Hello :)

Out of those I recommend watching Ex-Aid. It got a lot of hate for its very unique suit-designs; but the show itself is very good. Great cast of characters and just all-around a fun time.

But to be honest I’d watch all of them eventually, aside from Ghost which I’d skip I enjoyed watching them all.

For now though, I think Ex-Aid is the best out of the ones you listed.

Fourze and Agito are big favourites of mine. If you love protagonists who are endlessly happy and friendly and stay that way despite all the shit they're put through, you'll love Shouichi and Gentaro.

Drive and Ex-Aid are both really, really good; Kiwami's already sung praises of the latter and Drive I feel has a nice balance between monster of the week and serialised plotting. It also has what I feel is one of the better endings a Rider series has had (barring the Ghost stuff).

Ghost itself, yeah, gotta agree it's not that great; there's a lot of stuff in it I like but there's way too many negatives to it for me to like. Hibiki I'm watching at the moment and I can tell you it's a wonderfully different first half, but once you pass that Episode 29 mark... Oh No.

Haven't watched Kuuga or Blade; heard good things about the former and phenomenally high praise for the latter.

Was I like the only one who tried to watch these shows in chronological order? (Well there were some I kinda got tired off midway and then never got back around to until much later)

I kind of tried that. Fourze was my first and I started watching Build while it was airing too; but after that I decided to go back to W and watch chronologically from that point on (with the exception of at first skipping Wizard; only to later watch it slowly with a friend). I also found time to chuck Amazon in there; I think between Gaim and Drive.

After I finished post-Decade that's when things got weird. Kiva, Kabuto, Den-O, Decade, Agito, Hibiki is quite the order :p After Hibiki though I plan to watch the remaining four in order.

No, that’s what I did back when I first got into Kamen Rider in ‘09. I watched the entire Heisenberg era in order from Agito onwards (Kuuga wasn’t subbed yet) specifically so I could really get the most out of Decade.

I started with Ryuki, after watching Decade as it aired, as Kuuga and Agito weren't subbed yet. Then I watched Faiz, but only got part way through Blade and Hibiki. They just didn't grab me after 10 or so episodes :/ then I watched Kabuto, Den-O and Kiva in order, whilst keeping up with Neo Hesei seasons as they were airing. Fourze didn't grab my attention either, and I gave up on Drive right as Tridoron form was unlocked. Just lost interest for some reason :/ Ghost bored me and I stuck with Ex-Aid for a while then got lost haha.

I've recently tried watching Kuuga but finding it very slow and that I'm not focusing on it as much as I should :/

You reckon I should try finish the Neo Heisei stuff first, or work through in Chronological order of the seasons I've missed?

I think Den-O, Double and OOOs are my top three favourite sesaons. What about you?

OOO is my absolute favourite, with Build and Den-O taking close runner-up places. Agito and Fourze come after that and then I just could not tell you an order lol

I'm the same with those three. I can't place them at all. I LOVED build. Was a really good show I felt :)

I had problems with the ending of the show and the direction the latter quarter or so took in general, but the rest of it was just so good that it pulls it into second place for me. Sento and Banjo's developing relationship in general was fantastic; easily two of my favourite Rider characters period

I agree actually. I wasn't disappointed by the ending, but it would have been better if we hadn't have had so many "final plans"

One thing that has bothered me recently with KR is the amount of forms the main rider ends up getting. I don't know why, but I prefer when they have a few forms that get stronger and level over time. Build himself had FAR too many forms

Oh, 100%. The more and more toys they have to sell the more frustrating the effects on the show gets.
My personal preference is W through Fourze; where they had two upgrades including the final. CycloneJoker, FangJoker, Xtreme; Tatoba, Tajador, Putotyra; Base States, Magnet States, Cosmic States. It allows for a much more natural flaw.
Of course, good writers can find ways around having to shove toy advertisements into their writing; but at some point it gets difficult.

Again I agree. W had amazing suits and forms for the two riders, as did OOOs. Wizard too, though I did miss the idea of a mid season super form for Wizard. The Dragon forms were cool, as was the Drago timer. But a form between Sargon and Infinity would have been good. Or more use of the All Dragon form.

One thing about OOOs that has always bothered me was the lack of use of the base form Rider Kick/finisher. We saw it used once and it didn't connect

Didn't know about this. Would be cool for OOO to be able to use some of these combos. I would especially love to see Venomous insects.

Also, does this chart imply that Kangaroo is a head medal? Because if so, goddamn, that medal is pulling triple duty :lol

Does you know of the CSM OOO driver?
Also some combos here have the head at the bottom, so really Yadokari should have been the head of yadokari-panda-kangaru, but they made it another spare torso

I know about it, but because I can't afford shit, I didn't really look into it :lol

And I know Kangaroo has been a torso and a leg piece, but since Panda (Another torso) is in it's line up, it had to be either the legs again, or a head, and considering it's track record... :lol

CSM OOO Driver went weirdly heavy. I don't think kangaroo or panda got full combos though. The art inserts have Takagaruba, Takatoragaru and Takapanba (all Tatoba variations)

I'd like to see a cowboy-themed KR.

Well, this wouldn't be an official combo, but ptera, panda, and kangaroo seem like a set that best mimic tatoba without having any medals from tatoba.

You don't need to buy it in order to enjoy the new Combo sounds ;)

Kamen rider super-x.

just realised that he text on this actually readable, and they switched the text on the gazelle and deer medals

The makamou ninja group from Hibiki reminds me some villains from the first lion man shows.

Considering only Secondary Riders, when did each one first appear in their respective series (excluding a teaser appearance in a Movie War special)?

To rephrase, what episode did each Secondary Rider first appear in? If it makes it easier, any answer can willfully forego a series with multiple Riders, such as Ryuki or Gaim.

Hikawa/G3 first appeared in episode 1 of Agito.

Ren/Knight first appeared in episode 1 of Ryuki.

Kaxia's first appearance was episode 10, but it's first full debut was ep. 11 and Kusaka's first transformation wasn't till ep.13 of Faiz.

Tachibana-san/Garren first appearance was episode 1 of Blade.

Ibuki appeared in episode 5 of Hibiki but didn't transform till ep. 7.

Kagami/Gatack first appeared in episode 22 of Kabuto but he was there since episode 1.

Yuto/Zeronos first appeared in episode 17 of Den-O but he didn't transform till episode 20.

Nago/Ixa first appeared in episode 3 of Kiva and he tranformed for first time during ep. 9.

Daiki/Diend first appeared in episode 10 of Decade.

Ryu/Accel first appeared in episode 19 of W.

Akira/Birth's first appearance was episode 16 of OOO.

Ryusei first appeared as Meteor in episode 16 of Fourze, but he didn't appear in civilian form till 17.

Kosuke/Beast's first appearance was episode 17 of Wizard.

Kaito was there since the beginning of Gaim but didn't transform till ep. 3.

Mach first appeared in episode 11 of Drive and Mach's civilian identity appeared in the episode after.

Makoto/Specter's civilian identity first appeared in ep. 3 of Ghost, his first Rider appearance was ep. 4, and first transformation was in ep. 5.

Hiro/Brave appeared in the first episode of Ex-Aid but he didn't transform till the second.

Banjo/Cross-Z first appeared in episode 1 of Build but he didn't transform till episode 11.

Geiz has been around since the beginning of Zi-O.

Could had been interesting a kr with extreme sports as a theme.

Which character has been the most different Riders?
This question is excluding Decade and the argument of whether his Kamen rides are considered him becoming that rider or just a form Decade takes.

Like, I'm thinking it might be Takumi from Faiz, but if Zi-O is canon, then it could be Kagami from Kabuto? So I'm just curious as to which character has been the most different riders.

Kusaka. He used all 3 Smart Brain gear sets.

Technically, I think it'd be Momotaros. Since (mostly through possession) he's been Den-O, MomoRider, Geiz, Woz and Zi-O (by way of Trinity). Also Decade, I think.

Decade's Agito is Agito, G3 and Gills all in one, so he'd be pretty high up there. Onodera also got to be G3 on top of Kuuga, and he was possessed as Den-O on top of that so...well, Decade and Den-O stuff complicates things in general.

And thinking of possession and fusions and stuff...Evolt and Banjou from Build both become or are part of 3 different Riders too. It's a whole thing in this franchise with this stuff.

There's also a question of whether Another Riders count as Riders proper, since that brings Yaguruma up to 3 too, but that's a long shot to be fair.

Kagami is pretty up there. He got to use TheBee before becoming Gatack; and now relatively recently he got to be Kabuto too.

Talking of which, taking the question the other way around and asking "which Rider has had the most users"? TheBee is a top contender with like 4 different guys within Kabuto alone

I think IXA takes top spot in that respect. That knuckle gets thrown around like a hot potato in both eras of Kiva.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. I think like... 7 different people use that thing?

I think Faiz is a contender for this. Besides Takumi Inui, and the AR version Takumi Ogami, several of the Orphnoch were Faiz at some point or another. Horse and Centipede for sure, but I know there were some others.

I think Ixa still wins though.

Kusaka, Kiba if you count Paradise Lost, and Shoichi Ashikawa because let's not forget, AR Shoichi started as G3, then mutated into Exceed Gills, and finally evolved into Agito.

So is the record currently a 3 way tie between Kusaka, AR Shoichi, and Kagami, with all of them being 3 different riders?

I don't count Kiba because Paradise Lost is set in a distinctly different universe, so the Kiba that becomes Orga might as well be an AR character.
Kagami is arguable as well, since I don't know if Zi-O is canon to Kabuto, though the events do make it seem as such, at least.

I'm on the fence about Momotaros, as he does become different riders, but it's through possession. However, it is still technically correct, the best kind of correct :lol

As for which rider has had the most different users, I'm about 90% sure it's Ixa. Freaking, EVERYONE has been Ixa. Hell, I think I might've been Ixa at one point in time :lol

Yeah, Kusaka, Kagami, and AR Shoichi seems about right.

Otoya, Jiro, Rook, Yuri, Mamoru, Nago, the Fangire with the puppets, Megumi, and Kengo have all been Ixa :lol

Spider.

I'd like to see kamen rider gaia where he's powers come from earth and fight against invaders from another dimension who want pollute our dimension.

I'd like to see a Kamen Rider series where the collectibles are literally domino masks. Closest I can think of is phantom thieves but LuPat did that theme so it won't be for a while.

Hey whatever happened to the Zi-o specials? Were there only 2 planned? Or did we lose out on some other ones? If so why?
