Maybe they had a problem with the number of female stunt performers of the right level? I understand that you can put anyone in a suit, but in modern times it is much easier to notice inappropriate bulges and for some it can ruin the whole viewing experience. It is not for nothing that Sabella, Jeanne and Na-Go are portrayed by the same Yuki Miyazawa.

I'm honestly legitimately surprised it took them this long to have a "Mandatory" female rider.
They've known since 2000 that the franchise has a large female viewer base (It's not called the Odagiri effect for nothing), as well as being well aware that little girls are also fans of the show and buying toys (Which is why Tackle was created in the first place back in the 70's). Even if the franchise still has a prominent male audience, ever since Agito established a precedent for multiple riders in a show, they should've taken advantage and had more female riders. Quote:

Sucks that the Kuuga Manga has a bad translation
https://twitter.com/MarzGurl/status/...6EV_uIg6A&s=19 The Kamen Rider tome didn't have this issue right?

If you mean the OG Kamen Rider Manga then no they didnt. The translation was good & was done by Seven Seas a different company.

The whole Kuuga Manga thing seems like a shitshow. It's a big shame; I was actually considering buying it the other day since it and the original Kamen Rider manga are the only things we get in the UK from rider's ""global push"".
What's even odder is that I've heard the person who was in charge of the Kuuga manga's translation did have a lot of experience and credit in the industry? Someone you'd trust to do a decent job. So this combined with how machine translate-y they are makes me wonder if a ridiculous deadline was pushed on him or something. Don't want to theorise too much but it just seems very odd Also, the 01 comic writer chipping in like that... I was very willing to give his comic the benefit of the doubt despite the first issue and the second issue preview not being up my alley, but this makes it a LOT harder to look forward to his stuff

But still, there must be a reason why Sabella and Na-Go are played by the same stuntwoman. That is, between Angela Mei and Yuna Hoshino, the difference in height is 20 centimeters.

Probably just because they keep the same stuntpeople around? The same guy DID portray 18/20 main heisei riders after all. Someone playing two female riders from different shows seems ordinary

Given what I read in an interview with Tom Constantine the other day, Toei is just more likely to use stuntpeople they know, - why not keep bringing back the same ones year after year if you know they can do a great job at bringing a costumed character to life while performing the same mannerisms as the regular actor?

There's a great screencap from Zi-O that shows the huge height discrepancy between Sogo's actor and stunt performer Seiji Takaiwa during the de-transformation
When you're the guy, you're the guy. They called him Mr. Heisei Rider for a reason haha
