Yep. Now that you mention it I wanna see the reaction of a legit angry Japanese otaku from circa 1988 who thinks all shows up to BLACK are the purest of pure rider shows of what comes after RX. :lolol
Literally just take him or her out from their timeline and just show from Kuuga and onwards Robot Chicken style. :lolol
Expect infinite numbers of "NANI KORE!" and "YAMERO! YAMENASAI!" or "ORE NO KAMEN RAIDAA GAAAAHHHHH!!!!":lolol

Blade and Ex-Aid. I love it when riders run through something to transform.

Thing about Blade that I feel is that it basically took Kuuga and Agito's henshin choreo and amped it up. That slow hand raise in the beginning feels a lot like Agito(though the direction is slanted instead of straight-forward) and then after that wrist flick it goes Kuuga on us which is great.

Out of all of them I really like Black's the most. It's not super over the top compared to some of the more modern transformations but those fist clenches are on point, and that brief moment during the transformation sequence when he's in his 'larval' form is a really nice touch imo. Reminds me that even though he's the hero, he was still intended to be one of Golgom's monsters.
