Kamen Rider Metsuboujinrai and ZAIA revealed
Images of Kamen Rider MBJR and ZAIA just got put out. The former looks... interesting? BUT HOLY FUCK, Kamen Rider ZAIA looks amazing! SHF for both when?

Wait, is that the Hell Rising Hopper key in the Thousandriver? Interesting!
|
No I think it's just a Amazing Caucasus key that's repainted into red.
|
Well, shit, I'm repainting my RKF Thouser. Thouser has always had a fucking incredible design - they could not have picked a better suit to recolor, to be honest.
|
um.... the black Thouser looks plain. Yawn
|
So as someone who is almost always down for a good black and white repaint...yeah ZAIA looks super bland. Not bad, it's a good suit, in my favorite color scheme...but so bland.
Metsuboujinrai however looks awesome. |
The black hazard, ark, and even saikou shadow is overdone with black. I feel like I'm missing one.
|
I find both a bit... lacking. Not bad, but just... underwhelming honestly.
Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai doesn't really look like a fusion of all 4 Metsubo Riders, but just a second Horobi upgrade and that's a bit... disappointing. Also don't like the helmet, but that's not that big of a deal. Kamen Rider Zaia just looks dull though. And that's a feat for me because I liked Thouser's design the most in the show. It all just kinda blends together. Needed probably a bit more white to break up the black. I don't hate it, it's just... there. |

Been thinking it over and... ZAIA himself is at least a nice repaint, but I don't recall the last time I was ever so intensely disappointed in a suit as KR MBJR here. The mantle/chest area is pretty great, but the head is the most generic Kamen Rider helmet since the ZECTroopers and the rest of him is just Horobi. After the heights of Cross-ZBuild and Zi-O Trinity it's such a letdown to get a fusion form this bad; I would never have guessed it was supposed to be the four combined if you hadn't told me.
|
So am I the only one realizing Zaia's color scheme is similar to the Zaia Spec?
|
I mean... ZAIA isn't a bad suit, it's just that everything it does, some other suit already did better, mostly Ark-Zero, the original Thouser, Saikou Shadow, Build's Hazard forms, and Chronus.
MBJR I want to like, I really do, and the sad part is the things that make me dislike it are really unimportant details. I wish the eyes were a different color to stand out from the helmet more, I don't understand why they put red on the shoulders but nowhere else, and the lack of white trim on the thigh armor just screams "look! It's a re-use of Horobi's suit!" If just those three things were fixed, I would love the design (even if it still wouldn't really look like a combination of all four members), but as it is... meh. It's decent. |
So when do we get Kamen Rider Hiden? :lolol
|
Gotta say, these are both pretty underwhelming. Probably my least favorite Zero-One base forms
|
Yeah, I don't wanna dog-pile on these things, but both of them look really underwhelming to me, even for v-cinema suits.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personally, I would've just tried the opposite strategy for the suits:

Off-topic, but is anyone else noticing that little square silver bit of the ZAIA Spec with the red crossing over it resembles Ark-One's chest?

The Ark-One key also has an identical chip on it: https://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/zero-one/...rk_one_map.png The asahi site calls it the "Ark Spec," and its stated purpose is to connect with the user of the Ark-One system. So it kind of brings up the question of whether the chip was originally Ark technology Gai used in the Spec, or if the chip is Zaia technology that Azu put in the key for some reason. The former seems a little more likely to me, since the Specs always had that vulnerability that allowed Naki to control them. |

Meh, I don’t really like either of them.
But I think the helmet and shoulder pieces on Metsuboujinrai are nice, it just doesn't mix well with the rest of the suit IMO. |
When the five horns cross, the Dark Black Soldier, ZAIA, is born!
Presented by ZAIA. |
I like both of these.
MetsuBoJinRai I like, but I think I would like it more if it did more differently. Give the suit more aspects of the other three members, maybe a less Horobi color scheme, or at least use everyone's built-in weapons. As for ZAIA, while I understand the issues people might be having with the suit, it just makes so much sense to me. Of course Kamen Rider ZAIA would use the thousandriver with new keys. Why didn't I see that coming? And the Ark Black color scheme works really well with the Thouser parts, at least for me. Honestly, the biggest problem I have with any of this is how long I'm going to have to wait to watch it. |
Zaia's repainted Thousand Driver mean every Driver comes in at least two colours now, right?

And I don't think they repainted the Ark-Driver (yet)? |
It could be the red keys throwing off my eyes, tbf. That and the expectation of 01 at this point to just make it a new belt.
|
Yeah it's definitely new keys. The Thousandriver is still as golden as ever.
|
I blame COVID for making this mess!
|
from afar...the MBJR driver looks like Double's when opened.
|
You're missing black Para-DX from Ex-Aid Another Ending trilogy

Not feeling that Thouser repaint design that is Kamen Rider Zaia because it's too plain looking and comes across as unfinished especially when compared to the normal Thouser design which is both an awesome design and color scheme.
As for kamen rider metsuboujinrai can we please get away from using Horobi's suit and color as the base since we already had it for Ark-Scorpion which was lazy looking even for a last-minute design. i don't mind the helmet design and like the chest area but if this is suppose to be a fusion of all 4 members then they failed to capture it in the design imo. While having an all black scheme to designate dark riders such as black gaim, metal build, para-dx, etc I wish they'd put more effort into them although I actually like metal build lol |

Are you saying that you believe covid is responsible for the suits being ugly?
|
What will Kamen Rider Zaia's Progrisekeys be?
|
We got a bunch of scans recently, I'm on mobile so I can't post em easily. But we get a closer look at ZAIA. And the Raiders seem to be back.
