The Kamen Rider series now spans over 45 years and 27 series, and with every new one comes a slew of new designs and ideas and little things, here and there and everywhere. Sometimes there's something, part of a design or a reference you don't get, just staring you right in the face for ages, but you don't realize until later. Maybe it's some obscure cultural reference you only discover through chance.
Maybe it's something really dumb and then you feel dumb for not noticing before.
This is a thread to talk about those things.
(There was a thread like this in a certain forum I frequented based on a long and complicated story with lots of little details, and I found it pretty useful. Maybe it won't be as useful for Kamen Rider. I dunno. But I sure know I wish a thread like this had existed on several occasions, because wow do I have a lot of these. So I'm making one)
To start off with, here are some of my best worst ones:
-Ryuki has a dragon on his helmet. I never noticed Ryuki had a dragon on his helmet until like, a month or two ago. And I watched Ryuki in 2014! I mean, obviously he has a dragon on top of his head, I just never noticed it continued to the brow, that that was a nose and the gold stuff was the whiskers. I'm telling you, Ryuki's design makes a lot more sense when you're not being super dense like I was.
-Also would you believe I didn't make the connection that the Drag in Dragredder/Dragblacker stood for dragon until like...embarrassingly late? Drag is an actual English word, so I thought it was just some Engrish. I mean, ok, it's still pretty Engrishy, I just didn't give it any thought. But man: me and the dragons in Ryuki just don't get along.
Like I said: super dumb, I felt dumb, I still feel dumb. Dumb.
-Kuuga is Kuuga because he's a kuwaga...
There are definitely others, but I can't remember what they were at the moment.
Anyway, share your own, if applicable!
