KAMEN RIDER CLUB MEETING – QUIZ: KAMEN RIDER URBAN LEGENDS!! EPISODE 05



I felt a little bad for JK in this one, because the actor is clearly a fan of Showa stuff, and yet the audience he’s presenting to is just there for a professional obligation. Like, they’re all doing their jobs while having fun – no one seems annoyed, or grumpy, but they would definitely not being doing this if Toei wasn’t employing them to do it. But JK’s little presentation… it comes across like he genuinely thinks this is cool, and the other six kids have this look in their eyes like Dude Can We Move On Already. It’s hard to be a fan on these obligatory quiz shows, I guess!

It’s easy to be Ryuusei, though, because his stuff was clearly filmed well after these quizzes, and the quizzes were probably filmed well before Ryuusei had even been cast, so he's just doing one generic thing. (The tells are that Ryuusei never comments on the specific questions or answers, while Miu’s hair is way shorter in these quizzes than it is for the corresponding Ryuusei arc episodes.) It’s not a huge deal, or anything positive or negative, but I like how it reveals a little bit about how these pieces of bonus content are put together.

You might think that last paragraph was dull, but I assure you that JK would’ve thought it was fascinating!
