The explanation I always heard was that Psyga's actor couldn't speak Japanese effectively enough to be believable. I've also heard that's just an urban legend.

I really like this film. It's one of my favorites from this era of Rider. My favorite part is definitely the Takumi/Mari dynamic, which skews a lot more romantic here than it did on the show. My favorite part is always how Mari spends the first half hour of the film praising Takumi and wishing he'd come back, then within five minutes of his actual return they're back to the classic sniping at each other that we're so used to from the show. Never change, you two.

I also love how Mari decides to hold a masquerade ball right after the shanty town was trashed by Riotroopers and Kusaka got murdered. That is some Mai from Gaim-level lack of situational awareness.

This version of Kaido? This is probably my favorite. If you disagree with me then I'm leaving to join Smart Brain. You know, eventually. Just you watch.

Any minute now.
