Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Faiz a firefly as well?

Faiz is firefly themed yes but he is also based off a shark with the fins on his head and the fang marks on the mouth part of his helmet.

But... Zack didn't die. <_<

Yup I heard about that. And the Phi symbol as well.

Ah crud I forgot about the Greek symbols being a part of the Faiz suit designs.

Also there are more themes of Faiz and Takumi himself but hey that is a tad spoilery, I can imagine you will have seen it so it is not of spoiling you but more for not spoiling everyone else.

You're all wrong; Faiz's design is based off of a construction worker.

How so?

Would you guys be better off if Kamen Rider was adapted in Canada instead of the US?

IS this for real?

Didn't he? Whatever, point still stands. I felt nothing watching Gaim.

Yet you're watching Drive.

No accounting for taste I guess. :/ Then again, there were no deaths in Gaim that felt like they were trying to be sad. The only "good" characters to die were Kouta and Mia, who we knew were going to survive somehow. It was less "oh no they're dead" and more "what's gonna happen next?" Everyone else who died was a villain, or at least an adversary. I felt elation when Ryouma finally died, for example. Sid's death was long-awaited vindication. The other deaths weren't sad so much as tragic. Usually victims of circumstance or their own bad decisions. The show never played them up as emotionally saddening.

Philip's death was sad in W because of the acting and the way it was done. The simple fact that he died was not saddening, and Gaim never did anything like that. It didn't try to. The closest was Kaito, but again, he was a villain. A somewhat understandable villain, but a villain nonetheless.

No, it's a joke from a Decade web movie.

People die a lot in Kamen Rider. Even after Decade, where it was supposedly more kiddy or something, still a lot of "death is the main takeaway from a lot of stories."

Yup. Every main rider has had death be a major part of their background.

W with Skull, OOO with the girl in Africa, Fourze with his parents, Gaim with Yuya, and Drive with his dad. And in Ghost, the main rider IS the deceased character.


I don't know much about Wizard lol

Death of Haruto's parents.

Every Phantom is a dead human.

EVERY Phantom.

Thanks for clarifying that. Wouldn't be Kamen Rider unless the main character had a dead parent.

In kamen rider drive episode 46 is Shinnosuke and the others going to know about chase has died?

I'd love to see a Rider show where the hero has a loving and healthy relationship with his 2 living parents throughout the whole show.

Ok. I don't watch Drive. But I know how the Drive Driver came about. SO can anyone explain the Gold Driver?

If you mean the one Banno uses then that one was created by Banno himself. He is a former colleague of Krim Steinbelt who worked with him to create the Roidmudes. On the night of the Global Freeze and Krim got killed Banno had one of the Roidmudes copy Krims memories. That way he was able to recreate the Drive system and put his mind into a Belt as well.

Ah. Thank you!

You should watch Drive, Psycho. I highly recommend it.

I've seen clips and watched a couple of episodes. Did not impress me.

At least you gave it a chance.

Whether he gave it a fighting chance or not really depends on which episodes and clips were seen. If he only tuned in at the very beginning or during that time in the middle when things got really slow and repetitive, then he really hasn't seen the best Drive has to offer.

Psycho, did you watch those episodes of Drive before episode 26 (Kamen Rider Chaser's debut) or after? If it was after then I guess Drive isn't for you because it was after the Chaser episode when everyone's opinion on Drive changed.

I watched random episodes. Not to mention the cross-over movie.

You should give it another try. Drive is awesome. And pretty intense these days.

Banno can go to hell and die. ... That is all.

Why did none of the big fansubbers like TV-Nihon or Aesir ever sub the Gaim Fruits Cup movie? It just bothers me that the movie doesn't match the rest of the episodes in my Gaim folder. :eyebrow

TV-Nihon did. At least I'm pretty sure they did because that's the one I watched. I got it off KRDL.

Its on Henshin Fever. I think Nihon did, as well as some group with the word "banana" in their name.

In my weird head of mine, I just find it that each subber agrees to sub certain seasons, and movies. One particular subber group subs the current on going season, while the runner ups subs things such as crossovers, movies, etc....

Probably not how it works, but by going how Gaim and Drive was handle I think so.

Can I just say that I was right! Heart is the final roidmude that drive must fight well to be precise he's the last battle for the main plot but it still counts.

Oh yeah, they did. And now I'm remembering the reason I forgot they had; they're hardsubs just like this other one that I have. For one reason or another, I prefer my Kamen Rider movies to be softsubbed, which I why I was hoping Aesir would do it. Ah well...

Does anybody else feel like Banno was a cheap way to make the Roidmudes feel more sympathetic?

No, I just feel like Banno is a cheap villain overall. He has no character besides "Muhaha I'm so evil!". But, he does provide a lot of development for other characters, the Roidmudes and Gou in particular, and I wouldn’t call that cheap.

It would’ve been cheap if Banno was a character that jumped out of a box in the last 10 episodes. Well, he kind of did, but he always was a factor in the story, even though he appeared later on.
