Whell...the verdict in my book is in.

Best Rider Series Evah.*

That's just my book. Just from the second episode. It's literally so much fun, I've started to forget all about Fourze and Wizard. Which is sad because I liked them too. But this...is just awesomesauce with pineapple dressing.

*Note: Does not include any series that starts with Kamen Rider. Consult your lock seed for directions and pulpiness.

Also, I have to say two things, first I'll be pulped if the Subber working on the release didn't get that out in a time machine. That was FAST. Like Clock Up fast.

Second: I'm curious about why they're calling him Armored Rider, rather than Kamen. I know, I know, semantics. But it would make sense to the final episodes of Wizard where he didn't realize he was a Kamen Rider. EDIT: Read some back pages, and that makes sense, Beat Riders, versus Armored Riders.

Kids still need to learn to dance, but Baron is teh awesome.

Like I'm thinking, Armoured Rider may warp into Kamen Rider. Maybe once he finds "Armoured" too threatening, imposing, or just to set himself apart.

Since we're getting those new Energy Riders later I think they'll probably keep Armored Riders. Who knows, there may be more sub groups of riders too. Since Beat Riders are your standard whoever people with Locks, the Armored Riders are Beats with actual fighting suits, and the Energy Riders "juice" the Locks to create their powers I'm not sure that we'll see the term Kamen used outside of crossover movies :(

Wizard strayed away from it too, but hell Wizard strayed away from even calling him "Wizard" proper unless it was in movies. The first instance of the English term "Wizard" being used is in the Ultimatum film, and that's only when the Akumaizer use it. Otherwise the Japanese term "mahouski" was used in series. Seemingly not giving him his proper title. Perhaps Gaim will repeat this process?

I guess it makes sense.

There's not really a reason to call him a Kamen Rider. There's a hell of a lot more defining features before the fact that he wears a mask.

They used it so much I just assumed that Mahouski was the japanese word for Wizard. It's weird though. Kamen Rider was used alot in Fourze, like every episode four times an episode, to the point they called their club The Kamen Rider club. But then Wizard and Gaim.. and no one even hints it really.

It does basically. It roughly means magician.

I like that they don't use the name "Kamen Rider" in the show anyway, because I really enjoy those moments where they pass the title down to each other in crossover stuff.

Was OOO ever called a Kamen Rider?

Once, I think. When Birth showed up.

And now, a calm, rational response to Kamen Rider Gaim Episode 2.

Kamen Rider Gaim: Episode 2: When the pulp hits the fan.

YES.

It's like they said "hey we've got a bunch of evil Captain Marvelous coats from the Go-buster x Gokaiger movie. Lets use those! Totally agreed.

And if it weren't for Magiranger, we wouldn't have learned that mahoski meant wizard or magician (technicalities). Because they said it in every other sentence.

Also..... is it just me or is she sooooooooo hoooooottt....?
