The thing I love best about the Henshin sequence is how its very simple formula requires the directors and editors to bring something original to the table every single episode, and usually in a charmingly comedic way. (Maybe even multiple times per episode!) Like, there's plenty of cool poses and catchphrases and Ore whathaveyous throughout the many Kamen Rider series, but I like this one for how someone's gotta come up with a visual gag, rather than some dynamic edit or ballsy cut. Like, even the point of the Henshin is to be fun. This goddamn show!
