I'd hate to derail this into becoming the "Best Heisei Kamen Rider
Costume
" thread, but CycloneJoker really is the bomb. There's an elegance to how much it communicates while being
extremely
light on detail compared to a lot of other shows before and after that I don't think has ever quite been matched:
- The green and black color scheme was a powerful mission statement at the time that I don't think can be understated. Around half of the Heisei Riders up to that point were primarily red, and
none
of them had ever done such a heavy homage to the OG show like that before. Double even had a scarf! So on top of being stylish, it's telling you in the clearest possible way that this is the back-to-basics Rider show.
- Splitting the suit clean down the middle. Beautiful.
The
way to show that this is two guys put together, and just plain striking to boot. There's no confusing him for any other Rider, and considering Build exists now, that's really saying something.
- The relatively scarce amount of detail that
is
on the suit consists entirely of lines that all form the letter W. Talk about staying on-brand!
- Lastly, and I think this one is important: it'd be extremely easy for a child to draw and have be recognizable. This is a fairly abstract way to say the design is good, but for the hero of a children's show, I swear, getting this right matters.
