I recently watched God Speed Love and King of Hell's Castle to finally bring my Kabuto and Kiva viewings to a close after all these years.

GSL was neat. It was a bit odd to see Yaguruma as TheBee again, but it made sense for the movie. I really call BS on how Drake died. Normal bullets shouldn't be able to penetrate Rider armor like that. Ketaros should probably go down as the worst death in Kamen Rider history. Going through reentry to fall all the way the ground. And as if the fatal fall wasn't bad enough, he hit some gas tanks causing a huge explosion. After seeing Caucasus in battle finally, I think he really got ripped off in the Battle Tournament. I'm not saying Hyper Clock Up is instant win, but the only time he isn't using it is when he not smacking your ass into the ground. Finally, I liked that the fact this movie is kinda canon due the Hyper Zector shenanigans at the end.

I rather enjoyed King of Hell's Castle. I thought the voice actor cameos of the Imagin was cool, because you finally get to see the men behind the mic. The Legendorga reminded me of what drew me to this series as Castlevania fan, the use of the classic monster designs. The family interactions were my favorite part. Seeing Wataru with Otoya and Megumi with Yuri was enjoyable, even if this movie isn't canon. The double IXA henshin was great. Reminded me of the Rook takedown across time in the series. The movie Rider designs were neat, but a bit too underused for my liking. Though Arc did make for a nice baddy at the end that was more than just a Rider. Also "Go to Hell!" and "Defense! Defense! Defense!" were random bits of humor I enjoyed.

Now, I just need to watch Final Countdown and I will have finally seen all of the Rider movies for the shows I've watched.
