So where Baron, Knight, Meteor and other secondary riders. Nothing new that we had since 2002.

So what does Descartes have to do with Ghost?

He's dead.
????

Descartes is famous for the philisophical proposition Cogito ergo sum, i.e. We Think, Therefore We Are (the title of Ghost's theme song).

But what does that have to do with ghosts or even eschatology as a whole?

Yes, I know.

I dunno though, I don't think there's any real connection. He's a notable dead guy from history...shrug. The lyrics of the song are basically all about living life or whatever, seems they're tying that into his proposition about the fact that people exist.

More like Goto-san MK II

Only in the fact that it would be lame having the same character in another show, because Chase was awesome and his "end" was really good.

Boy, you sure like comparing things based on nothing, right?

They both wear leather jackets... and that's it. Spectre seems to have his own motives though, he's just a rival because he too wants 15 Eyecons, and they’re not really enemies.

And Mashin Chaser was not a Rider and not a rival, he wanted to kill Drive where as Spectre only wants him out off his way.

What month are the Hyper Battle Video items (Fresh Orange, Type High Speed) bundled with the TV-kun magazine usually released?

It varies, but for Gaim it was March and for Drive I think it was January or February, so expect it around there.

What's Kougami's deal? Is he a villain? Hero? Indifferent schmuck that makes cake and sings during earthquakes?
