sucks that redol don't make videos anymore
>>23530969Really like the suit but cannot really imagine it wielding that massive swordI wonder who will be his suit actor
>>23530976Zero and Belt-san would be good friends
>>23530969It's whatever. I'm not the biggest fan of Zeztz's suits
>>23530969Too similar to Zeztz despite being a non-Rider label. Maybe I'm too used to the likes of Mashin Chaser, Night Rogue, Valvarad.
>>23530969Looks amazing. Can't believe the helmet completely offsets the basic suit resembling Zeztz'. The horns/"crown" overlapping the eyes to make it look like a four-eyed snake is really inspired. Can't wait to see it in action.>>23530983Is Yasuhiro Takeuchi in anything currently? This feels like a role for him.
>>23530969The design itself I find even cooler than Zeztz's, the way the silver "Y" on his face segments his eyes makes it look like he has 4 eyes, giving it a slightly more monster-like feel. But the suit has the same issue as Zeztz's due to being mostly fabric with next to no hard armor pieces, that wrinkly tinfoil-like material being so abundant in the suit just looks bad.
What he looks like without the horn “blindfolding” him
>>23531000>Seven... what are we doing?>Haha! Ah, it's just a witty joke Commander~
>>23530969It feels too naked, like its missing something
It's so drop dead gorgeous
>>23531037Can’t tell if this post is serious or not. Reiwa Rider fans will like anything
>>23531037Should've been the final form.
Can’t tell if this post is serious or not. Heisei Rider fans will like anything
>>23531065Gaim looks cool though. Can’t say that about whatever the fuck that other shit is
>>23529313They could just reboot Metal Heroes and have them act as soirt of the "human response" to Kamen Rider shenanigans. Kinda like G3 but not being labeled as a Rider.A lot of the Metal Hero designs are great, but need some modern tweaking.
>>23531072>Gaim looks cool thoughHeiseibabbies are genuinely lobotomized, they'll even say shit like Ex-Aid looks good.THIS is what a cool Rider suit looks like.
>>23531077They tried that with Gavan and it's dead again.
>>23529319You have literally every other Toku franchise for that.
>>23531078Whoops wrong pic
>>23531061retard
>>23531086>no belt>no scarf>no biker aestheticSoulless just like every other Rider made during the Heisei era.
>>23531083They tried it with Gavan and leaned hard on nostalgiabaiting when Metal Hero nostalgia isn't really a thing outside of SEA and Brazil.
>>23530969cat looking motherfucker
>>23531088I think ZO perfectly represents the whole "refined" kaijin fighting for justice aspect pretty well.
>>23531090I still remember Brazil supposedly working on a Juspion movie....years later, nothing.
>>23531097ZO is overrated, sucked off by people who are averse to actual Showa entries. Ichigou's design is the vision of the creator himself, drawn by his own hands.
>>23530890>Additionally, of the four main male characters who appear early on, three (Kenzaki, Hajime, and Kotaro) all have long brown hair and a similar appearance, which makes it difficult to tell the characters apart and places unnecessary strain on the viewers.I brought this up here when I watched Blade a few years ago and got called racist lol
>>23531105Frankly the only way to tell Kenzaki and Hajime apart is that Hajime is noticeably shorter lol
>>23530969I like his bulge
The captcha sure is being fucky right now
>>23531121Good thing it still works on slow boardsFaster boards have been dead for 2 hours already
>>23531125Looks like it's back to normal now
https://x.com/a3_event_vol3/status/1968585818454507911Ghost 10th anniversary Graffart
>>23531130Necrom my beloved
>>23530969Lmaohttps://twitter.com/kimela51818298/status/1950706083246551332
>>23530969I wanna see a side view of the helmet, the plushie implies the v-fin wraps around back
>>23530638I think I actually prefer it this way. This sort of resolution actually feels kind of "right" whereas how they decided to end W felt much too forced that we pretty much all agree at that the penultimate episode is the real finale. For sure the ending does feel rushed however. They really could have done a Faiz-2 or something, but I'm glad the show didn't end up dragging on>>23530723>Out of all of Inoue's shows, this is my favorite. I think it does everything he likes to do best, and Kaixa seems to be testament to it.This is my first Inoue show so all his tropes were completely new to me. I think I'm going to watch Ryuki and Build first and then move onto Kuuga before finally going to Agito to experience my second Inoue show. As much as I enjoyed Faiz, I think I need a small break from the craziness that was the latter half of it lol>>23530736To me Delta in general felt like a complete afterthought that Inoue had to include because of hire ups. I think he really fumbled Mihara to be honest, someone mentioned it before but I think Kaidou would have been the best character to take over as the main Delta user. I think becoming a rider would ruin Keitarou's innocence and charm
>>23531130>Necrom's final TV form is GrimmGrimmWhy not Sanzang when him learning to use it was his power-up in the TV series?
>>23531176>the v-fin wraps around backNot really, more like it has an opening but doesn't wrap all the way around
Where can I download Kamen Rider #4?
>>23531252Reminds me of Glaive's helmet at the moment.
>>23531213>They really could have done a Faiz-2 or somethingEven at that point in time it was more or less accepted that every show would be standalone, with no sequels, as the next new show started production before its predecessor ended. It's up to each producer and writer to plan how they're going to tell a full story within the 50~ episodes their show is set to have.
>>23531090>Metal Hero nostalgia isn't really a thingAny reason this would be the case? It still aired for 17 years or so.Lack of central identity? It didn't air in the 2000+ era which the newer toku kids have more nostalgia for?
Finally
>>23531130I still haven't watched this season, waiting for one day when I'm really bored and don't have anything else to watch.
>>23531276Honestly Metal Heroes didn't really have definite identity compared to Rider (single hero), Sentai (group heroes) and Ultra (giant hero) Metal Hero went with space cops, rescue police, mascot heroes, and the genre name didn't even exist until B-Fighter.They have the same problem as Fushigi Comedy.
>>23531213>then move onto Kuuga before finally going to Agito to experience my second Inoue show. Agito is a bit more restrained because it was a follow up to Kuuga and still just the second Heisei season, it's like Kuuga 2.0 but you already can feel some of Inoue's iconography, just not to Faiz's level.
>>23531105In all fairness the long, messy brown mop was a massively popular and common hairstyle for young Japanese men for the entirety of the 2000s and early 2010s.
>>23531284>>23531276Yeah, this is something people don't seem to realize. "Metal Hero" as a brand didn't even exist until Metal Heroes themselves were almost dead. It was a just programming block with various tokusatsu series often sharing similar staff and aesthetics, with a few sequels and crosovers and here there. But they weren't advertised as a single line of shows until it was already too late.
>>23531098Weren't they also working on a game?
>>23531279Stronger looks like he's gonna violate me
>>23531078>>23531100Bet Ichigo is the only Showa series you've ever watched, posers.
>>23531213Yeah, Delta doesn't even exist in the Inoue novel. So you can tell he'd prefer to not have to include it.
>>23531287And Faiz was more a follow up on the themes from Agito with the next stage of human evolution becoming malevolent with the orphenochs as opposed to benign like the agitos.
>>23531090The most successful Metal Hero outside JP is Kabutack due to China, but Toei wasn't pandering to them yet during their last Metal Hero revival.>>23531098Meanwhile the bilibili just goes and shits out a brand new CNY special for Kabutackhttps://www.bilibili.com/festival/bnj2025?bvid=BV13EfpYKEMb
>>23531213>They really could have done a Faiz-2 or something, but I'm glad the show didn't end up dragging onThe Faiz novel basically says that the next Faiz would be Yuka and Keitaro's hybrid kid (who's possibly also an agito). If you squint alittle bit, he basically repackaged the idea in a very general way with Kiva plus a huge dose of Den-o-isms.
>>23531345>Yuka and Keitaro's hybrid kidWhat does this even mean
>>23531328V3, Stronger and Black are better shows than the original, and X, Skyrider (OG), Amazon and Super-1's suits go hard too even if their shows aren't as good as those.
>>23531352Super-1 is the worst Showa Rider and has no right having such a good suit.
>>23531347The 555 novel takes place in an alternate universe.
>>23531363So Yuka doesn't die and has a kid with Keitarou?
>>23531352My favorite is Stronger.Ichigo is a good watch to get all the references over the years.But I won't lie, even the "top-tier showa" doesn't get close to my liking of some Heisei seasons, Showa might have some cool scenes in isolation but they don't have that connecting thread that resonates emotionally with you.>>23531361Super-1 first-half is kinda fun at least, but after the first big bad is defeated it becomes really generic.
>>23531255Found it on krdl under yongou
https://kamenrider.fandom.com/wiki/The_Person_Who_Takes_OverThis is so fucked up
>>23531078Agito doesn't have a single bad suit in its series>>23531100J's better desu
>>23531365>So Yuka doesn't dieShe does, Kusaka mortally wounds her and she bursts into flames after giving birth to her and Keitaro's son.Here's a thread recapping some details of the novel:https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/8735839/#8735839And here's a link to the novel so you can read it yourself.https://revopotato.com/kamen-rider-faiz-novel/
>>23531375>According to Suzumura's summary of the episode, it picks up directly from the last scene of the finale with Takumi lying down, before devolving into a comedy with inside jokes from the staff.I definitively remember watching something like this for Kuuga. I imagine it's the same vibe.
>>23530968Didn't realize that's the action figure at first glance, it's a really cool toy.
>>23531394I went to Japan and when I came home my Zero-One that was standing on my desk went missing, leaving only his action base. It's been a year and I still haven't found him, I think he got Toy Story'd

>>23531407Maybe someone who had the keys to your house (parent/family) brought someone else and they were sneaky about it.If nobody else has keys to your house... then it would be really weird for someone to invade and just take this one thing.

>>23531415I don't live alone so that's likely, but I don't know who would go into my house and steal my Zero-One toy of all things in the 2 weeks I was gone
>>23531394I really do like Zeztz's design for its relative simplicity and sleekness, especially compared to most of the other Reiwa Riders.
>>23531394Can't wait to see the cape in action.

Haven’t taken photos of my Riders in ages, this is the longest I’ve gone without posing them. Felt good to take some pics again but man is it time consuming and kinda hurts my back.
>>23531592Nice Gavv posing.
Revice has an extremely underrated design, I think it’s incredible colors and all Sucks the show is as bad as it is
>>23531579Base Saber sucks but I really like Dragonic Knight.
Started to tap out here, I for sure could’ve hit this pose better and have before, just in my old display case and not this proper light box setup I have now. Decently happy with how this one turned out though

i love kamen rider
I think Kamen Riders should die. All of them.
>>23531643>t.Shirakura
>>23531643>>23530968I think Kamen Riders are not weapons.
>>23531653Said the war criminal as he unloads unto the ex-convict that he has a grudge with.
>>23531664It was for Love and Peace.
The Rider fight shall continue.
>>23531635All things considered, Rider has more good entries than a lot of franchises out there.
That's only true for Heisei.Reiwa has been a complete shitshow .
>>23531635(You)
If we do ever get a Joker City movie, if Shotaro gets new a power up. I kinda hope it's just something simple, (Im)Perfect Joker.
Is Den-O the season with the weirdest story as to how it was conceptualized?
>>23532033What do you mean?
>>23531936I was going to suggest Joker Wild, but that's Chalice's. I don't play enough Balatro to come up with any good Joker variants.
>>23532041Correct me if I'm wrong, but iirc Den-O was conceptualized>Shirakura wanted to make a Kamen Rider with a train motif because trains are popular with kids>Told Plex to make the suits have the cool Kamen Rider feel but Plex struggled on how to make trains look cool>Shirakura said a saying of Momotaro to motivate them>Plex thought he meant the saying literally which led to Den-O's motif being trains + fables>When trying to come ip with the cross of fire concept, he decided for a parasite relationship to make use of the fable motif and hire famous voice actors to expand Kamen Rider's audience reach>Hired Kobayashi to make the season have a drama feel>Shirakura struggled to come up with a destination for the trains to complete the world-building>The pilot director really wanted to use an old set, so Shirakura agreed and tried to come up with a setting that would allow to use a building that's stuck 10 years in the past>The options were a Spirit World or Time Travel, Shirakura lost the majority vote and time travel won, apparently he hates time travel due to making stories unnecessarily complex >He struggled to come up with a way to not make the setting confusing for kids while also coming up with a good setting excuse so that they can only time travel 10 years in the past due to budget limitation>This led to what Shirakura calls "the 7 days from hell" where hardly anyone from the staff slept for multiple days trying to come up with the setting>The ultimate conclusion was to give the impression that the show is written by idiots, so the first half has a higher emphasis on comedy than any previous rider while not having a proper plot structure, then once Zeronos gets introduced the true story and drama elements starts>Kobayashi then came up with Ryotaro being an extremely unlucky person since it would be funI'm just surprised with how much of Den-O was seemingly incidental, I know that's common for Toei Toku but Den-O feels more incidental
>>23532053lmao it really feels like they stumbled downstairs to come up with the final product. It almost feels like a joke inside Den-O itself.>Plex thought he meant the saying literally which led to Den-O's motif being trains + fablesThis bit reminds me of how Symphogear came to be.
>>23532053Not surprising given how chaotic production was on for Kabuto (the previous show). Shirakura seems to stop giving a shit around that time period and his production like Den-O, Kabuto, Decade and Zi-O were just winging it with the story elements done on the fly.
>>23532062Crazy to think if that miscommunication hadn't happened, Symphogear wouldn't have one of its most iconic elements (singing during combat)Honestly I want a singing Rider.
>>23531599No, it's a shitty design.
I want to get a bootleg CSM but they're so much that I might as well go all the way and wait for an eventually new version or re-release
Birthday cake
>>23532043>I was going to suggest Joker Wild, but that's Chalice's.Wouldn't be the first time upgrades have shared names.
>>23532108she's been a birthday cake since 10 years ago
https://twitter.com/KamenRider_EN/status/1968042246114336960"Are you more of a Shotaro or a Philip?"
>>23532167Well she's still a birthday cake regardless, especially today
>>23532043Balatro is another word for jester to begin with.
>>23532167I know christmas cake, but the hell is a birthday cake in this context?
>>23532175oh wait I misread birthday cake with christmas cake
>>23532198
A half-baked thought, but I think a Kamen Rider Persona-like has potential. Manage your out-of-suit responsibilities and relationships and drama while dismantling the various subsections and departments and operations of an evil organization that has the city in a vice grip or whatever. Swap personas for form changes and it's basically right there.
>>23532251A Persona-like or Yakuza-like would work very well with the structure of a KR season overall.
From the vietnamese fb leaker>A few descriptions of Kamen Rider Zeztz's first Power Up Form and the dark warrior appearing around the middle of the show.>>Kamen Rider Zeztz Power Up Form (tentative name): uses the Inazuma Capsem with a dominant golden yellow color and an overall silver-gray body, not much different from the Base Form.>>This form is equipped with a bow-type weapon that can combine with the Zeztz Breaker.Additionally, there is a Capsem, tentatively called Booster, which adds some titanium-colored details to the neck, face, and both arms of this form.>>Dark Hero (tentative name): it is not yet clear if this is a Rider, but still uses a diagonally worn Driver, with asymmetrical arm design language similar to Nightmare; one arm is quite large and mechanical, and the shoulder is rounded like a Capsem.Has any of the usual Chinese leakers commented on this?
>>23531279It's weird how this leaked>Some users in Japan received emails advertising about a new Set DX Ride Watch for Showa Rider from P-Bandai but were quickly recalled afterwards.>Although there is no specific image yet, but according to the email advertisement, this product set has a listed price of 15,400 yen and is expected to open for pre-order on 18/09.
>>23531375>So here’s this joke episode we made but we’re not gonna release it to the public That’s kinda egotistical
>>23532289>Has any of the usual Chinese leakers commented on this?This one is definitely new, the only implication of a dark Rider we had was the metion that there will be a Dark Zeztz but I'm not sure if they actually hinted at it or were just commenting about the Darkness sound in the Zeztz Driver. The design sounds really drastic for it to be a simple palette swap of Zeztz though, could possibly be the tertiary Rider.
>>23532300Honestly though Toei studios seems like a fun workplace judging by all the side project they do. I bet those are like mini projects pitched by staff
>>23532308>Toei studios seems like a fun workplaceIt is until you decide to be sexual, then it becomes a witch burning
>>23532309Isn't that a good thing? We can't have scandals from the people that make the shows our children watch
>>23532302He’s replacing Nox Knight as Zeztz’s evil counterpart as Nox has turned into Yezz by that point.
The only pure unicorn btw
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10051318235
>>23532327thank you chinese shitposters
>>23532311>We can't have scandals from the people that make the shows our children watchwell...
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10052221247
>>23532322what if she's the Sumino replacement knowing Matsuura-P worked on Gotchard and Hotaro was straight up Universe Gosei Red
>>23532332It'll most likely the future resistance girl. She's been posting pics of herself at the Toei lot but so far nothing has come out that would feature her in it
>>23532334>She's been posting pics of herself at the Toei lotit's just one pic last December
>>23532329They're really funny.
>>23532331translation?
Thank fucking Christ for Fuwa in Zero-One. These episodes have been freefalling and he falls like the only fucking character who's doing anything to try and figure out the situation and is actually thinking.
Gear up for Nox Knight
>>23532289I guess there's our tertiary, hopefully color and lemon elaborate on it more
>>23532289Glad to know that Dark Zeztz isn't just a recolor and that it might not even be a Rider. Honestly this description almost makes it seems as if it will be a Nightmare based on Zeztz, as if someone is either scared of Zeztz or wants to be Zeztz so the Nightmare achieves it by becoming a Dark Zeztz.
>>23532346I'm thinking of something like Jamato Riders in Geats.
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10041938313
>>23532341I have a feeling you're really not going to like a certain reveal concerning Fuwa's backstory.
>>23532355Oh don't worry that one did happen, and it's fucking retarded and sucks. It's also made so much more stupid by the fact that he just does the System Shock 2 ending and gets over it. But whatever, he's still around which is nice.
>>23531375This is so not fucking fair, the Kuuga extra episode was pure sovl, really what the hell is stopping them from releasing this?What's the point of reveleaing this thing's existence if they're not going to actually release it?
>>23532362The literal baton pass...
>>23532350when are we going to admit that Rider 2 is a design improvement from Rider 1
>>23532300>>23532362Suzumura, Handa and Haga said during the 20th anniversary that they hope they can show it to the fans one day.https://x.com/suzu_n_official/status/1694155690133307557
https://twitter.com/bandai_ridertoy/status/1968872927845122202
well i guess i should start to watch gavv now
kek
>>23532376>>23532377It's crazy that they got Gochizos before Ridewatches.
>>23532346I don't think it's Dark Zeztz at all, sounds like something completely different. I feel like instead of a separate Rider, the Darkness sound could just be for a berserk/dark form for Zeztz.
>>23531375Is there other well-known "lost media" in Kamen Rider?
Well I guess I should start to watch JAVs now
Fun fact: The early bird cameo is the only OOO related movie that doesn’t have any questionable continuity issues. For some reason even Kobayashi herself can’t keep track of how many medals Eiji should have
The other pictures.
>>23532400I think it's probably a matter of they have no control over when a movie actually ends up hitting theaters and in a show like OOO where medals are constantly being passed around, it's probably hard to keep continuity
>>23532400At least within the TV show itself OOO seemed consistent, I liked the end transitions showing which medals he had at the moment.
>>23532393There's already a Capsem that's seemingly for a Berserk form called the Break Capsem, the belt also treats the Darkness Capsem as if it was for another rider just like how Erase and other 2 Capsems seemingly belong to Yezz. It makes more sense for this Dark hero to be the Dark Zeztz that color implied since he was really vague about it and for this Dark hero to either use the Darkness or Nightmare Capsems.
The Showa Rider watches.
>>23532400Was there any issue with Megamax?
>>23532416Didn't they put crunchers in riderman's helmet somewhat recently? Did they go back?
>>23532418The movie itself? No Everything that takes place after Megamax is the issue. FINAL and Resurrection acts like he doesn’t have medals
>>23532419https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/18676465/#q18677617There was only a fanedit from what I recall.
>>23532289>Nox finally becomes an ally and a Kamen Rider>New rival shows upZeztz can't catch a break huh
>>23532438Honestly given how much Yanaka emphasized that he wanted to convey Baku as someone lonely I'm expecting Nox to be more of a anti-hero who's against everybody
It's weird that Black RX has a ridewatch for each form yet Black has nothing.
>>23532336>>23532383>Chinese toku meme: funny>Western toku meme: shittiest shit
>>23532376>>23532377Are these showed up on Zi-O Final Stage or they just want to complete Showa despite never actually showed up in the official materials?
>>23532451It's because RX got "technically Heisei" treatment while the entire airtime of Black was still Showa.
smol Baku
>>23532469Where is NEET version of him
>>23532474He couldn't make it. He lost his train card while helping an old lady with her bags.
>>23532474I don't know how the reception right now but I feel the NEET Baku gonna be more popular than his agent self because of his puppy-like personality.
>>23532446Yeah I suppose that Nox will be more of a lone-wolf, independent agent after becoming Yezz
>>23532469Cute. I'm warming up to Baku so quickly for some reason.
>>23532484Agent Baku is cool and all but NEET Baku is where it's at
Just a pic of all the main heroines. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
>>23532438Saber and Gavv had it rougher in Q2.
>>23532495why Kiva and Geats got two slots?
>>23532484Ace is more popular than Keiwa, Tendou is more popular than Kagami.
>>23532495Seven of the girls here aren't virgins.
>>23532495Why are they so smug? Also is that rule 63 or is Banjo simply cross dressing?>>23532499Kiva's case it's because they're including Wataru's main girl and Otoya's main girl, although it's weird since they could have just put both on the same slot as he did with Hana. Don't know why he included Tsumuri, I assume because she's Takahashi's mascot girl that season despite not being the female lead
>>23532495This artist's smug fuck art style annoys me...
>>23532495>>23532510I fucking hate all those red nose tier stylized shadpw circles they keep adding on all the faces.
EternalSleeper put out the Amazon rip for Zeztz 2
>>23532495>Heroine?No thanks, that's the type of shit that'll get you fucked up.
>>23532509>Also is that rule 63 or is Banjo simply cross dressing?No it's the normal Banjo, the actor joked about he's the Build heroine in one of the stage greetings, I think it was around Heisei Generations Forever.
>>23532521I remember that, I'm asking because his hairdo looks different and he looks like he has boobs in that art
>>23532289You do know there were lots of fake text leaks from the Vietnamese Facebook, and almost (actually, I kinda sure none of them) all of them never came true, right?
>>23532525the hairdo happened in the show, it was the tempura-like hairdo and not even for crossdressing scene
>>23532512They all look like they have Prince Zuko’s facial burn.
>>23532289>all maleBased
>>23532566people keep saying Takahashi shows are guaranteed with female Riders but Zeztz already break his tradition of having more than one Riders in the beginning of the show, maybe the female Rider tradition will also broken
>>23531061If you like the Ryuki suits, your opinion is invalid.
>>23532487>>23532491Because you're a bunch of closeted reiwanewfaggot that's why
>>23532570Then I have no reason to spend money on Zeztz. If I can't have rider girl ass on my shelf then I'm not wasting money on it because unlike you lot I'm not a massive homosexual.
>>23532597>You can't like newest MC because you'd be a reiwanewfag!!!!
>>23532603Majade will be the face of female Rider for five years since her debut.
I don't think we'll be getting two back-to-back shows without a female Rider, honestly. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
If Rina Onuki is the one who gets to be female Rider is /krg/ going to turn against her?
ZI-O is the last good fuckin show and I will not hear otherwise.
>>23532626The belt would just smash their boobs. Or they figure it's easier to just give the main rider more forms than having more riders.
>>23532639>The belt would just smash their boobs.This is actually a solid point.
>>23532639Consider Belt going between tits making them more pronounced
>>23532637more like force my dick against her
>>23532647Into, anon. You don't want the entire sex to be just thighjobs.
>>23532603They just don't want to confuse gaijins when a female becomes and gets called a rider but not have a bike.
>>23532637I'd be happy actually
>>23532637I think Lopo was well received here because she didn't overstay her welcome. Who knows now that her actress is part of the main cast now.
>>23532626We will get a new female rider from Girls Remix regardless.
>>23532638best part about Zi-O was the .5 episodes
>>23532648i have a weird fetish..
>>23532662>I think Lopo was well received here because she didn't overstay her welcomeIt's because she was hot, non-coombrains just saw her as yet another one of Neon's orbiters.
>>23532662That's what I'm kinda worried, I remember we all loathed Sakura and hopes that Neon is better which is a low bar but then /krg/ just hates Neon as well. Granted her character is flawed as hell, but you know how it is. But at the same time Sabela and Lopo are well liked (though I wager Sabela is criticized for her constant brothercon)
>>23532674The only part of Neon I don't like was how she got away from being a Dezastar/Desister/whatever because the next mission appeared too soon. Beside that I think she's just fine?
>>23532673I thought her backstory was convincing but she ended up getting little screentime.
>>23532679Did you forget that she scammed Keiwa early on in the show right after he had saved her fucking life by giving her a Boost Buckle for free? Or how she spent Q3 being all woe is me and wishing she could disappear while everybody else was fighting to save people's lives? Or how her immediate reaction to the news of Sara's death is mentioning that they had plans to buy furniture for the apartment she rented after she left home? Or how she visited her dad in prison just to ask if she could give her a belt and then called him pitiful before she left?
>>23532691I don't and wow, you sure listed everything more than her fans.
Revice burnt me out to the point where i forgot what happened in Geats and skipped Gavv entirely, let's hope Zeztz hit this time
Why the sudden comedy episodes in Ryuki? I don't dislike it, and there's always been jokes, but it feels pretty jarring to go broadly serious episodes culminating in the 13th rider popping in, actually bitch slapping the other rides, then going back in time to save a painting, followed by, well, the next two episodes.
>>23532711K I N O U E
>>23532703Watch Gotchard.
>>23532711The 2000s had this pattern where Inoue suddenly appeared for comedy two-parters, I love the Blade ones.
>>23532711Inoue wrote a couple of the episodes and they're mostly comedic. He did the same thing with Timeranger.
>>23532711Awkward humor is a recurring thing in early heisei. That's why DenO is a milestone, it's the one that adjusted the tone to be lighter and went full-on with the comedy so it doesn't feel out of place.
>>23532714i dropped it by Christmas and only came back when Legend showed up for the legend rider fan service and droppes it again after. The Gotcha! spam was too much for me
>>23532703>skipping gavvYour loss
>>23532528NTA but the source is from page that leaking earlier Zeztz info. I still give it benefit of doubt of course but all their info so far is 85% true.
>>23532719Den-O around the second half gets a lot of the heavy tone back.That's a key difference between early and later Heisei imo, it isn't that the later seasons are 100% light, they just start more easygoing and build into denser themes, meanwhile early Heisei already starts dense from the get go (sometimes to its own detriment like with Blade).
>>23532721Everyone who watches Gavv experiences a loss the further they get into it.
>>23532327>>23532329>>23532336I love their weird sence of humor
>>23532734It's like a branch of net humor all their own. Japanese net humor is weird too but it's like an ant compared to how strange China's can get. Also their cat video content is the best in the world.
never knew Inoue's dad wrote a lot of Showa Rider. Now we got a whole family generation writing Showa Heisei and Reiwa Rider
>>23532714>>23532730Shameless gotshartfag.

>>23532748>RinneEither they wait until Girls Remix complete or I wonder this is also why she doesn't have her own character song during Gotchard airing.
>>23532748Her Daybreak version got an entry but they put "no image" in the character list.
>>23532754I know, it's funny when you go to Twilight Majade and it lists Atropos as the only user.
what an unlucky day for both Toei unicorn heroine actresses

Why are we still talking about Gotchard when new ZEZTZ is around the corner?

Still wondering why Minato don't make Houtaro appearance look more aloof
>>23532794It's crazy how much better he is as a dramatic actor compared to how he acted as Houtaro.
>>23532795You didn't even watch his other dramas.
>>23532289>>23532528Color posted the info now
>>23532785>Gotchard if these 3 had been the only Riders
>>23532794Crazy how much work he's been getting, he's pretty popular on social media too, shame he will forever live with shame knowing /krg/ hates him

>>23532053And yet it's a masterpiece.I, too, hate 99% of media involving time travel because it's always stupid bullshit that gets caught up trying to lecture you on the mechanics.Den-O is great because it doesn't even try to explain its mechanics, it just happens.
>>23532302I'm hoping the "Dark Zeztz" has colors similar to Dai0-gou from Shin.
So... This from Lemon? Do any have screenshots?
>>23532878Face is Noxknight mixed with IXA lol
>>23532886Yezz's face has already been described as similar to W Xtreme
>>23532878Sketch is not from lemon, but made from what I presumed seen the catalog.https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10053206095
>>23532878Before Kimela reposted it, I saw it on a Vietnamese page (different from the one that recently posted the leaks) two hours ago.
>>23532890
>>23532895
>>23532890The one below looks like YezzDriver that Lemon shares awhile ago
>>23532911But it can only place 1 capsem.
>>23532878>>23532890Not sure if I’m into the “add more balls” approach we might be getting for the enchantments this year.
Hey /krg/, pass me the pepper
[DEBATE]Would yakub works as a Villain in a kamen rider series?
Look at these cool looking jobbers
>>23532938the entirety of agito is just the overlord of darkness sperging out over humanity anon
>>23532890So are they going to have 7+ riders in Zeztz for all the Code Agents?
>>23532981its all a delusion in baku's dreams, so not unless he needs a partner to show up. they rarely ever show or even mention the other agents in james bond, and since they are harping that so hard this year, expect it to be similar.
>>23532981Nox was probably an agent, maybe the third rider is also an agent. And then theres the future Zeztz movie that they could use for another agent. I doubt they'll have 7 riders all cramped in that secret base. They seem to be returning to TRADITION like the trailer states.
Such cool looking villains wasted on a komura show
>>23532912It's supposed to be one that's split open
>>23532741And Inoue's daughter is writing Precure novels and episodes.
On episode two of ghost and it really doesn’t seem that bad of a series
>>23533096Yeah dude, I saw the logo of Revice and it doesn't seem that bad of a series
PEPSIMAN
On episode two of zeztz and it really doesn’t seem that bad of a series
>>23533128So is the top actually his eyes? And the bottom actually rider tears?
>>23533128Where did you get the hi-res version image? Even color only had the blurry one
>>23533136Be patient. Takahashi shows only start having problems after Q1.
>>23532741It's a whole family of nepobabies.
>>23533153They all legit stand out desuGrandad being one of the OGs, Inoue with his craziness, and Akiko Inoue makes some of the most fun Precure episodes.
>>23533128That capsem image is strange
>>23533147could be AI, the plushie doesn't have the round forehead badge and the belt strap is missing the detail like on Zeztz's belt.
>>23533198That's what I suspected too at first glance, but the eye part had texture on them which I'm kinda doubt AI could upscale that.
>>23532890>>23532895>>23532899So he basically just confirmed a tertiary and probably a fourth. I am a bit confused at what he's babbling about with the belts but I'm assuming he's saying there's two more Riders that have belts that look different from Zeztz and Nox.
>>23533136Episodes 1-3 are kind of an extended intro and they're all directed by Kami. On top of that, Takahashi's Q1s are generally pretty good. It's Q2 where things tend to fall apart.
I'm glad they haven't dropped the assist stuff yet with Plasma.
>>23532938They already did that, see DJ Chimp-it-Out.
>>23533221Seemed kind of obvious it's implying the third and fourth Riders share a third belt.
>>23532988>its all a delusion in baku's dreamsYou completely missed the point.
>>23533221>>23533308He might be saying this could be the 4th because of Dark Zeztz.
That Nintendo is sponsoring Zeztz?
I stopped watching riders about halfway through zero-one during the stupid human vs humagear shit, and couldn't get into any of the reiwa stuff. Is zeztz any good?
>>23533372>Is zeztz any good?It's only been 2 episodes, even Zero-One was good at that point. This show is written by Zero-One's writer btw,
>>23533372>halfway through zero-onehow dare you drop a series by this general's favorite, yuya takahashi
>>23533372It's only two episodes in watch it and find out you lazy faggot
>>23533381>>23533382I think i'll pass then, thanks
>>23533372>>23533393Do note that the main themes in a given show aren't chosen by the main writer per se.I think some writers can deal with some themes and ideas better than others, look no further than manga, anime, movies, etc. Some creators can tell better stories around theme A than theme B.Like how Inoue was fun with Faiz but Kiva delved too much into romance shenanigans.That is to say, the way I see Zeztz strucutred so far there's none of the potentially controversial stuff that was apparent from ep1 in both Zero-One and Geats (like humagears and the complicated DGP battle royale system).I would say keep an eye open and maybe ask again a few months from now.
>Writer-san wants Tycoon to be the main character>But Takebe suppressed himWhat do you think if Tycoon is the protagonist?
>>23533411Yeah I might give it a shot when it hits 10 episodes. I watched ep 1 during the livestream and it felt like there was too much going on in the first episode so I had no interest continuing. A lot of my zoomer friends are getting into riders now and keep bugging me to watch it with them but it doesn't really interest me anymore.
>>23533411Don't give anon false hopes just because you're willing to give Takahashi yet another chance to disappoint you.
>>23533432>it felt like there was too much going on in the first episodeThat's like the most common thing ever in japanese kid's shows, they need to get ep1 to the point where the transformation happens so not a lot is explained.
>>23533284Judging by the hacked sounds it seems like even Yezz will have assists luckily.Since Geats, Gavv and Zeztz have Riders using assists I assume this will become the norm from now on due to budget constraints but avoiding doing things like Gotchard where most side forms were retools, but then again all of Geats' assists were retools, I assume due to having too many riders?
>>23533428Link for the interview? I wasn't aware he wanted Keiwa as the protagonist, all I know Ace was Takebe's idea due to the Ukranian war
>>23533428Keiwa already felt more like the protagonist than Ace at times to me, and I also already like him better than Ace, so I'd probably like it.
>>23533481Found it by accident on baidu post where someone complaining about Takebe. I'm still looking for the full interview too.https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10053682992
>>23533372Only 2 episodes have released so far, they were really great but it's hard to judge how the show will be later on because these first 3 episodes were filmed as a pilot, from episode 4 onward will be the show proper with an episodic format then according to the producer the second half will be more serialized.The show seems promising so far because the producer seemingly wants to emulate early Heisei and also bring back bike action scenes, some of the choices made for this season should also mitigate somewhat the usual issues the main writer Takahashi has. The show is also going for a more "mature" feel like Build due to this being the first season to release overseas, since most of the already established western fanbase are adults which at least personally I prefer the show going with this direction. But like I said it's really hard to judge the show at the moment since we still haven't seen how the main dynamics are going to be executed, we won't know how most of the show will be until episode 4 releases so I'd say ask the question again once episode 6 airs.
>>23530969>this somehow isn't his rider form
sex with Lizel
>>23533573Okay, Hanto.
>>23533588This belt looks like a digivice.
>>23533588But why?
>>23533588>There's only one person who can take those Pic-a-nic baskets>And that's Me!
>>23533411The dream thing was chosen by Takahashi though. From what we know, he was the one that initially wrote the pitch that was chosen for Zeztz by the producers. It's only the spy theme that was chosen by MinatoP.
>>23533689I heard it was the opposite and Takahashi wanted to include the spy theme.
>>23533689>>23533709Both of you are kind of wrong. Takahashi had left an idea for a Kamen Rider that uses the powers of dream to fight, both Yanaka and Shirakura liked the concept so they picked it as a setting and Takahashi himself as the writer. Then Yanaka added the spy theme and how to handle the dream setting, it's weird because most of the interviews act as if most of the setting ideas were Yanaka's which makes me question just how much of Takahashi's original idea was kept. Minato is handling most of the visuals and action of the show, he's apparently really involved with the fashion designer of the show to design how everyone is going to dress up and also decided how they would handle the bike fight scenes.I forget if they specified which of the 3 producers hired Kami and who's the most involved out of the 3 when it comes to designing toys/forms, from my understanding Yanaka decided that Zeztz should look like Ichigo, use 4 forms reminiscent of Kuuga/Den-O and for the bike to become a robot, then plex decided on the torso belt idea and Kami decided that the suit would glow, but the toyline feels so reminiscent of Gotchard that I assume Minato did the rest. I also saw someone mention that apparently the Capsepms are also supposed to be film reels on top of gashsapon balls but I never saw if that was actually stated on an interview or blog.
>>23533689>The dream thing was chosen by Takahashi thoughHe stole it from a mangaka anyways.
>>23533753That's a lie by the mangaka, he doesn't own the concept of "entering dreams".
>>23533753That mangaka is pretending as if Wizard and Paprika don't exist, even in Japan everyone is clowning on the mangaka and taking Takahashi's side, the guy is either doing this as some sort of publicity stunt or he's just that closed-off making him illiterate to media.
>>23533765It's the mangaka continuing Berserk, he said that he saw that manga as a bonding between him and Miura or something (apparently Miura praised his manga just before passing away, or at least the manga concept? Not sure about the timeline).So the accusation was rash and emotional because of that.
Ngl, the SHF looks kind of odd. The joints stand out more than usual due to it being a bodysuit, and it's way lankier than the actual actor's proportions

>>23533779I noticed that too it makes me wonder if Kenta Nitta wasn't always supposed to be Zeztz's suit actor and the SHF was made earlier than usual since it was announced before the show came out unlike usual, but I feel that's very unlikely since the show should have already started filming before the SHF was designed unlike the other Bandai toys.

>>23533823Appreciate putting "henshin" back in
>>23533931I don't get the hype around it, honestly. It comes across as boring more than a "simple is best" vibe for me. It might be because there's no punch to it and it's grossly understated compared to how obnoxious the jingle is. I think I might've liked the package overall better if the jingle was also more understated.
>>23533939I think the concept is that he's going from night to day (good morning rider!), with the red lines being like the rising run. In that logic the flashy jingle still fits because it's an alarm clock.

>>23534044No.
Hey guys
>>23534030I remember Yanaka mentioning it in an interview which was why I said, but when I tried looking up the interview on the archive all I could find was a color leak saying what I said, so perhaps I misremembered even if it's probably true since color is almost never wrong: https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/23421232/#23426813But I still feel like Yanaka said the same thing as color somewhere, can anyone confirm?
>>23534048What am I meant to be seeing here
How many Rider shows are there where the base form doesn't become a jobber form by the midway point of the show?
>>23534065Bandai's scale creep.
>>23534070It's like Nawata is taller than Takaiwa or something...
>>23534073You can stop replying to me now, retard.
>Was going to ask about the Kuuga manga and what Inoue was cooking on it recently>Found pic-relatedthe fuck, is this why I couldn't find cbz uploads in nyaa past volume 1?
>>23534065Left is Shinkocchou Seihou and right is a modern Rider Figuarts. Shinkocchou Seihou keeps the original scale and size of 14.5cm while modern Rider Figuarts are 15cm and above whenever possible so waiting for a Shinkocchou Seihou Zeztz in theory would make him smaller than the normal Figuarts version.
Zero-One is causing me mental pain.
>>23534126That looks wrong.
>>23534127Don't worry, you weren't the only one who went through that.
>>23534126What PS3 game is this?
https://x.com/zeztz7toei/status/1969237803285279126
>>23534178
>>23534106Thanks for actually telling me and not sperging out like that other guy.Well...that's fine, isn't it? Since the GOOD Riders mostly already have Shinkocchou Seihou, I'd rather they all be in that scale together than worry about it being shorter or not. Their proportions look much better, too.
>>23534020ichinose...
Amazing how he finally found a role where his murder eyes are put to good use
>>23534218To be honest, the size increase just feels right for them. Especially when most figures from brands like Bandai and Good Smile are getting size creeped. Kamen Rider Figuarts at 15cm feel like the perfect balance where they're neither manlets nor towering over others. I don't mind the old scale but knowing how the modern Rider Figuarts scale I prefer the newer scale. I hope that whenever Bandai gets around to making Shinkocchou Seihou's of Reiwa Riders that they stick to the new 15cm scale. At worst it'll be consistent, all Heisei Riders are in the old 14.5cm scale and the Reiwa Riders in the 15cm scale.
>>23534218How am I the sperg when you believe a company like Bandai would even bother with the suit actor's heights when making their SHF when they haven't even ever body scanned Takaiwa once?
>>23534278Protip retard, I'm not >>23534073
>>23534298Then I literally answered your question when I responded scale creep, retard.
>>23534266It's the "he knows our secret" stare.

>>23532619I already have her figuarts. I've also got Jeanne and Aguilera.
>>23534302Yes you did, but you had to sperg out before that.Are you okay Anon? Honestly, it's not healthy to shit the bed over a simple discussion about toys.
>>23534407>No.>sperg outRiiiight. Fuck off, retard.

Is the 1988 Kamen Rider Black good?I'm new to this and I know most shows are self contained but I wanna watch some of the stuff that made this thing as famous as it is today whole waiting for new Zeztz.I also wanna watch the Shin movie, people say it's fun.
>>23534511KR Black is my favorite Showa season. I really like its vibe, much like the surrounding Metal Heroes entries of the time.
>>23534511If you want to learn about Kamen Rider history watch the first one from 1971, you don't need to treat like a normal show and bingewatch, it's very episodic so it's ok to watch it between episodes of another show.It also would help you to understand some bits of the Shin movie.But in general, I would recommend you to stay in Heisei seasons because they have more meat to their plot and character development, Black does have some solid stuff going for it tho, even it meanders a bit in the middle, the first cour and last cour are pretty good.
>>23534511Black is not amazing but still a great show, specially the final arc, I also recommend the Kamen Rider Black manga by Kamen Rider's original creator.If by Shin you're referring to the 90s film Shin Prologue then that movie is really bad and only remembered for the henshin sequence, the co-writer of the movie quit writing after that and became an actor instead. But if you are referring to the one that released in the 20s made by Anno then yeah that's pretty great, that said they later released an edited version that rearranges the movie into a mini-series with some new scenes which is generally considered to be better than the original movie version.
Yeah idc i miss build
