Kamen Rider Black IS the quintessential Kamen Rider. It was, it is, and it will remain as the quintessential Kamen Rider show. In all seriousness, PLEASE watch Kamen Rider Black in its entirety if you have not folks.

Sounds like someone's forgetting the Faiz Hyper Battle Video.

What? This must be Gorgom's doing!

First the Power Rangers, now the Masked Rider.

But in all seriousness, I had some fun with this two-parter. Probably because RX was the one series featured in Decade that I had watched any of beforehand.

Just like Blade, I haven't watched Black or RX yet either, so I can't compare these Worlds to the originals.

However, I can agree that the story of this arc is kind of lame. I can see it's trying to keep the momentum of character development, like if the last arc was about Natsumi giving Tsukasa a place to return to, then this arc is about Tsukasa having to protect that place, protect Natsumi, learn not to take his friends for granted. It's a good idea, but sadly, the execution is poor.

Kaito is especially awful and petty here, stealing the Perfecter while Natsumi's life is at stake, just so Tsukasa will have to pay attention to him. Why does this guy feel so entitled when all he does is get in the way and in the case of the last world, literally cause all the problems? Switchblade calling this the start of Yonemura's SHW madness is pretty apt.

I take back what I said about the World of Diend being my least favorite, at least that was vaguely interesting. I recall being indifferent to the Worlds of Black and RX in my previous watches, but I think I forget the true mediocrity of this arc. It's unfortunate, since this is my introduction to Showa Rider and maybe the reason why I haven't got around to watching Black or RX yet, due to their poor first impression on me.

It's very simple.

Minami Kotaro enjoys life as he should, until he encounters a golfing club. Said golfing club is attracting many children, very strange. He of course suspects it to be Golgom, and turns out to be right! Golgom has concocted a plan to use the golfing club to lure children and in turn... Uh... LOOK! Nobuhiko is here, telling Minami Kotaro to join him! Ahhh Find out next time in Kamen Rider BLACK!

No, seriously, Black and RX are ridiculous in its plot it's hilarious. There is one where he suspects a kid's ice cream falling to be Golgom and he's completely right!

Of course, every Kamen Rider fan knows golf is truly the most evil villain of the franchise!

Sounds like he has the Go-On Wings' sixth sense.

It also lead to them showing up as separate characters in all of the team up movies that don’t involve multidimensional travel, which always bothers me.

Joe the Haze was the absolute best thing in Black RX. Don't @ me.

Glad you enjoyed it!

I can see that. This story... it just doesn't do a lot to set up Black or RX's premise, beyond vague comments about "comrades". It doesn't really pop as a world. The Rider and monster costumes are neat, and that's about it? If Switchblade weren't around for me to pester, I'm not sure I'd've gotten anything from Black or RX's storyline.

That doesn't sound great!
