Kamen Rider Drive Episode 11 "Who Can Prevent The Dark Eve?" Discussion Thread
 

The Roimude's have declared War on Christmas! Can Shinnosuke & Kiriko stop them?!

Although I never saw the resemblance to Eiji... Maybe you all were more right than you thought. Chaser is indeed 000.

The TQG Episode really killed it for me. Sorry.
Either way, Great to get a tease of Mach and is it just me that felt the Volt Roymude case was a three-parter?

How did you get a picture of Mach?

You know that Gou have to name his Rider Name, He cannot being called "White Rider"

They already did that with Wiseman and Zangetsu

Toei's Kamen Rider Drive page.

Mind = Blown

I think the writers planned this for real!

Also the show is going to be in top gear - new rider, new enemy and DAMNIT CHASE WHY YOU 000 ?

This was an exciting episode, I loved seeing the mini appearance of Mach, and learning more about Chase too. Also I love the new Shift Cars too. Heart goes to the extreme I am really enjoying him as a villain too. I love so much about this show. I can't wait for Mach's debut next week.

Nice conclusion to this arc, although some of the investigation pacing was a bit rushed and the day for night scenes were hella obvious. The scene at the end with all the shift cars was really dumb, too; you're never going to convince me those are characters, Drive, please stop trying.

I'm curious to see what's up with the Roidmudes, though.

The producer states that Kamen Rider Drive is Kamen Rider meet Knight Rider, So get used to Shift Cars or Signal Bikes, they not going away until next year.

Heck! Producer also state that Mr. Belt is K.I.T.T. of Kamen Rider.

Belt kind of says that tridron is kind of his body, after the driver that is. So at this point I'm going with 001-Heart, 002-Brain and 003-Medic. I know it's unlikey but I wish we could get figures of the three basic Roidmud forms and of course 000, The face kind of gives of a Kikaider vibe (new version Kikaider not the classic)

Actually, Heart is 002 and brain is 003, you can see it in the Episode 0 special.

I absolutely loved this episode. For me by far the best one right now. Cant wait to see where we are gong from here.

I accept that they're here, I just wish the show would stop treating them like they're characters that the audience should care about. They aren't characters. They're toy cars that are very obviously being cheaply manipulated with strings. Drive already has enough problems with creating engaging characters that it doesn't need to waste time trying to get me emotionally invested in Dream Vegas being sad because Dimension Taxi got hurt.

Right, like you never use your Matchbox cars to represent characters in their own dramas. That's why the hot rod is secretly cheating on the Barbie dream mobile with the one that looks like the Mystery Machine with chipped paint. All while the secret garage under the couch gets found by the princess carriage crew.....

:rolleyes

Jokes aside, this episode was both good and bad. I really disliked the slapstick used since it was unnecessary, and I too would agree that the cars are possibly the worst use of background filler ever, and the magic mcguffin for every conceivable plot hole in the Drive story.

While the new Roid Medic is easy on the eyes, I could do without. Revealing Chase was good enough, although I still hold out hope that he's going to go the way of Meteor and join team Belt.

Next week looks like it's going to be a bit more fun. I love the use of the phrase Let's Henshin. But that's the Go-Buster fan in me.

Stop reading my diary. :mad:

See now, if the Shift Cars could transform into giant alien robots, THEN that'd get me emotionally invested. :lol

I liked this episode.

I found it interesting that they did a three episode set instead of two episodes since it breaks a bit of the two episode pattern by adding a third episode into and i hope this will be the case of having varied episode sets as opposed to this being the only exception.

Also hyped for Mach and more of what is going on with Chase.

This.

I cannot wait to see how Mach will spice things up with his more fun and carefree approach (from what we could see so far) and Chase is shaping up to be my favorite character in the show.

Chase is awesome I haven't liked a villain character like this as much as chase and maybe we might see a turn to the good side who knows.

Mach is also a bit goofier than I expected but it will provide an interesting contrast with Shinnosuke.

So basically what the deal with chase is that he is the technical first roimude in existence and he is the one that has more human qualities than all the other roimudes seeing as how he can actually feel remorse and other emotions that most roimudes can't feel. Except for heart who feels a somewhat sense of care and sadness towards other roimudes

This show has the Kikaider feel going for it in the right directions, I loved seeing the car vs spider fight. I WILL have to have a Chase Figuart with Chaser...and probably shell out too much money for Protodrive. It was also nice seeing a Rider Kick again for the finisher. I know this show is to sell toys, and each shift car has his own finisher with each form...but a nice back to basic kick to oblivion is a great thing lol.
