And Battle Hooper ? no, just no. They completely massacred my boy. Unforgivable.

I'm gonna give the show a chance for sure, but the designs don't work for me.

The thing is that the show is what drastically changed the design. Kamen Rider Black, the manga, as penned by Ishinomori, followed a design principle closer to todays SIC line. The show is what diverged from that design and essentially sanitized it for mass appeal. Black Sun seems like more of a love letter to Ishinomoris original vision, at least as far as the design goes. Being the anniversary and all, it makes sense.

Wish Foreign fans could back Black Sun on its crowdfunding site to get that sweet updated DX Kingstone henshin belt.
