As if Kamen Rider Double wasn't suggestive enough *wink wink*

Again why I like Trial better. No bike mode, and the Trial Maximum Drive involves no weiner-revving.

Episode fifteen of Black... I kept waiting for a Zodiart to turn up. Now I really wanna see Gamou work with Golgom.

Although Black feels really primitive, coming right off the back of Ultimatum, I have to say the monster designs and suits hold up really, really well, honestly I think I kinda like them better than the modern suits, something about them looks more real. I dunno, it's like the modern monsters suits are so well made, so glossy and new and expensive that it only highlights how fake they are.

Plus although the show is very very goofy, largely because of how dated it is, I kinda wish more modern shows had action like Black's. So much Toku action these days is done on wires or with CGI that I don't even see the point of suit actors any more, and sure maybe it isn't as superheroic as Black isn't like flying through the air or whatever, but his fights with his enemies usually either leave the enemy with one less limb or two or level the set around them which to me is a much better visual treat than seeing the Rider's yanked through the air.

Even when the show does neither of those things, Black still manages to make the physical hits feel like they have actual impact whereas shows like Blade make a fist fight look like the toku version of a Newton's Cradle without the sense of motion.

Jesus, was Kido dropped as a child? He just put his deck on the table and let the kid take it?

Are you, like, I can't... I don't know if I can...

...

Jesus take the wheel...

EDIT: Also I was kind of confused why everyone was holding the kid's hand before I remembered that only those who hold a deck can see into the mirror world.

Man Climax form is gonna be great.

Just finished Ryuki 27: So this is Odin, huh? Would be pretty cool if it weren't for his speech.

"The Rider who beats me will PROBABLY gain great power..."

Probably? As in, not for sure? You're just guessing? Your name is Odin and you speak probabilities?

Dude, you kind of have to sell us more on the great power thing. You don't sound fully committed.

I think the Mirror Monsters are, hands down, the most horrifying monsters in the history of Kamen Rider. Just look around you right now and count how many reflective surfaces are in your immediate vicinity. Now imagine that, behind any single one of them, a monster could suddenly jump out and devour you.

I remember those episodes. I kinda liked them. The kid who wants to be a hero is a pretty standard trope in tokusatsu and I like how Ryuki handled it.

"Okay, you want to be a Kamen Rider? Cool, look at what we have to do."

Thirty seconds later and the little bastard is scarred for life.

The episode itself was fine, quite good. Just that little mishap and Odin being not as badass as he should be since he apparently isn't sure about his own rules.

I googled Trial, and that looks so much better than regular freaking Accel.
