Fifty years ago, mysterious artifacts known as VStamps were discovered. Now, a group known as the Deadmans Cult seeks to revive their ancient master with these strange powers. And a young man named Ikki Igarashi makes a startling change...

The story begins in 1971, just as Kamen Rider did. And man, that 50th Anniversary intro is pretty awesome. Like a Japanese Marvel Studios intro.
Thanks random American dude for freeing the monsters of this setting. The Deadman's seem to collect a bunch of people unsatisfied with society or the world and telling them they can make it better through living through sin and excess. Also, Aguilera is pretty hot. Nice to have a female lead villain. Fenix has an airship? Wow. A Rider with a full family unit! Wow. Of course it gets dangerous when his mom gets attacked. A bathhouse a perfect excuse to show off more male skin for the moms in the audience. Did Ikki just luck into seeing Vice or is there something special there? So Ikki wasn't intended to be a Kamen Rider, his brother Daiji was. He just couldn't handle the pressure. Enough motivation to become a second Rider? I can totally see those Fenix soldiers becoming Riotrooper esque characters if Fenix becomes antagonists. I feel like the T-Rex Deadman looked better than the Elephant Deadman. It was hard to take him seriously with that trunk. Although kind of neat to see the monster the base form is based after appear in the first episode. Ikki's sister can fight. Female Rider potential? Just so you know Vice is still a demon, he was about to attack Ikki's mom before he used the belt to control him. At least there were no fart jokes in the episode. "Hey! Hey! Hey!" way to hype up a Henshin. Way to emphasize your protagonists have super strength with some of those moves and smashing through debris and walls. And set to the Opening! So their Rider Kicks are kicking the stamp straight into the enemy. Does it count as a Double Rider Kick if they're using it at the same time but against different opponents? So it looks like the next form is the Eagle Embryo with W? Not the Megalodon/Decade form? Last edited by Frontier; 09-04-2021 at 07:32 PM.. |

First thing that came to mind with the first scene was the Kuuga homage
Not much to say without subs so far. George is funny as expected. Seems like Daiji was intended to be the KR (so Fenix must know he has a devil inside him or in his house at least) the final double kick was cool Last edited by Omnikaiser; 09-05-2021 at 01:05 AM.. |

First episode was ok worried Vice is gonna be annoying but yeah (Once again Ikki is the type of protagonist I like down to Earth and I like how he doesn't magically get the urge to help people when the belt/henshin gear rightaway I'd kind of like it when the hero starts off with more personal motivations that EVENTUALLY become save the world)

The dad is a youtuber, mom runs the bathhouse, baby bro is a soldier, sister is a karate kid. Interesting combination.

For a second, I thought it was the Nursedessei from Ultraman Trigger.

The Deadman Cult has got to be the funkiest cult I've ever seen.

A solid start, for sure. Much more of a cohesive start compared to Saber.
Lemme keep it short since I'm a bit busy: -1971 really gotta make that 50 years theme going -I love that it starts with the bath house already with people so we can get started on the regulars -Vice showing up kinda a bit too soon I feel -I can understand why they chose Kimura for Vice, that's all I got to say. -Gonna love to see the development for Hyuga as a secondary rider, him being the younger compared to Ikki makes it all the better. -Aguilera and her little cult are great, I love Julio's energy, can I please join? Aguilera's cute, too. No touching guys, she's engaged to Gifu-sama already -I love that Ikki brought the regulars to the ceremony, gives that belongingness feeling much like Fuuto. -Nawata's back! Great to see him back in the leading role, but it seems it's Eitoku who's carrying the whole suit acting deal. He is great. I need to Asai back, though. -George is COOL, I love him already, I want him to be a rider, I want him to have more screentime, I want to learn more about him and his backstory with his father, I want this I want that! -Seems as though Episode 0 is actually 3.5 as it probably takes place in episode 3 for Megalodon, as episode 2 is for the Eagle form. -Aaaaaaand everyone knows he's Revice now, great, good job Ikki. Also, still weird that he already knows how to fight. But I can maybe make an excuse since his brother is FENIX captain and his sister is learning Karate. -Also, Yodonna's actor seems to be pining for Aguilera much like Angela Mei did for Magine.

I'm pleasantly surprised by this first episode I must say. The trailers didn't sit well with me and Saber left me fatigued as far as Rider goes (I haven’t even finished it yet), bit I decided to check this out and I'm glad I did. It very much reminds me of some of my favorite Heisei shows as far as the start goes, I like the characters and setting so far and the action was great.
All in all a very nice start for this show, I liked it. |
