BOARD has been annihilated, now Blade and Garren must pick up the pieces as they continue to battle the Undead and keep the Chief alive. Knowing now that it was BOARD higher ups that unsealed the Undead to discover the secret of eternal life, what will the riders do? As the Rider System threatens to take their very lives what else can they do but fight? Even among each other?

This is also your friendly weekly reminder that Tokunation wants to give you free things! The prize for this round of Let's Watch Wednsdays is none other than S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Blade! A secret secondary prize, as well as the method to win both will be kept secret until the final day of this LWW 16 weeks from now! So be sure to post in our weekly discussion thread and stick with us to find out both!

I know next to nothing about Blade. But the description above sounded so badass that I now know what I am doing tonight when I get off work.

I've seen a hand ful of Rider series but Blade pretty much might be in my top 3 already.

Still working on GTAV (nearly done) but it'll take me a day to catch up on these episodes when I am done.

Ah man, After rewatching this..... Tachibana has still kept his spot as my favorite blade rider, with Blade and Chalice tied for 2nd. I think its the fact that i dig crazy badass mofos in toku XD.

[Dr Kain]

This is one of those shows where I don't hate any of the riders, but Tachibana would be my least ranked of them.

Here's what I've got so far in the story from 1-3.


This is Tachibana, AKA Kamen Rider Garren. He is a researcher for BOARD/Humanity's Foundation who was fitted for the Rider System in order to battle to Undead. He's a mentor to Kenzaki, and unfortunately, has a problem where he want's to Hulk out, which I haven't quite figured out...ohhhhh...that's their version of becoming evil...right.


This is Kenzaki, AKA Kamen Rider Blade. So far he screams. A lot. We have learned that he was scouted for the Rider System to assist Tachibana. His family was killed when he was a young boy, and he's got some serious issues. That he has to scream about.


This is Hajime, AKA Kamen Rider Chalice. He speaks the language of the Undead, but why? And why does he have strange urges?


This is Sayoko, a nurse. She was Tachibana's girlfriend in college, and he comes to her for comfort from the haunting visions he has of turning evil.


This is Kotaro, he's an aspiring journalist, who has been researching the Riders, and the appearances of the Undead.


This is Haruka, she's the sister of Kotaro, and owns the Jacaranda Cafe. She lost her husband at an early age.


This is Amane, prerequisite cute kid of the series, and Haruka's daughter.


This is Hirose. She is one of Humanity's Foundation technicians. She managed to survive when BOARD was destroyed. She's attempting to find the Chief.

Next to her is the Chief. For someone in charge, who just had his whole operation destroyed in the first 25 minutes, he's not that good at his job is he? The chief doesn't do a very good impression of Obi Wan Kenobi, does he?

Watching the first three episodes I had a hard time trying to figure out where everyone's place is in the series, moreso for Tachibana and Hajime. Now after I've seen 4-6, it makes more sense since the Chief gives his spiritual synopsis of what the Undead are, and why the Riders exist in their world. It's just started to get interesting, with the shadow organization, and how Kenzaki is having to adapt fast to getting stronger against the Undead.

Chalice is a complete badass. I like his mix of weapon and card system.

Amane though in episode 5 I felt was actually annoying. She didn't need to get herself in the danger she was in, and Kenzaki kind of got his butt kicked for no reason other than to make Tachibana feel better about himself. Got yourself some selfish supporting characters there Blade.

A) The whole hulking out thing represents the way he feels about his body/health, he thinks he's dying due to the rider system.

B) at Kenzaki screaming.

C) He also likes milk, a lot.

[Matrixbeast]

Amane's actions in episode 5, I felt, was to establish her as Hajime's morality pet.

Doesn't change that it was a stupid ass decision, but she's, like, 8 or something.

Still, is it wrong that I giggle when I see him turning green and exploding?

Yeah, forgot the milk.

Yeah, with two grown adults who (self admittedly in the show) state that they should have known better. I do like the title of "morality pet" for her.
