Yeah, I mean, when you put it like that, Ghost is definitely up there with Kuuga as one of the all-time classics, right alongside Wizard! :p

The thing about Grongi is that it's actually pretty simple, which is what I love about iit, but I've never felt quite nerdy enough to commit any of it to memory, which is how I know I'm not actually the biggest Kuuga fan out there.

When I was going through all that behind-the-scenes type stuff prior to making my thread, there was a little panel with a bunch of the Grongi actors to promote the Blu-ray release of the show, and they could still remember some of their lines phonetically, which impressed me. Some people in the audience could also translate those lines back into Japanese on the spot, which impressed me, AND the actors.

I like how so far all the Reiwa series are using the classic Shocker trooper design and adapting it for each season's aesthetic.

Just a trivia, I forgot to write this before, but there seems to be a very coincidental yet appropriate stuff in W; between 2 men who love Fuuto; Shotaro Hidari and Kirihiko Sudo. Shotaro's last name Hidari means 'left' (as W's left side), and in Indonesia, 'left' means 'kiri', which is also the first 4 letters of Kirihiko's name. They unknowingly have already made other similarity between them other than loving Fuuto.

So after posting something about how Kamen Rider X and Ultraman X have similarities in the Obvious Realization thread, I discovered that Kamen Rider X in the TV and Manga differ a bit. So here's my question to you all. Which version of Kamen Rider X do you think is better and should have one of the two been the universal rendition of it?

The TV version does give it a more grounded look but the manga version personally does help the costume feel less dull and gives it that Showa toku hero flair in my opinion thanks to the addition of more color.

Tv version for me. Way too many colors happening in the manga colors.

I do wonder now, what if the manga color scheme was used as a way of differentiating regular X and maybe a temporary power-up version of X much like how Stronger differs when he has his temp power-up.

Since some people agreed that Saber is going uphill after eps 14 or 20, is there any turning point for Ghost since i see sime people here said that they love Ghost?

Or is it that kind of “if you like it from the begining, then you’ll like it till the end”?

For me it's more or less this. I think I might have started realising a lot more things about it around episode 6 but during this entire rewatch I've loved what it's had to offer since the start

Oh, uh, wow. WOW. That is a lot! I haven't seen X yet (very soon...) so I can't say for sure if one works better for what X is, but yeah uh I'm just gonna go with the TV version here. Maybe red boots alone (or red boots and gloves) would have worked, but the manga version as a whole? A bit cluttered!

Ghost is always just Ghost. You either hate it or you’re very forgiving of it’s many, many, many flaws.
