It is so difficult to not appreciate how amazingly, beautifully stupid Showa Toku can be sometimes. Random Bat Kaijin (which there's like billions of, by the way! Using the bat motif monster has the mook... neat) fails to kill Black on the motorway, very next scene after the title card is discount Dr. Doom telling him he's worthless and that he must feel shame, and then there's no other punishment as said bat kaijin just disappears upwards and the evil generals proceed to be extremely respectful about Black's name change while vowing to kill him.











I don't know why I love this scene so much, it's just so... wonderfully inconsequential and pointless. I haven't even gotten past two minutes yet because I desperately needed to comment on this so for all I know it might have some bearing on this episode yet, but right now it just looks like Kamen Rider Black took out the first two minutes of the episode to establish nothing. I LOVE this.
