>>284331605
are you me? just finished watching and was disappointed the thread was already gone.
the final match is not who I expected at all. Not disappointed in this episodes winner, but felt our boy Toujima was done dirty.
I guess the cope is he only lost cuz is masked came off

>>284331960
The better fighter won.
Nothing to be disappointed about.

>>284331605
Really liked how they made Toujima feel like a monster during the whole fight and how rather than technique or training Tackle won by learning how to channel her autism better like the rest of the cast.
Also second season next year got comfirmed

>>284331605
Having watched Air Master, specifically the fight between Kinjiro and Yuki, I had a feeling that Tojima wasn't going to win. Him and Kinjiro have the exact same fighting style and both are initially weak against grappling. Kinjiro eventually learns to use some grappling himself, so I'm expecting Tojima will adapt as well.

10/10 episode, probably the best so far.
>>284331960
>disappointed the thread was already gone.
The thread went by so fast it hit bump limit and was archived before I could even watch the episode.

>wymyn is the strongest!
woke shit
dropped

I was sure they would make Tackle fight in a really lame way and was very pleasantly surprised she just outclassed Tojima in technique AND guts and was strong enough to drive him into the ground like a diglet.

EXCEPT the only reason Toujima lost is because his mask fell off. I love that kind of technicality
>I won... but I actually lost
Because it just hypes you up for the next time when he doesn't succumb to that vulnerability

>>284332075
Prob should have rephrased better, I wasn't disappointed in the fight at at all.
I did like that Tackle proved she was worthy to stand with the others, since it felt like she hadn't received as much focus as Toujima and V3.
expectations were definitely subverted tho for the entire tournament, but not in the "lol got u" way.
but by that logic, the winner will clearly be... surprise attack by a Kaijin, tournament is unfinished. JK i'm an anime only, no spoilers

>>284331605
Doesn't matter as much since as far as fighting Shockers and bosses, only Toujima is any good right now. Fighting human is different and also doesn't matter.

SEASON 2 of TV Anime "Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider" (Toujima Tanzaburou wa Kamen Rider ni Naritai) currently in development

—Broadcasting scheduled for 2026.

https://x.com/SugoiLITE/status/1997552116622336289
Lets fucking go

>>284331605
It taught me that women to be physically punished to teach a lesson sometimes.

>>284331960
You really need to understand why Toujima lost from a narrative standpoint, he had the best showing against the first Shocker lieutenant, while the others had yet to have their spot at the limelight.

Toujima will have more moments to shine later, and another humiliating event too as well.

>>284333422
The Kamen Rider element really helped the series It seems, this is the might the longest Yokusaru manga adaptation after Air Master, and that was 22 years ago. He has tons of manga series that never got animated.

>>284331605
I liked the fight, but the one issue I have is that I'm not really interested in the finals? Both Tackle and Riderman more than proved themselves in their respective episodes, so I'm not really feeling a second row of the same, you get me? In fairness, I would've felt the same if Toujima won. I think the only fight that would keep me interested is the absolute retard fanboy fight between Ichigo and V3.

>>284333724
The match does seem like it will in the first half of the episode judging by the preview, but then again I haven't read the manga

>>284333505
nah I understand why, I get it. was exaggerating with the whole done dirty. I can be sad he lost but glad of the outcome, right?
sorta like you said, hero journeys have to have a defeat to make the victory that much better.

>>284332075
Yes punching and kicking isnt enough they need techniques or kamen raider is fucked.

>>284332565
Woke?showing here camel toe and huge tits in diferent positions the entire fight.

>>284333724
>>284333769
Should be a no brainer. Tackle winning makes sense because she was objectively the better technical fighter, no matter how immortal the opponent, but now she's facing an even better technical fighters on top of being half-dead from the previous fight and refusing a break. Might as well wrap it up and show us some Yakuzaman.

Tojima do need to improve his techniques for sure.
Either that or just "grab the monster, put in the general direction of the tojima's punch, run half hour to reach where the monster landed, rinse and repeat until it's dead"

>>284331605
>>284331960
The fight was kino but why did Toujima lose to Yuriko? Is it because Yuriko finally started to believe she was Tackle and risked herself per grapple?

>>284334175
Yep.
Autism level is clearly a stat in this show, and she had the second lowest behind the shocker combatant.

Stronger didn't deserve that scolding

>>284334175
It's clearly shown after the credits. Dude lasted that long because he was riding the high of being Kamen Rider, and crumbled down the instant he lost the mask. The amount of hits he took didn't matter, had he lost the mask earlier he would've gone down halfway through the episode.

>>284333422
Fuck yea, I'm an anime-only, but I've really enjoyed the show thus far.

Binged the entire thing today. I'm hooked.
From what I'm reading though, this shit is part of an extended universe from the author. How many of his manga are part of it? Do I just go start from Tanikamen and never stop?

>seen "rider fans" calling the show gooner bait
>even worse, slop
is it just a retarded gatekeeping thing? like "this isn't real kamen rider and introducing people to the property through this series is doing the property a disservice?"
the showrunners are very clearly enthusiastic about kamen rider in general, recreating showa scenes, references, rotoscoping the openings, using the same sound effects, etc. i've only watched '71, black, kuuga, W, drive, and OOO but even i can tell there is so much heart put into the adaptation

>>284331605
I thought for sure when Tackle realized the only way to win was risking her life that she'd use the cyclone move to end it. Instead she spammed more electric throws.

>>284334862
We latinos love it tho and we own the franchise

>>284331605
He will make her job with the mating press by the end
They will have enough little riders to cause a swarm of locust and devour shocker
(Yukarisu and Yakuza Man excluded)

>>284334862
>is it just a retarded gatekeeping thing?
It's two schizos from /m/, one who hates anime as a whole and would throw massive hissyfits over Fuuto PI and Sentai Red Isekai, another one who hasn't watched the show and just hates it because of the title "I want to be a Kamen Rider" is anti-Showa according to him. The anon who calls it gooner bait both on /a/ and /m/ is just baiter.
Otherwise almost every Kamen Rider fan who actually watches the show loves it because you can tell very clearly the mangaka and the staff are Kamen Rider fans and the author being an experienced mangaka with several long-running manga under his belt clearly shows.

As someone who has never watched a Kamen rider show before this anime got me interested in the real series. The characters passion for Kamen rider played straight, references, and the animation art being better than the manga is great. To write off the series because of fan service is retarded, this anime is fun.

>>284331605
If Tackle is the strongest (btw they spoiled next episode Mitsuba fight in the fucking title wtf) why is anyone else even there?

>>284335502
It's specially retarded because Showa Rider which this show is based on has ton of fan service, that's why I refuse to believe people claiming this show is bad based on fanservice are real fans

>>284335533
Because one of em alone, or maybe even all of em together are shit if compared to a monster.
They probably will have to give all they got and even more to have any chance, that they don't.
In 0 to 10, their chance of beating a monster is YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

>>284335770
So Tackle won't steal the whole thing from here, right? That's my main issue after this toirnament result.

>>284333360
Going to be honest. If I was a criminal and I saw a dark figure in the distance, big red eyes light up and see that belt. I would probably drop what I was doing and run away.

>>284334862
They are just stupid. We already have seen a huge surge in people looking up the series and actually saying they are interested in watching a few. We are looking at a revival for interest in almost all of the series, across Showa, Heisei and Reiwa eras.

>>284336155
It's just schizos rather than actual fans, no fan would hate something with this much SOVL.

>>284335935
Probably not.
It's literally called "tojima wants to be a kamen rider".

>>284336764
>It's literally called "tojima wants to be a kamen rider".
Well yeah but he just fucking lost.

>>284336776
Yep, because he only knows two attacks.
Imagine if he was trained to have say.. 4 attacks.

>>284336809
speaking of, when is our V3 going to start busting out all the other gimmick gadget 'techniques'

>>284335770
well I think that \o \o \o \o will probably EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
but that's just my opinion.

>>284334175
Yeah she won because she incarnates Tackle even without her mask, Toujima can only do it with his mask on, its kino, she was clearly in a disadvantage but thanks to her autism and willpower she beat him hard

>>284337372
>Yeah she won because she incarnates Tackle
How can you win by incarnating a loser

>>284334175
He lost because he needs to upgrade his Kamen Rider gear to become truly invincible thru the power of his autism.
He really should get a perfect full helmet version so it can't just fall off at least.

>>284332565
Ishinomori was a tree hugging hippie, he originally envisioned Tackle becoming a Kamen Rider and before his dead he was planning to add female riders.

>>284335935
Tojima lost because his physical stats are absurdly high, but all he can do is throw haymakers at max punch. Thats extremely devastating when it lands, but he lacks the actual fighting skill to deal with an opponent that doesn't just stand there and take it. And every martial art worth a damn has an answer to 'haymaker'.

So he lost this time, but in a way that means that once he trains to learn a real fighting style he'll be 10x more dangerous than he is now.

>>284338212
>Tackle becoming a Kamen Rider
Source? Him wanting to add female Riders is definitely true but I don't remember him wanting Tackle specifically to become a Rider

>>284338243
There are rumors that say Stronger was supposed to run for 50 episodes but lost in ratings against Goranger. According to those rumors, Tackle was supposed to come back and be recognized as a rider. In any case, remember Ishinomori created the shows but the producer was Tohru Hirayama and Toei in general was/is a very conservative company

>>284334175
Yuriko won because she actually trained and had tons of techniques, but Toujima would have won if he had a better mask

>>284338384
Stronger was indeed canceled because of low ratings, essentially the original channel where Kamen Rider was airing wasn't actually airing the show resulting X getting canceled despite being initially popular, because of that they made Amazon as an experimental short show while they waited for the deal to transfer to another channel, however Amazon ended up being controversial due to being too scary for kids, so when the new channel picked Kamen Rider up to air Stronger they gave the studio less budget, which resulted in fans complaining about the show having a lower quality, which in turn lowered their ratings ultimately resulting in a cancelation.
But the Tackle being a Rider bit is probably false since I've seen no confirmation for said rumor.

Everytime I remember they're a bunch of autisic adults having retarded teeth-loss-inducing fights in the middle of a forest I can't help but laugh

>>284333422
>this and (presumably) Gaea Tima next year
Now we just need a surprise announcement of Fuuto Pi and Sentai Red Isekai S2, and we'll have nearly as many toku anime airing as actual toku.

>>284331605

What Kamen Rider would he be?

>>284342560
Amazon

>>284336809
And he couldn’t use one of them because he didn’t have anything to jump off of. He’s not as young and agile as the others.

>>284338212
>Ishinomori was a tree hugging hippie
Guess that’s why Kamen Rider is wind powered.

>>284338108
I doubt he’ll get a helmet, at least in the first season. A scarf is much more likely.

>>284338384
They’re not as conservative anymore, which is great for people who want to see female riders but sucks for people who don’t want gender creatures in their toku.

>>284338108
>>284343187
I doubt it.
For once, his cheap plastic mask became his trademark sign.
Also, it is well established, that every character has their own way to express their rider autism.
Yuriko is the most conventional one, whom has a proper cosplay.
Ichiyo on then other side of the spectrum doesn't even wear a mask.

>>284338212
If Tackle wasn't a Kamen Rider what exactly was she then?
I get Ridermans position of not being am actualcyborg but human with auguments, but not hers.

>>284343649
A Kamen Rider rider.

>>284338234
If Tojima learns to fight for real he'll get weaker like Mitsuba did with Aikido

The answer is to go even harder into Rider 'tism

>>284343888
But he got completely wrecked by Tackle.

The Kaijin don't do martial arts (yet), and he is the only one who has the chance to hurt them with his tard strength.

>>284344670
He is also the only one who can't dodge a Kaijin.

>>284344930
That's what the other are for. They can do their martial arts combat trick to draw aggro and try to tire the Kaijin out while Toujima does his things.

She shat her trousers against Toujima, the Kaijin are even physically stronger.

>>284343974
>He got wrecked by Tackle
He only even went down because she broke his mask off and shut down his 'tism power.

>>284343649
Female heroine.

>>284345813
He ended up with the being on life support even with mask, while Tackle is fighting her next round without a break.

>>284346210
>He ended up with the being on life support even with mask
No, the mask IS the life support

>>284346227
That's what I meant.
The mask allows him to stay around, but he is in no condition to fight any longer.

>>284345813
i unironically think that's it, his entire being runs on kamen tism juice as soon as he is cut off from it he becomes giga nerfed. Also because his autism is so great the moment he fights shocker he gets a huge buff. Tojima really fights like a monster, just tard strength probably why he's the only one who can measure up to them

They need to glue the mask to him. I bet he would have kept going if it didn't came off.

>>284350248
No, what they need is to get him a real helmet. One that covers his whole head and isn't easily knocked off, but also which provides at least some protection.

If Tojima can summon this level of autism power with just a cheap child's mask, imagine how much more Kamen Rider he would feel with a full cosplay outfit?

God please fast forward already, I cannot wait for Tojima weekends.

>>284350416
He probably would have died if he kept going.

>>284350690
Kamen Rider doesn't die, even if he's killed.

>>284348676

>>284331605
It was very cool
Tojima is a beast physically but Yuriko has better skills and his mask seems to be a big weak point
I'm interested to see how the final fight will go

Consider that from Tojima's POV he was assailed with constant upskirt panty shots, face pressed between her sweaty thighs repeatedly, full body weight butt bomb drops to his belly, and her on top of him repeatedly.

The psychological damage to his 40 year old virgin brain and penis would have been immense.

>>284331605
I disappointed that Tackle II won by caving to her childish ideas of Tackle and Stronger instead of actually understanding Tackle and Stronger. I don't see how this shows her embodying Tackle more to secure the win. It's the opposite.

>>284353923
>his mask seems to be a big weak point
More the other way round.
The mask gives him a boost

any anime this season that even comes close to this kino?

So, anons are saying this is a good point for Tojima to learn how to fight properly because all he can do is punch and kick really hard... HOWEVER, I haven't watched Kamen Rider, so I ask you guys, did Kamen Rider fight using things other than punches and kicks? Did he have some super technique or grapple or some shit?

>>284355723
He's frankly nothing like Rider 1 at all. Hongo was a master martial artist whose entire gimmick was coming up with a new finishing move all the time. He had 7 kicks, a punch, two chops, 6 throws, and a few other weird moves like special parries. Rider 1 is specifically the "Rider of Technique." Rider 2 is the one who basically just punched harder.

>>284355245

but i do like sanda's adaptation

"I CAN SEE IT!" has evolved from one of the most hilarious moments of the show to one of the most hype things any character can utter

It basically turns into Air Master 2 anyway, they even bring a few characters in from it plus the manifesting the appearance of the Riders is straight up a power that was shown off in 81diver which is basically Air Master 1.5. This isn't from Tojima I just love this pic of Johns Lee.

>>284356546
Not that anon, I think he meant Air Master 2.0 in the action and fighting aspect. This series only uses Kamen Rider as window dressing, it wasn't a parody or homage, it is merely the theme of a fighting series.

>>284331960
Tojima already had a big win when he knocked Spider Man down while everyone was panicking and shitting bricks. This was the others time to shine

The thing I really hated about this episode was her spitting on him after she won. I can understand someone who has no technique losing to a better trained fighter but spitting on someone who gave it their all and showed you respect is the mark of of someone who doesn't deserve to be her.

Tojima never once looked down on her for being a woman but she constantly talks down to him, makes her very unlikable

>>284362331
She's not his bro though, she constantly treats him like shit despite him being nice to her.

>>284362300
Showa riders are not involved in romantic or sexual relationships, probably because their dicks are replaced with mini-nuclear reactors during the cyborgification.

>>284353151
MC needs to lose in the tournament only to come on top in the real final battle.

>>284362902
I mean, her whole introduction to the show was being spiteful and envious of him being the first to go big as a "kamen rider" and she also resents him for believing to be a kamen rider while only using a cheap mask, so yeah, if you want more explanations for your tiny underdeveloped brain, i'll be here for a while

>>284363387
>her whole introduction to the show was being spiteful and envious of him being the first to go big as a "kamen rider"
Which should have gone by now, he has more than proved himself at this point in the story. Her seeing him fight a monster without hesitation while she cowered in fear should have been the final straw for that.

>while only using a cheap mask
A rider is more than just a mask, the source material makes that very clear. The mask is there just to allow him to transform.

They literally asked for her gloves to sniff as a reward for saving her from Sarracenian. She then teased them with shouldn't they ask for her panties instead which Toujima rejected because she peed herself.

>>284366543
Yeah, and then they went back to treating her like a rider rather than a woman. Also, they wanted the gloves for very different reasons than why guys ask for panties. Just to be clear I also don't like that. Her and Tojima should have been a lot closer than they were.

>>284366707
>I don't think she really felt contempt for him
she shit on him so much from the start of the series that I don't buy that. And even if that was true it was till dirity.
The whole episode didn't sit right with me, him getting the mask knocked off costing him the fight doesn't bother me but the fact that he's just a monster for her to fight does. This should have been the moment where Tojima realizes he needs more than strength and remembers that rider 1 always had a variety of techniques, instead he just KO'ed by a sucker hit at the start and spends the whole fight asleep while Tackle beats on him.

>>284366894
It hasn't fixed any other issues with the writing yet.This episode was textbook example of something that needed to be corrected but they doubled down on all the problems with the manga.

>>284366853
>then they went back to treating her like a rider rather than a woman
What the fuck are you talking about? Then there are no instances where there is any interaction between Tackle and the others, she does her own things, and they do their own things until they meet up at the park and get their asses beaten by Tiger Master.

>>284334862
My colombian coworker learned. Kamen Rider exists from this show. It's raising more awareness of the franchise among casuals.

>>284366853
Tojima has already got plenty of focus. We know whats going on in his head. Having our POV locked entirely on Tackle and seeing Tojima's raw power from the perspective of his enemy rather than himself was an unironically good move.
Absolutely no part of that fight would have been improved by cutting back to Tojima's internal monologue about what was happening.

>>284362902
Tojima's just kinda a creep. He's in this weird middle ground where too much of an autist to be normal, but also not autistic enough to make it fun. He's the worst character of the main cast.

>>284367299
His kamen rider autism is endearing, but it doesn't help that aside from like one shot of him working a construction job, we know fuck all else about him. He loved Kamen Rider as a kid, his dad left him at a summer festival, *30 years pass without comment*, and now he's just the same kid that loves kamen rider but middle aged and buff.

Riderman and V3 have a detailed backstory, with Riderman having a job and girlfriend. Tackle has her backstory, her job, and the training she has done to make her dream a reality.

Compared to the other heroes, Tojima has nothing going on. Yakuza Man is unrionically a much more developed character than our protagonist, despite having a fraction of the screen time.

>>284367419
Am I mixed up the manga and anime in my head but I thought we got the flashbacks to him in highschool as well

>>284367299
>Tojima's just kinda a creep
All the main cast are explicitly shown to be weirdos, Tackle included, she just gets more of a pass due to being a hot girl whereas the men are judged more harshly due to being men. Ironically the shocker girl is the most normal out of the bunch

>>284367147
hard disagree
Also, it does routinely cut to other characters talking about the fight from a sideline perspective.

>We know whats going on in his head
he was KO from the start of the fight, she wasn't even fighting him but the tupla in his head

>>284367419
That's a really good point. He has almost no development outside of his gag backstory where he got shot down by a girl. He doesn't really have a role to play when interacting with the main group either. Tackle and Yukarisu are the tsukkomi. V3 is the autistic boke. And Riderman is v3's rival and Yukarisu's lover.

>>284367527
>All the main cast are explicitly shown to be weirdos,
I agree. My point is he's "just" a creep. He doesn't really have anything else going for him character wise.

I hate Tackle's theme song. I unironically had to mute the fight.
Yeah, I know who you are, bitch.

>>284367419
>Tackle has her backstory, her job, and the training she has done to make her dream a reality.
She has no more of a backstory than Tojima. We get only breif glimpses of her job, her backstory is the same as Tojima just with a different character, and Tojima is shown training as much as she is.The real difference is that she has fat titties and is clearly more liked by the writer.

>>284367653
I unfortunately agree with this, he does seem out of place. Thats why I was really hoping they would change his and Tackles relationship from the manga, they are the two strongest autists of the group and work better as just the two of them than in the group.

>>284367841
I agree with this, dubstep has always been really hard to do well and when it is it turns in to borderline electronica. Tackles theme is the weakest of the bunch, they should have just gone with an electronic version of the original

That I’ve been subverted twice in a row. Though I figured Mitsuba would win against his brother, the long the fight element the more unsure I was. Then I honestly thought Tojima would ended up winning this. But I have respect for everyone in these fights, the winners earned it and moreso feel like they’ve put more thought into the techniques of how they fight so that can make it feel more earned anyway.

>>284370986
>Is there a reason for Tojima being so mentally deficient?
No reason is ever given. It doesn't even make sense since he fought bears as part of his training, just being up against that kind of enemy results in people gaining some level of innate combat training. Most street fighters gain at least some level of martial arts training though being self taught so unless Tojima never once got in a fight that whole time his lack of skill makes no sense.

>but did he really spend 30+ fucking years punching a tree and doing pushups, never once thinking about learning even the most basic martial arts?
apparently so.
We are expected to believe that as a 15 year old with a basic workout regime he was strong enough to take on 15+ boys his age.

The use of the goggles on their masked have been fun.

Makes sense since she could beat Tojima this week. What are you saying

>>284371129
>>284371688
Here's what I want to know: what did Tackle actually expect to DO? She put in all of this effort and training to make herself Tackle 2, but I don't really understand what they thought that meant.

The V3 boys have an actual Shocker-related revenge plot. They know exactly what they are training to fight.

Tojima just really, from the bottom of his heart, wants to fight Shocker. And he eventually accepted that was not really an option, and gave up on that dream for a bit because Shocker wasn't real until those bozos triggered him.

But Tackle? Tackle wanted to be Tackle, but without any clear indication of who, exactly, she thought she was going to be fighting. She obviously didn't know or believe that Shocker was real. If she wanted to just be a Vigilante and fight crime, there was no reason she couldn't have started that before the Shocker-imitators showed up. So what was she waiting for? What did she *think* she was going to do as Tackle for all of those years before some dorks put on shocker masks and robbed convenience stores?

>>284372364
>but I don't really understand what they thought that meant.
She wants to become a popular vigilante hero, so everyone still remembers Tackle.
That's why she keeps saying Tackle isn't dead.

Seemed like she wanted to continue the legacy by eventually going after criminals and being a vigilante, but Toujima beat her to it, right around when she was feeling ready to I suppose.

There've been multiple takes on this. In one, Stronger says she was never a Kamen Rider so that she'd be able to die as a human and her soul could find rest. In another he pays homage to her as "Kamen Rider Tackle".

Kamen Rider Black is a similar situation. The villains kidnapped a pair of friends to turn them into the near-identical cyborgs Black Sun and Shadow Moon... but Black Sun escaped and took the name Kamen Rider Black, while Shadow Moon got brainwashed into evil.

This. It will be what drives him to join up with the rest of the heroes: the fact that the rest of Shocker is trying to kill him.

The fact that nobody is bringing this up shows just how they got no business bringing up writing concepts.
>narrative structure
>be kamen rider without the mask
Toujima is 40 and should have double maybe triple Tackle's growth and experience. Toujima fought the gang, trained, and beat the bear all without the mask, it was never his crutch until now. What's more, already sold his collection which should show he has cut his material ties.
Mitsuba earned his win against his brother by maturing and adapting (and was possibly given the win, which if yes is big on Ichiyo's part) Tackle, however, regressed to a point from her childhood yet this is celebrated as part of why she won. Ignoring the mechanics of the fight, like being able to dodge a rocketfist, or entangling with an opponent stronger than yourself and not getting hit, or Toujima ignoring the many openings he had her dead to rights for, the result falls on its head thematically because not only did tackle already have nothing to prove, she's had several moments where she showed she could swing it with the guys already, and just standing up to Toujima alone is all she had to do in this regard. Her victory does nothing to advance her character, but it does a lot to damage Toujima's, plus Ichiyo indirectly since Toujima got the upper hand in their fight, and just totally bork the powerscaling.
>just bad writing

>>284377384
>it was never his crutch until now.
None of these examples pushed his limits though. I agree it is a weird mishmash but I don't think it completely contradicts what has happened.
>she showed she could swing it with the guys already
Why would this matter? This was never a point for her to make to begin with. You are for some reason projecting an inferiority complex onto her.
Her growth was rather actually willing to risk her live to go for the win, as we saw at the end she let herself getting hit to achieve the winning blow.

Tackle needs sex

>>284377765
>none of these pushed his limit
The gang did without question and was the first example of doing so.
>me with the projection
If you're going to pretend that everyone isn't saying "this is Tackle's moment" and "she proved herself" and "she's been sidelined" then we don't got much to discuss. Acknowledging the projection within the show's meta and explaining how Tackle's growth was reduced to a win while pointing out the consequences, is not projection on my account.

It was one-sided though, his wincon was a single real hit. He got none, like 0.5 for 100. Depending on when he fell unconscious and how good of condition Tackle is for Mitsuba it will be even more damaging to Toujima's character.

It is with stakes like this if they're both going all out. If you don't want Toujima to fail so tremendously, don't write it that way. Otherwise, it's gonna get picked apart, and no amount of handwaiving will make it good writing. It's one misstep in an otherwise great show thus far.

Yes, Tojima *is* more powerful than her. The fight, and Tackle herself, admits this freely. She hit Tojima at full strength a dozen times over and he refused to stay down, but she knows that if he got a single good hit in on her she would probably be immediately KO-ed.
The point of the fights is that she had to make up the difference in power with a superiority in skill, and even then its implied that if the mask had not fallen off Tojima probably would have worn down Tackle eventually anyway.

>>284384014
Lots of anime are pro-autism, or at least pro-hyperfocus. In Fate Stay Night, Shirou's signatures abilities all come from him being so fucking autistic about swords and justice that he can do things that against the conventional rules of magic should be impossible.

>>284385943
Be a bit more precise with your argument. It's not striving for the win that's reductive, but if that striving was only validated by the win itself and not for its own sake then it is indeed so. Part of Toujima's character was sacrificed not because he lost but because of his terrible performance, all for just a win for Tackle. Its writing yourself into a corner because mechanically there's no way Toujima should lose unless he just sucks. Her character development has thus far amounted to winning a single fight. To say this is a low bar is hardly reductive either.

>V3 never died.
>Kamen Rider got nuked in V3, presumably dead, came back in the middle of the show.
>Riderman got nuked, presumably dead, came back in the next series.

So besides Shocker girl who is by and large a normalfag (and doesn't larp as any character), whosever character died the hardest in the series that larper wins the most?

>It's not striving for the win that's reductive, but if that striving was only validated by the win itself and not for its own sake
How would you know? Did anyone say if she loses that fight everything was pointless?

You must be kidding. The fight portrayed him stronger than anything before. Maybe even the Kaiji fight.
>mechanically there's no way Toujima should lose unless he just sucks.
You are just a but hurt idiot if you think there are only these two option.
>thus far amounted to winning a single fight.
Not even sure which fight you mean, because there are more fight he won, plus that time he managed to bring down a monster, even if did not any damage, but to humor your, if he only won a single fight until now, why is it so impossible for him to lose the fight against an improved Tackle?

>>284390041
>all for just a win for Tackle
Have you considered that this is setting up character growth for Toujima? It's demonstrating that he kinda sucks at actual fighting and provids an opportunity for him to overcome that weakness.
>Its writing yourself into a corner because mechanically there's no way Toujima should lose unless he just sucks
He does just suck, all he can do is 'right hook' and 'kick.' Which, in keeping to the themes, is not really representative of how the original Kamen Rider fights, who does a lot of technical and aerial stuff.

>>284331605
I think it was one of my favorite beat downs aside from the alleyway scene in They Live

>>284367419
>30 years pass without comment
Realistically that's the same for just about every person alive. How many people just live through life coasting and suddenly they're old? Most I'd assume. The whole first episode undoes that "without comment" issue as he for the first time lives freely as Kamen Rider.

To those who have read the manga:
Do you think it's better to enjoy the series as it comes out, to be surprised by it and just go the animation route - or- Is it better to catch up on the manga and know what's coming, thank you i'll take my answers off the air

we have done that in real life, they put kangaroo's against human pro boxers, roo's wrecked them. Find the worlds best wrestler and pit him against a gorilla, all the technique in the world won't save him.
Technique allows someone to overcome a relatively small difference in strength, but once the strength gap gets large enough it doesn't matter.

>Have you considered that this is setting up character growth for Toujima? It's demonstrating that he kinda sucks at actual fighting and provides an opportunity for him to overcome that weakness.
If that was the case it would been showcased during the episode, Tojima would have used his power and missed realizing he needs more than just power, instead he's just mindless monster who is KO for most of the fight. He was just there to job and be humiliated see >>284362902

50/50
The manga pulls some bullshit, like all the characters stating Tackle is the strongest rider and making her a bit of a mary sue, having read ahead it tempered my enthusiasm. There are multiple moments going forward where the editor should have stepped in to slap some sense in to the writer
Hopefully the anime fixes that but after this episode I doubt it, so far they have been going exactly off the manga, which is a mistake IMO.

>>284396355
>Technique allows someone to overcome a relatively small difference in strength, but once the strength gap gets large enough it doesn't matter.
This might be true but your examples run under the assumption, that humans have a superior technique over animals.
Also, animals have all in all a tougher body structure, while in humans cases even the stronger ones keep their weak spots.
When you fight animals, you can't aim at the eyes and groin the same way as with humans.

>>284392089
Despite being wrong at least you're able to debate your points unlike this retard >>284392067

>>284396697
>Also, animals have all in all a tougher body structure, while in humans cases even the stronger ones keep their weak spots.

I heard a zoologist weigh in on the "1 gorilla vs 100 naked humans" meme, and they mentioned that
>Gorillas are stronger than humans but there's not much difference in terms of durability; they're actually EXTRA vulnerable to the obvious tactic of punching them in the head
>Gorilla stamina is so shit that even if the 100 humans just lined up and allowed the gorilla to kill them, it would drop dead of exhaustion halfway through
They estimated that it would take less than 10 humans to guarantee a win. And that since gorillas will typically flee a sufficiently large group of enemies, the humans could win without casualties if they formed into teams and chased the gorilla around.

>>284398341
>Not even break sweat.
That's the issue. Gorillas *can't* break a sweat to cancel out the heat from exerting themselves, even though being 10x stronger than a human means they overheat 10x faster.

>>284398708
How is mocking your fellow hero's when they are down prove that she's a hero?
It's like when writers use Superman jobbing to some nobody to prove their strength, at a certain point it doesn't make the other character look better, it just makes superman look worse.
This whole episode was just character assassination for Tojima.

>>284398960
Humans became apex predators because of two OP combos

>>284400914
Nigga all you said is you hate Tackle's character being super competitive and unfriendly to other larpers, that is it.
She has never been nice to any of them from the start, she thinks the autistic antics are stupid unless she is the one doing it. That's a realistic characterization of a woman. There is literally no reason for her to change her interaction with them from this fight.

Heat only make gorilla stronger. Gorilla power potentially endless. Heat make punch stronger. Stronger punch make more heat. Gorilla become like the sun.

>>284401464
>all that shit
>tl;dr: she's a cunt
And thats my problem with her, it's fine for her to be a bitch at the start but once she choked during the monster fight and Tojima stepped up without hesitation she should have changed her mind about him.
Second, like in the second post I linked to, Tojima isn't just a mask, he was already formidable long before he got it and reducing him to a retarded punching machine that goes down the second he loses it is character assassination

I am not disputing that Tojima should have lost due to a lack of skill, my problem is with how and why. This whole episode he was just mindless monster that was there to job and get humiliated to uplift a character that needed to get her ego popped instead of inflated.

>>284402086
Toujima's training had already paid off, everyone repeatedly talked about it, and it even showed in the episode.
Tackle being a cunt (a typical woman), she never shows that she respects strength or determination or whatever, there is no reason why that should suddenly manifest here. All the larpers are grown-ups, and grown-ups are not impressionable and prone to change like kids, they are stubborn and cling to their biases. Tackle has seen Toujima as a creepy 40 y/o when they met and it has only been reinforced ever since, the V3 vs Riderman fight especially doesn't help.
And the whole tournament's theming is around characters who are still not embracing their autism to get autistic awakening as power-ups, realizing it through connecting with their characters' deaths (because Japanese' bushido autism). That's it.

I wish Toujima won bros

>mad retard spends all day being angry about a woman winning and the story moving forward because it made Toujima look terrifyingly strong

Tojima could solo the other four at the same time if he kept his mask on or stayed in his psychological state that he has with the mask. Tackle II lost her helmet near the end but didn't lose her Rider autism, that's what Tojima needs to learn too.

If Riderman truly loses next week and the preview isn't trolling, then it might be because he sabotaged himself by thinking that his brother lost on purpose. Nothing indicated that his brother actually threw the fight, so Riderman is going into the finals without his full Rider autism. Tackle II might still beat him anyway, but he might put up a better fight with his full autism power.

>>284377384
Toujima in his normal routine is super based, and he has great motivation when fighting Shocker, but he separates himself from his true self when wearing the Kamen Rider mask. Right now, he doesn't apply his full self from his normal routine to himself as Kamen Rider, and he mentally turns to the mask first rather than himself. Once he lost the mask he saw it as him losing something integral, which made him basically KO'd on his feet. He needs to tap into his full normal routine while applying it in Kamen Rider things, so that he can always be channeling his full bear-defeating self. Also, fighting another Kamen Rider or protagonist likely doesn't get him in the same mental state as fighting Shocker.

Tackle went more autistic than normal, but was confronting something she never directly faced/vented before, and in doing so has more fully acknowledged that she's super autistic too. That gave her the inner strength to keep fighting, but her occasional straightman element still ended up being a deciding factor in a subtle way -- even without her outfit, she sees herself as fully Tackle II. When she lost her helmet, she just still saw herself as her full self, and thus she didn't falter and drop from her injuries.

Good, they can all piss off, Nazis don't deserve fun. No one try to convince them they're wrong, let them leave.

Now for the real question: is Shocker Kiryu stronger than the Rider crew? Foreign Legion guy was a beast so Kiryu should be kaijin-level

>>284408987
>Foreign Legion guy was a beast so Kiryu should be kaijin-level
Somehow this is the most retarded post in this thread by far. Toujima sends a bear bigger than Yakuya man AND his three goons combined flying with a punch, Yakuza man struggled holding up his goons all at once. He couldn't even slow down a retired wrestler without transforming. Toujima is weaker than Spider Man.
Hell, the Legionnaire salaryman would have diced Yakuza man up if they had fought.

>>284409062
Kiryu never fought Toujima, his only fights are in his spotlight ep
