How are you feeling about the Kamen Rider Nox stuff so far?
>>23656862I love evil women!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNiPO7jli8A
>>23656858I like it more that Knight to be honest.
https://twitter.com/tokushoutsu/status/1996659184012845551"The powerless have no right to transform. The next Kamen Rider ZEZTZ airs on Saturday at 6:30pm PT / 9:30pm ET!"
What do you think of actual bugman Kamen Rider?
>>23656858Too Thousery
>>23656853I'm just a stranger...
>>23656853>>23656879I don’t get it.
>>23656872It could work, but I really don't like Shin's design. The "mouth plate" looks too much like a sad mouth. Also, not enough exoskeleton.The Black manga (and more recently Black Sun) have better takes on the same idea. Also, Gills and Another Agito.
the editing in hibiki is giving me schizophrenia
>>23656862So basically CODE isn't Zeztz's MI-6, but rather its Spectre?
>>23656872They're cool
>>23656858it looks much better then Knight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1zb1SKZFjk
>>23656872I thought the idea of the prior bugman sending out a psychic link to trigger Shin’s transformation was neat and unexpected. But for the most part it’s a movie I have to rewatch a lot because I can’t remember much of it outside of the spine rip scene.

>>23656872Badass. We need more organic riders that *actually* look organic.
>>23656911Nox Knight’s unbeatable record ends here

>>23656914RECOVERY
>>23656872I think an inherently insectoid appearance is one of the key requirements to channel the 60s SF horror roots of Kamen Rider. Bugs are so innately opposite to the human blueprint that combining their forms is super dissonant and dissonance like that is very key to good horror. I do hope Toei keeps experimenting with more biological, insectoid Rider designs like they've been doing for the past few years in non-mainline media since I know it's just not feasible in the Sunday kids' show model.
https://hjweb.jp/article/2451384/
>>23656922We know, Hiiro.
>>23656953That flying reminds me of a certain red man
I just watched the third episode of Faiz (I only watched up until Kaixa's debut originally before dropping it) and I forgot how much of an asshole Yuka's family is to her wow (actually Yuji's remaining relatives are also assholes to him, why did Inoue make them suffer so much this early).I also forgot the knuckle thingy Takumi uses this episode was a thing, given Inoue hates showing off toys I'm guessing this thing will be used one more time tops.
>>23657011>why did Inoue make them suffer so much this earlyTo actually kind of justify why Yuka'd kill her sister (with the other girls in the school) and Kaiba killng his girlfriend (played by Timepink) and her new boyfriend and thus justify why they had to die by the end of the show. Kaido is the only survivor of the Orphenoch Trio and I think he's the only one that doesn't take human life.
>>23656903>already a different hair colorI guess Zeztz is done filming
what happens to /krg/ at the 100th anniversary of Rider?
>>23657061we will all be dead
>>23657061Don’t know. I won’t be alive to see it anyway.
>>23657061Our grandsons will keep the general alive through shitposting the 100th show, as Rider finally gets canned forever.
>>23657061Shirakura finally makes a post here.
>>23656858It looks worse than Knight, as well as other Rider versions of past Rivals, and it's mostly because of that ugly ass color scheme.
>>23657061Cancelled for Project G.R.E.E.N.
Ice phoenix
>>23657011>I'm guessing this thing will be used one more time topsNah, it gets used more than that. Kaixa also has his own version.
>>236570614chan is realistically not going to last another decade
>>23656858Looks more evil than Nox Knight, think this is the first time a Rider version of a rival looks more evil than their rival formThe design looks really cool but need to the see the suit materials to judge it properly
>>23656872His suit and fights were fucking awesome, the movie as a whole is one of the worst Kamen Rider movies of all time, you can really tell that the creative differences that happened behind the production dragged the movie downI really wish they'd remake Shin's suit, it's always sad seeing him in group shots but him not being able to actually fight despite how awesome his fighting style is
>>23656939This anime has no right being as good as it is, I really hope they're eventually able to convince Spirits' mangaka to make an anime adaptation
>>23657272Shin deserves better then a manakin
>>23657280Does he? Does he really?
https://x.com/HKR20_official/status/1997403207774122468Kamen Rider Ainz
Does anyone have the Blade webm where the two riders drive their bikes into one another?(Forgot which two)
>>23657285It's Eins, I'm just retarded. Female Kamen Rider 1....I guess? Eins is 1 after all.
>>23657282Yeah he does, even if the movie sucks he's treated as a mainline protagonist and he's cool as fuck
>>23657018Honest question, would you chimp out if you woke up from a coma after two years and found out your girlfriend had left you for someone else?
>>23657289Very cool suit
>>23657289>>23657285Huh so she doesn't actually use capsems, I thought her belt was foreshadowing ZeztzWhat is her bike a retool of?
>>23657289Quite like the suit, hopefully this special and Zeztz's tertiary are actually well written and able to break from the female Rider curse
>>23657289>>23657285Black Femme: https://files.catbox.moe/fyu3i8.mp4
>>23657308>nice ass>exposed hairNice, wonder who's her suit actressIs there a staff list?
>>23657308>>23657285>>23657289Interview: https://www.sanspo.com/article/20251207-G2IQ44NTHBJT7FQ7ZAHA7E7S7I/
>>23657285>>23657289>>23657308>they actually turned Fujioka's daughter into a RiderBummer, I actually liked the part in the last Girls Remix where the heroines stopped her from becoming a Rider because being a Rider is suffering.
She is her father's daughter
>>23657326Love the exposed hair
>>23657318>With her slender, beautiful legs, devastating high kicks, and a cool expression and burning gaze, Amane, the "daughter of Kamen Rider," has finally inherited this important role.
>>23657326Man, I really like this suit. Why can't all female Riders look cool like this?
>>23657342Her and mirror Shinji are hate fucking on the daily
>>23657342Apparently she's called Kamen Rider Fatal
>>23657313>staff listIt's on the teaser, Uchida and Sakamoto just like the other Girl Remixes
>>23657289>>23657326>>23657340>they gave her a completely original suit>they gave her a bike>they brought fucking Do As Infinity for her theme songDamn, they're going all out for Fujioka's daughter.
>>23657345Isn't it Fatale? As in Femme Fatale?
>>23657345Thouser member?
>>23657342>>23657345Can they get actual Femme if she's willing and not busy? She's the first after all...
>>23657359>ThouserThey're called Hundred.
>>23657318>The "daughter of Kamen Rider." has finally inherited this important roleOkay, little fan wanky but if they ever decide to make a mini series between Eins and a new Rider for Fujioka's son, I wouldn't be against that.
m sorry if I'm coming off as a newfag but how exactly did Hiroki Uchida land a job at Toei? He's the direct apprentice of an Ultraman writer and he was working on Ultraman specials before Rider, who was the contact that brought him to Toei? Hasegawa?Because I know Uehara came to Toei after him and Tsubaraya left Toho, Hasegawa was due to having previously worked with Sanjo for anime, Takegami was due to his works in Toei anime, Aikawa was due to a recommendation by Takegami and Yuji was due to GaroBut I have no idea how Uchida landed here and I'm surprised that by now he has done more work for Rider than Ultraman considering his origins as a writer
>>23657326>>23657289Is she a dragonfly?
i'm new to kamen riderwhat exactly is girls remix?
>>23656853>AI slop opOP as a faggot as always
>>23657370It's a series of crossover specials that focuses on Rider heroines, both transforming and non-transforming ones.
>>23657366I think she's supposed to be an ant
>>23657365You don't need to have had prior experience working for Toei to get hired, Revice's main screenwriter didn't. Uchida having experience writing for Ultraman and Garo would have been enough to get him hired on a show like Saber that was already having major production problems.
https://www.sanspo.com/article/20251207-G2IQ44NTHBJT7FQ7ZAHA7E7S7I/父が演じた1号役の本郷猛と共通する改造人間で、同設定の女性仮面ライダーは史上初となり、父が演じた初代の系譜を受け継ぐことからドイツ語で「1」を意味するアインズと命名された。Apparently she is a cyborg too?
>>23657377>"I want to convey the sorrow of becoming a cyborg, the struggle to overcome it, and the strength of spirit through my gaze. This is a project where I poured everything I've cultivated up until now into it with all my heart.”
>>23657380>I want to convey the sorrow of becoming a cyborg, the struggle to overcome it, and the strength of spirit through my gaze.
>no more Rinne content after thisThank god
>>23657363https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGLOq6QwTuUHis debut work was actually a Toei movie from 2012, just not a tokusatsu one.
>>23657376>on a show like Saber that was already having major production problemsI don't think they hired him due to production issues, they didn't seem to be struggling much with COVID restrictions by that point and they had more than enough writers as is.
>>23657384They were filming something Gotchard-related recently.
>>23657375I can see it, thank you.
>>23657376Thanks that makes sense, speaking of Saber I saw this Figure-Oh interview that goes further on its original plan as well as an interview with Sachika's actress: https://pastebin.com/n0EBhqMi
>>23657377>>23657383Man, I know they're making her a cyborg for the family connection, but I really wish they had done this for the previous one shot Rider 1 homages like Aqua and Century too, because Aqua's origin is kind of nothing, and Century's whole set up was just stupid and kind of hurt him (the whole stuff about needing to fuse with an old man that's actually his son).
>>23657387They were definitely having problems with Fukuda not being able to write fast enough given in the press conference they said Fukuda would be more involved than in Ghost only for Saber to end with Hasegawa saying Saber had no main writer.
>>23657390Am I misreading this or did they actually get to film two episodes of Saber's original setting? That's messed up having to throw all of that away due to the virus
>>23657373so is it like not canon?
>>23657394Don’t worry about canon.
>>23657340Too... Hot...
>>23657335Leather is expensive
I see Build fell victim to the classic Japanese storytelling trope of "villain who has been built up for the entire series isn't actually the final villain but it's actually another villain nobody knew about who shows up at the last second"
>>23657402No? It really is just that one guy the whole time from the very start.
>>23657394I don't think it has been referenced by any running Rider series, but it also only used heroines from the currently running show back in the first special with Revice. Outside of that it's just has used characters from older series. It is written like it's canon though. You get references and flashbacks to the events of all series involved.It's not written like an AU.
>>23657272>one of the worst Kamen Rider movies of all timeDo you include all ~100 movies, just the ~70 theatrical releases or just the "movie"-movies (i.e, not just bonus episodes of TV shows and actually intended to be taken somewhat seriously) which number at about 7 or so?
>>23657404I think he's referring to them doing the bullshit alien possession twist instead of letting the main villain be Soichi himself.
>>23657272>>23657280Well, mannequin Shin only really happened once. We just don't get many of those All Rider type crossovers anymore.
>>23657412You don't even meet Soichi until the 30s or so. >>23657402Most seasons do this and you picked one that genuinely doesn't.
>>23657394It's canon, nearly all shows take place in the same universe and nearly all crossovers are canon. The first one was later indirectly referenced in one of the shows.
>>23657348Not just one theme song, they gave this special TWO Do As Infinity songs>>23657340This one was composed and arranged by Hi-yunk from BACK-ON, nice to see them continuing to work on Rider.
>>23657416>You don't even meet Soichi until the 30s or so.We meet Soichi in the first episode, and if you're referring to the "real" one, re-read the "bullshit alien possession twist" part.>Most seasons do thisThey don't.
>>23657287
>>23657421>We meet Soichi in the first episode, and if you're referring to the "real" one, re-read the "bullshit alien possession twist" part.I mean, whether you like the twist or not, the Soichi you saw was always the alien. "Real" Soichi basically only appears in some flashbacks.I don't even get why they had a "real" Soichi rather than Evolt just taking a human form. Soichi is basically written out of the show when Evolt isn't possessing him, and then Evolt uses his look anyway. It's clearly not a matter of them wanting a good friendly version of Soichi since they don't use him.
Webm attempt.
>>23657439AAAAAAASS
>>23657438>I mean, whether you like the twist or not, the Soichi you saw was always the alien. "Real" Soichi basically only appears in some flashbacks.With that attitude you can say every single retcon ever makes sense and isn't a retcon.
>>23657444How can you differentiate between what's a retcon and what's a reveal? We aren't talking about going back and adding stuff to a finished story, or a reveal that deliberately contradicts what was set before like in Revice. Soichi was showing weird special powers for a while before it was revealed Evolt was possessing him.And even before the Evolt reveal you had the reveal of Soichi being the center of the pandora box incident, which was shown to modify people's personalities who weren't even as close to the open box as he was. So, from very early on, it never could have been just his natural personality driving things even before you learn it's actually an alien doing it.
>>23657447>Soichi was showing weird special powers for a while before it was revealed Evolt was possessing him.Everyone who gets in contact with the Pandora Box's fumes gains powers, now going from that to literally having a alien shoved up his ass all along feels like quite the stretch.>you had the reveal of Soichi being the center of the pandora box incident, which was shown to modify people's personalities who weren't even as close to the open box as he wasYeah, and that didn't mean everybody involved in that incident had an alien shoved up their asses literally controlling their each and every action.
>>23657438Evolt proceeds to possess Ryuuga and Sento, which leads to characters dealing with those characters being trapped and out of the picture, and leads to the dragon and rabbit evolbottles and forms. Oh, and he possesses Cyborg guy later too. Soichi being possessed sets up Evolt pulling that shit later on, and shows how it's not lethal. Soichi being in a coma is also red herring / checkov gun bait, "things can't get too bad because soicihi needs to wake up and be a dad again, oh wait.">>23657444How would you have preferred they explain why Soichi tried to grab Pandora's box at the showcase despite it being a totally alien artifact with guards actively piling on to him, and how his daughter is capable of refining Smashes? >>23657456>Everyone who gets in contact with the Pandora Box's fumes gains powers,Oh, you're just stupid.
>>23657422Thanks, that's the one! Although the version I remember had the scene right before of them activating cards.
>>23657456>Everyone who gets in contact with the Pandora Box's fumes gains powersI mean, in that case they outright turn into monsters. You don't see Sawa using special powers even though she was a Smash at one point. At least not without shacking/holding bottles.Soichi was showing special abilities that the other Transtream Gun users didn't have while transformed, and later used those abilities in human form without anything to trigger them unlike everyone else.>Yeah, and that didn't mean everybody involved in that incident had an alien shoved up their asses literally controlling their each and every action.It was an unknown alien artifact in the first place and he was at the epicenter of its opening, unlike everyone else. It's really not like we're talking about "aliens" suddenly dropping during a story that had nothing to do with other planets before then.>>23657466He was the one that found the box in the first place. They could always just make it so he was changed by the box and had a plan for it since he first got it in space (and that's what they effectively did, only it wasn't the box by itself in his case, but rather an alien possessing him). Still, considering how it'd never be just him acting naturally, I don't get acting like the Evolt reveal breaks the story.The issue would be if they had hidden all his involvement with the incident and it just looked like he was a complete bastard and then the Evolt stuff got introduced alongside him finding the box on Mars and opening it on Earth 30+ episodes into the show.
>>23657466>How would you have preferred they explain why Soichi tried to grab Pandora's box at the showcase despite it being a totally alien artifact with guards actively piling on to him, and how his daughter is capable of refining Smashes?They were all exposed to the Box beforehand, Soichi is literally the guy who extracted it from Mars, retard.>Oh, you're just stupid.The Box and its constructs are literally the source of Nebula Gas, you stupid retard. You know, the gas that everyone huffs to gain powers in this setting.
>>23657478>I mean, in that case they outright turn into monsters. You don't see Sawa using special powers even though she was a Smash at one point. At least not without shacking/holding bottles.It's case by case basis, depending on how each person's body adapts to it. Most people turn into Smashes but there are people who can tolerate it and functionally become superpowered humans instead.>Soichi was showing special abilities that the other Transtream Gun users didn't have while transformed, and later used those abilities in human form without anything to trigger them unlike everyone elseHe was directly exposed to the Box's raw power more than once.
>>23657449Wait she's getting two songs by Do As Infinity?
>>23657478>They could always just make it so he was changed by the box and had a plan for it since he first got it in space (and that's what they effectively did, only it wasn't the box by itself in his case, but rather an alien possessing him). Still, considering how it'd never be just him acting naturally, I don't get acting like the Evolt reveal breaks the story.That bullshit about the Box's light influencing people's personalities was only introduced when they started redeeming Gentoku after the Evolto reveal. It all felt like a convenient excuse to whitewash all the warmongering humans and pin all the blame on an alien outsider that was inherently evil by nature.>then the Evolt stuff got introduced alongside him finding the box on Mars and opening it on Earth 30+ episodes into the show.Evolto's existence as a character separate from Soichi was only revealed in the middle of the show.
>>23657340>>23657342When are we getting the "dark" version of Asakura who's a genuinely nice person that wants to help others.
>>23657505>That bullshit about the Box's light influencing people's personalities was only introducedYup, classic episode 1 lore retcon.
I want to cum on Kamen Rider Eins full clothed, henshin formed leather butt.
>>23657513Ok, you got me there, it's been a while since I watched the show. Build's themes were shakier than I thought right from the start.
>>23656879>Just a passing through roids faggot who sucks Chinese cockSeriously though, fuck off and stop fucking posting.
>>23657505>Evolto's existence as a character separate from Soichi was only revealed in the middle of the show.Yeah, but my point is that the Evolt reveal came after it was established he picked the box on Mars, was ground zero for opening it on Earth, the box messes with people's personality AND that Soichi had weird powers that others didn't have.We kept getting layers and more layers leading to that and even before that reveal, it was clear Soichi wouldn't be acting naturally. It's not like the Evolt reveal is coming out of nowhere and suddenly retconning him acting by his own will and not being involved with the alien plot elements of the show. The show kept unveiling layers that eventually led to the Evolt reveal alongside the reveal of what the Pandora Box was about.
>>23657516You're just too dumb for a kids show anon
>>23657512The first Outsiders episode.
>>23657536No,I just think the alien somewhat undermines the themes of war and humanity's mature. Maybe Build was a little bit too ambitious for its own good if they couldn't fully commit to a war story.
>>23657552Well, Namba had no Pandora box influence and he's the last human villain to fall, although he is basically treated like a clown by that point.I did kind of wish when the show was getting in late game he actually had some relevant way to deal with Evolt, but he really had nothing on him.

D'you think Infinity would've manifested as a different Gem if it was made under different circumstances. Like obviously Diamond is a good "Final Form" gem, but it's whole "indestructible" gimmick feels like it was made like that in-universe because the Phantom he was fighting at the time had literal space warping powers.
Welp, he failed to protect the space museum building from exploding. His first lost.

Wait the Kensei in the real world is still the Shadow Nightmare?
>>23657809No, he isn't. The preview shows Kensei sleeping in a bed somewhere and the description for next episode says that Baku will have to defeat the Shadow Nightmare to free himself and Nox from the nightmare world they're currently in.
>>23657361Too busy babysitting
Why did they get such an old actor to play Nox? It isn't like anything about the character means he's older than the average Secondary.
>>23657695What
>>23657829He's been stuck in la la land for god knows how long, in dream years.
>>23657829Probably wanted an experienced actor since the role is supposed to be "complex".
>>23657671Nem is so fucking hot
>>23657833He's not been missing for that long, Nasuka is his replacement.
>>23657345Wait is that Yellow Buster?
>>23657840I said dream years for a reason. He's been in there so long his dream self hair has started to turn white.
>>23657847But other than the hair he doesn't look visibly older at all. It's like Atropos being a teenager.

>>23657914Not funding a vanity project for a guy who’s already had a dozen vanity projects.
>>23657914Didn't he say that the next season will be the last and he will start a new toku all together after, and that the funding needed is for said new toku?
>>23657925yes I believe it's for a new series
Mission: Make Zetz more interesting
>Nox Knight is losing already
>>23656882It's John Cena holding an item. What's not to get, old man?
>>23657948Stop replying to tranny anon.
Given there's 6 transforming characters confirmed already, and with the reveal that Nox is Agent 4, there's probably one more Agent Rider/Rival coming, possibly Agent 1.
>tfw we never get a dirty suit
>>23657914What portion of my donation is being split with Kimito Totani's Unfuck My Life fund? This is important.
>>23657963Kamen Riders to often get their feet and butts dirty but you're right we hardly get to see their front armor dirty these days, when was the last time?
>>23657973Saber.
>>23657980Can you post a picture, I can't remember which fight
Hmmmm what if KR (and Toei in general alongside Project RED I guess) manages to secure a spot in next year's SDCC? Maybe they'll do a screening of the summer movies.
I have such mixed feelings about this show. On one hand I really like the dream gimmick because I'm a sucker for anything involving the dreamscape and the collective unconscious as a major plot element, but on the other the suits look like Spirit Halloween shit when in broad daylight and it's been pretty boring. Next episode looks like its picking up though
damn...... I think I get it now
>>23657994NTA but I remember pic related and that time Blades got caked in blood in Trio of Deep Sin >>23652371
>>23658019Personally I think Zeztz feels too safe and not outwardly weird enough, and for a show about infiltrating dreams that's just weird.Characters are fine I guess, the fights are fine, the music is great besides that one rap insert. Zeztz is pretty much just "fine."
>>23657746What was with that one autist bringing up the shitposter from Zi-O's era to deny this was happening
>>23658032You're a schizo shitposter either way, don't reply to me again.
>>23658037The show's direction isn't my fault...
>>23657680I thought for sure it would be this guy. It looks just like the Nightmare in the Erase capsem.
>>23658039Nox was never transitioning to a woman
>>23658027The actual fights themselves are decent yeah, the suits themselves just look a little cheap to me. I like Nox Knight's design in concept but in motion he just looks like an edgy baked potato. The ost is nice, I like that one that plays whenever he does the finishing move. I also like Zero a lot, and it's funny that he's voiced by a Wasian guy that was a MOTW in the first season of Garo, too (I had just watched that in October.) This is the first toku show I've been able to watch weekly as it was airing so I'm not sure if my expectations are too high or not.
>>23658042What the fuck are you talking about? What part of this involves trannies?
>>23658038Your untreated mental illness and annoyingness are your fault though.
>>23658047The sketch has boobs, anonIt's an Eva with boobs
>>23658045It definitely has the feel of "this is the first global show so we need to not be -too- weird."
>>23658026Thanks a lot
>>23658051Oh, you're addicted to porn. Got it.
>>23658039Since that Nightmare is more personal, shouldn't it be for his final form or something?
>>23658048That's still blaming me for what's happening to Nox, you're saying that illness caused it
>>23658045>The actual fights themselves are decentThey're okay but I feel like they've devolved to pre-Reiwa era levels. I wonder if the lead suit actor has anything to do with it, his only Toku credits prior to Zeztz are all mooks.
>>23657680
>>23658039The Shadow Nightmare is for the Shadow Capsem Nox's going to use for his Rider form, its belt doesn't have an Erase sound.
>>23658063Not remembering dreams isn't that much of a superpower
i think this is one of the most annoying toku characters i've experienced does anyone like him
>>23658068Some enjoy his hormonal idiot teenage self, though I don't think he'd land very high of favorite character lists.
>>23658019Does it really look like the American superhero aesthetic they were going for?
>>23658053It's a shame that they picked such a niche theme for the westerner friendly jump off point. If they wanted to make it about dreams they could at least play around with the lighting and camera angles and stuff to make everything look more surreal
>>23658019>>23658077this shit GENIUENLY looks fan made. it looks like a cosplay you'd see at comicon. it might be the cheapest looking suit in the modern era. it's ugly beyond all measure.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-6LazqxD7EEpisode 14 preview.
>>23658068He's a realistic depiction of how a teenager would be like if he got a Rider belt.
I wonder what the deal with the belts on the nightmares is. Like, it would have been really easy to just not animate a buckle onto the meteor nightmare, but they did. Are belts evil in this universe and that's why they all do chest straps instead, to dilute the evil?
>>23658068He is a faggot.
>>23658068I like him in the Blade summer movie written by Inoue, but the single most annoying and objectively the worst character in all of Kamen Rider is picrel... who's also written by Inoue.
>>23658099He can't be THAT bad, right?
>>23658096>faggotObligatory>>23658068I liked him whenever he's possessed, I almost liked him but the last episode of Blade just reinforced my hate for him
>>23658101He legit made Hibiki fucking unbearable when he appeared. His actor's next role as Yuuto in Den-O basically saved his career.
>>23658077I'd say it does but that's not really a positive because I think a lot of capeshit suits also look bad, especially in direct sunlight. His eyes look like Spidy and the suit in general kinda makes me wonder if someone at Toei is a big fan of Sleepwalker from the 90s >>23658080Yeah especially this past episode where they just put purple traffic cones on his fists. I never watched Gotchard but from the pics I've seen that at least managed to pull off looking shiny without looking like it was a Halloween costume.
>>23658101I watched Den-O and Yuto who's played by the same actor ended up being one of my favorite secondary riders, and even that didn't stop me from wanting to punch Kyosuke Kiriya in the face, he's THAT bad.I can only imagine the horror people who had watched Hibiki felt at Zeronos' introduction.
>>23658101Just when you think this piece of shit might get a redeemable quality he doubles down on being the worst possible human being
>>23658077The base form looks cool>>23658080This one not so cool
>>23658078>If they wanted to make it about dreams they could at least play around with the lighting and camera angles and stuff to make everything look more surrealMaybe something like the Wonder World filter could've helped with that. But iirc, Yanaka said that they wanted to make it ambiguous as to whether a scene was taking place in the real world or the dream world, though having characters that only show up in the dream world and having the MC change his look every time he's in it don't really help with that.
its fucking stupid but if they really wanted to make a global series they should have just done ryuki again
>>23658115Kamen Rider soap opera "death" battles are pretty compelling, who'd a thunk.
>>23658115It still has to appeal to japan and to them a competitive Kamen Rider would feel too repetitive since Geats wasn't too long ago
>>23658127okay why not just make kuuga 2 then
>>23657680>Another Garyudo
>>23657680what the fuck is up with those shoes
>>23657948Why do people think John Cena holding an item is funny? Is it like that 67 meme?
DO NOT TRUST CODE
>>23658099i wonder if the Zi-O Hibiki two parter fixed his reputation among JP viewers
>>23658128Because lack of budget, Gavan Infinity is the one that should theoretically be getting such budget since it's launching a new franchise while every proceeding season goes back to standard lower budget
i have 17 episodes of blade left.hibiki is next in release order but everything i've heard about it makes me wary to watch it. would you say its still worth experiencing despite the second half?
>>23658141Because it's exploitable and you can make him hold anything. 67 is a mindless meme that only gained traction with the ai edits.
>>23658080LMAO blame the western audience for that shitIt's their fault Toei decided to expand their market, thinking "westoid need representation and stuff we should pander to them!!!"
>>23658151I mean the last episode done by the original staff is good send-off so you can just watch the first half, and for me watching the show as a whole was worth but I just can't recommend the second half in good faith because Hibiki's last episode is one of if not the worst final episode of all Kamen Rider
>>23657963Godai getting coated in red Grongi blood during the Porcupine beatdown is kino yeah
>>23656858Kamen Rider Zaia
>Nox is agent no.4>It's an unlucky number, yon means death>The opposite of bakuIs that why he's mad everytime zeztz appears?
Did Fujimi really knew Odaka that long for him to snap like that?
>>23658197He's just seeing Zero lead another agent to the same path that ruined him
>>23658197sneedwatcher-kun..........................
>>23658211Their first flashback together took place 3 years before he disappeared, so they've known each other for at least that long.
What made Dragon Knight(the US Ryuki remake) a failure, the plot?Maybe they should have just translate the whole stuff and not localize anything
>>23658225In the west, the average normalfag dismissed it as a Power Rangers cloneThey really should have just adapted a show that didn't have a red protagonist or lots of Riders to avoid shallow comparisons overriding their marketing

>>23658236That's for the twitter brainrot crowd to handle.
I swear if the tertiary is Code Number 5 or 6
>>23658130>hahahaha let's get married, Baku
So who's gonna die this Christmas? >inb4 Shadow Nightmare
>zeztz closet is a byproduct of baku subsconcious>but minami can enter the room????
>>23658259Why is Minami the odd one out when he already has two cops turning it into their new office?
>>23658061>whoa, we gathered the Go-Busters cast, what should we do?>idk, maybe Kamen Rider Outsiders
Minami was part of CODE but got memory wiped.
>>23658257No one important is dying, we already know that by the time Nox wakes up and becomes a Rider everyone in the cast will still be there thanks to the OP that got leaked by the Brazilians.
>>23658270If Nox's nightmare just fuses with the Knight Invoker and turns it into the Noxdriver I'm gonna clap
>>23658262Oh i forget about them, but my question still the sameHow?
>>23658274CRAP YOUR HANDS
>>23658275Zero outright says that if a dream is powerful enough it can be made real.
>have Nox erase all the Q1 forms now we won't have to use them ever again
>>23658078>If they wanted to make it about dreams they could at least play around with the lighting and camera angles and stuff to make everything look more surrealBut Zeztz has had a fairly consistent surreal directing, it's even lynchean at times. Like obviously it won't be a Paprika live-action since the producer wanted to avoid fully relying on led screens like King-Ohger but still the direction is the one aspect about Zeztz that has stayed consistently great for me and for the most part itffeels like drramlike
is it me or zeztz's subs on the drive is slower than usual? it's still up to only episode 11.>>23658229looks like a prog rock album cover
>>23658297Probably due to holydays or something?
>>23658297We have official subs on youtube, so there's no reason to make our own subs or archive.
>>23658303>no reason to archivelurk moar
>>23657845I'm about to Yellow Bust... A Nut
>>23658267well, there are cat imagery all over the CODE base and her accessories
>>23658287BASED CODE NUMBA 4
Zeztz big bad is obviously just C.O.D.E.'s current director. This is Blade all over again so he'll fuse with an artificial Nightmare to absorb all Nightmares
>>23656858I dig it but isn't it a bit too early for this? He better be keeping the other form too since being able to erase things is a neat power to play with.
>>23658324wtf takahashi is a hack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>23658324I don't think they'll go that route since he's the bike, even if they can replace who's remotely controlling it ZERO is a big part of the marketing The main antagonist will probably be another defector of CODE

>>23658354Will they rename it 'Denpa Ningen Tackles Wants To Be The Main Character' by then?
>>23658367Are you really that butthurt about today's episode? Toujima is the only one who can actually damage kaijin later in the manga, none of them can actually defeat kaijin
>AGENT ZEROReally? Not so subtle, eh?
>>23658370>Toujima is the only one who can actually damage kaijin later in the manga, none of them can actually defeat kaijinTackle beats a kaijin that sexually assaulted her later on.
>>23658377I saw a page from the manga where Sarracenian captures her and she pisses herself in terror, no way is that getting adapted for various reasons
>>23658385Why not? They've shown ryona with no problem so far, is there a TV censorship law against pissing?
>>23658337What marketing?

>>23658578I'm not a Yaoi enjoyer and even I know that the gayer a Rider show gets the better it is.
>>23658593It's true. W, OOO and Build are gay as fuck and they're all all-timers.
>>23658594Yeah but the trick is they can only be implied baiting gay, and not 'pass the pepper' gay.
>>23658613god, i wish someone would pass me the pepper
>>23658613Hence the "fujobait", reading comprehension-kun
>>23658613Yes not full on like gay porn, like gay implication. Characters bickering like married couples like in Build or OOO for example.

>>23658564>>23658574You can just say you don't like either rather than samefag to instigate conflict, no one will judge for not liking a reiwa show
So was this an intentional thing or did Butsuda's team forget to properly scribble out the back of the CGI belt
>>23658866sex
>>23659019Watching the scene again, where does that happen? Is it just a split second error?
>>23659019The latter, he's supposed to be transparent for that frame
>>23659029It's right after his belt does the sprite animation for the Erase Capsem. It's a pretty split second error.
>>23659045Then it's not an error, it's >>23659032
>>23659061That anon literally said it's an error, Nox isn't transparent there
>>23659069So you think the whole fucking transformation sequence was one big error?
>>23659094Do you have no reading comprehension, in this specific frame >>23659019 Nox is supposed to be translucent because of the animation transition where he eventually dissappears, I don't get why we're getting this uppity for an error that's literally only present for one frame
>>23659095Because it's not an error. He's turning transparent. It's supposed to happen.
>>23659140But he's solid in that frame, he should already be translucent by then rather than the belt be directly in front of him
>>23659140I haven't double checked but can one simply just see the other time he henshin'd? If this didn't happened the other time then it's definitely an error, otherwise it is intended and we can put an end to this argument
>>23659140Then why can't you see the trees behind him?
>>23659147>>23659150>>23659152Christ almighty, how many ways do I need to say it?>He is becoming transparent. >He is on his way to being transparent.>He is currently becoming transparent.>He is shifting into being transparent.He is partially transparent, so you can see the strap but nothing else. How is this so fucking hard for you people to understand?
why does kenzaki have such a big head like look at the forehead to hair top ratio
>>23659157
>>23659155How is the strap 100% visible at that point of transparency but not the trees around the strap? Either he's transparent or he isn't.Why are you getting so tilted over a minor special effects error?
>>23659160Again, you're struggling to understand that his chest is transparent first before it spreads to the rest of him. It's not happening all at once. It's not an error, it's deliberate, yet somehow you can't understand something this basic.
>>23659164>his chest is transparent first before it spreads to the rest of himThen why can't you see the trees or sky through his chest? Transparency isn't selective.
>>23659155But why did you avoid posting the other henshin >>23659150, that would quite literally resolve this argument
>>23659165Have you never been in fog before? Because it's the closest thing. He's not 100% transparent yet, he is still opaque, so things in the distance won't show up.
>>23657318Hongo’s kid is a cutie and a turbostacy

>>23659169You're now making up unhinged headcanon to justify a special effects error. None of this happens in his other transformation.
>>23658776Unfortunately
>>23659179Sounds more like a you problem than any fault of the show.
>>23659219>It's YOU'RE fault they forgot to make an editYou know Zeztz isn't real and won't suck your peepee for defending its honor on the internet, right

>>23659244I wasn't aware Hidenori Ishida worked on Saber, he made both some of the best and worst episodes of both shows. I'm still amazed how Revice has the worst episodes Kami has ever directed, it's really weird because bad writing shouldn't lead to bad directing and it almost felt like people stopped giving a fuck after a point, like Aguilera and Over-Demons don't really have a distinct fighting style like the other riders of the show.But man what a monkey paw.
>>23657390Saber's original plan sounds so fucking awesome, like it would have totally redeemed the writer and producer in the eyes of toku fans, these guys can't catch a break and I almost feel like they're cursedAt least the writer has found consistent success in drama so he isn't defamed in Japan
Fujioka's daughter has good genes...
>>23659289>bad writing shouldn't lead to bad directingIt didn't.
>>23659316Didn't Fujioka post a comment on response of these news that she was doing weight loss exercises in preparation for this?I'm glad that she's putting a lot of effort into this and makes me wish she has a relevant role in Reiwa 10th
Baku met Nox when he was a kid...
So how is Zeztz so far? Better then Takahashi's other works?pic unrelated
>>23659329If they wanna give her a proper mini-series I wouldn't complain. Get Fujioka's son in as the Secondary Rider and we're cooking.
>>23659345>So how is Zeztz so far? Better then Takahashi's other works?It's mid, the most boring beginning to a show of his so far.
>>23659345I feel like it has a better start than Ex-Aid and in some parts it's better than Geats' start. Like Baku compared to his other protagonists at the beginning is definitely better, the cast is pretty good and the direction is great. But the cases of the weak are inconsistent in quality, so far the current main antagonist's plan makes no sense and I'm afraid that they'll brush that off and the cast don't really interact with each other just Baku.I feel like it has less chances of fucking up than Geats and Zero-One given the staff because two of its producers have worked on multiple successful dramas, it has Kami as chief director and most of their decisions feel methodical rather than just leaving things to luck like Shirakura and his apprentices, but I feel like this show won't be as good or better than Ex-Aid because it doesn't has Omori's expert tard-wrangling.
>>23659345It's pretty great so far but weaker than the starts of his other shows.At least given the interviews it seems like they're actually planning ahead so we won't get something like Revice, Geats or Gavv where they suddenly abandon their setup for arbitrary decisions behind the scenes, but at the same time it means the show will be less experimental/risky.
>>23659366>we won't get something like Revice, Geats or Gavv where they suddenly abandon their setup for arbitrary decisions behind the scenesIt can still happen.
>>23659380It's far more unlikely this time because Takahashi doesn't like changing his original plans, Yanaka was really involved with the story and world-building planning in order to stay consistent according to him even going as far as saying that he already has plans for the second half just like how a tactic like that was used in the marketing of Gaim and Kyoryuger (although granted that didn't stop Gaim so you're right) and like King-Ohger he's having Kami manage part of the show's production for consistency.In order for them to change plans this time it wouldn't be due to the writer, producer or director changing plans on a whim, but rather a fuckup/accident in production. So far as far as we know the only incident that has happened after the first half of Zeztz is already done filming is one of the villains' suit actors breaking his skull which shouldn't affect the story unless they made his suit skin tight to fit specifically his build an no one else's.
>>23659345The curse that followed Rider from Zi-O to Gotchard has been lifted and Kamen Rider has gone back to being at minimum 8/10s it seems, unless the next show after Zeztz goes back to having short pre-production periods again because then it goes back to anything goesZeztz is his worst start but it's still good, but you have to remember this is Takahashi who we're talking about, whose second halves are worse than their firsts.
The juxtaposition makes it look like Zeztz is about to behead Zero
>>23659393>It's far more unlikely this timeI've heard said this exact same thing like 4 times in the past 7 years, with walls of text explaining why it won't happen and everything. You guys fail to realize that you're not able to actually predict how the production can go wrong, it can be as simple as the producer having a bad idea that they'll implement much later on and which they obviously won't talk about this early on, there's so so many situations and ways in which they can fuck up these shows.
>>23659421>in the past 7 yearsI only remember that for Gavv where people magically assumed that filming ahead would somehow fix every modern Kamen Rider issue, with the rest almost everyone was doomer aside from Zero-One because Omori had never fucked up before and Revice where people had blind faith, but with both of those I don't remember people writing justifications as to how they won't fuck up.
>>23659421I didn't say it is impossible which is why I brought Gaim up where despite them marketing how they had the whole story planned from the beginning, Takebe and Tasaki kept making changes Urobuchi didn't want at the last minute, just that it's less likely because Yanaka isn't a newbie like Minato, someone who leaves things to luck like Takebe or Matsuura, an enigma like Kuji or someone who gives ton of freedom after Q1 like Mochizuki.But yeah it can be something as arbitrary as "let's change the plan because of this actor's acting style", specially because he isn't even the one doing the casting since in order to "maximize efficiency", he brought over a third producer despite not being necessary specifically for that which could potentially backfire and bring miscommunication.
>>23659417It's foreshadowing.
I'm banking on this just because of feels but is there a Kamen Rider that's sorta like Spiderman? More on the feels about MC having to do the right thing but it fucks with his regular life. Has any Toku ever ridden this vibe yet? genuinely surprised if it hasn't.
>>23659447Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, Faiz, Den-O, Kiva, Gotchard all kinda go with it but they tend to phase into an extended serialized plot instead of day-to-day stuff that's directly interfered with. Hibiki is largely slice-of-life but it explicitly doesn't interfere with the protagonist's life because it's literally his job.
>>23659425People were expecting Zero-One to be good because of muh Ohmori and muh Takahashi; people were expecting Revice to be good because of muh cool premise, muh second coming of Muto and muh experienced producer; people were expecting Geats to be good because muh Takebe, muh Ohmori was the only one responsible for fucking Zero-One up and muh it looks like they actually planned this thing thoroughly (sounds familiar, anon?); people were expecting Gavv to be good because muh Takebe again, muh new production schedule will make it impossible for things to go wrong (sounds familiar again?), muh classic Rider vibes and muh Komura is a better fit for Rider than Sentai.Just because half the show has been filmed already doesn't mean they didn't have any issues so far (and if they did, we probably won't learn the exact details until next year or after the show ends or maybe we'll never learn about them) nor that they will have any in the future. You swear Yanaka won't commit the same mistakes as Mochizuki and Takebe just because you hope that's case, not because you know he's incapable of it.
>>23659450Anything with that spiderman feel the most? I want peak holy fuck I wish I never had these cool awesome powers.
>>23659433>Yanaka isn't someone who leaves things to luck like Takebe or Matsuura, an enigma like Kuji or someone who gives ton of freedom after Q1 like Mochizuki.How do you know that really is the case?
>>23659447Kinda Showa Riders, Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, Kiva, Fourze, Gaim and Gavv but the execution is really different from Spiderman, I think the closest show where it really feels like the protagonist is trying to balance his hero life and normal life where choosing to follow his hero life screws his normal life is probably Ryuki but even then it's mostly seen as comedic.
>>23659462Because of his previous dramas where here he does the same thing as here where he gets people to co-produce to manage things better and just focus on specific parts. It's why in Zeztz unlike other shows it says he's the "story producer", he's basically focusing on outlining a consistent story with Takahashi while he leaves other roles that usually falls into the producer to Minato, Sota and Kami.But the other anon is right that the same can still happen as other shows and this is his first year-long show.
>>23659460>I want peak holy fuck I wish I never had these cool awesome powersThat would be Gaim.
>>23659477sweet I'll give it a watch. huh wonder why the other guys didn't mention it.
>>23659479The ending kinda ruins the show.
>>23659477What I would give for Urobuchi to write another show, the interview where he's with Inoue proved how based he is>>23659482Does it? The epilogue sucks and ruins Mitsuzane but I wouldn't say it ruins the whole show, but it still should have never existed since the writer never intended for it

>>23659491This is why we need more visual novel writers doing toku, only people like them can write someone like this, who would have thought fusing Kusaka and Mutsuki into one would make such an entertaining character to hate
>>23659295A cool premise isn't enough to make a show good. At least some good things came out of Saber's retools, like Tassel, Yuri, and Calibur. They didn't even half-ass the stuff they came up with to reduce filming time, there's a variation of the ED sequence for every single episode and the eyecatches tend to reference the events of their respective episode in a poetic way instead of all of them just being toy callout transcriptions.
>>23659531>Yuri, and CaliburWeren't those two planned from the beginning? I thought Tassel, Dessast and Isaac were the ones that weren't planned and then the plan for Storious also changed significantly
>>23659531>A cool premise isn't enough to make a show goodAnon it's literally the same staff making a cooler premise with no consolidations if Covid hadn't happened. A Saber unaffected by Covid simply would have been a much better show, it's just that it's impressive that staff managed to adapt to Covid efficienctly and made a mostly great show after the first quarter onward. Honestly I feel bad for shitting on the first quarter since I thought the "reshooting for consistency" was a situation like Ghost where Takahashi pussied out and unnecessarily caused scheduling issues, but after reading this those reshoots were indeed necessary, it's honestly a miracle that the show didn't go to shit and the Chinese video that was shown in the presscon was indeed something like the Ghost alien video rather than the original scrapped scenes like I originally thought. So now Takahashi getting promoted feels completely justified to me although I also wish Omori had gotten promoted after King-Ohger so that he didn't have to leave the studio.
Do we know if SHT will be canceled this month? I know Christmas and new years are not on the weekends but who knows.
>>23659583We don't officially know but we always get a break for the last Sunday of December
>>23659547Calibur was originally requested by Bandai and the staff ended up positioning him as an evil swordsman character that they had conceived, possibly after they had decided they wouldn't have the swordsmen be at odds with each other in the beginning, though that isn't quite clear. Yuri is however completely confirmed to not have been part of the original plans. The idea of Kento leaving the show and returning with a new Seiken was planned from the beginning, however, he was initially planned to return as Saikou instead of Calibur. But since it was decided that the Rider would become the sword itself, the staff thought that its user shouldn't be a normal human, so they decided a create a new character to be Saikou, which ended up being Yuri. They hadn't even decided on a name for Yuri back when he first appeared in the show, they ended up naming him after Sakamoto's son, Yuri Sakamoto, presumably during the filming of episodes 15 and 16 (the end of Q1 and the start of Q2) since those are the first episodes directed by Sakamoto where Yuri appears.
>>23659600>he was initially planned to return as Saikou instead of CaliburThis is my first time hearing this, source? But that does make a lot of sense considering how Yuri is so deeply tied to Tassel and Isaac who weren't initially planned. He's also tied to Falchion who I assume also wasn't planned due to his suit quality and RealxTime turning into a winter movie obviously wasn't planned either.
Sakura looks like she aged 10 years instead of four. I guess being stuck in a dead career does that
>>23659501
>>23659559>Anon it's literally the same staff making a cooler premise with no consolidations if Covid hadn't happened.>A Saber unaffected by Covid simply would have been a much better showA Saber unaffected by Covid would've been a very different show, its themes and messages were morphed in response to the impact the pandemic had on people. I don't think a character like Rintaro as he is would've existed under the original premise of Touma being at odds with all the swordsmen he met from the get go, for example. I'm sure they had to change a lot of stuff when they were forced to scrap the initial premise, and it's literally confirmed that they only came up with certain important aspects that the fans ended up liking during that period where they were scrambling to adapt to their new reality. It potentially even affected the degree of involvement each writer had on the show and the way they were managed by Takahashi.
>>23659600>>23659610Like really anon where did you get this claim? I found out that yeah Yuri wasn't planned from the beginning, but the only source I found to Kento originally being planned to return as Saikou was this anon's post: https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/23485861/#23487484But he just says it was said in an interview but then he doesn't proceed to source it. Kento's name literally foreshadows him inheriting the power of darkness. Do you know what interview is that anon referring to or is some Mandela effect caused by misinformation because like DeSaint?
>>23659649I know you mean well and you're right that it would have really different themes, but it still feels like a cope. Fukuda excels at writing human elements into his shows and even if the themes with the original plans were different, it would still have a similar "feel". Hasegawa writing more episodes than Fukuda is probably either the result of Fukuda nor being used to year-long show kinda like how it happened with Shouji Imai from Blade or a situation where the producer micromanages the writers to focus on specifics aspect resulting the head writer focusing on lore rather than characters and toy shilling like with Atsushi Maekawa from Magiranger, my guess is on the latter but obviously I have no way to actually know if that was the case. If covid hadn't happened things like the first quarter of Saber feeling rushed and some of the pacing issues that happened during the middle wouldn't have happened, making for a more consistent experience, with the same set of good directors, emotional writing and dense world-building. So while we like how characters like the main trio ended up, and their routes would have been really different if Covid hadn't happened, it would still most likely have been of similar quality.

>>23659641>Daiji looking great>Ikki looking good>Sakura looking rough
>>23659610>This is my first time hearing this, source? It's in the JP Wiki, which does provide sources for those claims, so they're most likely legit.>Yuri / Kamen Rider Saikou>The name is based on the name of director Koichi Sakamoto's son, and Sakamoto also directed Episode 16, which features his first transformation.[75]>Because he has traveled from 1,000 years ago to the present day, he is a character who is an intrigued observer of modern culture, and because he was born 2,000 years ago, he serves to shed light on the secrets of the past surrounding Bahat and Tassel . [ 76 ] He was not originally planned to appear, but because the Sword of Light was changed early on to be the Rider itself, he was introduced first in Avalon. [ 20 ] He did not have a name when he first appeared. [ 77 ] His healing ability was a hastily created setting by director Ishida . [ 77 ]>Kamen Rider Saikou>From the outset, Kento's departure was part of the plan. After leaving, he was intended to become a new Rider wielding a new sword—a sword of light embodying the concept that “the sword itself is the swordsman.” However, the idea of transforming into a sword implied he was no ordinary human. Thus, he became an entirely new character: a swordsman who had existed since ancient times, wielding a sword lost a thousand years ago.>Kin no Buki Gin no Buki>The concept evolved into “the sword itself is the Rider” to ensure that even identical swords embody entirely different concepts[76][64]. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BB%AE%E9%9D%A2%E3%83%A9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%80%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BB%E3%82%A4%E3%83%90%E3%83%BC

>>2365967950th anniversary shows, Gozyu Wolf looks like Ikki too sometimes
>>23659479Because "I want a show where the hero fucks his personal life" and "I want a show where the hero hates his cool powers" are different questions. Gaim doesn't have much of a personal life outside of his super powers to shit up. Don't get me wrong, he has personal relationships that he destroys because he needs to fight for the greater good, but he's a freeter who's trying to grow up and stop relying on his sister. Most of his suffering comes from the life-or-death battles his abilities rope him into, and the stress and moral dilemmas that ensue, and it quickly consumes most everything he does.
>>23659487> The epilogue sucks and ruins MitsuzaneNot that part but people didn’t like that Sagara basically got away with it even to this day
>>23659666I'm not denying that the pandemic affected the quality of stuff like Q1's production or the jarring use of greenscreen due to the filming limitations. But I'm arguing that the existence of the Corona restrictions and Bandai's intrusive toy mandates also brought its fair share of good things by motivating the staff to do their absolute best and forcing them to come up with ideas to adapt to these restrictions, ideas that ended up being really good in the long run. It's kind of like how Devilman's author only managed to come up with the manga's iconic ending because the manga got cancelled and he was only given a limited amount of pages to finish everything, and in his severe desperation he suddenly got a flash of almost divine inspiration (at least according to the way he described it once) that led to that memorable ending. Desperation is a very powerful feeling.In the end, we don't actually know how Saber under its original premise would've developed or turned out, we don't know what other issues the production would've faced nor what ideas they would've come up with in that scenario.
>>23659710Wait what but he's Satan, him getting defeated would be retarded
>>23658068Even though Mutsuki is easily the worst of the four Blade Riders, it was still nice that they got his actor back for the 20th anniversary stage show even though he had long since retired from acting.

>>23659756maybe he just sucked a lot of dicks
>>23659656>Kento's name literally foreshadows him inheriting the power of darknessIt was either a coincidence that they later took advantage of or they changed his name after the fact. Either way, he was originally meant to come back as Saikou.

>>23659691At least they actually talk about the show, instead of gossiping about actors like fags.
>>23659763>>23659688That's so fucking weird because of Kento's name, making an existing Q1 Rider the January Rider without another person the same belt ala the Genesis Riders is so goddamn bizarre and because Yuri is pronounced the same as Julius which means "descendant of God".I guess one can explains Kento's name foreshadowing Saikou rather than Calibur because his first name means Sword so it actually means "Deep darkness of the Sword" rather than "Sword of Deep Darkness", essentially foreshadowing Saikou Shadow. I still would like to read the Figure-Oh volume the interview originates from but it doesn't seem like it has been dumped anywhere sadly. Thanks for the info anon.
>>23659808But that's /ssg/, /krg/ isn't currently doing that, instead the usually just say "[x] is the worst thing ever" or "[x] is the best thing ever" to shitpost by leaning into different extremes, or just posting ai shit or unfunny memes like OP.The one part of Saber discussion I find annoying is whenever there's an anon who just dumps a bunch of webms of Saber with no context and then tries to give justifications like "what if someone watching the show now" or "I'm just posting cool scenes" but he's done that multiple times a year for me to believe he's actually doing it with good intent, but that didn't happen this thread so yeah the anon you're replying to is a schizo.
Capsems Noise Edition
>>23659819And a bunch of Gotchard webms in this thread.
>>23659832Finally, getting to the "Banjou's dirty shirt" collectables
I could easily see how Blade could be rewritten to be an in-universe sequel to Agito.
>>23659641Can't wait for spoilers to see how shit Kinoshita's writing gonna be.
>>23659832Capsems are so underwhelming
>>23659842Ryuki makes more sense to me. You could have it so Agito kicking the Overlord caused reality to split into a "good" world and an "evil" one (the mirror world)
>>23659809>making an existing Q1 Rider the January Rider without another person the same belt ala the Genesis Riders is so goddamn bizarreThey actually considered having someone else take up the mantle of Espada when they turned Kento into Calibur, but decided against it because they wanted the Swordriver Trio reunited again in the future. The new Espada would've been a new character instead of a preexisting one.https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/20175856/#20177942>because Yuri is pronounced the same as Julius which means "descendant of God".Even though Yuri's name is inspired by Sakamoto's son's, it's actually written differently, in katakana like a foreign name. This ties into Yuri's whole background as an ancient swordsman hailing from the Kievan Rus' (yes, Yuri is a Slav). It is also spelled like the Hebrew name Yuri/Uri, which means "Light of God", but this could be a mere coincidence.
>>23659819>then tries to give justifications like "what if someone watching the show now"I've never once said anything like that, schizo. And I also make webms of other shows.>>23659835Yeah, because the V-Cin Blu-ray just came out and there were no webms for the action scenes before. I thought Spanner and the fights in this were cool so I figured I would make some.
>>23659861Fanart of Saikou slav squatting when?
>>23659873Spanner is lame like Keiwa, Hanto and Jiip.
>>23659809>I guess one can explains Kento's name foreshadowing Saikou rather than Calibur because his first name means Sword so it actually means "Deep darkness of the Sword" rather than "Sword of Deep Darkness", essentially foreshadowing Saikou ShadowKento's name already has a meaning, for example, the two kanji that make up his given name mean "wise man", which seems to be a reference to Espada's genie motif. And every modern era swordsman has either "kami" or "shin" somewhere in their name. Which is why I don't dismiss the possibility that it was just lucky coincidence that they later took advantage of to create the anagram for the title of his debut episode as Calibur.
>>23659861>yes, Yuri is a SlavI thought you were joking but they actually state he was born in UkraineThat's actually kind of fucking hilarious
>>23659876>Keiwa, Hanto and JiipNone of those guys tore down the walls of reality with their own hands just so they could get to see their mother figure in what's supposed to be the happiest moment of her life. Though Hanto getting into a fight right after having a surgery done on him is still pretty hardcore.
>>23659875>yells "CYKA BLYAT" and "YOBANNY V ROD" while fighting
>>23659876I don't see what that has to do with the anon posting webms of a recently translated V-Cinema. >>23659873Then there's another anon that posts Saber webms? I swear it happens too often and I remember one dumper of Saber webms giving me that justification. I don't know why you automatically assumed I was talking about you for some reason?
>>23659875>Saikou slav squattingSpeaking of that...
>>23659861>Sophia's lack of doing anything was actually due to scheduling due to other works rather than poor pacing due to the virus>Several Swordsmen were meant to die but didn't to no further depress already sad people due to the virus That actually explains a lot, Sabela and Durendal were almost definitely supposed to dieAlso>The Ghost VS Saber special was done because Kanon's actress wanted to do a Ghost specialThat's cute
>>23659910Because he said Spanner is cool and Hanto is the bar of how lame a character can be.
>>23659910>Then there's another anon that posts Saber webms?No, unless you're confusing me with Moose, whom I've requested to make webms before.>I swear it happens too oftenI just happen to have all of Saber downloaded already.>I remember one dumper of Saber webms giving me that justificationNo, I don't think I did.>I don't know why you automatically assumed I was talking about you for some reason?Because you were, I replied because you brought me up and accused me of being a malicious shitposter.

I don't see the point in posting webms unless it's of something new like you did today with the V-Cinema which is justified or if someone requested it. Like again are you sure there isn't simply a third Saber webm poster and your getting defensive for nothing because I know that I've requested webms from you before

>>23659610>Falchion who I assume also wasn't planned due to his suit quality and RealxTime turning into a winter movie obviously wasn't planned either.Actually, it's been stated that the name, element, and color of each Seiken was derived from the Sephiroth Tree. Falchion's Seiken does correspond to one of the Tree's 11 emanations, so it was most likely planned. The suit being a kitbash is probably due to a lack of time and/or budget (it's not like they make fully original suits for movie Riders anymore).https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/19771556/#19773437
>>23659996If Calibur wasn't meant to be a Rider, Falchion might have been a similar situation where Bandai mandated a PB movie villain toy and they didn't want to spend much money because he wouldn't have much screen time since it was a short movie and he would only show up a few episodes

So crackpot theory about the tertiary, I'm thinking the tertiary is simply Nasuka's sister. Color (I think?) said it would be obvious and that the show hints at it already meaning there's already clues in the show and Nasuka constantly keeps mentioning that only her family calls her first name. It would make sense that the tertiary is connected to Nasuka like how Nox was connected to Fujimi too, considering right now she's the most unrelated to everything in the moment in the cast.
>>23660050>Color (I think?) said it would be obvious and that the show hints at it alreadyThat's what he said about pic related, not the Tertiary. The Tertiary is played by Papillon Ohger's actress.

>>23660149Main writer changed to Shou Aikawa around that time, between the Taiyaki Meijin Inoue two parter. Most everyone agrees the season becomes so much better after the writer change.
>>23660153It's the consequence of the head writer change.
>>23660151>>23660153>>23660158>>23660159my only gripe is that tachibana is written like a complete fucking moron but the dudes been gaslit so much i guess it makes sensecant stand mutsuki though hes in like top 3 worst toku characters for me (nobody is topping this bitch)
>>23660150That space between those letters is there intentionally. Take some time to reflect on this.
>>23660150It's reassuring to know you're a bot rather than an actual human being wasting hours here. But still hope the anon who set up dies horrifically though.
>>23660149>then episode 31 hit and suddenly its like a completely different showIt's because the head writer had been fully replaced by this point, the last episode he wrote for the show was Ep 28.
>>23660162also this is making me more worried for hibiki by the moment, i think i can stomach eventual greatness but i hate when things slowly turn dogshit
>>23660171Just watch Hibiki up to episode 29 then drop it unless you're a completionist, if you're the latter then take a break from Kamen Rider before watching Hibiki
>>23660107Did Geats and Zero-One have a high count of collar grabs?
>>23660171You can always stop at episode 29 since you didn't seem to enjoy the Inoue episodes in Blade.
>>23660179>>23660182I'm a completionist I've only dropped one toku in my life Ultraman R/B. I like Inoue, Faiz is currently my favorite KR series. I didn't like the weird Hajime 2 parter cause it just seemed out of place is all and I don't genuinely like when characters get powerups in episodes not about them.
>>23660179>>23660182This. You can stop at episode 29 because it even feels like a finale in itself.
>>23660188I really want to see your thoughts on Hibiki because even before the staff change the show us weird as hell, so opinions of it differ a lot
Rinne thighs.
>>23660261pedo....
>>23660171>slowly turn dogshitwell thankfully hibiki turns dogshit literally overnight so itll be over quicki recommend watching all of Hibiki just for the experience though, but it is absolutely trash for its second halfdo yourself a favour and rewatch the last two parter before the staff change after you finish it, worked for me to wash the bad taste out
escape should ride my dick instead being one of those shit-ass rider

Do you think Zeztz would go down better if it was binged?

>>23660121>>23660104Saber getting another movie would have to explore the concept of the Akashic Record being destroyed when Touma reset the universe, that they only saved the stories they wanted to hear.
>>23660362Really depends on how things turn out later on.
