Finally made it all the way through Shin.

Well, hmmmm....

So this supposed to be a deconstruction, right? On that level, I feel like it fails pretty hard, as the only thing I would say is truly more realistic is the fact that the organization that makes the Rider has thew cover of being a legit corporation. Everything else just feels the stereotypical 90's idea of what "dark" and "adult" meant. And for what it is, it's kind of a neat alternate take on Kamen Rider.

Personally, I think the way to do a Kamen Rider deconstruction is to keep the corrupt corporation angle (but have it be called "Shocker") and have all his modifications be internal. The costume would be just that. A costume. A suit of armor the guy builds to protect his identity and match similar armors that the Shocker cyborgs would wear. And the setup is that he has to clear his name and expose Shocker for what they really are. That's probably just my love of G.I. Joe Renegades talking, though.
