KAMEN RIDER JEANNE & KAMEN RIDER AGUILERA WITH GIRLS REMIX - EPISODE 3
While there’s a heartfelt story here about Hana trying to save a lost and brainwashed woman in the same way that Sakura once saved her, and it’s genuinely good, I sort of can’t care too much about it. This is 100% my failing, and not the show’s. Show’s good! Show did a good job telling a different kind of story about Hana and Sakura! It’s just… all of the fan service, you guys. Sakamoto had my goddamn number on this one. Quote:
Like, Tsukuyomi alone showing up would make this thrilling for me. Everyone’s favorite overworked Time Mom, showing up late to a team-up because most likely Geiz did something colossally dumb, was a detail I had thankfully forgotten about in the year or so since this thing debuted. I love that she doesn’t completely know what’s going on or why she’s supposed to be there, but she showed up because she probably just wants to hang out with some ladies away from her Time Kids. This is like the Kamen Rider equivalent of a book club; instead of wine, it’s monster detonations.

But then we also get Kamen Rider Poppy tickling downed foes, and Kamen Rider Zero-Two artfully dodging attacks, and Kamen Rider Sabela slicing up dudes, and Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi Time Jacking a phalanx of mooks straight to Hell. We get Sawa kicking the kind of ass that only trained spies are capable of, Akiko stumbling through a successful defense, and Kanon reminding us all that her relationship with her brother Makoto has not grown even slightly more normal since the conclusion of their Saber adventure. And Lovekov finally shows up! And gets to launch a special attack with Aguilera on her back! And then the big fight with the final boss happens to Cherry-ish, the best song in all of Revice!

Like Saber Trio of Deep Sins, this one establishes how someone approaching you in a two-faced way should be looked in positive light regarding the brief and fabricated "warmth" they gave to convince you that it's genuine, uhh dunno about another move of giving villains a slap in the wrist outcome here.

Well, enough people have commented, time for part two of my post, featuring cast trivia and the skit for the movie.
Starting off with the villains, Azuma is played by Kane Kosugi, who was previously Kenichi Kai, star of the American produced Ultra series (which ironically, was too expensive to air in America) Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero, and Jiraiya/Ninja Black of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. With this, he was the first actor to transform in all three franchises (while two more have since attained that status, they’re still beaten out by the actress who played Sawa in Build, since she also had major roles in Ultraman and Metal Heroes, in addition to a Sentai guest spot) Chic is voiced by Shingo Fujimori, the voice of ALMOST every belt and stamp in Revice. Which, considering he’s the demon born from the two guys who built most of the Revice Rider gear, it makes sense. And Minami, the one female among the hired help, is played by Meiku Harukawa, one of Sakamoto’s regulars over in Ultra (she was a villain of the week in Ginga S, a supporting character in Trigger and one of the bad guys in Regulos) In addition, to Kosugi, we have two more Kakuranger alumnus in Birth of Chimera, in the form of Teruaki Ogawa (Sasuke/Ninja Red), who plays Dr. Soutomi while he’s alive and in control (after Chic takes over, so does a new actor) and Satomi Hirose (Tsuruhime/Ninja White) as Nozomum (a joke that works best for Brits). Taikawa is also an alumnus, by technicality of having suit acted Ninja Red. And speaking of Taikawa, his whole family appears in this. His wife Rie (who incidentally, was Ninja White’s suit actress) is one of the fleeing extras, while his son Shinta (previosuly the younger version of one of the Hell Bros from Build) is the poor sod who tries the Chimera Driver offscreen and turns into a demon. And for the movie itself, the pregnant woman I maligned is Haruka Tateishi, who may be better known as Amu /ZyuohTiger from Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger (and considering that the Donbrothers movie also had a former White heroine and a former Ninja warrior in the cast, I may have commented on the similarity somewhere). And now, the Movie skit. Chic: It’s Chic and… Azuma: (unmotivated) Azuma’s… Both: Stamp Navi! Azuma: Do I really have to do this? Chic: Yes. All of these features have had two hosts, and Tony, Hakim and the other lady already turned me down. So let’s get on with the talk about this stamp. Giff! (Laughs) My voice sounds a lot like the Vistamps, don’t you think? Azuma: This Vistamp is the original, containing Giff’s DNA. Centuries ago, it sealed him away and granted me immortality. It was later used as the basis for all other Vistamps. Chic: Of course, this isn’t the real Giff Stamp. Just a copy we made with the genes we extracted from the Igarashi kids. We’re going to use it to turn more willing converts into Demons. Azuma: I thought our plan was to create an army of immortal Kamen Riders using the Chimera Driver. Chic: Oh don’t be silly, we need Giff’s DNA to grant people immortality. Azuma: Yes. And we have his DNA, with the Giff Eye in the Chimera Driver. You told me it would restore my immortality. Chic: Did I? Azuma: Yes. In that special where I killed that Nozomu kid’s parents. Chic: It was so long ago… Azuma: It was last week. (George turns the video off) George: Well, this diversion with these two was amazing, but ultimately a waste of time. The Igarashi kids got got a new form, but barely tapped its full potential. And that Nozomu kid gave up his goal with way too much ease. Anyway, it’s time that I move ahead with the culmination of my work. (He reveals the Chimera Driver, which he attaches a yellow screen to) Juuga Driver! George: Next time, I’ll show off the Ultimate Driver, one that doesn’t use the power of Demons Daddy was so proud of. Credit to En-chan for suggesting I do the Giff stamp at this point. |

I know I'm late but something I DO LIKE is how they did NOT Redeem Olteca just because he had a sympathetic backstory this was a trend rider shows have been doing really bad as of late(I mean technically it started in Ghost but I Feel like Adel's backstory is the ONE THING that show other than designs did right IMO) but Ex-Aid is where it became a problem IMO Kuroto and Parado IMO DID NOT Deserve to be redeemed, and I'm told Zero One is WORSE in this regard but I do wish they just simply made Olteca the main villain because as I said when this show was airing I've never seen any show less interested in it's main villain (Giff) than this show while I DO LIKE how the 2nd half isn't just everyone getting the shit kicked out of them by the main villain unless they have a new toy to debut(BUILD) but by god did they fumble it

KAMEN RIDER REVICE MOVIE SPIN-OFF NET DRAMA: BIRTH OF CHIMERA
It doesn’t help that Azuma/Daimon makes almost no sense in this. He’s a different Giff acolyte from the ancient past that we’ve somehow never heard of until now, until Hiromi AND HIROMI ALONE stumbles upon him after 80 years in the jungle, at which point he goes back to civilization for basically the exact opposite reasons he left in the first place. Nothing he’s doing makes any specific sense (and he gets three costume changes in this one goddamn special!), except for the parts that just come off like a less-interesting Akaishi. I do not like this movie villain, and the movie hasn’t even started yet. Quote:
KAMEN RIDER REVICE THE MOVIE - BATTLE FAMILIA
Don’t get me wrong, there’re a million things I could humorously complain about from this film: “Game On”; Area 666; Science Tassel; Chic; Giffamilia Reunion; whatever Nozomu’s story was supposed to be. It’s a dumb movie – relentlessly, thoroughly, astoundingly. Nearly every scene is dumber than the one before it, and the movie ends with Ikki and Azuma fist-bumping in front of an explosion. The scene-to-scene continuity is absolutely insane, and most background details invite no small amount of pity. (One of the best is the reveal of the CGI Fenix jet that is too large to enter or exit the hangar it resides in.) This is, on one scale, maybe the worst summer movie I’ve ever seen. Quote:

This whole movie succeeds – to the degree that anything in this pratfall of a film can be considered a success – whenever the power of the Igarashi family is on display. That’s it. That’s the one thing this movie has going for it, beyond Geats. (So glad to see Geats! Even if his appearance here doesn’t technically work in the rules laid out for the Desire Grand Prix!) The Igarashis are, collectively, the absolute perfect mix of wacky, warm, heroic, and dramatic. This movie is 100% about leaning into that brilliant dynamic.
Quote:
I loved that part of it, and am happy to forget about anything that isn’t that. (So long forever, Nozomu and your vengeance!) Best part of the film is Fifty Gale, the upgrade that Yukimi maybe generates by drawing power from her desires and the DGP’s Desire Deity? (Not… super clear on this, despite cheering for it.) Like, the Revice Trinity Form is something their mom makes them do. PERFECT. I love it, and I’ll always love it. The chemistry of these five actors – alongside any number of girlfriends, Work Dads, puppets and voice actors – forgive any deficiencies in plot or premise. I just need Genta to get flirty with Yukimi, or Yukimi to tell Science Tassel that he just effed up, or the kids to support each other against a dual-language eternal executioner. The details of this movie are beyond clarification or defense; the characters are beyond reproach.
Man I guess jokes aside this sounds fair enough. This is a cross comparison between different series, not main series! Thus Ex-Aid Riders should be all superior to most other franchise Riders!

Though Kamen Rider Igarashi was not used for climax, albeit it does have good showings regarding his abilities being a combined of the 3 Igarashi sibling Riders, it was only used to fight off some (albeit tougher) mooks while not involving Azuma or Chic. And dunno why the characters don't use their final form like Revi and Vice, or Live, only saving it at certain moments, I don't think there's drawbacks on final forms here.
