I must've forgot about that carrying on to this as well. If they are keeping that part about their relationship being born on the same day and all, maybe Nobuhiko was in stasis while Kotaro aged away. Because both actors have quite the age difference. Or maybe Koraro aged rapidly due to some side effect that Nobuhiko doesn't have.

I assume Nobuhiko just stole Thouser's anti-aging cream

Another Trailer. The thing that makes me want to watch this is that amazing suit action, everything else, I'd have to wait and see.

So it seems that they were augmented as kids and sometime during what I assume are either the 70s or 80s the two riders and the core members of Golgom were acting as some sort of kaijin hero team. Decades later Nobuhiko didn't age much while Kotaro did, and Kotaro maybe finds out the ugly truth, let the battle begin. I do wonder if ShiraishI took notes from X-Men First Class, Watchmen, and Kamen Rider Kiva because the flashback scenes remind me of all that. And the theme song seems like it will be good. :rock:

We finally get some bike scenes, Rider fights, and more Kaijin!

Okay, this one has me properly excited: Black and Shadow Moon suits, the henshin pose, the Gorgom priests and their kaiju forms, friggin' Birugenia, the Satan Saber, the whale kaijin, Battle Hopper! My hype level for this has definitely shot up from "Oh yeah, this is happening" to "Inject it straight into my veins!"

Super cool.

Reminds me of that elaborate concept belt they had on display, crazy stuff.

Cool!

So... it looks like Black Sun has posted on Amazon Prime Video JP. But it's not available outside of Japan.

Do we have to wait until tomorrow, or is this not actually getting a worldwide release?

100% getting a worldwide release, it has been advertised multiple times and the videos on Amazon.jp have subtitles.

Might just take a little bit for it to be up on all regional services.

You're right, they're probably rolling it out once it hits 10/28 in every region. Just got a bit twitchy for a minute. Wouldn't be the first time Amazon mislead the world. :lol

The one thing I have going for myself, as a gift for missing out on all Kamen Rider home media releases: I am 6+ hours ahead of you guys.

I will come back once my "tomorrow" rolls around and report if I can see it.

CSM Century King Sun Driver

44,000 yen, release March 2023

The Century King Sun Driver reminds me of the motorized steampunk henshin belt showed at The Henshin expo back in 2019. I hope the motor sound isn't too loud in the final product, I also hope the weathering looks as good, or better, as the production samples shown.

44,000 Yen.... O_O Just take my money Bandai >_<

Nothing yet, but I'll wait and see.

So Toei lied about a worldwide release then from the looks of it. It's still only available at Amazon Japan.

It could be a scheduled release from Amazon Prime, seems like there are different release times based on region, it's not really Toei's fault. Anyway, I'd only start to get really upset if it doesn't show up by Saturday. I was really looking forward to binging it at midnight, but it's 5am here Pacific time and still not up on Amazon Prime.

I think I read somewhere about it being put online once it hits 9am specifically in each respective country.

I don’t think I've ever read anything about a simulations release, just that the show is exclusive to Amazon worldwide.

So potentially, it could come out later. I just don’t hope it's the "Amazons"-kind of later. Which was what, like 2 years after? :lol

I wouldn't worry too much though, again, the subtitles are already there. That seems deliberate to me, makes no sense otherwise.

I'll keep eagerly anticipating watching it...

I had to go in through imdb's link, but it's up and running for me (US, CST).

I don't have time to actually watch it right now because I have to get ready for work, but it's working.

Yup, works here in Germany too! I used the link on IMDB as well, directly me straight to the right page.

I don't know how to share the link directly, so just go to here and click the "Watch on Prime Video"-button.

Well, thank you Kiwami, I couldn't have done it otherwise (since they didn't link it on the main Prime page)

They’re really hyping up the belt. The original actor might have been involved in some capacity promoting the show if he didn’t also pull a stunt like super 1 actor. It’s nice that they made shadow moon a rider, but it also makes being a rider not as unique especially in a year with the main show Geats featuring dozens of them.
