Episode 25 of Kabuto was the first episode of Kamen Rider I watched (as long as you don't count the Black RX footage from Saban's Masked Rider, or that clip I saw of X fighting Hitler Starfish). I didn't know what the hell was going on, but I knew I'd found something that was special. I'd been obsessed with Guyver from the age of 10 all the way into my late teens (which was tough, because very little in the way of merch for Guyver, which is a big way I enjoy a show/movie/comic, buying figures and playing video games related to said IP). After all the years of wishing there was more Guyver, it's like I'd found it's dad or something. Rider wasn't quite as brutal or violent, but it made up for it by being flashy and sometimes very funny. I was instantly hooked.
