I don't think Yoko's death was a proper fridging; it's not like it really affected Kaito for more than one or two minutes. It was just a pointless waste of a character.

Her whole relationship with Kaito was a pointless waste of a character. So much potential :/

this is more of what I'm referring to. Her death was pointless, but not necessarily a fridging. Because,we also see Kaito's motivations for why he hates the world he lives in, and Yoko was not a part of that. Plus, he already intended to fight Kouta beforehand, so there's not really much motivation added to that, if at all.

What are some of your favorite Rider Toylines? Speaking mostly the mainline stuff so not Figuarts or other collector oriented toys :)

SIC Kiwami Tamashii was my toyline of choice. Sadly defunct now, although I did just get the Trychaser on clearance and plan to try and get a Gouram for it at some point. And no, that's not mainline, but SIC KTs and Figuarts were the only Kamen Rider toys I've ever collected.

...she died because she was an energy rider who wasn't Takatora. Sure, she wasn't anywhere near as evil as the other two, and her crush on Kaito wasn't allowed to become OTP, but what really would have been her life like after the last fight if she lived? She sided with Kaito willingly, who was about to go wipe out any person he viewed as a "bully", she originally backed the secret plans of Ryouma simply because she was intrigued by his potential as a candidate for the apple, and her helping out the other originally was only because of her interest in Kaito. She wasn't a good person, or someone who really redeemed themselves like Oren. I liked her more than Oren, but it seemed pretty clear that unlike him, she didn't have anything left for her character to go to after Kouta had killed Kaito. Unless you wanted to see her reduced to being arrested for her association the to leaked files Ryouma sent out about Project Ark, dying was the (sadly) best option left for her. Unless she just went underground and hid from everybody, but that would mean Micchy got to have redemption and she didn't, and I'm not down with that shit at all.

Do all Kivats kill humans who use them or was that just Nisei? And what happens if a non-Fangire non-human being used one?

Well, we haven't seen Natsumi since the last Decade movie... ;)

Since Kamen Rider Summer Movie are very bigger movie than Super Sentai

What is your dream idea for Kamen Rider Drive's Summer Movie?

For example (This is my breakdown of previous film, So don't judge me if I got them wrong!)

In W, Kamen Rider W have to deal with Kamen Rider Eternal and his Undead Henchman while Philip think that Maria S. Cranberry is his mother (actually it was prove false since Maria was Katsumi's mother)

In OOO, Kamen Rider OOO transport to Samurai Era and must stop the ancient enemy while trying to rescue Boy's mother whom was possessed by Movie Villain

In Fourze, Kamen Rider Fourze and his friend was tricked by 2 evil robot who wanted to destroy earth and Mysterious woman whom Meteor fought is a daughter of a scientist who was killed by his creation

In Wizard, Kamen Rider Wizard and Koyomi transport to Magic Land and try to find The Golden Sorcerer but when Wizard find out about King's secret, Wizard is in danger

In Gaim, Kamen Rider Gaim transport into Soccer World which is created by his Blue Overlord counterpart and face his greatest enemy, Kamen Rider Mars!

Now What is your big idea for Drive? I wish that Drive face off with Sky King Rider but they use airplane on Kamen Rider 4 which killed my dream of getting a evil Airplane Rider

This might be a ridiculous question, but I remember Hana (from Den-O) being replaced with a much younger form of herself. Why did "Hana" leave the show?

I think she had to leave due to health issues.

Because of health problems from what I remember. Then she later retired from the entertainment industry as well.

Ah... okay. Thanks for answering my question. :)

We've never gotten a really clear explanation of what happened, but from what I've heard she couldn't keep up with the heavy workload of the series.

Because her original actress having a health problem due to overwork, she had to stop playing Hana, thus the reason her character was reduced to the age of a child

It will probably involve yet another alt. world, maybe a refreshing of an older Toku franchise Toei wants to bring back, or Have yet another evil Rider introduced. Maybe they'll even bring back having a cameo of the next rider in the film.

It would be cool seeing drive vs proto drive as a movie

Why Kamen Rider Drive is trying to be Carranger with Cop Show Element?

I thought Drive is supposed to be a comedy show since Gaim was too darker for little kid but Drive have an episode where a woman trying to committed suicide!

Why you still call Drive a kid show or pre-school type show when it have Woman trying to committed suicide! Suicide is not a kid thing!

Kamen Rider is aimed at a pre-teen audience, not a preschool show.

Japan has very different attitudes towards suicide than Western countries, to be fair.

This pretty much. And it's not just the topic of death in general. Kamen Rider also featured some jokes on suggestive themes as well, like when Yuuki was taking off her clothes of in the rabbit hutch, suggesting Gentarou should also dress out and Gentarou got all nervous before realizing he had the completely wrong thing in mind.

Kanzaki Shiro has made you form a contract with a skunk-type mirror monster. Do you:
1. This sucks. I dont care if I get to transform. I am out.
2. Lets troll some Riders. Starting with Asakura. Cause might as well go out in a blaze of glory.
3.Cry yourself to sleep

4. Get on Shinji's good side and hope I'm a Ren and not a Tezuka.

Are we getting another Battride this year? What do you guys think? It's usually around the time a Rider get's their proto-final form that the game is announced (All-Dragon States for Wizard, Kachidoki for Gaim). If so, then what could the plot be this time? They've done the final bosses/most prominent fight, they've done the movie bosses, and the recent Neo-Heisei have really had crossover films. Either they add the Showa Riders as the main pull and then end it with a Kamen Rider Taisen adaptation (GP was just released, so it's doubtful it'll make it into a game right now), or they base the missions off of S.I.C. stories, which I think would be even more awesome. What do you guys think?

Gonna ask this question here since it didn't get any response from the previous time asked.

What were the problems with second half of Kabuto?

I think another Battride is in the cards but the last one came a month later then the first one, so we might not hear about it for another month.

There was financial issue because of overusing Clock Up in the first 20 episodes consistently so in the second half they reduced that to a minimum number.
Kick Hopper & Punch Hopper didn't really get clear explaination and their plot is half-baked.
The final battle was bad, too.

Hiyori's actress got really sick, too, and had to miss most of the last 15 or so episodes. That kinda threw a wrench into some of the planned story.

Thanks for that Luminous, I was just asking since it has been a while since I last watched it and after getting through well Kabuto didn't leave the most favourable impression.

I also hear there were problems with them having to rush plots in the second half as well.

Is Takahito Omori worst producer ever?

He was head producer of Kamen Rider Hibiki, Kamen Rider Den-O, Kamen Rider Kiva, Kyoryuger and Kamen Rider Drive.

Back in 2013 Takahito states that Kyoryuger didn't have yellow ranger because he felt Yellow was too feminine for male ranger and yet Ninninger have Male Yellow Ranger.

He lie us by telling us that Kamen Rider Drive will have Super Sentai-type episode and what we got? Two Part Format Episode!

Even Shigeki Hosokawa the actor who play Hibiki blame Takahito and Toshiki Inoue for ruined Kamen Rider Hibiki's finale arc.

Takahito and Toshiki Inoue was blame of why Kamen Rider Kiva was so boring show because they focus way too much on romance than Horror!

Kyoryuger was okay show, while it was not boring, it was ruined by Daigo's spotlight stealing thing! Heck! Even the fan call "Daigo Sentai Kingranger"

The only show he did okay was Den-O! Den-O wasn't boring.

Why blame on writer than producer? No one love Naomi Takebe for some reason.

Hey I liked Kiva! I didn't find it boring in the slightest.

I wouldn't say Kiva was boring.

But I also wouldn't say it was good.

I liked Kiva to, but the show had problems with storytelling.

2 polygon-lovestories are just a bit too much for one Super Hero show.

I'm thinking about watching Kamen Rider Ryuki as I haven't seen any KR series before, and I hear that one's pretty good, but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

Ryuki's a good show, but if you're a huge fan of anime you might want to watch Gaim first, it's pretty darn good.

Ryuki is a better alternative since that's what Gaim and numerous anime takes after.

If you want to start a franchise, wouldn't it be sensible to start with a show that is more representative of the franchise's style? Gaim is kinda unconventional for a Rider series, so it might give you false expectations.

Gaim does try to contain some themes and rhetorics of previous Kamen Riders, but it definitely muddles it a lot

I say go with Ryuki.
