Damn my true motivations revealed! :lol

You just proved how ill fittingly skinny they are.

And yes, I do find it a problem, and it does effect the quality of the show for me. Shows are an illusion, and I find stuff like this a not very convincing one. People can shrug off stuff like this, or bad effects, or whatever but I can't. And surely I can't be the only one.

Sorry, but it just called for some of those awesome shots of Gaku Sano xD

Honestly it doesn't bug me, the 'military' Kamen Riders are all expected to fight in their Henshined forms so there is no reason to be marine level buff(hell my brother is a marine and he looked just as buff as Dante)

I wouldn't even call Kenzaki military anyway, he was hired by a non government organization because he could tap into Blades powers to the fullest, and that was after they made one of their own scientist become a Kamen Rider. Obviously looking like a military solider wasn't one of BOARD's priorities when hiring.

EDIT
Now if they were suppose to have a military background like Oren but looked like Wataru(not bashing him, love him to death) I would probably have a problem.
Thanks for my new sig :p

The thing with Kamen Rider is that many Riders aren't chosen because they are the best combatants, but for other reasons, or in many cases, they just so happen to come across the power by accident (like Shinji) or because they were the only ones close by who could use it at the time of their first henshin and they just ran with it (W, Faiz). Very few Riders are recruited for their combat experience, at least of the series I've seen.

I'd like to point out that Daiki Kaitou/Diend isn't the best choice for 'Riders who should look tough and muscular but don't'. The guy was an administrative cop before he became a Rider, and as Diend he fights mainly with his gun, trickery and summoning other Riders to do the fighting for him. He's not a stand up and trade punches kind of fighter, so it makes sense that he doesn't look like one.

THANKS. Yup, that pretty much sums it up.

Yup, yup. And most people who could be accused to fall in that category were not soldiers before, but usually cops of some sorts.



Oh god, are you trying to kill me? xDDDDD


For most riders, it's also a thing that they don't have fighting experience and are supported by their transformation, like Fourze or OOO. They are both fit and are trained like an average, sporty person, but not like a fighter and you see that when they battle. So to me, it was always absolutely believable...

In Eiji's case, he's became a hermit after that little girl died At most, he's at least self-trained to survive in different environments, as evident with his location in the last episode, seeing as all he had on him was his pantsu and his phone.

Sounds like enough exercise to survive a fight to me ;)

Walking deserts? Leg muscles! Climbing rocks? Leg muscles and arm muscles! Not as big as Oren's but remember, looks can be deceiving! :D

But, they don't really need to be buff at times, remember that episode of Wizard when he used that Buff as shit ring? Insta-Muscles. It worked for MagiGreen too.
