Um this is a weird question but I have to know. I heard twice that Blade's actor was in a gay porno, is this true?

I dunno if it was twice but yeah, he was. Which is funny as they keep bringing the actor back for video games and cameos if he's available

To fair, Sentai's had several female actor who were in porn first before joining a show as a villain. I think the main reason this isn't more common with males is because of how rare male porn actors are compared to a female ones.

I think it's a cultural thing. I highly doubt someone in the porn industry can be a Power Ranger or something in the US, it's just seen as work in Japan. See Ryuko Matoi and Yang Xiao Ling's Japanese VA. She was a porn star too apparently. And Akiko's actress had sent nudes on the internet a few years before she got in W iirc

It is common for people in Japan to be in porn/hentai to be in other main stream media. Voice actors that have been in Toku superhero shows like Tomohiro Nishimura, Tomokazu Sugita, etc, have done voice work for Hentai.

Update I came up with better ideas, Set the kamen rider movie in the 50s so Hongo would've grown up under imperialist Japan in the 30s and 40s. The second film would be kamen rider vs Skull man which would end in Takashi being put out of commission and a naive ichimonji taking his place. He gets a film then V3 in the 70s then finally black at the turn of the century. Thru out this there would be various other toku things going on.

I have an idea for a show series:
Kamen rider faiz, but written by someone who isn't a talentless hack
Kamen rider kiva, but written by someone who doesn't lack 95% of his brain
Kamen rider ghost, but with an actual plot and actors
Kamen rider wizard, but without shunpei and that woman who is supposed to be plot important

I think tohei would make more money than dregging up showa series if they just blacklisted inoue.

I personally would rather just put inoue in the same room as kamen rider ouja and lock the door, come back in a week and have a janitor clean the mess up.

As much as we hate some of his choices in storytelling, it seems that the reason Inoue was used a lot back when he was all over Kamen Rider was because he already had and probably still has a good rep for being professional and getting the job done. One of his main specialty is that he has a mercenary mindset with his craft, meaning the result may not be satisfactory but he will help wrap things up. So even if his stuff is considered not good by us industry still loves him because he pulled through for them.

Great example of this? Hibiki. Takatera of Kuuga and Hibiki fame got booted during Hibiki for being the auteur he is and Inoue helped wrap things up. Show sucked after he got involved such as character inconsistencies, but try to look at it from Toei's side for a moment. I am a fan of Takatera's run of Hibiki, but I can imagine how hard it would have been for Toei as Takatera's methods required heavy budget spending. And no matter how beautiful it looked Hibiki's toy sales did not make back a lot too if I recall so he had to get booted. So Takatera is out. What does Toei do? Hire someone who can get the job done. It all boils down to that sadly.

But again, look on the bright side, at least it was not Yonemura. :lolol

I'd have happily taken Yonemura instead. It wouldn't have been much better, but Hibiki was before Kabuto, Decade, and all the Superhero Taisen movies. It would feel much more fresh than more Inoue. Yonemura on Hibiki wouldn't have just felt like Diet Faiz and I can guarantee you Kiriya would have never happened.

Yonemura I would not categorize as a bad writer cause apparently he does good work on some of the anime he has worked on such as PreCure I heard and kudos to him for finding a gig where he is more appreciated. He's just not great with Kamen Rider that's all. Personally I wish Kobayashi would have taken over but I can only imagine how desperate Toei must have been with Hibiki if they were to bring on Inoue.

He was still their go-to guy at that point. He'd done Agito and Faiz, did significant work on Ryuki, and was writing all of the movies. It wasn't until after Kiva that he dropped out of favor.

How do you picture a movie rider in Build? I’d go for the Evol Driver, someone who's like Cross-Z.

Obviously Build vs Evol and Cross-Z vs ?

Probably an antithesis version of Build. Maybe a Takumi clone being Evil Build or something of that nature.

So it's just Saban that can't use Kamen Rider right?

Eeeeyup. Hence why Dragon Knight was from someone else

Would KR Build be a better adaptation?

So that means Hasbro could when they have Power Rangers, that might be able to use Kamen Rider Ex-Aid for VR Troopers.

Why would anyone want that? I rather if they just leave it alone than taking another series and slapping another title on to it (Taking a Kamen Rider show and making it as a VR Troopers show).

Yes but I'd rather they not use the VR Troopers brand
Can't say until we get an adaptation

Well I said VR Troopers because of the fact that SCG Power Rangers made trademarks on VR Troopers and Beetleborgs last year, so i'm only guess this but what if when Hasbro buys all of Power Rangers which could count what ever is owned by SCG Power Rangers.

Something tells me that they really only bought the toy rights for Power Rangers and as cool as it would be to get an American adaptation of Kamen Rider again I don't think it will happen. Not saying it can't happen just that it seems unlikely given the history Toei has had with those.

Hasbro will most likely buy all of Power Rangers when the time is right, if they didn't want to buy all of Power Rangers then it wouldn't say that they could in the deal announcement.

Which season had the best collectible item? Pick only from out of the 10 please, thank you very much.

Rider Cards from Decade

Gaia Memories from W

OOO Medals from OOO

Astro Switches from Fourze

Wizard Rings from Wizard

Lock Seeds from Gaim

Shift Cars from Drive

Eyecons from Ghost

Gashats from Ex-Aid

Full Bottles from Build

Aww, man that's hard. I really appreciate the shift cars for basically having a personality of their own, but I'm super into the Wizard rings as well....

I think the Shift cars might be more fun for the target audience to collect because they had a very good presentation on the show without being too on the nose overall. Sorry, pretty rings ;_;

Medals. I loved the medals~

I guess I like the Build bottles.

But the Bottles and Gaia Memories are the only items I have.

Have to admit I want the pink DoReMeFa Poppy Version Gashat though. (Poppy is awesome), which means I'd need to get the belt.

The Decade and Kabuto belts have some appeal as well.

Yeah, they had a very Hot Wheels quality to them and I liked them so much because of that. Personally I love Dream Vegas and Deco Traveller from the shift cars. Deco Traveller gets bonus points because it is a dekotora truck.

*For those wondering what the heck a dekotora is, BEHOLD! :lolol

I loved Vegas and Dekotora too! Also I'll never forget that one scene where Shinnosuke was lying in the grass and having a chat with Burning Solar. Solar sounded like the adults in the Peanuts cartoons xD

So of those collectibles Based on pure play value alone, I'd have to say the Gaia Memories take the cake. The rest are cool and all (I'm eagerly awaiting my Build Driver + Stuff to get here so I can experience full bottles.) But the Memories just seem to be quite a bit better to me and come on who hasn't imagined using a USB as a henshin device before as a kid.

What gaming companies would you have Genm Corporation collaborate with?

The memories also had some very good presentation in the show, especially the ones the villlains used. I really liked how they could basically just insert them into their skin to obtain their powers.

This question popped into my skull last night, and I can't let it go until I get some feedback here:

So Iron Man's new Infinity War armor is based off the bleeding edge technology from the comics. It has the ability to replicate any feature/signature skill from all of his previous armors- including stealth mode and the strength of Hulkbuster- all controlled and manipulated supposedly from his mind. Basically in short: He can turn his armor into anything he wants.

So I'm sitting here thinking: If Tony Stark got the specs to Kamen Rider Kabuto, Kamen Rider 555, or even Decade's gear: Could he feed the specs into his suit and replicate their powers?

What if Iron Man could create his own version of Clock Up or Start Up if he stole the specs from them? Do you think he could do that?

Well those are all man made Rider systems so if Tony Stark appeared in the KR worlds he'd probably be able to pull it off, though it'd be redundant to have both as Clock Up doesn't seem to have the limitations as Start Up

Right
 

Right, I was just saying either one.

But I figured he'd be able to- because you're right, they are man made systems.

And when he fought Ivan Vanko in Iron Man 2, on the race track, his suit automatically locked onto Ivan's personally built Arch reactor, and basically analysed it piece by piece- so Tony could see it inside and out- specs and all.

I figured if he came across Kabuto or 555, especially with his Bleeding Edge armor, he could probably scan their suits and POOF! Instant personal clock up gadget for Iron Man. ^_^

Even better: Regular Kabuto and 555 can't fly, but IM pretty much always can- so if he could replicate Clock Up while flying....I don't see how he could ever fail- honestly.

"SHOOT A BUNCH OF MISSILES AT HIM!!!" (10 helicopters unload missiles at him)

Aaaaaand CLOCK UP.....now he just has to float there and shoot them all, or turn them around and end Clock Up. LOL

Oddly enough I feel he'd opt for Build's stuff to copy. Y'know, a scientist made all that junk after all

Even better
 

I haven't watched Build, so I'm not sure about his speed powers- does he have a power equal to Clock Up?

Even better: Imagine if he copied Kamen Rider Chronos's time stopping power...

Build's recently shown Super Speed as a part of his Overflow state/form. Though Tony wouldn't risk that as Build needed help to overcome the Overflow state

I'd like to build a speed-based team
 

I'd like to build a speed-based team of super heroes- here's who I'm looking at:

1) Kamen Rider Kabuto
2) Go Buster Red
3) The Flash
4) Bleeding Edge Iron Man replicating Clock Up
5) Not sure who #5 should be yet....

1 from Kamen Rider
1 from Super Sentai
1 from DC
1 from Marvel
1 from....I dunno yet

They need to be red I assume? Cause idk, Sonic could work otherwise.
Also yeah Build is speed based, remembered they made this
https://78.media.tumblr.com/92855751...8h0o1_1280.jpg

Well, I'd prefer they be red- so they look coordinated together.

I also need them to either exist already as SH Figuarts or some form of action figure- or currently in development for future release as action figures- because I'd like to purchase and display them in my living room.

Plus I've already chosen 1 from KR, SS, DC, and Marvel- so I'm guessing #5 would have to come from a video game, anime show, manga series, or somewhere else.
