Just recently I have stumbled upon a report speaking of this movie and how it's a blatant Kamen Rider ripoff.

Well. That's a pretty obvious knock off. That being said I actually really like it

Shoulders are looking a little more Kuuga than OOO to me, but ripoff nonetheless.

I don't think you can call it a rip off just because the outfit took pieces/designs from others...

In this case I think that's a fair assessment. After all it isn't just using designs for influence. You can literally see Agito's upper body on that guy

You can, however, call it a rip off just because it's Chinese.

It was discovered by Bandai Asia team before they brought over Akiyama Ren for the promotion of Kamen Rider W in Taiwan. Legal action has been taken by Bandai.
Ishimori Pro's Hayase Masato has already spoken about the issue on twitter, but not mentioning any action taking by Ishimori Pro. Taiwanese production of the movie already replied on their blog saying the movie isn't a rip off of Kamen Rider nor Ultraman tokusatsu. It is a movie that is used to bring back viewers memory of their youth. Space Hero FLY and Space Hero FACE "could" be a movie about staff behind stage, but I really doubt that is the case. |

Even without the suit breakdown its quite apparent very little original thought went into the design.
