Sadness :(

He says that to change color, not to go to Rising. Also, saying it does nothing. He says Chou Henshin (and Henshin) to look cool.

Figures this comes from the person that hates W, the awesome Rider ever.

PS I hate Decade's pink ass...that sounded better in my head...eitherway, Worst. Rider. Ever.

EDIT: For the record, like and hate who you want coturos, just don't ever try to get of us all to agree on one Rider because it ain't gonna happen.

Exactly! Every Rider has their fans and I don't think you could ever get all of us to agree on one rider to rule them all. Hell I can't even decide myself who I like the most :lol

you all know that was sarcastic right, i meant that ironically, i know like 65% of everyone hate decade

i dont hate double himself, its everything else i despise :p

No, the face of Kamen Rider is, was, and always will be Rider 1.

As for who the face of the modern era is, we actually had a thread about that about a month ago. Generally, it seems like W is the face of the modern era. The show was wildly popular and Toei's been keeping not only W around, but have been actually having Shotaro and Philip showing up regularly out of suit.

Like sarcasm works on the interweb :lol

:p

Well, so does almost every rider ever then(with a few notable exceptions). :P

Hell they even showed up in 'Lets Go' out of suit for a moment. Those dudes are way too awesome and popular for Toei not to cash in on them. It makes perfect sense. It's why W had that mini-section of Mega Max as well. The popularity is there so why not capitalize on it?

But Godai makes it clear that he doesn't have to say it. There's even a scene where Godai comes up with Chou Henshin and Ichijo laughs at him.

To bad Let's Go made Rider 1 into a villian.

Shotaro's actor has said he loves playing Shotaro. He's not hard to get back. Now if only W could get movies lie Den-O...

We could easily start a clip war here, but let's spare these nice people. :p

Eh, he got better. Besides, how can you complain when they actually got Fujioka back to voice him?

I can't tell when he never takes off his helmet. It's just a voice that I'm not that familiar with. Plus I've only seen like 2 episodes of the original Kamen Rider. He fought Nazis in a little girl's room. It was awesome.

You did know? Showa era Riders fought Nazis all the time. The world needs to have a Captain America and Rider 1 team up to fight Starfish Hitler (from Kamen Rider X) :D

have never seen a showa series

Yeah, that's something that happened. This is what makes Showa era Riders awesome. :D

well i knew about starfish hitler, u can thank tjomega for that. i just havent seen a series

So, basically, Toei should've taken better advantage of their working with Marvel and teamed Captain America up with Kamen Rider?
Hell yeah.

Watch Black. It's completely subbed and completely awesome. Plus it's relatively modern, so the special effects downgrade is less jarring.

Just saw the Riderman quiz earlier. Yuki was so cute doing that.

During one of the questions they were joking around about Yuki being a kaijin. Funny that they mentioned that. But still it was funny how JK and Tomoko suck at doing quizes. You;d think she'd do a little better at this seeing as she runs a site on Kamen Rider lore.

Plus they show clips on KR V3! Further proof that V3 is a badass. Even his sidekick a badass too!

I'm running into the final stretch of Kabuto. Matrixbeast, what did you get me into?
Random observations:
Is it just me or do the Hoppers really serve no purpose? They just go around being whiny (although that's not rare for Kabuto riders), and they beat up a few lackey worms every once in a while. Same goes for Tsurugi, sans the fighting, but he's awesome so he gets a free pass. I loved Drake's little love story; it was pretty harsh for a kid's show. Kagami and Tendou just seem to be pissed off at everything, and nothing really makes sense in regards to Hiyori and the Natives. I'm kinda worried about how they'll wrap up Dark Kabuto, Tsurugi's actual identity, Tadoroko and Hiyori being worms, and the mystery behind Zect in less than 7 episodes.
Oh, and as bleak as the odds look, I still want to see all of the riders henshin together, like their very own Sentai, Insect Sentai Miscommunicationranger.

Umm, you're welcome? :lol
Anyway, with only 7 episodes left and it being over a year and a half since I've seen Kabuto, I'm just gonna let you finish :P

[ spoiler ] [/ spoiler ] (No spaces)

And this Cap needs to be Toei Cap, meaning he has to have a giant robot that looks nothing like him and his powers come from aliens. :D

I haven't seen much Showa myself (and only one episode of Black), but I agree. Out of them, Black is the least silly and seems to have a good plot. Also, Shadow Moon. His foot step are so menacing.

:lol I knew this post was coming!

The last bit of Kabuto is heartbreaking to watch. It only goes do hill from here. Brace yourself. Especially if you're a Sasword fan.

You can get Black episodes either from Century Kings' site or from krdl.info.

And yeah, most of the tertiary Riders from Kabuto were kind of useless.

sasword and the hoppers "saved" the series for me, they werent acting like idiots and were just having fun with the part. kabuto was a d*uche end of story, thebee zecter was an idiot, he left yaguruma for going a little and trying to kill kabuto (which is wat zect wanted), but he stayed with kageyama after betraying the organization worked and with the worms. and drake, auughee he is not worth my words

oh yeah and kaGAmi for the win

Honestly, the secondary characters is what made Kabuto so endearing to me. They were goofy, they were funny, they provided great foils to Tendou (Be it dramatic or hysterical), and they pretty much saved the series.

i gotta say sasword is best, how bout u guys

I swear Coturos, if we ever fully agree on something the world might explode :p


I liked Sasword at first when he was a somewhat snobby guy (but in a funny way) that spent most of his time trying to out do Tendou in all things. He was also a good fighter with a poison blade and a cool suit design (both forms). That was cool. I liked that Sasword. But then he losses everything, stops being a Rider, forgets how to fight, and stops having anything to do with the plot of the show and is reduced to pure comedic relief...that's not all that funny.

I consider Sasword to be the best example of how this show started great and ended up being painful to watch in the end. At least Drake was written out of the show when he had no more use, but this poor bastard was force fed into every episode becoming nothing but a joke all the while.


Hoppers...cool idea, but utterly pointless. Aside from their story going no where (Don't get me started on the suicide pact BS), the Hoppers powers were pointless when there's 3 Zectors not in use. And I don't care about that dumb sword uses the Zectors. It's just a waste of perfectly good Zectors.


Basically, I sum up Kabuto as a show that started great with great ideas for plot and subplots that seem to be adding up to some kind of finale, but then somewhere along the way it lost focus. The great set ups lead no where and over half the cast becomes pointless.


Now, I'm going to try and destory the world...Kagami is awesome. Do you concur, Coturos? :D

Sasword is, in my opinion, the only good tertiary Rider on Kabuto. He was a fun character, he had an awesome suit design (in Rider mode, at least - Masked Sasword is possibly the worst suit in Rider history), and a good story arc. I was really bummed when he died because he brought a whole lot of fun to the show that I really missed after he was gone, even if he had gotten pretty clowny near the end.

i dont remember wen he stopped trying to beat tendou, he was always going i am at the top of dadada. as for drake, he picked make up over not letting an amnesiac 10 year old get kidnapped..... he can suck it.

now to destroy the world...... kagami for the win! aaaaaaaahhh- *explosion*

though for the first two episodes he was pretty whiney

God damn you guys are making me wanna watch Kabuto sooo much. :( I need to finish with Ryuki already...

That ugly Rider at the far end of all of the all Rider line ups. There's reasons he's at the end, none of which are good.

I made the mistake of watching some of Shin...WTF was that? why did that happen?

I'm marathoning OOO

Down to the finale of Kabuto.

• Tsurugi remains my favorite character. The whole Misakinu thing didn't get as stale as I thought it would, even if it did get a bit cheesy. I'd have preferred if he took just that Rider Slash, instead of just grabbing Misaki. It made for a little more awkward of a scene than it could have been.
• Hopper bondage... no comment.
• I thought Gajria did a good job of hiding his accent for most of the sound clips, but the Perfect Zecter just ruined it. Hearing "Maximum Rider Pawvar" is kind of jarring for a final attack.
• I would've liked it if, during the scene where worms are attacking multiple areas of the city in their assault on Area Z, if they had given the Riders their own Zect troops, like they gave Sasword. I've always had a problem with this when it comes to multiple Riders/Rangers. None of them seem independent from the others; they always seem to run into the same battles by happenstance.

Well, it's time to finish this show off.

Life goes on, anything goes

Everything's Coming up OOO!!
....
Curse you Den-O!

Rewatched OOO finale, because more OOO is never a bad thing.

I'm on ep 20 the TaJaDor ep my second fave

Hey, Shin was totally... um... conceptually interesting.

I guess.

Unless it's Nobunaga's Desire. :p

ok I really don't like eps 21 and 22
