Super-1 Episode 7: Loved this episode a lot because Kazuya was rescuing people rather than having to escape. I love how he uses a lot of different special attacks, science, and skill to beat his opponents. Also liked him sneaking into Dogma's base too. Also it was cool to see Dogma just recruit someone and turn them into a monster because the guy just wanted power. A Martial Artist Rider who wanted to become a cyborg, I love Super-1 for lots of reasons.

With great power comes great responsibility. Anyway, what did Takatora show Micchy? Well, we've got Helheim, Yggrasdil, so maybe the NÃ*ðhöggr? or the Hræsvelgr? Kouta is becoming one of my favorite main Riders, he's one of the most heroic main Riders we've ever gotten. Jinba Lemon looks...eh. The mango Inves looked pretty cool, though.

EDIT: Gaim 17:

Holy taking the third option Batman! First Oren, now Micchy? I felt that sequence kind of killed the tension. We were having a serious, dramatic scene, then all of the sudden we get the Oren Lock Seed...ok? I don't get why They never showed Kouta whatever Takatora showed Micchy back when they were captured. If Micchy joined Yggdrasil because of that, then I'm sure Kouta would would have as well...if not Kaito as well.

Black RX 16.

Okay, so I was wrong: this isn't a trilogy. There's at least one more part of this story next time, along with the introduction of Bio Rider. We also did get slightly more of an explanation of where the alternate forms come from, but it's still a total ass-pull. This storyline is great, though. Crisis's princess is accidentally killed in a lab accident, so Maribaron kidnaps a bunch of little girls in order to brainwash a replacement. Kotaro ends up having to chase them into the Demon World and we get a lot of great fight scenes, some very good drama, some great monster designs, and relatively little annoying Sahara family. This arc is definitely the highlight of the show so far and I'm really loving it.

Must... not... say... anything!

What? That Takatora is going to do what I wanted him to do and show Kouta Helheim's secret? You know Takatora...you could've done that BEFORE beating him so badly that he un-henshined!

Maybe he was using power to back up his argument? :o

He didn't do it with Micchy.

Anyway, about to start episode 20 now.

But, first! Episode 19:

When I saw Duke, I said to myself: "It's Sengoku isn't it?" and it was :lol Anyway, it was really good. What is this whole thing of "Who will Helheim choose"? and something I forgot to mention earlier...I find it interesting how the Sengoku Driver like the Double Driver, in that it acts as a filter to whatever is put in it.

Black Episode 4
Is it just me, or does the Black theme sound like it could be used by Batman?

Man we ain't messing around with this episode! Getting straight to the action, and right on the road to! And good lord was that a cool way to hit the Rider Chop.

So how exactly did he come up with the name Kamen Rider? Series name aside, how exactly did Kotaro come up with the Kamen Rider part? In fact how do must riders come up with that part of their name? Is it just one of those toku contrived coincidences?

Flea mutants? Good God those things are going to be a bitch to defeat. Fleas are like cockroaches, except a bit weaker and more annoying.

Yes! Run away from the...old guy? Oh never mind it's one of the Gorgom members.

Yes because a known side effect of steroids is causing rapid hair growth.

Kotaro knows this guy? And he can just walk right into the pit? Man security must not be that tight in Japan for motorcycle races.

Look I know he's the bad guy, but you don't. Why would you be getting antsy because he's equipping on a hand and eye device to help him do his work? That just seems something fairly weird and slightly dumb to get worked up over.

Now you can get worked up and be scared shitless.

Oh so Kotaro was taught by him. Okay so that explains the chumminess. But I still wanna know how Kotaro was just able to waltz right into the pit.

Because winning a lot of races as of late is obviously a work of Gorgom. Okay it is but once again, why would Kotaro be uneasy about this? He couldn't think that perhaps Hayami just simply trained and got better?

Now you can be concerned Kotaro.

How exactly do you know that it'll be effective on Kotaro. You only tested it on Hayami, whose just a regular Joe. Kotaro is a super human. Yes Hayami was enhanced some to be faster, but outside of increased speed he's still pretty normal. Just because it worked on him does not mean it'll necessarily work on Kotaro. You know, the super powered human.

OH MY GOD! He's turned into a hairier Wolverine!

Now he's a werewolf! The makeup is actually pretty nice looking. Nothing to great but better then some other werewolf makeup I've seen.

By the way, Flea Mutant is really ugly looking. Ugly in a good way though. The design isn't bad at all, by ugly I mean that for a mutant flea it comes of as ugly, which it should being a mutant bug and all.

Huh turns out it is effective on Kotaro. Of course! Oh...never mind. Kotaro looks to be okay.

Well episode 4 was pretty nice. My only gripe with the episode is that some of the characters acted a little too stupid at times. Outside of that it was a nice episode.

Well, considering that Micchy is his little brother there was an established relationship between the two of them so all Takatora needed to do was give Micchy an explanation as to why he does what he does. He then allowed Micchy to make his own choice of what to do.

Kouta on the other hand needed a bit more convincing what with Zangetsu being a rather huge threat and nearly traumatizing Kouta for life after the two met in Helheim. If Takatora merely explained the threat to Kouta with no demonstration of how outmatched he was Kouta would've simply shrugged the whole thing off as complete BS and not even give what Takatora said a second though... That's how I took it anyway. :lol

He doesn't want to, though.

The less people that know, the better.
