General Kamen Rider Thoughts

(To be clear, I actually find it fun looking for patterns and similarities like this, I just think it's silly to assume anyone at Toei is doing them on purpose or that they predict future seasons in any way)

So I just found out that Toei is doing a Lachesis special for the online fanclub, which apparently features all three Abyssalis Sisters, Geryon, and Ultraman Geed. I'm all-in on this.

Super!

I thought that Kitaoka was actually lucky not to win Rider Fight. He has cancer, but his wish is not for a cure, but for immortality. Which makes sense, since the fear of imminent death torments even completely healthy people. But in his case, it’s not exactly the best option. Recalling the myth of Eos and Tithon (who was turned into a cicada, funny) and other similar stories, Kitaoka, if he won, would gain defective immortality, namely eternal suffering from the disease. Well, or until a cure is invented in the future, but most likely his case would be too unique and advanced for that.

So Toei has decided to bless us with a sequel to what I consider my favorite TTFC project they've ever done.

They announced it yesterday with a bts video, so no official trailer yet, but I can only imagine they're hiding some good stuff. People have already caught some interesting things in it too.

Super cool! At the time, I had a lot of fun with Girl Remix. After there was nothing like that for Geats, I already thought that the initiative was considered unsuccessful. So I'm very happy to see that I was wrong. I'm looking forward to this special. And it's also great that Sakamoto is doing it again.

Ha ha, I don't think you could stop Sakamoto from directing this. It wouldn't surprise me if he'd bankrolled the production himself!

I'm in. I have complicated and conflicting feelings about the original, but I like the premise and am totally fine with getting another shot at this. Always happy to see Hana again, if nothing else.

I'm also happy to report that this video continues my streak of absolutely failing to recognize/remember Tsukuyomi. Saw the line-up from the first movie and immediately went "Who the fuck is that between Sawa and Reika? Is that Yua?"

The actress has changed quite a bit in appearance since the original show, so this isn't surprising.

I mean, sure, but it's honestly just that I find her to be entirely forgettable. If Toei really wants to just confuse the hell out of me they'd make a web series that's her, Delta, Drake, and Beast. I would actively forget it existed while I was watching it.
