Kamen Rider Drive Episode 12: Where Did The White Rider Come From?"
 

A new challenger approaches! Will he be friend or foe?!

...well that was flashy.

I didn't understand a word, but it was great. Mach is amazing. The preview was perplexing, and given the toy gimmicks I'm confused lol. Definitely need to see this subbed before I say it's excellent.. but all.. signals bend that way!

Cool and crazy episode again. Mach is kinda... err... flashy xD
Also, shirtless Heart. For whatever reason. o_O

I love how absurd this new jack is.
It is like they took Accel and Beast inside some fusion chamber and melded them into one.

so what's with drive vs mach fighting all about? seriously cant we have one show that there's no rider vs rider fighting accept for the really bad ones.

Birth didn't fight OOO until much later, and even then he was faking the betrayal. Plus I don't think Hibiki's guys fought each other.

And they added a bit of Gaim. For the backflips and stuff.

Hibiki.

I hears that Mr. Belt or Rinna didn't invented Mach's stuff, it was a guy named Harley Hendrickson, He is an american scientist who invented Mach's belt and Signal Bike.

I interested in this american guy. Maybe he might appear at some later episodes I guess.

I find Gou a bit too goofy, I like him action but he is a bit too goofy for me sure it is meant to contrast with Shinnosuke but maybe I will get used to him later.

Good lord. Gou's even more goofy than Beast and Fourze combined.

I hope we do get Mach to be more seriously over on, I have liked some of the goofy characters in prior series but Gou is a bit too much.

As someone who hasn't seen the episode yet, these comments make me very, very nervous.

I wouldnt put Gou even remotely in the same category as Nitou. Gou is a very showy person and as a Rider hes acting more like a circus performer. Nitou was just a complete idiot.

I can see what you mean know having watched the episode with subtitles, this episode in general feels alot more goofier especially after the previous episode.

Nitoh eventually became pretty damn awesome, though. Maybe the same thing will happen with this guy...

Nitoh had his moments during the last couple of episodes and I really like him in the movies but for most of the series he was just a brainless idiot :lol

Not really. The only effective thing Nitou ever did was destroy his belt. In terms of actual usefulness he's only marginally less worthless than Delta.

Which was because there were some writers working on Wizard who didn't hate to add another rider and tried to make him an actual character and not something that has to be in there because Bandai said so.

Thank god we won't have that problem with Mach because Sanjou has no problem with having more than one rider.

Come on guy! Mach will be not useless character because with his brother-sister relationship with Kiriko, he will not be pointless character like Nitou.

If Accel and Mach team up, Accel will probably get annoyed by Mach because he doesn't like being question or probably find his jester more annoying.

Okay, It's like saying Drive is Spider-Man and Mach is Deadpool (except he's not too crazy)

I'm not a guy and I said the exact opposite of what you thought I said.

I'm sorry.

Mach is one showy rider I like him already

I spent the past day trying to understand why Mach sounds like MAH HAH.

Anyway on to the episode, oh my god he does so many backflips and I really like how flashy he is, one person said that he reminded them of Dick Grayson. Although I'm not seeing what he brings to the plot atm as he's very very showy and it's quite a stark contrast to how Drive usually is but at the very least he's really enjoyable to watch and of course he's a rider WHO IS A RIDER!!

Also multiple scientists working on rider gear, that's an interesting concept and I'd like to see where they go with that, it'l be too much of an asspull if they don't explain it at one point.

What exactly do you mean?

If you mean how they pronounce his name on the show that because Mach in Katakana is written as マッハ - Mahha.

Yep. Can't complain.

So for those curious, the Gunman Roidmude was acted by Bernard Ackah who was Cait Sith Phantom in Wizard. He was a owarai talent once in the past and has recently debuted as a pro-wrestler in Japan(he has also had a gig in mma and kickboxing years prior). And it seems like he was born in Germany.

I remember that guy. Why am I not surprised he's a wrestler? Now I can't wait for subs!

I thought that guy looked familiar, it is interesting seeing different actors from other series in different roles but I feel even though he was a small time monster he has a bit more character when he appeared in wizard.

Also hype over actual new insert theme in Drive.

I am not surprised about him being a mma fighter and wrestler. I am baffled that he seems to be the only foreigner in the neo hesei kamen riders I may be missing some but he is the only one I have seen

Subs are out

Wow that guy's annoying as hell. I really hope they work on him, although I don't see it happening as of now. He isn’t even funny like Nitoh was, he's just plain annoying.

His fighting is also quite meh. Weakest part about the show for me so far.

After watching it again I would agree to this, Gou is not great for me so far, I have enjoyed all the other secondary rider intros more than Gou's intro.

Also it bugs me that during Gou's first fight we have Shinnosuke do nothing but watch.

Well it does look like he'll add a a new element to the show next week and we get more Chase so that's good, maybe it does work out. But it was a really poor introduction IMO.

So Gou is basically Yuuya Sakaki as a rider? I can live with that as long he gets more involved with the plot later on.

Gou remind me of Deadpool because that one scene where Gou break Shinnosuke's scene with his hammer.

Deadpool is a fan-favorite because he is notorious for breaking the fourth wall and I think Gou become Deadpool of Kamen Rider.

The difference is between Gou and Deadpool is Deadpool like to kill people for fun while Gou does not kill people.

Both of them tease main character (Deadpool tease Spider-Man and Gou tease Shinnosuke)

what does Deadpool got that Gou does not have?

Why everyone love Deadpool (except he got some hate by Deathstroke fans) while people complain about Gou?

I solve this chase!

Great. On animebaka, it keeps on buffering and I can't watch it no more.

Don't worry, Watch it on Henshin Fever! Facebook.

Just watch it.

That help you out?

My guess to this is that most people are familiar with Deapool's shenanigans while no one had an idea what Gou would be like and how he is might have rubbed people the wrong way given how over the top he is.
