I didn't even immediately realize that Geryon and Glion were the same character. But Kurogane must be a Spanner, otherwise the whole pun on his name is lost.

It feels like there was some kind of detente among fansub groups that broke down a few years ago and now it's a complete free-for-all on how character names are anglicized.

How would you create a deep space rider season in Reiwa?

We have space riders out of Fourze, Meteor, Nadeshiko & Ginga.

We need a rider who’s rider machine controls a spaceship.

I recently checked and found out that only two rider shows have received dubbing in my native language: W and Revice. Well, those who did this have a very clear taste. Of course, Black Sun also has voice acting, but there are completely different reasons.

I never collected the full-sized ones, but man I really fucking miss SIC.

I think if there is ever going to be a musical show of riders, it would be worth making a group and basing the characters on the Bremen Town Musicians. Little or no use of animals that are unlikely to appear under other circumstances.

What :lolol


Well, there was that one Faiz Terebi-kun special where Faiz killed Orphnochs with a boombox and the whole thing was a musical.

The Kamen Rider Decade Musical should be required viewing by all people into Kamen Rider.

Gorgeous thing. Although, objectively, this is more likely a play by Kuuga from Decade, and not by himself.

I still haven't seen Decade but I think this musical is now on the required watching list when I get around to it...

In retrospect it's worth a watch despite being a show that was created to fill the void while Bandai and Toei was restructuring Kamen Rider as a late summer/early fall show back in 2009 so it wouldn't have to compete with Super Sentai.

But Toei still should have released a Kamen Rider G show instead.

As hilarious as that sounds sadly no. :lolol
G was a one-shot crossover with the variety show that SMAP was hosting at the time on TV Asahi. I believe they had a special segment where each member got to work on a pet project and member Goro Inagaki chose a Kamen Rider one-shot show.

So Takeru Sato who played Ryotaro and Wakana Matsumoto who played Airi in Den-O are reuniting in the live action Cells at Work movie. Sato will be playing White Blood Cell and Matsumoto will be playing Macrophage.

Cool! I'll definitely watch it! And trailer:

Sato's fight choreo from the teaser has me wondering if they hired the choreographer from the live action Rurouni Kenshin movies. It feels familiar.

This is true! Takahito Ouchі was in charge of staging the fights, having previously worked on Rurouni Kenshin.

Oh wow. Good find. :rock:
Yeah, the press in Japan seems to highlight that Ouchi is working on the movie.

Just remembered this thread, thought I'd drop it here. Anyone remember that sports race thing in one of Decade's shorts? They recreated it with the Reiwa Riders. It's absolutely hilarious, recommend watching it if you have five minutes to spare.

Also, this has English subtitles, surprisingly enough.

This'll be interesting to both Zero-One fans and those interested in suit management: an article on how suits were and were not retooled and how new forms used parts of older suits, mainly situated on Zero-One inspired suits.

Since Legend is a next gen Decade, how will Legend have himself a secondary rider? Will it be male, female or genderless?

Can it use dark riders & kaijins?

I realized that the last three riders of the show, besides the letter G, have something else in common. Namely, increased attention to food. Gavv has a main theme of snacks, Gotchard had an additional Gotcha to cook a very tasty dish and Geats just had a lot of food scenes.

Here's how I picture Legend's secondary rider as I could see a genderless route for this one.

Since Legend has Chemies, could see the secondary rider use Gochizos. Otherwise they'll use Chemy Ride Cards too.

You ASSUME a lot. There has been NO WORD whatsoever about Legend past the show. Why would you assume that this character is going to go past this show? Much less have a Secondary Rider?

I, for one, would love to see Legend never appear again. Awful character and a lot of the old suits are in no shape to be brought out for use in his fight scenes.

I'm personally not against Legend reappearing in the future, but I really hope it won't be to the extent they made Decade reappear. That would not be gorgeous.

Been feeling nostalgic lately and going through Kamen Rider Gaim (which I binged back when Ex-Aid was airing and was the first Kamen Rider series i watched). I decided to go through the discussion threads to see how people reacted to the show as it aired and, let me say, these quotes aged hilariously hahaha.

(Both were from episode 4.)

Never mess with The Urobutcher.

This might've been discussed already, but I've been catching up on Gotchard in-between episodes of Gavv, and I've been really impressed by the visual storytelling in the Malgams' designs. The monsters in so many other seasons, despite having different aesthetics, all follow the same basic design pattern of "humanoid version of whatever their theme is." For example, most animal-themed monsters, from the Shocker cyborgs to the few animal-themed Jyamato, all have the animal's head for a head, the animal's forelimbs for arms, etc. etc.

But the Malgams are different. The Chemies they're themed on are attached to them in painful-looking contortions, tied in place with strips of the base body, and with the base body's extra arms either holding the Chemy or restrained in uncomfortable-looking positions themselves. Even when they do have the Chemy's head for a head or its forelimb for an arm, it's always twisted or tied somehow.

I just think the designer (Takato Yamashita, according to the wiki) did a really brilliant job visually showing that the Malgams are combinations of two separate beings, and furthermore, that there's something deeply wrong about them.

If Shouma can generate Gochizo from snacks, what's gonna happen if he eats a Helheim fruit? Would he turn into an Inves-human-Granute hybrid or something? Would a Lockseed pop out? What on earth is considered a snack anyway?

I?m going to give the show the benefit of the doubt that there?s a scientific explanation behind how Shouma?s digestive system works here and guess that it has to with the amount of processing that a food goes through. He seems to be able to fully digest meat, grain, and vegetables, but more highly processed foods seem to have elements that can?t be absorbed and are excreted in the form of Gochizos.

By that logic then all Shouma needs to do to get stronger is to go to America and eat a bunch of stuff. The amount of Gochizos he'd produce would be enough to let him take on the entire Granute World lol.

By the way, I wonder if wagarashi-based gochizo will appear in the show. It’s just that so far all the existing and future gochizo are based on factory sweets and among them there are no desserts created from home and/or cafes. Considering the activities of the Stomatch family, it is possible that they initially add an element to the sweets that provokes the production of gochizo in Shoma. Remembering the words of the unlucky robber Sujimoto about the fact that sweets should be eaten in a special mood, perhaps in ordinary people these additives can cause a stronger euphoria from sweets, which, in turn, makes them potential victims of Granuts.

A wagashi form or rider is something I have been hoping for ever since the show was announced. It would be a waste not to do either one.
(Just wanted to point out a correction, wagarashi is Japanese for mustard powder. :lolol)

We need a Kabuto anniversary movie soon! Kagami as the new Kabuto after Tendou & a new Gatack takes over.

Featuring new riders: tarantula, mantis & butterfly! Why? King-Ohger!

How would you all envision the story?

Would be nice to get Tendou to return. He and Hibiki's actor are the only ones who have never come back post series.

Not sure if this belongs here, but the "General Tokusatsu Thoughts" thread has seemingly vanished.

Apparently there's a new Armor Hero show in the works:

The Transformation device looks... extremely familiar, as well as the collectables that go with it. The person who posted this apparently found this stuff on Bilibili, so I'm gonna go deep diving and see what else might be there

Cool, even if this show most likely won`t get translated. The transformation device really looks like someone decided to combine their favorite parts from the late Heisei riders, but the result is still gorgeous.
