Kamen Rider: General Thread

Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever - Writer & Director Announced

So another returning actor has been revealed and it's a bit left field: Takushi Tanaka / Ohsugi from Fourze. Also 5 and 6 are Fourze and Faiz chapter, which is a wild combination. Possibly means no Gentaro, which is a bit of a bummer but getting everyone would have been an amazing feat.

I believe Yuki's actress made it clear she's never coming back. Not sure of the full story, but I saw something about a cult mentioned so maybe I don't want to know.

Was the return of Gentaro's actor in Hesei final a one shot deal? I assumed they could get him back now if they needed him and he was available.

He could just be filming something else

x2

Yuuki/Yuki's actress joined a cult awhile back, yes. I know she quit acting for awhile but came back. No clue if she'd reprise her role but since she did join a cult I'm not even sure Toei would want her back.

Yeah, she joined Happy Science a while ago.

In any case, Zi-O 03 is out, guys. Gonna watch it tomorrow, probably.

Zi-O Episode 3:

Geiz, slave to the fashions of 2068. Their spying has such a weird mix of tension and comedy but I personally think it's good.

So the Time Jackers' goal is just get literally anyone but Sougo to become the world overlord which. okay fair enough

The Game Boy Advance analog still in vogue in 2016 to now... wow Ex-Aid must be wild...

Sougo may be a dumbass but at least he has the right approach to Woz.

I guess from Geiz's talk on the Ride Watches that Ghost and Drive are already retconned but I haven't watched 3.5 so I might be wrong.

This buildup for Emu was incredible in just how much they wanted you to be hyped up for seeing him and the payoff being oh noes he wants to fight is just. amazingly lame.

3

Been a while since we've had a school, most Riders are too old for that

And of course Geiz still wears the silly parts of his costume

Did Genm actually release any games other than Mighty Action X?

I actually quite like Another Ex-Aid's design; the name looked quite tacked-on on Another Build but putting it on the Rider Gauge works a lot better

I don't trust this series enough but there's actually a lot of potential; you can see how wanting to help people could get corrupted into wanting to be in control

Why is Hiiro's entourage that big? Is he staffing an entire ward?

You were so close to the Konami code!

I like that Another Ex-Aid's attacks reuse some of the game graphics but would it have killed them to scatter some more blocks around?

Drive armour can just shoot Shift Cars; that's neat. And the massive shoulder gimmick actually looks quite like Type Tridoron here.

3.5

3.5 was quite funny, with Geiz outright calling out the other two for not paying attention

In-universe spoiler: At some point Riders from across the continuum will fight each other to determine the new king.

The forth wall is well and truly dead

We don't know where Geiz got Drive and Ghost from yet. However, the toy catalog lists Zi-O Ghost in October, so we may get something then, though it's a busy month; Zi-O Fourze, Geiz Ex-Aid and Geiz Gemn too. No Zi-O Drive though.

I agree there was a large amount of build up to Emu just picking a fight. He seems...more serious too.

IIRC she also publicly stated how much she hated conditions on set. So not likely at all.

Watched 3.5, destroying Toei does seem like the best move to make long-term.

Kamen Rider 2 punches off a plane wing: https://imgur.com/a/iTPumce

That plane was full of Shocker agents...right?

Otherwise, what the hell Ni-gou?

A Nazi Shocker Agent, A Frog Monster and Shocker Mooks, yes.

Thank god.

Alright, good work Ni-gou.

Though lets be honest: if that had been Ichigou, he'd have already been on the plane somehow...despite simultaneously chasing it from the ground.

That's how far he plans ahead.

Can't believe Alain brought the fucking takoyaki with him and actually finished eating it during his big speech

You don't waste good food.

So the Ryuki ridewatch is out and it has an image of the armour◊, though it's just a CG render.

Well now, looks like it's officially Aura◊. EDIT: They use Ora here. Hah, they can't keep a perfect record again.

Also episode summaries of 5 and 6 really shows that they can't get Fourze's actor back. Which is a shame, but to remedy it they seem to be gluing it with Faiz.

I was under the impression that it would be "Hora" (read: "Óra") as in the Portuguese for "hour". They even made a comment about Brazillian beans for breakfast in the episode.

I believe at least one group subbed it as Hora. Under normal conditions I'd say official use is confirmation but they screw up romanising so often I don't know at this point.

I know Overtime used Aura in the preview for episode 3 but Hora in the actual episode itself. I tend to use whatever translation Overtime uses personally though if it's a series they haven't done I default to whatever the rest of the fandom uses.

I mean, it's probably better if the fandom reaches a consensus. We don't want another Ornac.

So, I wonder how the Time Jackers will fair with Den-O and other Time Travelling Riders?

Hell, even though he's not a time traveller, I wonder if they'll be able to erase Decade as easily. He was kinda Oma Zi-O before there was an Oma Zi-O.

Maybe they have to get rid of the other Riders before Decade? Though his watch's scheduled for December so that's probably need some to happen off-screen.
