Subs for the D-Video Special: Kamen Rider 4 are out on TV-Nihon if anyone is interested. It's an okay special, nothing too extravagant but a decent-ish/okay watch.

Well, I found it very interesting for a special. Time loops stories are always a bit difficult to handle, and this one is no exception, it has its flaws, but it also has very good parts in some aspects.

Ok, so I finally got to watch this. I liked it. But my one question is, and I've never gotten an answer for this, where did Zeronos get the rib armor? I haven't watched Den-O yet, I don't care about spoilers. Someone please tell me!!

Assuming you mean red, that's... um... the form name that I can't remember at the moment (Google says it's Zero Form, which doesn't sound right but is apparently true).

Whatever it's called, it's his third and arguably strongest form. It's hard to explain how this works without completely spoiling everything about Yuuto, so here goes (seriously, this is big, you may just want to watch the show): Yuuto Sakurai was once engaged to Ryotaro/Den-O's sister. About a year prior to the start of the series he vanished and everyone seemed to forget he ever existed. Partway through the series a new, younger guy shows up claiming to be Yuuto - this would be Zeronos. It turns out he's Yuuto from the past, brought forward in time to help fight the Imagin. Every time he transforms he erases somebody's memories of the older Yuuto which, because of how time travel works in Den-O, means that once all of his transformation cards are gone, the older Yuuto will disappear. Later on the cards start running low, but Yuuto gets access to red cards that turn him into Zero Form. The catch is that using these cards erases memories of the younger Yuuto. Technically, at this point Zero Form should be the only one he should be able to use, but nobody involved with these movies gives a damn about canon.

Thank you. And yes I meant red. Although how the hell red became rib is a complete and total mystery to me.
So basically he's erasing himself from history? Interesting.

I finally got around to watching this. I actually found it to be pretty entertaining, certainly not as bad as everyone thinks. (I give it some forgiveness for being a Kamen Rider team-up movie)

I really liked Sangou and his henshin. The TriCyclone was pretty neat, too. Having Yuuto and Deneb return was nice, but I wish Deneb had more screen time. I also really liked the moment when Garren said Kenzaki's name; it felt like a nice, natural callback to the series. Ninninger was really forced and unnecessary, though.

One thing I really liked was that they still used the bell/jingle sound effect for Hibiki's drum sticks (Ongeki Kou?). Hibiki is one of my favorite series, so it was nice to hear that sound again.

Kamen Rider movies never care for continuity. I find it best not to think about it too much. :lol

:lol

I don't know why I find this hilarious, but I do. :lolol
