Bikes have taken an increasingly minor role since the 2010s as Japanese traffic laws have made it almost impossible to film any footage for them. A lot of Riders technically have a bike but you only ever see it once or twice; just enough to justify making merchandise of it.

Got downvoted to hell for pointing out multiple writers co-ordiating over the English language for no reason was "a stretch" on reddit, genius website.

Guys, guys! I cracked the code! I'll take my prize money in cash Mr Toei.

Actually now that I've see Geats' logo again. Did anyone figure out what the G E T S in the logo are supposed to be referencing? I know the A is supposed to be a nod to Geats' ear, but I realize I never got why the rest are seemingly spray painted on.

A hint at how easily the world is erased and rewritten in this show?

I watched the first chapter of Blade.

Did anybody else get a Yu GI Oh vibe from it?

Den O

A time traveling train ride? This is already one of my favorite Rider series.

Ryuki

I was already familiar with the card power up aspect of this having seen Dragon Knight.

If Geats' officially "Default" for is MagnumBoost, does that mean he uses his default form the least out of all main riders?

That's a good question... that's complicated to answer since his default is technically the Entry form, after that comes Magnum which is Geat's most "compatible" buckle with his ID core. On the other he's also just Boost the most out of all the other riders.

So I'd like to say MagnumBoost kind of is his "signature" or "Showcase" form displaying the series gimmick. Part of it is that unlike Double or build, we have a dual powers system that only requires a single item to activate.

If Ora became an Another Rider herself like Swartz as Another Decade, what would she become?

Another Drive don’t count due to Paradox posing as her.

I voted for Femme because I just want to see a darker version of her. Also the very name Another Femme is very significant...

The thing is all the marketing focuses on Magnum Boost. Years from now, when a new Rider has a movie where a ton of old Riders show up to fight and are mostly played by suit actors, Geats is just gonna show up already in Magnum Boost. It may not be his default form, but it is his main form

I thought Calibur since Sophia hardly fights.

Given he's always marketed as Magnum Boost, I'd say yeah it is and of course that means, yes he has.

He's only used it three times, not counting anything in the movie that's coming up. But yeah, kind of interesting to see if we're being honest. If they don't push normal usage of Magnum Boost soon, then he'll probably end up as the Rider with the lowest usage of his signature form.

The clipshow made for Hiromi in episode 29 is getting a blu-ray release lol!

So I was rewatching Saber and in the first episode there's this scene where Mei tells Touma to hurry up and give the mauscript so she can edit it. He replies that the deadline is due the next day and asks why she demands the manuscript now. This is her response:

And I kid you not, my thought was (word by word) 'Wait, you have friends?" Throughout the show all I recall is her hanging out with the Sword of Logos and maybe a few interactions with her boss and that's it. I dunno if Saber is really that forgettable of a sries or if it's just another one of those 'early show weirdness' things, but I specifically do NOT recall her having friends.

I feel a bit mean-spirited saying these things, but it's true.

Given the "..." after "Because" I'm guessing it was just the first thing that came to her mind to rush Touma. Well, it's not like the show is showing her life (or any of the characters) 24/7, so anything is possible. Also, her friends may well live in another city or even abroad, and then it is not surprising that they have not seen each other for a whole year.

Pretty sure it's like one of those lines to help add just a bit more umph to the world early on.

Especially when they knew you were only going to be seeing a select cast of characters with no actual victims of the week until Episode 17 likely due to Covid stuff. With there being not that many civilians aside from like minor maybe 1 or 2 minute roles.

Eh, plenty of shows have side characters saying they have friends that you never see

And in Saber, we didn?t even learn until the very end that Buster was not a single father. Well, those who read his manga probably found out a little earlier.

Losing my mind over Rice Cooker Vice wearing the Vice merch

if I had an unsubbed version, this would 100% be a profile picture somewhere

If this is the exact right frame I'll be surprised, but here you go!

You are a blessing

thanks

wait, WHAT?!

Haha! I only watched half of saber and I admired this man going through all that nonsense and finding the time to raise that kid by himself, lol. Incredible!

Lol, sorry for the spoiler then. No, his wife is abroad for work.

That manga is also unironically the best thing to ever come out of the entirety that is Kamen Rider Saber IMO. If that is saying much or not is up to you guys.

No worries there. I wouldn?t consider that a spoiler anyway. It?s really funny to me, though. I gotta pick saber back up. I was liking the half of the show I watched.

While talking about it, I consider this video to be the best content on Faiz:

The show is really good, and definitely in the top, but this is a real masterpiece.

Where would one read this Buster manga anyway?

I'm not usually a manga person, but since Saver is (as far as I care) one of the best seasons I've watched, it might be worth looking into.

(also I'd say the best thing to come out of Saber was Tri of Deep Sin, but I guess that's just what I think. It's also like saying what the best thing to come out of chocolate is, but whatever.)

https://mangadex.org/title/36bcd157-...e-47830b332033

Second it on Trio Of Deep Sins being really great. Though I'd also put the Primitive Dragon Arc to be one of the best beserker arc we've gotten for Rider.

That was fast. Thanks!

Primitive Dragon was really good. Definately my favorite take on an out of control form.(I should probably stop hyping Saber while I still can.)

Nah go for it. If you love Saber don't feel ashamed about it.

Saber had a weak start, a great middle and and okay final third with a great finale. It had a lot of wasted potential but it's a really enjoyable season.

Join in the praise of Trio Of Deep Sins. In a sense, this is the very "adult" look at the show, which is unsuccessfully trying to get in the brutal Showa remakes, slipping into angst and senseless violence. I really hope there are more films like this in the future.
And the Primitive Dragon Arc is beautiful.

I'm not ashamed, I just don't want to be here all day. : )

I'm also not very good at explaining why I like things, and I don't want to be repetitive.

While we talk about Saber, can i talk about my opinion on why Falchion is one of the best rider movie character?

Sure this guy originated from a 20 minutes movie, but he manage to move from said movie into the main series almost seamlessly without breaking the pacing, stake or the story beat.

Instead it all still remain consistent and he manage to raise the stake even higher while not feeling like he come seemingly at random thanks to Kyoumu being shown through Kento vision.

He even get some development in the main series and doesn't overstay his welcome at all, like usually movie rider cameo into the main series are barebone and look obviously shoe horne, but Falchion feel like a main series rider introduce early through movie rather than movie rider migrating into main series.

Him being the last seiken user to show up also help.


Only thing that feel random is emotional dragon but even then emotional dragon just feel like the usual rider cameo than anything so is pretty easy to swallow.

And while we at it, i also want to say Kyoumu is probably the best movie rider item i have ever seen.

I know that in my opinion the seiken in general are probably one of the best transformation device to come in rider due to how they're written in the series, but Kyoumu is just a gigachad.

This sword show up in a movie, go to the main series seamlessly while also become one of the key item for final form, get use by the characters in main series one even transforming once using it, have one of the best finisher and moment in rider series, then it was use again in the movie as the main antagonist main transformation device and said movie is one of the rider movie that the majority regard as one of the best rider movie too.

Seriously i'm really impressed with Falchion and Kyoumu in general that i can't help but praise it, but damn did i create a wall of text lol.

If Geats was adapted, what would be a good "Henshin call"?

That goes for Revice as well.

Hey all,

I was a poster on here a really long time ago but kinda fell out of the Toku loop for reasons I don’t really remember. I have been kinda lurking in the shadows, I watched big chunks of Build, Ex-Aid and Zero One, but I never finished any of them. I have also watched a couple of episodes of shows like Ghost, Sabre and Drive but didn’t really vibe with any of them.

I guess I realised that half the fun for me is discussing a show, and when you are potentially years behind and watching a show most thought was mediocre and have moved on from, that is less easy to do.

Can anyone give me like a watch or skip consensus from like Drive to present? (Does it age me to say the last Rider series I watched start to finish was Gaim?) And maybe like rank the watches in that list?

Also, is Geats worth watching given I only have like 15 episodes to watch there to be up to date rather than 40 plus?

I'd say just give the shows you haven't seen yet a shot. No point in going back to shows you really weren't feeling.

But we?re talking like what, 10 shows, all forty plus episodes? That is insane commitment, especially if some of the shows are bad and people could warn me not to waste my time.
