KAMEN RIDER CLUB MEETING – QUIZ: KAMEN RIDER URBAN LEGENDS!! EPISODE 07



Even though this is technically the conclusion of the first phase of Quiz episodes – with Gen being the last of the Legendary 7 Rider( Club Member)s to host an episode – we’re more visibly in Phase 2 for these Quiz specials: The College Team, in their new fashions! Miu’s longer hair! Other things that I definitely noticed because I’m not alarmingly focused on Miu to the exclusion of virtually anything else happening in this series and its associated media why would you say that maybe YOU just don’t appreciate Miu enough!!! The show clearly filmed these in two blocks of six, and other trivial, non-Miu details (like actually seeing Ryuusei on the monitor for a brief transition) bear it out.

There’s also a little more team energy to the proceedings? Not in the faux-competitive way we’re used to, like with Shun’s boastful dopeyness and Tomoko’s on-point poutiness, but in how all seven actors are comfortable enough around each other to both really invest in this concept, and also sort of hint that they’d like to get it over with as efficiently as possible – Gen is not dancing around during Thinking Time, and JK opts to change their team’s answer so that everyone can blissfully avoid a run-off Lightning Round. (And on the Stronger quiz! Come on, JK, you’re better than that!) They’re all seasoned pros by now, and they can have fun while still treating this like a job.

The most important thing, though (maybe in the 40-year history of Kamen Rider) is that Miu successfully and immediately guessed the name of Tackle’s bike, and that’s what I want us all to celebrate today.
