Probably one of my favorite bits of fridge logic in ZI-O.
Another Riders are corrupt versions of the Main Rider. Another Agito is a failed Agito Seed, in essence, a Seed that has become corrupted. Aka, he is a corrupted Agito. Just like an Another Rider. And the ability to turn others into it just ties in wonderfully with Agito's world-building that Agito is the next step in human evolution. |

Toei has been uploading Kuuga episodes on their YouTube channel to celebrate the 20th anniversary, and, when they aren't region-blocked anyway, I've occasionally found it fun to pop in and browse the comments, having learned from watching so much Ultraman on that site that the Japanese commenters are often shockingly well-informed and thoughtful.
They recently posted episodes 25 and 26, the really really great two-parter where Yuusuke cheers up Hiraku, a kid who cut class to mope about his uncertain future. They're some of the most definitive episodes of the series, and there were two particular observations I saw that blew my mind so much I just had to share them. One is that in 25, when Hiraku is going to buy a train ticket, he hesitates on whether or not to push the button for a child ticket, subtly reflecting the confusion he feels about his own identity. The other might actually be the single most Yuusuke thing Yuusuke ever did. When he goes to sit down on a staircase for a chat with Hiraku in the climax of 26, he initially sits on the step Hiraku is on. But then after a second of thinking, he moves down exactly one step. Why does he do this? Because it puts him at eye-level with Hiraku. The guy is so considerate he goes out of his way to readjust his seating position to avoid literally talking down to a child. Absolutely amazing how deliberate and purposeful such a small detail like this can be. Did Arakawa write that in the script? Is Ishida's blocking just that good? Maybe Odagiri even adlibbed it himself? Not a clue, but I know I have even more respect for these episodes now than I already did.

F***ing right? I swear I'm still going to be finding out new things like this about Kuuga episodes decades from now.

It's stuff like this why Kuuga is and always will be my all-time favorite tokusatsu series.

I see there are more ppl who don't think oo is trash. Also, good job Toei, shilling your other hyper successful franchises with an in-universe cameo in another hyper succesful franchise. Clever. Ore Wa Gundam!!!! Last edited by KaiserBlue; 12-05-2020 at 07:56 PM.. |
