Dark Drive because his suit is sexy as hell.

Character wise I can:t really think of anyone I care about.

But Type Next is such a damn good suit.

I also like Lupin a lot, now that I think about it.

Psyga, Orga, Mars, Sango, Eternal really there's been no shortage of great movie Rider designs.


I think I love Psyga the most. Then Orga, mainly because it's really something that should have happened in the show.

My favorite is probably Femme. I really liked her character and the way she interacted with Shinji. Skull is definitely another favorite, too. New Den-O also had some cool moments. I'll throw in some respect for Eternal, but it's mostly because I like his posse.

So does Kamen Rider Chalice's bow come from the fact that the Mantis Undead can use it, or is it Hajime's own power that it comes from?

I assume it's the Mantis since we never see the Joker using any kind of bow.

The Chalice Arrow is the Mantis Undead's weapon, yeah.

The Rouzing capabilities are all Hajime, though.

Which Rider death impacted you the most at first view?

PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS

For myself it was Kamen Rider Scissors from Ryuki

Oh man, I can't even begin to narrow that one down.

Scissors' death really left an impression on me since Ryuki was my "first" Rider show, and since it comes so tone-settingly early on. Not to mention happening just off-screen only made it all the creepier.

Chase's death in Drive was handled spectacularly, of course. If that scene didn't make you feel something, you probably aren't human. Which I suppose would be rather ironic.

Sasword in Kabuto? Like a lot of Kabuto, it's a bit of a blur to me now, but the character had become one of my favorite (maybe even my favorite) parts of the show, and the whole episode was really well done as I remember it. Very melodramatic in a good way. Bonus points for airing on Christmas Eve. I imagine any kid who got a Sasword Zecter the next morning had trouble being happy about it. Way to go, Inoue! :p

Also I know this is cheating but episode 12 of Ghost is completely amazing and I will always stand by its plot as not being redundant in any way beyond the surface level. It's really good.

For me it was Hase/Kurokage. It was just cruel and vicious what happened to him.

(Why am I so good at accidentally reading Drive spoilers. I have no one to blame but myself.)

For me though, it was probably either Philip from W (even though it wasn't permanent it had be bawling) or Shinji from Ryuki by merit of how unexpected and SAVAGE it was (even though this too, wasn't technically permanent).
