Well this is the earliest I’ve ever showed up to one of these threads.

Anyway, my running thing for this thread will be to discuss the similarities between this show’s riders and their inspirations (and also share comments I made on the episodes and movie online when I watched this show for the first time).

Kamen Rider Kabuto - Kamen Rider Stronger. (Beetle)

Both are the 7th Riders of their respective eras.

Both have something of an ego.

Both have a fairly prickly relationship with their co-stars (Tackle/Kagami)

Both refuse to associate with the main benefactor for other Riders (Tachibana/ZECT).

And also

ZECTroopers/AriCommandos. (The henchmen for Neo-Shocker from the 1979 Kamen Rider) (Ants).

Both are primarily black.

Both are disposable cannon fodder.

And that’s all I can say about those without getting too spoiler-y.

Anyway one thing I’d recommend with this series is watching the scenes that come after the “next time” trailers for some episodes.
