It is for Wizards. :lol

If Garren is legit named after a coin from Harry Potter, I'mma lose my shit :lol

Okay. So I was correct with Blade and Chalice, and my theory for Leangle was correct as well. But I never would have guessed Garren. *shrugs* Part of me deep down knew that the four Blade Riders may have been Tarot related in some form or fashion. I just didn't want to voice it and feel stupid for being wrong. ^_^'

Uhm... so that's it... Thanks a bunch!

For the showa era rider that were made into cyborgs, just how much of the body was replaced with robotics?

I think most of the skeleton is replaced.

there's a chapter in Kamen Rider Spirits that shows off the inner machinations of the Kaizou Ningen body.

but, for all we know, certain cyborgs in the showa era might not have been built the same. like Super 1.

Well I mainly bring up it given that when I try to look into images it implies they have at least full body robotics which makes me curious to how much of them is actually there from their human selves.

With Riderman and Super 1 they would probably have less robotics due to riderman's arm and Super 1 being made more a more ethical and significantly less evil group than shocker.

According to what I roughly know Stronger has a lot of more robotics in the implications you never really see him without a sleeveless shirt implying his arms are fully robotic.

oh, the cyborg riders are pretty much (for the most part) human in skin only.

it's where the idea of "losing what makes you human, but not your humanity" of certain rider final forms comes from.

What are these "Cyborg Riders"? Where do they come from?!

Okay so that the extent of cyborgisation if that is actually the word for it.

That is quite the extreme amount of roboticisation.

Also I like that the humanity aspect is kept through out all of kamen rider.

The Showa Riders are cyborgs. Most of them were remodeled by the evil organization they fight later on.

Riderman's only cybernetic part is the arm; the rest of him is all human. I think Amazon is also largely organic since his powers come from "Incan super science." I know that X's chest was all cybernetic; there's an episode where we see V3 open him up to install a new part.

I'm not sure about Stronger's arms, but he wears gloves because his hands are metallic and highly electrified.

Makes given in the spirits manga they have change his arm to make all those cool weapons.

I knew about Amazon which is why in my original question about it I only asked about the cyborg riders, my apologies if I dint make that obvious in my question.

Didn't know that about X and the arm thing is just currently speculation about Stronger given I still have to watch that one and I only have snippets of info.

Thank for the additional info.

OH! Thank you El Convoy!

Not really related to the show, but I don't want to make a whole topic just for this so it goes here. I'm working on a Kamen Rider (original) cosplay and don't know what to do for the eyes (bug eyes, not the eye holes). Any suggestions? The con i'm going to is a week away and everything else can be finished once I put the eyes together.

Depends a bit on what Rider you're gonna cosplay?

You are a shift car. What is your name and what can you do?

"Lazy Collector"

Plays video games, watches cartoons, Japanese Bugman-shows and movies with big rubber-monsters, collects toys and is way too lazy.

Special Ability: Knows too much about unnecessary stuff, good with computers, surprisingly entertaining conversationalist.

Secret Ability: Imagination.

So you are minus the laziness Kyuchan from Drive. :lolol

Kyu isnt a Shift Car though ;P

Also, everytime I see this guys desk I want to yell at him for leaving his computer case open all the time. I just wait for something inside his computer to die because of all this dust and he comes to the IT department (me) crying for a new one.

...

And I'll whisper "No".

I think the 8th episode of the original Kamen Rider actually highlights this when Takeshi winds up hurting a child with his "normal" grip.

Oh damn sniper is also watching the Original kamen rider series, which I will get to at some point.

How is Agito going by the way?

It's going good. Kuuga and Agito are both shaping up to be my favorite Heisei era riders but we'll see how Ryuki goes for me when I finish Agito.

I'd started my way through some of the Showa era riders around the same time I got into OOO and almost finished Stronger but the group I was getting subs from hadn't finished them. I think the translations did finish up last fall so i'll probably finish it.

I'd also heard good things about Black and Amazon so those are on my hit list.

Is Roidmude 001 aka Soichi Makage the true main villain of Drive?

Because he have to do with Shinnosuke's Father's Death (That's make sense for Shinnosuke to against Roidmude 001 since Heart or Brain didn't have connection with him and he's only one who didn't evolved like Heart and Brain

Dov you think he could be the true main villain of Drive?

I think he could be the final boss of Drive because in W, No one expect Jun Kazu to be final boss of W because they assumed that Ryubee Sonozaki was the final boss since he have very strong connection with Philip who happen to be his son

He could be, or Medic could pull an Enter and usurp him down the line. You're likely right though, as they're introducing him late enough in the show to be worthy of the position.

That's actually make sense because Roidmude 001 is number 1, the first Roidmude to be created by Banno and was introduced very late (even though his roidmude form was introduced very early)

And plus, his evolved form which he hasn't got it yet might be the most powerful one, and more stronger than Heart.

What is a good fit for Roidmude 001's evolved form?

2 of Spades-Enhaced Slice
2 of Clubs-Enhanced Smack
2 of Diamonds-Enhanced Shot

Slash Lizard, Stab Bee and Bullet Armadillo. But how does Spirit Human affect the Chalice Rouzer's attacks?

What took 15 years for Roidmude to come back for Global Freeze after they killed Banno and Krim Steinbelt?

Why they suddenly come back for 15 years later?

The Spirit Human doesn't affect the Chalice Rouzer's attacks only turns Hajime into Human Undead. It doesn't seem to have any other stated use. Also nice sig :thumb:

First off it was 5 months before the start of the series and they came back to usurp humanity's position as the dominant race which was the purpose of the Global Freeze.

Well it was mentioned some time before even GF that the roimudes rebelled against the scientists.

True but I think his question was about the Global Freeze and the Roidmudes' return afterward.

Edit: Nevermind I just reread the question he was talking about the Roidmudes' return before they initated the Global Freeze. my bad :o

So in Blade:Missing Ace, Kenzaki is able to seal the Joker. But in the show proper, he becomes a joker to stall the battle fight. Was it possible to seal the joker in the main show universe, or was Kenzaki's solution chocked up to self-sacrifice for his friend?

Self-sacrifice for his friend. Thought he deserved a chance to live life as he chose.

Not sure if it has been asked before or I might have asked it before and have forgotten but what were the problems with wearing the Kiva suit for Seiji Takaiwa?

Basically, it's a branching timeline. If Kenzaki sealed the Joker, Missing Ace happens. If Kenzaki becomes a Joker, then the series ending happens.

All the chains and armoring of the base Kiva suit (and the Arms Monster Forms) was too heavy for him and almost killed him with its weight. That's why they overused Emperor Form so much.

The weight was seriously that bad, I am not sure how bad it was but how was it possible of killing him or was weight the only factor?

I think weight distribution and combat action contributed too.

http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/...20130330023201

Notice how the chest and right shin contain most of the weight.

It does makes sense but damn I can't imagine what it was like in that suit if it bad enough be bad to to have problems for Mr Kamen rider.

Still a cool looking suit despite the weight problems.

Were there any other suits that Mr Kamen Rider had problems with besides Kiva?
