can I say my main problem with Drive is not the plot, or the characters, it's the lackadaisical grip they seem to have when they wanna make it a mystery.
like, my god, I got so pissed off the more I saw what they considered good mysteries in the show. they don't explain anything, and sometimes the viewer isn't even allowed to know what clues ARE. I mean, it doesn't even seem to want to follow Knox's commandments on what makes a good mystery. Knox's "Ten Commandments" (or "Decalogue") are as follows: The criminal must be mentioned in the early part of the story, but must not be anyone whose thoughts the reader has been allowed to know. All supernatural or preternatural agencies are ruled out as a matter of course. Not more than one secret room or passage is allowable. No hitherto undiscovered poisons may be used, nor any appliance which will need a long scientific explanation at the end. No Chinaman must figure in the story. No accident must ever help the detective, nor must he ever have an unaccountable intuition which proves to be right. The detective himself must not commit the crime. The detective is bound to declare any clues which he may discover. The "sidekick" of the detective, the Watson, must not conceal from the reader any thoughts which pass through his mind: his intelligence must be slightly, but very slightly, below that of the average reader. Twin brothers, and doubles generally, must not appear unless we have been duly prepared for them. and it doesn't have to follow all of them. I know it can't follow the second rule for obvious reasons. but, I know what made me quit the show. it wasn't Mach's personality. it was the fact that they showed the roidmude was left handed, but shinnosuke only fought it once, and the guy suspected to be a roidmude only fired a gun once. like, not even in a way where the viewer could know it was a clue. I just got so sick of it. and it's not even specifically that. that instance was just the last straw. btw, when Knox says "chinaman" he's referring to a fu manchu character. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fu_Manchu not an actual chinese person.

Here's 6 suspect who could be Dark Drive's identity.
Krim Steinbelt: He was standing along with Dark Drive! So he's not Dark Drive. Eiji Tomari: It's dumb idea! How Eiji is Dark Drive when Eiji is being attacked by Eiji. And 2 Eiji is stupid idea because it would make a big plothole. Shinji Koba: While he did want a manhunt to Shinnosuke, I feel that him as Dark Drive wouldn't be shock to Shinnosuke as he rarely know that man. Chase and Gou: The 2 Biker Rider! Some people think Krim brainwashed one of them as Dark Drive but if Dark Drive was Chase or Gou, He wouldn't have Dark Drive attacking his past self so Dark Drive wouldn't be exist. That's leave me 1 suspect who could Dark Drive's identity. It's Kiriko! Hold on! Hold on! Why Kiriko as Dark Drive's identity is very good idea. While Krim deemed her as unsuitable for Drive since she's too strong to handle it but Evil Krim found the way of her becoming a kamen rider she wanted to be. Her as Dark Drive's identity will be super shock to Shinnosuke because he fighting a woman of his love. Surprise Future have 1 big moment when Shinnosuke and Kiriko hug each other which they never hug each other in previous episode. I feel having Eiji as Dark Drive while attacking other Eiji is big cop out. How Krim brainwashed Eiji when there's another Eiji, Did he went to the future or what?! I am so confusing! I hate confusing storyline! |

But it is not essential to understand what they are saying, you can get what they do and what they're after simply by watching them do things. Kuuga & the police ask themselves the same questions as you do, that's the idea. Some DVD-release shave subbed their language in Japanese from what I know, but it wasn’t intended to be that way. No, they will (or already have by this point) learn Japanese and speak it further into the show. But they rarely do, for a reason which will be explained later on.

What would be the next themes for Kamen Rider to use someday in the future? For me...
- dinosaurs (Zyuranger, Abaranger & Kyoryuger - ninjas (since Kakuranger, Hurricanger & Ninninger) - martial arts (since Maskman, Dairanger & Gekiranger) - treasure hunters (since Boukenger) |
