>>23680909Figure-OhGochizo on StageThe little sweet treat minion born from the protagonist's belt—that's "Gochizo." When inserted into the transformation belt, its energy transforms the protagonist into Rider form. Once its duty is complete, it ascends to bliss. Gochizo is an adorable entity utterly devoted to its master.>Yamabe:For Gochizo, serving its master is pure happiness. Isn't food, once eaten, turned into nutrients to build the body? Gochizo sees becoming energy for the protagonist as the ultimate way to help.>Kaneko: It's the spirit of self-sacrifice. Even if it sounds harsh to call it a 'disposable entity,' for a minion like Gochizo, that's pure joy.Linking the elements of "food" and "minion" with "nutrients" and "dedication" is a brilliantly clever concept.>Takebe: When Gochizo is 'eaten' by the belt, it turns into the protagonist's energy and vanishes. The one who depicted that scene so brilliantly in the video production is Director Tsukiara. As Gochizo ascends to bliss, they say 'I'm so happy~' with angelic halos and wings, slowly fading away (laughs). Gochizo became instantly popular, and that's definitely Director Tsukiara's achievement.When you insert Gochizo into the transformation belt and turn the lever, a wondrous sound plays, and you hear Gochizo's voice saying "EAT Gummy~ EAT Gummy~.">Mitsuoka: We incorporated a cute, living-like connecting item into the transformation belt, but I felt a generic system voice would feel off. During toy planning, Gochizo was described as a living creature, so I thought it would be great if we could have Gochizo itself emit some kind of sound.(1/?)
>>23684418>At first, we considered ad-like candy commercial voices, like after the standby transformation sound, Gochizo saying something like 'Juicy juice, poppin' gummy!' (laughs). But when Ms. Takebe heard it, she said, 'I want more uniqueness.' Each senior Rider has diverse transformation sounds, but she wanted a distinctive trait so anyone hearing it would instantly know, 'This is that Rider's transformation sound.Talking transformation belts like the Kivat Belt or Drive Driver (Beltsan) existed before, but this new belt is another evolved variant.>Mitsuoka: After getting input from the planning team and lots of back-and-forth, the result was: why not treat the belt like a 'stage' and have Gochizo 'sing' on it? That's how it turned out.So the transformation sound became Gochizo's "singing voice" itself.>Takebe: Since the transformation belt is a 'mouth' located at the stomach, inserting the connecting item means it's being eaten by the belt. I thought it would be interesting to have a scream-like 'Eek~' sound from the item (laughs).When you insert the connecting item into the belt, Gochizo says "EAT Gummy~ EAT Gummy~," which is like "Eat me~ Eat me~." And then you hear Gochizo's scream! This blend of cuteness and cruelty is one of Gochizo's charms. This perfectly balanced connecting item soon sparked an unprecedented wave of popularity.(2/?)
>>23684420The Mysterious Hero and the Mobile PhoneTakebe, who presented an invincible, unbeatable protagonist image in Kamen Rider Geats, was seeking the next hero's image. So what exactly is the "loneliness"-themed protagonist's look?>Takebe: I think what kids love is a strong hero. I get that depicting him as invincible and unbeatable works, but we already did that in Geats, so we couldn't repeat it. That's why I thought, why not try a hero where the pre-transformation and post-transformation images feel totally different? It eventually led to a character like Gekko Kamen (Moonlight Mask), known as the 'mysterious hero who hides his identity'. >The protagonist might seem weak or clumsy before transforming, but becomes incredibly skilled after. I wanted to use this approach to present an ultra-strong hero.This blends the "loneliness" of the original Kamen Rider—the series' genesis—with Gekko Kamen's "hidden identity," the Showa-era hero archetype. The contrast, misunderstandings from unknown true identities, and above all, the enigmatic, intriguing aura of a hero whose real self is concealed.>Takebe: The first four episodes in road movie style were to convey that sense of isolation. Since the protagonist is a stranger from another world, he has no fixed home on Earth. He keeps moving from place to place, collapsing from hunger until he encounters all sorts of people. We settled on the 'stray puppy boy waiting to be picked up' approach (laughs).>So, should his character be a sweet type totally opposite an invincible hero image? We discussed that, then thought it'd be fun if someone picks him up. In episode 1, a boy picks him up, making viewers think he's a regular character—but nope. That kind of development could be exciting. In episode 2, he meets the heroine—will he stick around? Nope, he hits the road again. We aimed to deliver those unexpected twists in the story.(3/?)
>>23684422In Rider series, protagonists usually come packed with signature gadgets, especially the standard mobile phone-shaped item seen in nearly every entry.Takebe: For the mobile phone item, I hesitated on including it. The core concept here is a lonely protagonist with no friends or secret organization backing him. So even if he has a phone, who would he call? That stuck with me. What would a hidden-identity fighting hero use a phone for? Those questions made me waver a bit.In the end, the mobile phone item became a communication tool with the "Gochizo," leaving us amazed at how even a single gadget gets this level of meticulous consideration.With that, designs for everything—the hero, transformation belt, compatible items, motorcycle, and accessories—were finalized. The story setup was organized, completing the new Rider's overall image. The name was set as "Kamen Rider Gavv," derived from the onomatopoeic "Gabu Gabu" (gulp gulp), evoking voracious eating or drinking.The otherworldly monster enemies are called "Granutes," with stomach organs resembling mouths known as "Gabu." The protagonist is half-human, half-Granute, and has a Gabu on his stomach too—but it's covered by red mechanical parts, making it look freakish from the Granutes' perspective...Though the worldview evokes the fairy tale "The Ugly Duckling," it's by the same author (Hans Christian Andersen) as "The Little Mermaid," the initial story framework here—whether that's some omen or not. Amid a flood of hero works and Hollywood films, this new Kamen Rider shrinks down, eyes fixed on his target, posture so low it's almost crawling on the ground.The premiere aired on September 1, 2024. In an instant, his body soared lightly into the sky—like a gummy bouncing free!!!(4/4)I think this is finally the last Gavv Figure-Oh interview aside from the random notes from the book
https://twitter.com/HKR20_official/status/2004366537940259034Zeztz and Gozyuger.
>>23684402I'm liking Zeztz so far but I think the show will fail, most Japanese hate when a Japanese piece of media appeals to the west over Japan after how many times that tactic has gone wrong.I usually wouldn't mind a Rider show selling worse than usual because it's still pretty much guaranteed that they will be able to earn more money than they spent but it's kind of scary since Gavv was the worst selling Reiwa show I'm afraid of the implications of two shows selling worse than usual in a row, specially since by default next show after Zeztz will be made by either Takebe who's high risk high reward or Takijima who's brand-new. At least regardless it's pretty much guaranteed for the next Rider season to have a weird as hell motif.
Why do people reject Buster as Saber's quaternary? He has the most screen time in Q1 beside the main trio, he's the character outside the main trio most tied to Touma's backstory, he's the only Rider who's personal life is shown, and his arc of coming to Touma's side in Q2 gets the most focus. Also he's literally Rider #4 according to Toei.
>>23684448>At least regardless it's pretty much guaranteed for the next Rider season to have a weird as hell motif.What would the weird as hell motif for the next Rider series be?
>>23684453Since Sentai died before we could get a music season, it's time for rider to fix that.
>>23681374Is the manga good? I remember trying Kai's Uma Musume just because it had Kamen Rider references and it turned out good, and then they later made Fuuto PI. >>23684449Because Toei and Bandai are inconsistent on who they consider quaternary, they've referred Kenzan, Saikou and Buster as quaternary in official merch on different occasions.It's probably like Takebe says, they usually just think of the main 3 Riders, while the others are just "the rest".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MJHP_ooBC0
>>23684456
>>23684449ossan with a kid
>>23684449He just doesn't really do much or have a very involved arc aside from bits here and there. Like yeah he is involved, but he's kinda lumped together with the others and mainly paired up with Slash. Kenzan is a good contender because he has a long running development arc and Fukuda seemed to uniquely focus on him as much as the main trio, but Saikou was the one who ended up being biggest player along with the trio. Not only was he heavily involved and also moving the story forward, but Yuri was basically a substitute for the tertiary and even secondary for the majority of the series and most things wouldn't have been resolved if it weren't for him. That's something Japanese fans also acknowledge and even refer to him as the "SSR pull" with how useful he is. Even in terms of merch, he actually gets the most focus with getting a sofubu and Figuarts after the trio and Calibur and before the others. Hell, he actually gets a good amount of focus in the movies too with him being there with the main trio and Mei in Senki or being a major player along with Rintaro in Beyond Generations and transforming into Legend Riders. Even the HBV is focused on him and Touma. Buster was always just tossed to the background but most official things will say he's still number 4 and Kenzan became really popular but only after the late development and he was still treated like a background support like Buster in movies up until Outsiders gave him focus. Tl;dr - Toei/Bandai will always insist Buster is the fourth Rider but the audience and the show itself will always show that Saikou is the most significant after the trio.
>>23684406I'd say that the sinister laughing is going to be really awkward when he turns face at the end of Q2 but Rogue had that stock horror scream in his.
>>23684449>Why do people reject Buster as Saber's quaternary?Probably because he doesn't really do much and loses all the time without support. He's also outshined by other more interesting and useful Riders. It's a shame though because his design is fucking awesome and the actor is pretty cool. Wish the writers cared enough about him to give him more to do.
>>23684480They gave him a pretty cool manga at leastHonestly between this and Shinobi I want Kaori Kaneko to write next season
>>23684453Just do ninja or martial arts season ffs it's not that hard. Sugihara and fujita can do it too if they allowed.
>>23684456I know that Japan has a deeper connection to physical media than most areas but I don't know if CDs are on their way out there, it'd be a shame if they never got used as henshin items.An alternative idea I would think that could work for a music-based henshin item would be something like earbuds where either you could snap them together into a single item or they would go into a belt like a clamshell case.

>>23684480>he doesn't really do much and loses all the time without support. He's also outshined by other more interesting and useful RidersHe had a pretty good track record in Q1, then in Q2 he crushes Touma and manages to pull a draw against Dragonic Knight. He does start mostly losing in the second half of the show when the higher-end villains start getting introduced, but that happened to nearly every other Rider as well. And let's not forget there would be no Primitive nor Tategami without him.

Man, 13 years since Wizard. Where has the time gone.
>>23684625Wonder how Phoenix is doing.

>>23684624Hope Zeztz improves and that Project R.E.D ends up being good, personally Gavv/Gozyuger was the most entertaining Reiwa combo beating Saber/Zenkaiger
>>23684625>>23684634I don't get Shunpei ended up being more popular and successful than most of the cast, the show really utilized his actor poorly
>>23684449Cuz he is not the shining sword.
>>23684541Gavv's suits really did peak here. It incorporates the motif perfectly without looking goofy or garish. It was great that it continued to be a viable, regularly used form for the rest of the show when Q1 upgrades typically get discarded pretty soon after the pre-final form is introduced.
We need a streamer Rider, maybe he could have a body cam and a camera man that streams all his fights
>>23684636Gozyuger isn't good and it came out during Gavv's worst half.

https://x.com/i/status/2004507540865094021How many manga has Shimoyama written again? I kinda forgot. Though it did say "from the writer of Kamen Rider Zi-O," which I'm already not confident about.
>>23684753Why did my nigga have kids so late in life, he should have been breeding Japanese women back in 1971
>>23684796The drama is actually about a private bus driver who drives prostitutes to work while he tries to solve a murder case.
>>23684798Even before toku, he's mostly an anime writer, not manga. This is just his second manga.
>>23684636Wow, you must be a terrible person
>>23684764Kamen Rider Somali
>>23684824A good for nothing sociopathic little shit like him getting a power suit. What a horrible thought.
>>23684789>Streamer>FlatImmersion = broken
>>23684824>>23684832We know exactly how his story would end.
>>23684837Yeah I could see a Scissors-like fate because he wouldn't care about feeding his mirror monster.
Is it weird that I'm getting Orphnoch vibes from Taorin's gavv?
>>23684449More importantly why the fuck do you even care about the quarternary rider?The only ones that are important enough to categorize are the Primary and (until very recently) Secondary. every else is just mental illness. No sane person thinks "I wonder who the Denary of Zero-One is?"
>>23684823Why?
>>23684575Imagine the drop kicks
>>23684814According to him he was simply very awkward around girls outside off-set, he said he was ashamed that he got his first girlfriend fairly late in his life.
>>23684887>it's this retard again
>>23684893if he was awkward around women what chance does anyone else on the face of the earth have
>>23684896Who are you quoting?
>>23684893>he got his first girlfriend fairly late in his lifeNow that's a true hero I can look up to.
>>23684758>I assume the other two aren't actresses right?They're all actresses.
>>23684903>>23684915>it's this pathetic shitposter again
>>23684918no but seriously anon. Who are you quoting?
What type of Keikaku Ukiyo Ace is doing now?
>>23684938Oh yeah he's gonna totally announce he got married to a woman in a twitter post 5 years from now
>>23684898I think he's simply to innocent, I mean the guy helped carry rations for civilians during a war, clearly hold a deep attachment to Kamen Rider and SEGA and he literally made Saber's actor completely redeem himself as a person just by interacting with him once. Agito's actor also described him as awesome. I assume he simply didn't know how he should go about romance due to his personality.
>>23684938Turns out there's a reason he had more chemistry with the male leads than with Yuna Hoshino and Aoshima.
>>23684938Okay. And?
>>23684938He's a closted gay or buying stuff for a female friend/sister
>>23684952>completely redeem himself as a person just by interacting with him onceanon...
How many riders have been fucked by Sougo's actor in gay dramas? I remember it happening often for a quite few years
>>23684453Food, to recapture the magic of Gaim the third time in a row, after Gavv.
>>23684938Bro got caught lacking ToT
>>23684978Too soon since Gavv wasn't that long ago, it should wait until at least 2030>>23684453Any of the settings of the 3 mirai riders would be interesting
>>23684938Is this really news worthy? It's not like he's doing anything illegal and most toku actors already act on BL dramas
>>23684978It should be books again because Saber sold better than Gavv.
>>23684975>it's this retard again.
>>23685016It's my first time asking this question. Was there a spammer before? I only remember the Houtaro BL spammer who would just post several twitter links without context but that's it
>>23685020No, you're replying to a shitposter who likes to spam phrases that have made him butthurt. In this case, I replied to him with that phrase earlier in the thread so now he's having a melty by spamming it against everybody. Report and ignore his pathetic ass.
>>23685020I just like spamming phrases to piss anons off. Don't take it too seriously
>>23684938Geatsisters... not like this
>>23684975I think it was just Geats and Lupin Red, I think you're confused because he's been on several drama where he fucked previous toku actressesThere's also the show where Sento is running away from a BL drama where there are several toku actors so you might be mixing up with that
Very stupid question simply because I wasn't there to witness it: were the sounds for Super Tatoba's medals already present in the OOO Scanner or did they need to put them in for future, premium versions of that toy?
>>23685045The latter, there were no Super Tatoba sounds until the CSM.
Has Shouma fallen into the BL pipeline yet? He seems born to star in one.
Honestly the only knock i can give it is that there is no gingerbread house in the design unlike the rest of his forms.
>>23685054Well Gavv is BL.
>>23685058Gavv stops being BL after the Frappe Custom episode
>>23685054It'll happen soon. I think he's the only one out of the Gavv trio who hasn't appeared in a BL in any way yet.
>>23684625
>>23685059Shouma and Hanto literally start going on dates after that episode. And this episode is literally titled "A Difficult Marriage".
>>23685076before I give you a serious response, I'm gonna ask you a question. Are you a woman?
>>23685081i'm trans btw teehee
>>23685081No, I'm just not insecure enough to deny obvious fujobait when I see it. Besides, the people who made this show ARE women.
Is it me or is the sound mixing in Zeztz is just bad? It's hard to hear the music or BGM well with the fighting effect

>>23685240>things that have been a staple since day 1But it literally wasn't. The premise of the OG show is very different from the overdone twist that the good guy is unknowingly working for the bad guys.
>>23685221I can imagine the two are very good friends still going out for ramen and doing purikura together. Banjou's actor is also no stranger to BL stuff and he knows that Banjou and Sento looked really "bickering couple" coded in the show.
>>23684574Wouldn't Basque Burnt Cheesecake be an easier retool to do?
>>23685270>Basque Burnt CheesecakeWhy do you keep pushing this shit? Also, no, cheesecake doesn't look like a normal cake with layers and whipped cream, it's indeed easier to just make a chocolate version of Caking since all you need to do is repaint the whole thing brown.
>>23685266> really "bickering couple" coded in the show.So basically friends?
>>23685270I was going to ask if the Japanese know what Basque burnt cheesecake is, but apparently Lawsons sell a fairly decent one
>>23685094>I'm just not insecure enough to deny obvious fujobait when I see itBut you’re not smart enough to realize that fujobait is basically delusions.Two guys eating lunch together isn’t a date, they’re hanging out. It can be interpreted as a date by delusional women for shipping fuel.
>>23685278There's a difference
>>23685282>fujobait is basically delusions.No? It's a completely real thing. You're the retard who doesn't seem to know the difference between fujobait and straight up Yaoi. Either way, fujobait is still pretty gay, it literally consists of making the characters look gay on purpose. Gavv was made by two sleazy women who are known for doing this kind of stuff.Also, there's no way you can deny that naming that one episode "A Difficult Marriage" was completely intentional.
>>23685278Yeah, friends who suck each other's cocks, no homo.

>>23685219We don't really know if they're necessarily "bad" yet. Baku has saved a lot of lives with the help of CODE through Zero and Nox is doing what he believes is right with The Lady. But both sides are super shady and I feel like that's normal for spy agencies. Like they try to make it seem like one side is evil but it's clear it's complicated than that. Zero slips comments that seem apathetic to Baku and has seen that Baku has gone out of the way to save Nox twice, but he also does seem to continue to trust him and help him like with Booster and his warning to Baku. The Lady seems like a blatant villain, but while Nox makes questionable decisions there has to be a reason he's following her and he does have the Kamen Rider title now after the allegiance to her for a reason. Kinda feels like Shroud with Accel. Zeztz has been kinda meh for me, but I will say the stuff that's being introduced after the last episode does interest me a lot. I'm hoping Takahashi can execute CODE and The Lady well to not make either of them plain villains.

>>23685330>There's no choice... I must... TATAKAE!>*flails autistically*
>>23685452To be fair, that's what most people do when they feel the need to TATAKAE.
>>23685398>>23685425Then what's the solution for these kind of problem? Catering to international audience or just pull the plug entirely?
>>23685449You're retarded, anon. Look at all those influence, they're of the ones from the classic series, you fucking newgaySee how I don't use 'fag', because you're so new you don't even deserve to be called a fag
>>23684524W is the best because he fans his fart at you
>>23685460Pretty much the former. To add to what I said to newgay up there, the current generations don't really bother with Tokusatsu and the established fans only care about the old series, but Toei need to keep making new seriesThe existence of global audience means bigger source of revenues, because that means that niche audience is now larger
>>23685449>>Genre that influences nearly all of pop cultureBecause the people who draw manga, direct anime or make videogames tend to be nerds.>>Ancient toku shows constantly get referenced as part of everyday media even decades laterBecause the authors of said media are nerds.>>So prolific that literally every major city in every prefecture has it's own local toku heroes that represent their cities and bolster the local economyThey're basically mascots made to entertain kids, and their dedicated fanbase is mostly Toku nerds.Most adults are normies who don't really care about Tokusatsu, they will even look at you funny if you're an adult who's into Toku. It's literally one of the hobbies that Japanese women find least attractive. The average Nip views Toku the same way your parents view Power Rangers. And Powers Rangers might've been a hugely successful franchise in its prime, but it only really appealed to children and some adult weirdos.The only Toku that has any semblance of mainstream appeal is Godzilla, and it's only its few critically acclaimed iterations.

>>23686066Yes. It's the least flawed Takahashi show but suffers from the usual Omori issues
>>23686066It's Takahashi's best show by far.
>>23685984My self-esteem.
>>23685665It's in the archive anyway, I personally rather not waste a post to the bump limit.
>>23686066Yeah, despite breakneck pacing, surprisingly it doesn't feel rushed or like it's wasting ideas, the story progresses smoothly and most of the cast are extremely entertaining. It also has one of the best fights from late Heisei near the end of the show.The biggest problems with the show are that in the first quarter the cotw aren't that interesting but the show makes up for it by the main cast and plot developments being interesting, near the end there's a mini-arc focused in the secondary Rider that unironically sucks and the way the show treats the concept of death is questionable.If you liked the other shows written by Yuya Takahashi you'll most likely like this, Ex-Aid, his two Generation Movies, RealxTime, Lupin the III Part IV and his Lupin the III movies are generally considered to be his best works.
>>23686119>It also has one of the best fights from late Heisei near the end of the show
>>23686121It is, Kami almost always delivers, I remember him saying that working on Ex-Aid was at the time the happiest he had ever been in his life at the time because he had been longing to direct for Kamen Rider for a while

>>23686290>realistically who can they get back besides the VAs and Yuuto?How busy is Kotaro's actor? Could always be NEW Den-O focused.
>>23686322>>23686318>The downward spiral might actually begin in our lifetimes where they stop making the show for Japanese kids first and foremostIt's so over
>>23686318>>23686322Raws where?>>23686321Not Flame but it's true he hasn't kept the mega updated since the Calamity
>>23686328Have you not watched Ultraman?>>23686330I only got the screenshot from color so far, still searching for raws on bilibili
>>23686318>plot involves defying authority and questioning ordersThey’re going to hate it.
>>23686322So I guess the global expansion did improve sales but not in the way they wanted, the west didn't actually care much for Kamen Rider and their main Japanese audience neither cares much about it, but the rest of Asia such as Korea, China and the rest of SEA likes it more than usual?I guess what this will most likely lead it is Kamen Rider going back to normal, as in experiental suits and motifs just like Yanaka implied on his interview but we could also get Kyoryuger Brave styled shows only catered to China instead of Korea this time. I could totally see them doing that for Zeztz and Geats.
>>23686331>Have you not watched Ultraman?The shows that catered more to China's tastes did better revenue numbers (Trigger, Decker) than the three shows following them that have shifted more "back to basics" (Blazar, Arc, Omega) have been on a downward slide
>>23686341The only thing chinks don't like is Arc and Omega. Blazar is popular in China.
>>23686328Japanese kids are dwindling anyways with Japan's low birthrate.
>>23686238Nah, Beast to Beast Hyper is still the bigger letdown. Or in terms of non-Rider to Rider, Heart to Kamen Rider Heart is so much worse.
>>23686345Doesn't change the fact that the way the shows have been designed/written/directed/produced, etc. to date (i.e. the aspects of them we've come to like over the years) are based around them creating the shows for their own native audience first and foremost. We've already had 2+ decades of experience at this point with Japanese companies who start finding mainstream success in the West and start changing their design principles to cater to said newfound audience to their own long-term detriment (see: Final Fantasy and Square Enix in general, and Monster Hunter, just to name a couple)
>>23686344Probably because it was a departure for the first time in 10 years. Then when people realize that having the same 'muh basic' shows for 3 years straight isn't fun, they turned their back
>>23686321You mean Gashacon, Flame and Ei are collaborators.
When asked if he's gonna make Den-O 20th anniversary movie>ShiraP: Although I'm speaking in vague~ That doesn't mean my answer is no~
>>23686364
>>23686333Looking at Baidu, they don't really seem to hate it yet. They praise some things like the lead's acting but also dislike some others like how much of an asshole Fujimi can be. The show still has a pretty high score on Bilibili.
>>23686364IIRC, the original Hana actress posted that she took acting classes againWith Satoh's schedule, I can imagine them doing something like TTFC filming and have already filmed as much as they can a year or two before the release
>>23686366If you were to make your final film, who would you choose as screenwriter and director?>ShiraP: As expected, it's screenwriter Toshiki Inoue and director Ryuta Tasaki, right?
>>23686364>>23686373Knowing Shirakura, he's probably gonna do something like Pretty Den-O again.
>>23686376Pretty Den O 2 with that girl being the new Den O from now on to appease the west
>>23686376Wasn't Pretty Den-O done by Matsuura? Granted Shirakura still greenlit it but still
>>23686364>No Kobayashi>Yonemura hasn't written anything since Pretty Den-oWho's writing this?
>>23686396If it's one movie, Kobayashi probably can spare some time. Especially if they're already working on it
>>23686304Not that Nox Knight/Nox is any different to something like Valvarad, but I just don't get the point.I guess the agents were corrupted into the silver guys somehow, but Nox Knight is gonna have been around for like 3 episodes total. There's also basically 0 design consistency between Nox Knight and Nox proper. I guess maybe the orange? Both sets of horns are big, but that's it; they're totally different shapes.I wonder if we'll see what corrupted Zeztz looks like, but I can't imagine it being very interesting.I guess I'm contrasting this with Masshin Chaser/Chaser, which went from being a fucked up Roidmude on steroids with a strong raw engine theme to a shining silver-plated hero. One could argue it's just different design philosophy, but it just feels less important. Not to mention how long he was Masshin Chaser for and how much work and time went into him turning into a Kamen Rider. These days we already knew he was going to become a Rider on day one.

>>23686417>I guess the agents were corrupted into the silver guys somehowNot really, Odaka was using the Knight Invoker during his tenure as a CODE Agent. The Nox Driver will be given to him by The Lady, and the Capsems he uses are made from Nightmares destroyed during the show.>There's also basically 0 design consistency between Nox Knight and Nox proper. I guess maybe the orange? Both sets of horns are big, but that's it; they're totally different shapes.They have similarly shaped V-Fins, the compound eyes remains the same between both forms, there's orange, silver and black in the suits, the lines have similar shapes instead of being thick like Zeztz's, and there's the obvious fact that they're both form-fitting bodysuits with chest belts.
>>23686458Yes, this is what Plex thinks of Buildfags.
>>23686458Mix it with the fact that Ikki played soccer and it actually sounds like a fun form.
>>23686474Stop spamming the old thread, Duel.
>>23686417>There's also basically 0 design consistency between Nox Knight and Nox properThe transformation actually shows the helmet/mask going from Nox Knight to Nox. I think in terms of the design being drastically different though is maybe because it's to show Kamen Rider Nox is completely unique to Nox (the design actually feels like a blend of Nox's civilian outfit and the Shadow Nightmare) and him finally disconnecting fully from CODE. I think there's a reason why the Lord System is so consistent in design with the Knight System while Zeztz and Nox are truly unique designs as Kamen Riders. I do love Nox Knight's design a lot more, but I actually do like Kamen Rider Nox a lot too.

If Baku is the only agent, does that mean Three, Five, and Six are sleeper agents?
>>23686538>sleeper agentshaha get it?but really it seems like they just deflected like nox judging by the poster so I assume not, honestly with the whole mystery classes baku feels more like a sleeper agent to me
>>23686542Dunno, they still use the CODE-type Capsems so they might be the elite executioner unit of CODE
>>23686546We don’t know yet. They only appear in the poster so far. If the premise is Baku vs. CODE vs. The Lady then it’s natural for CODE to have other Agents they can rely on in the battle.If they are on The Lady’s side then they should receive Nox-type Capsems instead.
>>23686551>it’s natural for CODE to have other Agents they can rely on in the battle.Anon you said it yourself Baku is CODE's only agent currently, and Nox has seemingly been working under The Lady for a while even though he only his new belt/capsems just now.Also the 3 agents are marketed as rivals, even though they don't have a new style of Capsems it's clear they'll be against Baku in this cour where Baku is still working under CODE.
>>23686373Isn't the main problem that neither Satoh nor his agency want him to play a dweeb like Ryotaro again and ruin his cool guy image?
>>23685984The fact that I'm an ugly ogre than hasn't been anything resembling cute since I was 9
>>23686546>Are you new? They're definitely at the lady's side.NTA, but anon, it's very obvious that they're with CODE. They still retain their Agent numbers unlike Nox who was a former Number Four (the poster shows his number cracking) and they also literally have the CODE symbol right behind them. There's also the fact that they use the same system as Nox Knight rather than Kamen Rider Nox.
>Toei will create a separate, large-scale film brand for the Kamen Rider series next year.>It's not a cinematic universe like Marvel or DC; it's more of a new, unique film series brand for Kamen Rider, distinct from summer movie (it's estimated that next year's commemorative films for certain A and K companies will belong to this series).https://tieba.baidu.com/p/10343802101

>>23685721That's more on the Figuarts team being indecisive and inconsistent in that regard. Even the other lines under it suffer the same problem. Borsalino from One Piece had a plastic cape like Buijin Sword but with joints while Portagas D. Ace somehow got a soft good robe.

Their Naruto and Demon Slayer are god tier, yet you also got The Batman with the weird blend of solid plastic and then cloth ones and it looks bad. And the MCU release has been dwindling too.

>>23686656would this even make a big news if it's not from the currently airing Rider?
>>23686685Anon, remember when Nox broke the Barrier Capsem? Every transformation is merging with a Nightmare.They haven't revealed the specifics yet, but I'd be willing to bet the Nox Driver and Capsems are actually safer than the standard ones since they have a completely different configuration. Perhaps even being technological copies rather than just caged Nightmares.

>>23684423Figure-OhDesign of Poppin Gummy FormMask of Kamen Rider Gavv Poppin Gummy Form>Yamamoto: Since Gavv's basic image is that of a 'monster,' we didn't aim to imitate any specific animal. Instead, we tried to design it with a semi-abstract feel, so that kids could tell their parents, 'This one looks just like that animal!'>As a result, I think the final design might look like a rabbit to some people, or a kangaroo to others. That could be because the name 'Poppin Gummy' overlaps with the image of animals that love to hop around.Kamen Rider Gavv Poppin Gummy Form>Yamamoto: The initial concept was a monster, so the basic design has a wild beast vibe. For example, the large claws at the toe tips are a symbol representing its monstrous nature.>The arm and leg armor is designed to resemble 'flat gummy sheets' that are planar yet have a three-dimensional shape. The chest armor is the only part designed to be rounded like typical 'jelly gummies'.>This chest area is also a homage to the Converter Lung (chest plate) of Masked Rider No. 1. At first, we considered making the chest look rigid like the shoulder areas, but once the 'gummy' element came into play, we wanted to leverage that feature.>The lines flowing from the shoulders down to the chest represent the patterns found in gummy sheets and their 'translucency'. They also serve the purpose of adding design details—without them, it would look too plain.>The base color is purple, which we chose because purple flavors are always among the top-ranked popular gummies in Japan. Plus, purple isn't a color often used for main Rider protagonists, which was another reason. But using just a single purple shade would make it look too dull, so we added a color gradient on the armor to mimic gummy texture and convey translucency.

>>23686618I’m excited for standalone rider films, but the fact that’ll they all be some sort of origin story is kinda lame. I would prefer if we got one guy and gave him a film trilogy. That would probably do more to market KR internationally than streaming Zeztz alone would.

An excerpt from Yuki Furukawa's interview,the actor who plays Nox in Kamen Rider ZEZTZ:"In the story from here on out, the dimensions of the character 'Nox' will be delved into even deeper and deeper. I hope everyone will keep following along with his changes. And once all of Nox's truths are revealed, if everyone goes back and rewatches from episode 1 again, I think you'll get a lot of fun out of discovering new things—like, 'So that's the situation Nox was really in back then!'"
>>23687372I doubt it, if they do an anime movie it will either be a follow-up/spin-off to an existing show, a crossover or an adaptation of a manga like the Fuuto PI movie

>>23686616>Zeztz hasnt exploded in popularityI think he just had very overly high expectations given that most things about it seem underwhelming, or maybe that's just from my perspective. The Zeztz driver has a lot in common with the Ghost Driver but with less bulk. Capsems are a lot like Eyecons just without the button. You even have the faith system with the Erase Capsem and switching out the Knight Invoker parts. Even got the multiform weapon.
>>23687422Oh no...... Zeztz IS Reiwa Ghost
>>23687432It's Ghost's anniversary and both are about eyes but it won't be a train wreck as massive as Ghost at least
>>23687382>Megamiten is better than Gotshit little shitI'm saying that you shouldn't expect SMT's deviations from mythology to pop up on other places, you uncultured JRPGnigger. SMT doesn't follow the actual mythology faithfully, Norn is not a person's name, the Norns are a trio of divine sisters from a different religion altogether, there's no chuuni fusion involved. The Norns are basically the Nordic version of the Fates, and they each have their own name.
>>23687432So is Geats. The Japs might hate it, but Ghost's legacy lives on strong through their favorite writer.
>>23687436>but it won't be a train wreck as massive as Ghost at leastIs that a dare?
>>23687443>So is Geats>favorite writerWhat are you talking about amon? Geats barely has any similarities to Ghost and Yasuko Kobayashi and Gen Urobuchi are their favorite writers, Kobayashi doesn't come back because she doesn't want to write a year-long show and Urobuchi is too occupied
>>23687445Ghost's main issues were how its original setting got scrapped twice according to Morota so it can't be as bad as Ghost by default and it can't sell as bad as Ghost (although Ghost still is a financial success) because Yokai Watch isn't a popular kodomo Bandai IP canibalizing sales.
>>23687446>Geats barely has any similarities to GhostGeats has tons of eye motifs in the show, and the Goddess is basically the second Great Eye.>Yasuko Kobayashi and Gen Urobuchi are their favorite writers, Kobayashi doesn't come back because she doesn't want to write a year-long show and Urobuchi is too occupiedYou really have autism with how you can't help but overexplain things, you're so fucking annoying. Anyways, Urobuchi is not really known for Rider, and Kobayashi hasn't touched Toku in nearly a decade, so Takahashi is Japan's defacto favorite Rider writer right now.
>>23687449>he's Japan's favorite writer by defaultThat makes no sense and it isn't what you implied earlier, Geats' eye motif have nothing to do with GhostDon't let Takahashi live rent free in your head
It is amusing how Zeztz is so far Takahashi's blandest series, for better or worse.
>>23687448In retrospect what the hell were they thinking by releasing a Kamen Rider about ghosts and a Super Sentai with a spinning gimmick that fights yokais during Yokai Watch at its peak? Isn't that an extremely retarded move to do that would naturally cause cannibalization?
>>23687454>That makes no sense and it isn't what you implied earlierIt does and it is, you just have crippling autism that severely hampers your ability to understand nuance. It's like if someone called Taylor Swift America's favorite singer, it's true because she currently is the No. 1, even if Elvis and Michael Jackson might've been bigger in their heyday.>Geats' eye motif have nothing to do with GhostNeither does Zeztz's, unless you're one of those schizos who think it does because muh anniversary. But the comparisons are still being made, and I'm not even the one who started it in the first place.>Don't let Takahashi live rent free in your headSo you're retarded on top of being autistic huh, Zeztz is literally the show he's writing right now. Do you even know what "rent free" means or does your autism prevent you from correctly understanding figures of speech as well?
why did he do it bros?
>>23687443>Japs hate GeatsYou're thinking of Saber, anon. Japs love Geats so much, it's disgusting
>>23687475He's talking about Ghost
>>23687475I was comparing Geats to Ghost because of their similarities in motifs and the like, not because of its popularity. I literally called Takahashi Japan's favorite writer.
>>23687482Sorry, are you confusing Takahashi the Producer and Takahashi the Writer?
>>23687489I don't like how the other anon forces comparisons to Takahashi but goddamn anon you need to learn to read
>>23687495It's just so hard when he suddenly brings up Ghost and try to force similarities like that. That's the kind of mindset I imagine from someone who confuse two people of the same name
>>23687498hi this is the anon that compared the ghost driver to the zeztz driverim pretty much just saying the toylines are similar and ghost only barely outsold drive so maybe zeztz not exploding in popularity as Shirakura had hoped is because the toyline is subpar. Strange comparison, I know.

Uchuusen Director Kamihoriuchi Interviewhttps://tieba.baidu.com/p/10343206079Question: When did you receive the offer to direct this series?>Kami: It was in 2024, during the filming of "Blooming with You ~ The Shinsengumi Youthful Record" in Kyoto, Toei producer Yanaka (Hideaki) contacted me by phone.Question: In the previous interview with Yanaka P, he said that the reason for choosing you was "I felt that Director Kamihoriuchi would definitely help me out".>Kami: I've known Mr. Yanaka for a long time. When he first joined Toei, he worked on set for "Kamen Rider" as a production staff member. At that time, I also worked with him as an assistant director. So saying "I'm here to help him" might be a bit presumptuous, but this is also Mr. Yanaka's first time serving as the executive producer of the Kamen Rider series. I hope we can support each other and move forward together.Question: As the main director of the Kamen Rider series, what special determination did you have?>Kami: I'm very grateful to have been chosen and honored to take on this important task. However, I don't feel any pressure because "I'm the main director." It's purely because I love creating, so I'm happy to be involved from the preparation stage. I'm often asked in interviews, "Do you feel pressure as the main director?" But actually, I don't feel much pressure because of the titles "main director" or "Kamen Rider." Of course, the pressure to do a good job is always there. Perhaps because early in my directing career, when I was in charge of the 'Ghost' spin-off series (Legend of Hero Alain), I deeply experienced the pressure of "This is your work, so the responsibility is huge." That feeling has become the norm, so whether it's TV or a movie, whether I'm the main director or not makes little difference to me personally; I always do my best to complete the work.
>>23687511Did Fukuda got involved in Rider?
>>23687540they're cheap
>>23687520It is only 1st cour. New riders would change the evaluation. Would it be as bad as Zeroone, Revice and Ghost?
>>23687541Question: When director Kamihoriuchi joined the project, how far had the story's development progressed?>Kami: When I got involved, we were in a phase of repeatedly exploring the theme of "dreams." Although there have been many works with dreams as their theme in the past, my first reaction was that budgeting would be tricky (laughs), because depicting dreams means presenting two worlds, reality and dreams, in parallel, which would be difficult to develop as a TV series. Later, after the team discussed the development direction of this major theme many times, ideas such as "making it a spy movie" and "Kamen Rider as an agent" gradually emerged, and finally, we moved in the direction of "This is really interesting!"Question: The theme of "dream" really tests the production level in live-action production.>Kami: From the script stage, we considered how to balance the unique fantasy world of tokusatsu with a story spanning approximately 50 episodes that could unfold continuously over a year. When people think of dreams, they often imagine extremely fantastical worlds, but 'Zeztz' wanted to portray dreams with a realistic and grounded worldview. For example, our dreams rarely take place in completely unfamiliar settings. While we might dream of suddenly being in space, we're more often in familiar places or scenes close to reality. For instance, suddenly finding ourselves back home while walking in the distance, or encountering people who could never possibly be there... This kind of world might resonate more with viewers than fantastical dreams. Although there were various limitations in production, we thought it would be interesting to build such a realistic dream world, which ultimately led to its current form.
>>23687545Question: When you were visualizing a story that intertwines dreams and reality, what specific attempts did you make, and what difficulties did you encounter?>Kami: I was indeed worried that the plot, which intertwines dreams and reality, might be difficult to understand. However, this difficulty isn't all negative; it also has positive aspects. I've been constantly thinking about how to present it in a way that allows the audience to grasp this. Sometimes, an interesting performance can become incomprehensible, so figuring out the right balance and when to present it in which proportion across the approximately 50 episodes has always been a challenge for me. For example, in the first three episodes, which set the tone, we prioritized conveying the core premise that "if the nightmare achieves its goal, it will manifest in the real world," while appropriately reducing the clarity of "whether this is a dream or reality." I personally think that maintaining this ambiguity is perfectly acceptable. After the actual broadcast, we did receive a lot of feedback from people who couldn't distinguish between dreams and reality, but I think that's precisely the charm of this ambiguous blend of dreams and reality—a half-dreaming, half-awake state. I also believe that as the story progresses, the audience will gradually understand this approach.
>>23687547Question: What specific measures were taken?>Kami: We invested a lot of time in script discussions, and I personally insisted on participating in every stage from the end of filming to the final mastering of the sound, repeatedly considering every sound detail. Regarding the sense of proportion between dreams and reality, we are still constantly exploring. Sometimes we think one way is better during filming, but during the editing stage, we adjust it to present it in a way that is more interesting. The sound effects were also continuously refined until the last moment, seeking the best way to express them. That's how the final product was born.Question: You also directed the opening sequence, and the visual effects were very interesting.>Kami: Although I've created opening themes for 'Ryusoulger' and 'Kingohger,' the way I created the opening theme for 'Zeztz' is different from other Kamen Rider series. While I did include some foreshadowing for the future, this time the focus was more on explaining the concept of a "dream story" rather than introducing the characters, so the content feels quite imaginative. Of course, I did have a clear main theme in mind, but since it's a dream, I adopted a more open and unrestricted approach, which I think was quite fun.Question: And there were even scenes of characters growing to gigantic sizes.>Kami: Those were shots filmed using miniature architectural models. Isn't it interesting that even Nox was there, even though it probably has nothing to do with the plot (laughs)? But that's how dreams are, so I hope everyone doesn't take it too seriously and just enjoys the fun the images bring.
>>23687549Question: Baku's physique has become more muscular in his agent form, and he's using colored contact lenses to change his eye color. Are these suggestions from yourself as Director?>Kami: This falls under the category of performance design, and it was indeed my suggestion. While Baku is usually strong inside, he gives off a gentle and soft impression. What kind of image would the spy he aspires to be? Considering Baku's love for foreign spy movies, he would probably imagine himself more robust in his dreams than in reality. We put a lot of thought into this, even adjusting his way of speaking. Normally, Baku deliberately avoids emphasizing his tone and the ending of his sentences. In the scenes in episode 3 where he's active in the real world, we paid special attention to controlling the degree of change. Episode 3, with these elements, was indeed very challenging. Perhaps a different impression could have been presented in scenes more suitable for showcasing vulnerable fighting styles. Of course, I don't think the performance in episode 3 was wrong, but striking the right balance was extremely difficult. However, the other directors inherited my ideas very well, and I think the sense of proportion between dreams and reality is gradually becoming clearer.
>>23687551Question: In the first three episodes, which required setting the stage and introducing the characters, what aspects did you pay particular attention to?>Kami: My primary consideration is creating characters that audiences will love, and this applies to all roles. Fortunately, all the actors are positive, cheerful, and have outstanding personalities. We wanted to fully showcase their qualities in the film. Almost every actor shares similarities with their character, so it was rare to have to force a performance that was completely different from their own personality. The most challenging role was probably Mo in his agent persona, but the actor, Imai, is closer to Baku's usual demeanor. I also felt that Kenta Mishima, who plays Tetsuya Fujimi, and Rina Onuki, who plays Nasuka Nagumo, were quite compatible with their characters. During auditions, if we sense that someone has a particularly outstanding quality, as long as we can accurately convey that quality to the audience, the character will naturally be loved. This is something I always value.
watch tojima instead of reiwatrash
>>23687553Question: Will the lines be adjusted according to the actor's own characteristics?>Kami: I do this all the time. Although saying this might annoy screenwriter Yuya (Takahashi), I often adjust the ending and wording to suit the actor's characteristics. For example, the script might end with an exclamation mark, but on set I'll think, "Would such an exaggerated surprise be appropriate?" If I feel it's not suitable, I'll change it according to the situation. However, the only exception is Ms. Yagi (Miki), who plays Minami. I'll tell her, "Please feel free to improvise." I think Ms. Yagi's strength lies in her natural acting, and I hope she starts with the script and cherishes those naturally flowing lines. Of course, we'll check when there are problems, but we do give them a lot of freedom. This is based on the premise that the actors understand their characters best. In the early stages, we will certainly give them acting guidance, but from the pre-production rehearsal to after filming several episodes, the actors will naturally gain a deeper understanding of the characters. After that, it depends on how they interpret and expand upon them. I often say, "If you think this way, please try it once and see."Question: Zeztz's transformation was initially surprising, lacking any flashy moves but instead displaying a composed demeanor.>Kami: We believe that agents don't make exaggerated movements, so from the beginning, we aimed to complete the transformation in a cool way with the least amount of necessary movements. Although this is just my personal opinion, I think the kind of hero that kids who buy the belt would want to emulate is either a bright, energetic, and positive hero like "Here we go! Transform!" or a mature and composed hero like "Okay, let's go, transform!" This time, 'Zeztz' wanted to make everyone think, "Adults are so cool!", so the transformation movements were designed to be more understated.
>>23687556Question: The way it quietly transforms and gradually changes its form is refreshing.>Kami: The transformation effect is based on the design concept of Zeztz. This time, the rider is not armor but based on the outline of the body itself. At first, we had no idea how to achieve a gorgeous transformation under this outline, but after repeatedly thinking about the cool presentation, we finally decided on the current form.Question: (As the time of publishing) The latest episodes 14 and 15 were also directed by Kamihoriuchi.>Kami: To establish the character of Nox, I had many discussions with Mr. Furukawa (Yuki). In the preview episodes (episodes 1-3) and episodes 8 and 9 that I was responsible for, Nox didn't appear much, and I surprisingly hadn't filmed him much myself. However, episodes 14 and 15 offer a glimpse into Nox's past and inner world, and the past between Baku and Nox is also revealed. I feel very fortunate to have been responsible for these two episodes. On set, to express Nox's state of mind in each shot, Mr. Furukawa and I discussed in detail which side his expression should lean towards. A single expression can change the audience's interpretation and may even affect the presentation of past relationships, including Baku's. Therefore, we were extremely particular about the nuances and variations in Nox's performance.

>>23687555Virgin Reiwa riders who rely on weapons and form changes while Chad showa riders aside from X and RX relies most on bare hand to destroy Kaijins.
>>23687560Question: What aspects did you focus on in shaping Nox, a character who is both an enemy and ally?>Kami: For convenience, I use terms like "good guy" and "bad guy," but I don't really consider logic like "because one side is a hero, the other side is evil" or "this person isn't actually bad." All the characters should act according to their own beliefs, but these beliefs clash, leading to battles. Therefore, both sides have elements of justice and evil that includes sin. So there's no need to deliberately prevent Knox from appearing as a villain. As long as Nox's (Odaka Kensei) past is conveyed to the audience, it's equivalent to conveying it to Baku in the play. Our aim is for Baku to be able to naturally connect lines like "My enemy isn't you" and "Everyone has things they're afraid of, I've had them too" without having to say something like "You're not bad." As long as we carefully refine Mr. Furukawa's performance before he reaches this state of mind, the actors, script, and staff will skillfully fill in the gaps, and the audience will definitely understand.
>>23687564Question: As the director in charge of the pilot episode, did you truly feel the growth of the actors?>Kami: I've been following Baku's actor, Imai, and Nemu's actor, Maho Horiguchi, since their auditions. I can clearly feel their changes as actors, but using the word "growth" is a bit condescending. From my professional perspective, it should be about growing alongside them. In the first episode, they were stiff due to nervousness, but by the eighth and ninth episodes, they had developed a different kind of nervousness. As for Baku, rather than saying his acting improved, it's more accurate to say that he gradually found a way to express emotions that suited him. Actors at that age often struggle to fully portray their inner emotions. Even when told "it's not right, it doesn't convey the right feeling," they feel, "I've already tried my best to express it this way." But as the series progresses, they gain a clearer understanding of themselves and master their own way of acting. This process of struggling with themselves is also conveyed to us. Having worked in tokusatsu productions for many years, I sometimes see actors still struggling to find their footing even in the later stages of a series. But Imai reached the stage earlier where he could respond to requests like, "If you think this way, try it that way," or "Even if you think this way, please try to change it this way." Ms. Horiguchi is similar; details are too far-fetched to elaborate on, but she underwent a significant transformation after acting opposite Ms. Mimura Rie, who plays The Lady. With Ms. Mimura joining the regular cast, Ms. Horiguchi's performance will be refreshed, so please look forward to it.
>>23687566Finally, please say a few words to the readers.>Kami: 'Zeztz' is a Kamen Rider series that stands out in terms of its setting and overall feel. I think the story setup takes time, but with the appearance The Lady played by Ms. Mimura at the end of episode 15, the series will advance significantly as a drama about human nature. Starting with the changes in the relationship between CODE, Baku, and Nox, the characters' situations will undergo drastic changes, and the plot will suddenly accelerate two or three notches. I hope everyone can enjoy this sense of speed. Please continue to support Zeztz!

>>23687733He's talking about the episodes he directed (he directed the first three episodes). But, yeah, the director actually has final say on the story. Don't forget we've had cases in both Gozyuger and Zi-O where a director decided to just eliminate plot relevant exposition because they thought it was breaking the pacing of the episode.Battles also used to be mostly left to the directors during the Heisei era (they actually commented on Urobuchi's script going into battles which was unusual), although nowadays there's actual storyboarding.
>>23687751this brings up a good question, are the showcases of new toys left up to the producers, the directors or the writers?
>>23687762The director? Sakamoto usually has good fights that showcase the hero’s various forms that he has obtained before.
Who is the quarternary rider of Zi-O?
>>23687762Unless they have some plot relevant ability that actually comes up in the story during its debut, the actual visualization/'effects of abilities are left to the director of the debut. Of course, they're tied to whatever sounds are in the toy, but even that can be disregarded (like Wizard's call out for the final form mentions all elements, but you don't see this represented in the show, and since it was established in the debut everyone else follows it).A very recent example of directors just doing whatever they wanted was Legend, who had different visual portrayals of his powers in the special and most tv episodes, likely due to debuting in a net special and the directors not really "respecting" that a lot (Shibasaki who directed the special most of his tv episodes - "Gorgeous" versions of attacks often have a bunch of extra effects, like a Golden Denliner alongside Den-O's finisher or Gaim's attack, summoned Hibiki creates a cage of drums, Kiva's Rider Kick has a bunch of new details around the bat emblem), tv debut (Sakamoto, "Gorgeous" versions of attacks have golden sparks replacing the original colors, but otherwise follow the original) and Gotchard movie (Ryuta Tasaki "Gorgeous" versions are no different from normal ones).
>>23687785Decade and Diend with the Neo Drivers are considered Zi-O Riders. So, those are the 4th and 5th.
>>23687792Why do you care about a quarternary rider?

>>23687792>>23687804Fuck, forgot Tsukuyomi was a Rider due to the last episodes. Then she's the 4th, due to being a main cast member, even if Decade and Diend had more presence as Riders.
>>23687555>>23687563>>23687578Why can't you discuss things without enacting console war behavior?>>23687556>>Kami: We believe that agents don't make exaggerated movements, so from the beginning, we aimed to complete the transformation in a cool way with the least amount of necessary movements. Although this is just my personal opinion, I think the kind of hero that kids who buy the belt would want to emulate is either a bright, energetic, and positive hero like "Here we go! Transform!" or a mature and composed hero like "Okay, let's go, transform!" This time, 'Zeztz' wanted to make everyone think, "Adults are so cool!", so the transformation movements were designed to be more understated.It's interesting for him to acknowledge that, I really wonder how well will Zeztz's belt perform, does the rest of Asia get Kamen Rider toys at the same time as the Japanese or do they have to wait longer?
>>23687790>>23687779I had the feeling it was left up to the director, it's just that I remembered an old debate of people lamenting some stuff getting barely used on some of the shows and complaining about the writer barely using them (I think Inoue got a lot of the blame for this), but it makes more sense that it's up to the director since they're the ones calling the shots for the flow of the episodes.
>>23686347These look worse with every new wave. They skimp more and more on paintwork and sculpted detail.
wow..just wow. Just finished ghost and i'm..speechless. The forms, the themes, the characters, the arcs, the storytelling, comedy, and fights. All completely and utterly dog shit. Totally made by braindead madman. Absolute terrible. I am truly at a loss for words.

Figure-OhDesign of ZakuZaku Chips>Yamamoto: When we eat potato chips, sometimes there are two pieces stacked together, right? I directly incorporated that stacked state into the armor design. The chest area is layered in tiers, evoking the image of samurai armor. Since it features dual swords, the fighting style has a samurai vibe. Additionally, to make it feel like potato chips, we added a rough, crinkly texture all over the body.>Yamamoto: For Gavv's form changes, the basic style involves only swapping the front mask (the back half of the head is a shared part), similar to Zero-One. It gives the impression of a Kamen Rider 'mask' that keeps changing. Even after the form change, the eyes and the O-Signal on the forehead retain the same shape as the Poppin Gummy form.>We differentiated the eyes by using a potato texture pattern different from the armor body. Choosing 'ruffled potato chips' makes it look like the mask's light slits naturally. A fun design point is that the ruffles slant downward to the lower right, making it look droopy-eyed (friendly) from certain angles.>From the front, it looks like two antennae sticking out in classic Masked Rider style, but the key is that from the side, you realize it's actually 'potato chips viewed from the edge.' We used the thinness of the chips to form the antennae. It's a design packed with little ideas and playfulness.ZakuZaku ChipSlasher>Yamamoto: Potato chips burst out from a bag squeezed to its limit, then connect in a chain to form a massive blade. We paid special attention to the handle designed as a snack bag, and instead of straight lines, giving the blade 'bite marks' adds more dynamic movement to the design. I think it's a weapon that pops and fits perfectly into Gavv's world.(1/?)
>>23687961>Mitsuo: We've always wondered if we could make Rider weapons using 'urethane foam' or soft materials. With urethane, we can create large weapons at a lower cost. Since this is a candy Rider season, thin and lightweight weapons are ideal. Plus, adding sounds would make it a fun product. I think we've successfully created a new category of 'urethane weapons'.Concept of Kamen Rider Gavv's No. 2 RiderKamen Rider as a "Man-Made Industrial Product"Karashita Hanto is a freelance journalist with a tragic past. 18 years ago, his mother was kidnapped by the Granutes. While investigating the truth of the case, he lost "Shioya," his beloved mentor, to another Granute. To fight back against them, Hanto decides to gain the power to transform into a Kamen Rider—but that means undergoing an unknown "modification surgery" to transplant "Granute organs" into his own body...!>Takebe: In Geats, anyone could become a Kamen Rider just by getting the Desire Driver, but in this series, the worldview doesn't make it that easy. For an ordinary person to become a Rider, there needs to be a solid reason backing it up. So we settled on transplanting Granute organs to gain transformation ability. After checking with TV Asahi and all relevant parties that 'modification surgery' wasn't off-limits, we decided to incorporate this into the story.(2/?)
>>23686971>>23687962>Yamabe: For example, if it were a modification using real-world or near-future tech like a pacemaker or artificial heart, I'd see that as a different issue. I don't want kids or anyone to feel pain from that kind of setting. I want to create work that makes people think, 'Even if you're sick, you have to keep trying.' Simply put, for watching Kamen Rider, in Hanto's case, transplanting Granute organs doesn't exist in the real world, so we decided it was fine. We even had the Granute organs designed to not resemble anything real in the human world. Despite various opinions, for this series' world and story context, we got approval from everyone.To defeat the monster that kidnapped his mother, he needs power—but to gain that power, he must embed the enemy's power into his own body. Hanto's determination is thus shackled by this contradiction.>Yamabe: Hanto hates Granutes to his core, but becoming a Rider brings him closer to becoming one himself. He has to bear this contradiction, and I think that's what makes Hanto a hero.>Kaneko: To be honest, Shoma (the protagonist) isn't human either, so Hanto represents the human side that's necessary to rise up against the Granutes.The No. 2 Kamen Rider that Hanto transforms into is modeled after "chocolate," a super popular and everyday candy. What does his appearance look like?>Kaneko: We decided early on that the No. 2 Rider would be chocolate. When designing 'Gavv,' chocolate was one of the first options sketched as a main form change. After hearing Takebe-san's concept that the No. 2 Rider would have a different transformation system, I thought we should change the hero's concept too. Since it's a transformation using human-developed technology, I proposed not using candy power directly, but incorporating 'packaging' into the design. Packaging or logos are man-made, so adding an 'industrial product' feel would fit perfectly.(3/?)
>>23687964The transformation item for the Chocolate Rider is a bizarre-looking bread... >Mitsuo: The initial toy concept was a 'transformation item that torments Gojiso to extract its power.' Because Toei explained it as a weapon created by a mad scientist.Suga Kenzo, the developer of the Valen Buster, is a man worthy of the title "mad scientist." Viewing this transformation bread as a torture device makes it seem like an item strangely reflecting the darkness in Suga's heart.>Kaneko: We refined it into an image of 'forced transformation.' If it looked too torturous for Gojiso, it'd be pitiful, so we adjusted the sound to feel like getting shocked and numbed all over. The scream isn't 'Gyaa!' but 'Kyaa!' —a startled shriek with a hint of secret delight. For the sound effects, we used an Orthodontic sound system to differentiate it from Gavv's belt sounds.Karashita Hanto, the No. 2 Rider, is a man who lost his family to the enemy and became a "beast of vengeance." The man who underwent modification surgery to become a Kamen Rider, wearing a leather coat to track enemy traces—this is a true "Showa Rider" image. With his retro look that veteran fans will acknowledge, he hunts the Granutes with brutal, dust-kicking fighting style!(4/4)

Koyomi's actress' child
Yo what do we think we're getting for mass crossovers after Girls Remix? Outsiders 2? Secondary focus?
>>23688097Oh please tell me either the baby or the doggo is named Haruto.
>>23688107I don't think she disclosed the names of either, but I don't really know
>>23688097I don't understand why they cast her if she didn't even have the decency to show up for location shoots and was spending more time with her band travelling the country. Did her agency force her on them or is she a nepobaby?
>>23688099After two series I could see them opting for one-offs like King-Ohger in Space and Boonboomger Formation Lap.
