I believe kuuga, Agito and Gills are fully body morph type henshins like most of the earlier part of the franchise, but I have to look it up.

Those of you who have seen Kamen Rider Shin likely know that is how the majority of riders up to Black actually transform, but yeah budgets.

Edit : Many of the various manga adaptions show them transform like Shin, however there are many that just have them go instantly into form
after yelling henshin, but officially at least most of the riders in the franchise body morph.

is it wrong that thing that irks me most...is that it's Edison as a hero? He was a horrible man in real life...I mean he electrocuted an elephant...I would have loved it being Tesla...

I don't think the elephant thing was ever confirmed and that might be an urban legend.

Actually it was public record. Edison helped electrocute an elephant that trampled people at a circus. At least I believe it was at the circus, or at the very least a fair grounds.

Yep, and it was the main focus of an episode of Bob's Burgers! Electric Love〜

I checked the Wikipedia page on Topsy and they have the VIDEO of the poor elephant being electrocuted.

Well, Edison had also made the kinetoscope so... Two birds?

Despite some of the bad things he done, he is the reason why technology exist today. Not to mention that everyone knows who he is even kids.

Still more of a hero than Billy the Kid.

And honestly, history is filled with complete pricks.
