So, it turns out that the guy from Amazons is a bad guy. Who’da thunk it?

And I mentioned a while ago that the Planarian Stamp was based on Chaser. So I’ll follow that up by revealing that the Chameleon Stamp is based on Mach.

And now, some minor casting trivia.



This episode marks the first appearance of Sakura’s friends from school (like every character in high school fiction, she only has a few non-main character friends who seldom appear). Two of them are notable in that one is a Russian supermodel and one is a former idol.

And now, back to my recurring gimmick of sharing memes from Zero-One and Saber.



Translation:

Lovekov: Kov!

Sakura: Love-chan! Love-chan, are you okay? (Sees the legs) Love-chan, hang in there.

And now for something completely different.

Olteca: This is Olteca’s and

Kudo: Yasushi Kudo’s…

Both: Deadmans Vistamp Navi

Olteca: Before we get on with our red wedding, We’re taking over this segment so that we can discuss my Vistamp.

Daiouika!

Deadmans Up! Fleeting ink? Ain’t it big? Giant Squid!

Olteca: This Vistamp transforms me into the Daiouika Deadman, with the power of prehensile tentacles that give me total control over my territory.

Kudo: I suppose this is also based on a past Kamen Rider.

Olteca: How pass?. I have my own brand of legend who I take inspiration from.

(He takes out and activates a Gaia Memory)

Shinigami-Hakase!



Olteca: Dr. Shinigami, real name Ivan Tawanovitch, Shocker’s Master Monster Creator who sought to find a way to transcend death through replacing the body. Sent from the Swiss branch to Japan to deal with Kamen Rider Hayato Ichimonji. During his transfer to Europe, he remodelled himself into the ultimate monster, Ikadevil to defeat Kamen Rider Takeshi Hongou for destroying his experiments. However, the Rider found out his weak point and defeated him.



Kudo: Truly a pathetic man. If only he’d patented his work instead of relying on criminals, he might’ve succeeded in reviving the dead. Now then, is it my turn?

Olteca: Well you don’t have a toy to show off… but you’re also not going to be with us for long, so I’ll let you discuss your stamps’ inspiration. (He hands a portfolio over to Kudo) All pilfered from the files of George Karizaki.



Kudo: The true form of the cursed witch Smilodon, Genshi Tiger, who is called the mother of the "Kiba clan". It is the ancestor of all the fierce beasts that reigned on the earth about 1 million years ago, and it is characterised by a face that makes you feel the atmosphere of the cat family and sharp fangs that protrude from the oral cavity. In battle, in addition to spitting out high-heat flames from the mouth, it attacks with sharp claws and fangs on the fingertips. In addition, it can ride a huge fang-shaped motorcycle-like machine that can continuously launch small missiles from the front. And there was also this guy

Hazami Jaguar: Scissors!



Kudo: Hazami Jaguar, the first monster created by Destron, who arose from the shadow of Shocker. In his human identity as a priest, he murdered the Kazami family after their son Shiro discovered Destron’s Atomic Bomb operation. However, the young man was transformed into a brand new Kamen Rider, V3. This new interloper’s interference led to Hazami Jaguar’s downfall, as he gave away his location and Destron’s operations. What a fool.

Olteca: Now now, we have to be cordial concerning the Catholic Church. They are backing us.

Kudo: Really?

Olteca: Why else do you think we have nuns on staff? The Protestants certainly don’t have any to loan.

Aguilera: (shooting from offscreen) Can you too stop flirting and just kill me already? It’s freezing in here and this dress has no sleeves.

Olteca: Of course. But we’ll have to wait until next time for the slaughter to begin. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Self production notes: Okay, not really a production note, but with the exception of Aguilera and the Planarian guy, all the Deadmans have an animal motif in common with a Showa monster. I’ll reveal more next time.
