Kamen Rider Die rewatches Kamen Rider Fourze

Switchblade · Today, 03:51 PM

Never watched these before and still haven't now. I'm actually impressed that they dragged Sonoda's actress back for these things given the complete lack of closure for the character on the show itself.

Despite my mostly neutralness on Fourze as a whole, one thing I can definitely give it is that it has my overall favorite set of Net Movies for any Rider show, with the Scorpion Lady shorts being the biggest highlight.

It had the sort of character development I'd been wanting out of alot of the characters in Fourze, as the added layer of of the titular Scorpion Lady seeing a bit of herself in Yuki leading to her being one of the characters I look more fondly on, and wishing that the shorts themselves had all made up their own episode within the show proper.

They are really gilding the lily with Tomoko in these Net Movies.

It feels incredibly weird, since (if memory serves) she doesn't come back for the movie? I think?

...I genuinely can't tell if you're doing this to me as a bit.

But, in case you aren't, I was a huge proponent of Sonoda getting more of an arc on the show, and I'd've felt a lot more warmly toward these scenes if they'd landed alongside, like Episode 7 or 8, rather than letting her identity be a secret until just before they booted her from the cast. Running up her anxiety alongside all the friendship stuff of the KRC -- specifically how isolated and manipulated Sonoda is by the Horoscopes -- would've been a very dramatic counterpoint. Alas!
