History Funny / ShinKamenRider2023

-->'''Kumo Aug''': Oh, darn. In the air, I'm at a disadvantage!

** When Hongo expresses his surprise that the Midorikawas had a second safehouse, Ruriko boasts that [[{{Catchphrase}} she's always prepared]], and that no one could possibly find them there while they prepare for their next move. Cue her opening the door, clearing herself and Hongo through security, and entering the house…[[InstantlyProvenWrong to the sight of two government men waiting inside]]. Apparently, Ruriko was thinking, "no one ''from SHOCKER'' could possibly find them".

* When beginning their hunt for Hachi Aug, [[TheOner a long tracking shot follows Hongo and Ruriko as they walk through the town market, Ruriko dropping exposition all the while.]] When Hongo suddenly motions for her to stop, Ruriko initially thinks he's taking issue with something she said, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent only to discover that an entire crowd of]] [[MeaningfulBackgroundEvent mind-controlled citizens had been slowly gathering behind them the entire time]]. Also doubles as [[NightmareFuel/ShinKamenRider2023 an incredibly creepy moment]].
* Hachi Aug seems to have the upper hand the first time. Hongo and Ruriko are in her lair, she's transformed into her full Augment form, and she has the townspeople under her control blocking off the elevator. What thwarts her from apprehending the pair? Simple: there's an open balcony, and the pair can escape since one of them is a wind-powered grasshopper mutant.

* Unable to fight Hayato Ichimonji/Batta Aug-02, Hongo tells his opponent "We'll settle this another time", before extracting Ruriko and himself from Ichiro's lair. Batta Aug-02 seems to interpret this as "chase Hongo and Midorikawa until the former gathers enough prana to fight at full strength, then stop their bike". Well, a few minutes after leaving enemy territory seems to count as "[[ExactWords another time]]".

* How does Hongo show off his leg has healed? By doing a little backflip in front of the government agents.
* This gem from when they are fighting Ichiro:
-->'''Ichimonji''': I guess you do have a plan against him do you?\\

'''Ichimonji''': You do?! ''[exasperated]'' Why didn't you say anything then!? Next time, mention that before we start.

--->'''Ichiro''': ''[gathering up his rodes]'' Then I have no interest in you. You may flee. Just leave my sister there.

* After defeating Kumo Aug, Kamen Rider starts to carry Ruriko away from the scene, similarly to the ending of Episode 1. Except in this version, Ruriko isn't unconscious.

* How does Ruriko infiltrate Koumori Aug's compound? [[RefugeInAudacity By walking up the front door and waving at the cameras in a cutesy fashion,]] [[NotSoAboveItAll a wide smile on her face.]]

** The fact that her venom containers are labeled with the English text "SAA[[note]]the abbreviation for '''Sa'''sori '''A'''ug-01[[/note]] KAWAII DOKU" is especially [[BlackComedy morbidly hilarious]]. Of course a CuteAndPsycho Augment like Sasori Aug would call her incredibly-deadly poison "[[NightmareFetishist cute]]" to the point of making it a standardized label.

* While Ruriko's working on something while camping, Hongo makes her some food. Ruriko regards the food as necessary nourishment, while Hongo advises her to savor the food, something [[SenseLossSadness he is unable to do now that he subsists on prana]]. Later, when Hachi Aug's brainwashed townsfolk encroach upon them, Hongo and Ruriko start packing up camp…but Ruriko [[NotSoAboveItAll first slurps down the food Hongo made for her while keeping an eye on the approaching townsfolk]].

[[InstantlyProvenWrong Cue her opening the door to the sight of two government men waiting inside.]] Apparently, Ruriko was thinking, "no one ''from SHOCKER'' could possibly find them".

** Although the amusement belies some mild MindScrew, considering that she did this with at least four different cameras in four different locations, all ''at the same time.'' And somehow, Koumori Aug, seeing this security feed, is only annoyed.

** One can't help but notice that this scene echoes a similar scene from ''Film/ShinGodzilla'', when Yaguchi was told to change his shirt.

** Though this might hit close to home for those who are as socially awkward as Hongo is…

* On the way to Ruriko's safehouse, Ruriko chides Takeshi for being wasteful with his prana while fighting, meaning she was conscious during the fight between him and Kumo Aug for longer than indicated. The camera then cuts to Takeshi and Ruriko walking down the road...as [[CoolBike the Cyclone]] simply [[FunnyBackgroundEvent follows behind them on its own]], with Takeshi's helmet hanging off on of the handlebars! There's no acknowledgement of this from either Hongo or Ruriko, which just adds to it.

* We get a scene of Scorpion Aug and her minions tearing through a number of RedShirts while Scorpion laughs maniacally. Then reinforcements for the army show up and gun down her minions. Scorpion [[GigglingVillain keeps laughing]]... [[AntiClimaxBoss and gets gunned down at the end of her scene]]. She never even meets or fights Hongo!

Funny moments from ''Shin Kamen Rider''.

** The above scene also has the normally stoic and serious Ruriko complaining about their new hideout’s lack of a shower and clean clothes, much like a normal young woman would. It’s such a departure from her normal behavior, one can’t help but laugh.

--->'''Ichimonji''': I guess you do have a plan against him do you?
--->'''Takeshi''': I do.
--->'''Ichimonji''': ''[exasperated]'' Why didn't you say anything then!? Next time mention that before we start.

* Hideaki Anno's love for the source material is well-known. The film uses a number of old-school techniques that are far more common on classic television. A viewer who comes without that same enthusiasm might find some of the cuts and scene composition unintentionally hilarious.

* On the way to Ruriko's safehouse, Ruriko chides Takeshi for being wasteful with his prana while fighting. The camera then cuts to Takeshi and Ruriko walking down the road...as [[CoolBike the Cyclone]] simply [[FunnyBackgroundEvent follows behind them on its own]], with Takeshi's helmet hanging off on of the handlebars!
