimp and scorpion medals are switched up; maybe the Black Greeed, whatever it is, will resemble Doktor G from V3, even the shield & axe combo ... just my headcanon, though.

• Ebi/Shrimp + Kani/Crab + Sasori/Scorpion = Bigaso Combo
• Shika/Deer + Gazelle + Ushi/Cow = Shikagezi Combo
• Mukade/Centipede + Hachi/Bee (even though it's clearly a hornet) + Ari/Ant = Mukachiri Combo
• Seiuchu/Walrus + Shirokuma/Polar Bear + Penguin = Seishirogin Combo
• Same + Kujira + Okamiiou = Saramiuo Combo; yes they're Poseidon's medals.

There's also a Yadokari/Hermit Crab medal, but it's not part of any set, just an extra exclusive medal for the CSM. This was assigned for the arms, so I imagine it being either shields or gauntlets.

Heh. I bet anybody doing an OOO fanfic will get mad because of brand new material out of nowhere... not me tho; haven't even finished chapter 3 lol

Anyway, thoughts?

The Poseidon faceplate and the combos for all the extra medals are neat but it is such an absurd amount of money.

I'll probably have to do a double post since the next episode is probably due (fansub-wise) in a few hours, but I just caught up after almost two months and wanted to say that I was also suspecting of Soichi, but was kinda hoping it was Katsuragi... And Rob, your theory is cool and I'll go with that.

Oh, and Pirate-Train's color scheme is neat. I like it a lot.

Well, if I am right, we'll all be hearing from Coola.

In fact, you are right. Episode 15 is out! Damn, I missed saying that.

Yup.

Y'all need to excuse me. I need to strut.

Double post:

....THE KAMEN RIDER DRIVE WRITERS ARE IDIOTS!!!

Chase was a Robot...who worked with cops...and his base was a cop....but he was not a cop...

He was not a cop...

YOU DAMN FOOLS! THE JOKE WROTE ITSELF!!! THE. JOKE. WROTE. ITSEEEEELLLLLFFFFF!!!!!!

....Sorry. I feel better now.

So how would Masato Kusaka fair against Takeshi Asakura? Would Masato's mind games work on Asakura?

Not really.

Asakura is too focused on fighting everything in existence. He'd probably just ignore any attempt at manipulating him in favour of just beating Masato up.

GUESS WHO'S BACK

Spoiler for Build:

...who is that?

Its not Decade.
0/10 cards

Same actor as Past Kamen Rider Ixa from Kiva.

Suit is swag as hell.

Oh now I see it!

Otoya is back! And now, he's evil...well, evil again.

Or is that Nago? You said past Kamen Rider Kiva, so I'm assuming you're talking about the 1988 IXA suit.

Edit: Almost forgot to talk about today's ep.

To put it succinctly, war were beginning.

edited 24th Dec '17 10:01:27 AM by HandsomeRob

Yes, he's Otoya.

...

Bastard is probably gonna cheat on his girlfriend again.

On a different note, while Katsuragi did get the ball rolling on Faust, it looks like something happened that made him change his mind on things. I'm curious as to what happened to cause the split between him and Itsurugi, cause it looks like after a while, the latter just started taking control.

Perhaps he was always in the background, pushing Katsuragi to go forward with the experiments.

Guys, let's be careful with the spoilers XD

Anyway, this is how things are going to roll now, it seems. I wonder if the other country will get involved later on, since apparently only Hokuto declared war. And, with all the controversy over Japan wanting to run military operations overseas (be them peaceful or not), the political commentary I had seen in the beginning resurfaces again...

I can't wait for our color coded minions to inevitable all die within 3 episodes. Which would be a shame, considering how colorful they are, literally.

After a golden week, episode 17 is out!

As a mad scientist, we see that Sento has a compulsion for building stuff he doesn't even want to use. But that means Banjou gets a new upgrade and stays relevant for the next 5 episodes or so. Plus war scenes, children crying, Misora feeling guilty, Hard Smash dudes (good that they still come with new designs), predictably stronger than the normal ones... Oh, and greasy IXA.
