Kamen Rider Revice Legacy: Kamen Rider Vail
Part 2 As this centers outside of Noah, more of Junpei's personality is shown here in the daily talk against someone, as someone only driven by revenge and has lost his meaning of life by that, he's a lone wolf type and would show some coldness and aloofness. It's explainable with how NOAH treats him, but his vengeful side seems to be purely his own, as that time he was eager to fight the devils, instead of obeying NOAH. Other than that, he seems to be enhanced as Vail with his wounds healing quickly. Not that it applies to his scent too however. He doesn't seem to be much superior to the NOAH soldiers that fought him, so he's probably at best slightly superhuman in physical stats at that point. It now centers around the buildup of his relationship with Yukimi as she helped him out from the debris and took him to the similar-as-ever-in-the-past Happy Spa. True to how "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree", Yukimi showed traits that is seen in her future children, seen in her cooking being about spicy curries like Sakura's, as well as her being a #1 busybody like Ikki's, none for Daiji's yet. I guess it makes sense now on how she was fiercely overprotective against Sakura becoming a Rider, she resembles Ikki the most at the first place. That'd make her kind and helpful... b̶e̶t̶t̶e̶r̶ ̶p̶e̶r̶s̶o̶n̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶n̶ ̶J̶u̶n̶p̶e̶i̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶R̶i̶d̶e̶r̶ ̶s̶u̶i̶t̶, albeit with some wild and savage traits too, she's saving the day with traditionally feminine role to Genta, but Ikki's busybodiness is seen as a wrong trait in the main series, so if Yukimi's like him too she should've been given a lesson too, but I don't think it'd happen for 5-part only unless it's mentioned offscreen if Yukimi can be a main guide to her children. Still there's something that all the children has nothing in common to their parents... seems that none of the Igarashi childrens inherit Junpei's personality, while Yukimi was never strong physically unlike all her children... of which is shown in ep. 1, the difference between her and Sakura dealing with the Giff Juniors. Though she did rescue Genta by using steel rod to lift the debris. No info yet on how the name Genta came, hope it'd be something more meaningful. Yukimi felt that her fate is to protect him and obviously they'd eventually marry... but I'd hope the next ones aren't only about their love, based on the current previews. Actually Masumi's conscience kicked in earlier than I thought, I thought he felt regret as he grew older and a bit wiser, but actually he already objected as a young man here against Agariyama, who's shown to be completely ruthless in reaching his goals, experimenting on various people without blinking an eye despite that all of them except Junpei are killed. That'd mean he might've obtained more victims than Olteca with Junpei being numbered 71. He'd also capture someone innocent just because she interacts with Subject 071 and would soon consider him a failure as well, Junpei's second chance is given without freedom. While Masumi has done the experiments too, thus he's amoral too, he had limits to stop when he feels it has gone too far. This also makes him a better person compared to certain another hat + sunglasses + mask covered person, W's Shroud, that he's more well-meaning and is genuinely remorseful for the damage and chaos his research caused unlike Shroud who's completely consumed by her vengeance to manipulate others as a tool constantly including monsters like Isaka, though she eventually felt remorse but in much later time.

Kamen Rider Genm The Presidents 1000% Smart Brain Special
So these TTFC specials, I know the plots are wild, but they at least feel like they watched the show, understand the characters somewhat. Here... the plot is bizarre. The characters are vaguely here, I guess, but outside of Kuroto's OTTness, it's nothing distinctive. The Ark is back, and working with Dan, because logic doesn't matter, this is just a silly short to sell new merch for a 2+6 year old toyline (seriously, are 01 and Ex-Aid that worth it?) Smart Brain is here, to set up shop for the next web special, so I look forwards to Faiz vs OOO - Kougami's Smart Brain 1000% real The designs are nice, I suppose? Muteki Genm is actually really nice, even though it makes me wish the rest of the Ex-Aid cast were here to put him in his place - the problem with isolating Kuroto the meme man is that you lose all the context of what made him so funny! Thouser... looks cool, I guess? Black and white colour scheme on that body is nice, but we also already had evil dark Thouser in Zaia. Look, I like Kuroto. Ex-Aid is great. I even have some fondness for Thouser, in his absolute loser version of a hero. This just didn't work for me, in a way that even the other web-specials didn't. Oren/Jonouchi special? Chaarcters we hadn't seen in years (plus Takatora I will always simp for Takatora). Decade vs Zi-O? Applaudable for sheer madness alone. But this? I just don't get it. Anyone feel different and want to let me know what I'm missing?

Yeah, about how I feel. It feels very phoned in? Just kinda like... I dunno, I didn't care for it. Ark being back in particular feels pretty bad in the same way as Evolt in New World. But it's just a TTFC special and I got a cool Genm Musuo transformation out of it so net win, I suppose?

Agito: I told Die to go with TV-Nihon over Gomen-Rider, and I don't really regret it when the latter was the one trying to translate idioms directly. (Although admittedly, it's not like I've gone over the entire show to compare here, so examples that bad might be rarer than I'm making it sound.) Ryuki: The official one seriously Shout is doing good work people Faiz: Abandon all hope (but I guess go with one of the not TV-N ones if you have to.) Blade: Excite and it's not even a contest OOO: Over-Time messed up Eiji's whole iconic 楽して助かる命がないのはどこも一緒だな bit in the premiere, which will bug me forever, all the more so now that OOO 10th made such a major callback to it, so that's at least one more translation TV-N can claim is genuinely more accurate from them. ...Not that this is any comment on the overall quality of either group's take on OOO; I mostly just wanted to vent about this. (Really, in pretty much any case where it's a choice between Over-Time and TV-N, I'm going to say the former.) Gaim: Aesir Ex-Aid: Excite Zero-One: The official one, but I mean, if you can't support that anyway, Over-Time is just as good Saber-Revice: Do we even have a choice besides IzuSubs right now?

Genms is like this borderline avant-garde experiment in the way it plays with the idea of how the audience is meant to root for characters in a typical story (it knows people like Kuroto more, names itself after him, and still makes Gai the "protagonist" anyway, which says a lot), and this one in particular played up that actual Genm VS Thouser angle that got sidetracked for the Cronus stuff last time. So yeah, I don't know. I guess if I'm saying it's good, that might be a warning sign more than anything, but I feel like Yuuya Takahashi is doing something pretty interesting with these things despite them not being deep in any way, and this time we did indeed get a cool new suit or two out of the deal, so I'm pretty satisfied.

Did Excite finish Ex-Aid? I'm only able to find up to episode 28 with them... either way, thank you! I trust you pretty well when it comes to subs at this point so this is very helpful

If I recall, at least for Saber there is FlameSubs. I know there was a recent batch released of the whole series + movie + specials from em. I've only been slowly partially working through Saber again (purely for Fanfic purposes) so I haven't been able to see too much of their work but I end up liking what I glimpse at pretty well.

Excite definitely finished Ex-Aid, I watched it with their subs back when it was airing live. I'm sure it is out there somewhere, you can DM me if you want any help tracking it down!

Anyway, of the shows I've seen/sampled so far, here are my tidbits. Skyrider through Black RX: Bereke Scrubs Kuuga: SHOUT if you don't mind the Grongi being subbed Agito: Honestly it's a toss-up. I do slightly prefer GomenRider though. Ryuki: SHOUT Faiz: Agony. Although not optimal I personally find it to be the best of what choices we have right now. Blade: Everyone vouches for EXCITE, so go with them I guess. I used Turn Up Scrubs to watch it and they're fine(lots of typos in specific episodes though). Hibiki: OZC Decade: I used RiderTime, and even though their subs are full of typos, I personally preferred their writing style over Earthly. However, NonActionableFansubs is apparently doing a scrub that serves as a sort of cross between the two, so try them maybe? W through Wizard: OZC Ghost: OZC Zi-O: OZC Zero-One: SHOUT
