Dracula, perhaps? You know, the novel/book that cemented vampires in the popular culture?

The fact that was a completely serious remark about vampires tells me two things:

1.humanity is worse off than I thought

2.this is not someone I will ever interact with unless desperate

Everyone knows dracula, dracula is the big fucking cheese of vampires, bela lugosi, christopher lee; THAT dracula. A ruthless, manipulative monster who will rip your fucking jugular vein out if you give him a chance.

We are supposed to be NERDS on this damn site, get it together people!

Dracula? I'm pretty sure Castlevania was the first thing to have vampires. Don't know what this dray-cool-ah is.

hey remember how kiva's costumes were so poorly designed and heavy they nearly killed the suit actor

The suit was just really uncomfortable and put a lot of extra strain on Takaiwa's back. He also hated the Double suit because it pinched and constricted his body.

So much wasted potential, such a shame they haven't redone it.

Inoue deserves to be rider kicked in the face for every show he has butchered

His recent work is Sword Gai in case you interested.

Even if Kiva's suit wasn't terrible for the actor wearing it, it confuses me in its conception. Kiva is based on a vampire, so you'd expect something more elegant and perhaps even thinner than most Riders as vampires tend to be portrayed in media; but instead it's probably the bulkiest main rider suit.

I will say though I really like the helmet design, especially when the super form makes the bottom edges of the eyes into fangs. It's really well done.
