I saw the other thread being brought and figured I'd be crazy for the new movie coming out. So instead of separating Showa, Heisei, and Neo-Heisei, this thread is for all your favorites together.

Of the entire franchise, past to present? Ugh, this is going to be a tough one.


Series: It's always hard for me to pick between Hibiki and Black. Hibiki at its best is better, but Black doesn't fall apart 2/3rds of the way through because Toei sacked the production team. Honestly, I waffle back and forth every time I ask myself this question. Today, though, I think I'll go with Black

Main Rider: This is the hardest one to narrow down, hands down. Hayato, Shiro, Keisuke, Kotaro, Yusuke, Shotaro, Haruto... it's really hard to just pick one. I guess if I were to close my eyes and think about who I imagine when I think of the abstract idea of "Kamen Rider," the most pure example that comes to mind is Kazami Shiro, Kamen Rider V3.

Secondary Rider: Getting to skip all the Showa series makes this a little easier, but there are still a few that I really have to pick between. In the end, though, it always comes back to the same answer: Makoto Hikawa, Kamen Rider G3-X.

Belt Gimmick: Everyday objects that turn into weapons or transformation devices, Kamen Rider 555

Rider Design:OOO TaToBa, really one of the best base suits ever.

Final Rider Form: King Form Blade. Best Rider suit ever.

Villain Group: Gorgom. These are getting easier.

Villain Design: The Ten-Headed Demon from Amazon. It may not be the coolest looking or best executed design, but what it lacks in style it more than makes up for in creativity.

Opening Song: As always, CHO HENSHIN! KAMEN RIDER KUUGA!!

Series' Score: Black. Black by a large, large margin. Not because the other shows have bad scores, but because Black's is so, so good.

[MaskedRiderAsakura]

Series: Ryuki
Main Rider: Shinji, Shotaro and Philip

Belt Gimmick: Ryuki's. I like the idea of using cards for some reason.
Rider Design: Knight, Ouja, Baron, Skull and TheBee
Final Rider Form: Knight Survive no questions asked
Villain Group: The Sonozaki Family. Dysfunctional as all hell lol
Villain Design: Ouja if we're including evil Riders. If not then Weather Dopant

Series' Score: Gaim. The score feels really epic, and not in the 12 year old definition of the word.

[Kamen Rider Lucha]

Series: Fourze

[Yellow Ranger]

[Locke]

Series: Kamen Rider OOO.

Main Rider: Kamen Rider Wizard.

Secondary Rider: Kamen Rider Birth.

Belt Gimmick: When A to Z introduced the idea of genetic synchronisation to the Memory's, suggesting that there is a Memory out there that truly defines you, I really liked that. It's surprisingly rare for there to be such a deep connection between Rider and Gimmick. Actually as far as I'm aware it's the ONLY time.

Rider Design: Meteor.

Final Rider Form: Accel Trial, the perfect upgrade for that Rider.

Villain Group: I guess the Greeed? I haven't really met a villain set in Rider that is really all that impressive to me.

Villain Design: White Wizard.

Opening Song: Don't really came about themes.

Series' Score: I've grown to love pretty much every score while watching a show. Would listen to none of them in my free time, though.
