I agree!

This time, we explore two Riders who lost their families to a Kaijin, and became Riders to seek justice.

Kamen Rider V3 (1973)

Kamen Rider Accel (2010, Kamen Rider W)

Who is the more badass Vengeance Seeker?

Ryuki fan for life...so femme gets my vote.

V3 fights for Vengeance while riding his Motorcycle

Accel fights for Vengeance & is his Motorcycle

Switchblade · 06-09-2012, 10:39 AM

That is not even slightly a contest. I like Accel and all, but come on, man, it's Kazami effing Shiro, the baddest mother of the entire Showa era.

Accel is cool and all, but of the snippets I've seen of V3, I can understand why Narutaki liked it so much.
Going with V3.

Okay; we have a guy parading around as a neon forest green, red, and white locust on a motorcycle, with a lot of "secret" moves, some of which he never uses, against a guy who has the ability to become his own motorcycle and make RED LEATHER PANTS look like the epitamy of awesome.

Do I even need to say it? Accel.

I'm talking about the cold opening. You go into the show and the first thing you see is a guy in a tube, a flying tiki witch of death, and the manliest of men get shot in the back by three bullets, a dork in shorts receiving The Man's torn white fedora of manliness, then have the two hide behind a stairwell, epically insert USB DRIVES INTO A BELT THAT LOOKS LIKE A TOY, triggering an explosion, and then a guy with glowing red insect-eyes standing in the midst of it, before you cut to one of the greatest opening themes in the history of awesome, epic, hard-boiled, and cookies. %$#@ING COOKIES.

How are you not hooked, especially when later on you see a volcano-man and a WALKING T-REX HEAD? Granted, I never really liked Akiko, and the CGI was sub-par, but look at everything I listed above. THIS IS ONLY THE OPENING SCENE. It doesn't even BEGIN to scratch the surface of W. Besides, you can't spell WIN without W.

Chichi yo haha yo imoto yo
