Yeaah, I realize that Stenchy - that's why in an earlier post I said that Showa Riders were tragic. However, it's not like anyone treated them like they were inhuman freaks of nature - they were cheered and the villains defeated. Kids wanna BE Kamen Rider, not mock their loss of humanity. Context. C'mon.

That would rule so hard

Kamen Rider Build (Construction?)

Kamen Rider Pain (Painting?)

Kamen Rider Roots (Gardening?)



Henshin Device for the Riders is the "World Driver."

The collectible gimmick items are known as "Material Bottles."

Build's main weapon is the SaibattoBlade.

Where did you hear this? That's even more confusing!
