It keeps the dark and mysterious atmosphere of those early episodes all throughout its run.
So, here's the thing, right? Y'all are trying to tell me that after Episode 6 there's a big tonal shift where it becomes goofy or like every other Showa Rider or something, and that before that Black was much more unique and dark and mysterious in tone. And I don't doubt that for a second! I'm sure I'm going to notice some big drastic change at KRB No. 7, and that I'm going to miss these days where Black took itself much more seriously.
But I just watched an episode where Golgom thinks that hypnotising one (1) rural Japanese village into being assholes will
spark international war.
I... I think I LOVE these antagonists. Like you'll notice that at some point here my screenshots changed from being about loving the spirit of Kamen Rider to just being this same exact place with the same three exact people,
because every scene with them is a joy.
They're just a perfect three-man band! Old Wrinkly to the left proclaims every two seconds why Golgom is so cool and better and super-duper awesome and why their plans are definitely going to work on that stupid stinky humanity this time; Discount Dr. Doom growls and calls everything worthless, and then Girl General Shadow either hangs back and says nothing out of being so tired of them or lightly-not-so-lightly reminds them,
hey, we kind of have a plot, Black Sun our intended leader is still out there trying to stop us we should do something about that.
Like no offence to the main cast, they're... sweet enough! Serviceable, general Showa Rider stuff. Kotaro acts like every single I-will-defend-humanity-remember-to-eat-your-veggies-kids Showa Rider ever but he's got that sweet backstory and implied turmoil going on with him. But the three stooges of Golgom are on a whole other level and I'm going to be excited for every scene they're in!
