What would you like to say to this form before Exdream debuts in the next episode?

I haven't caught up to Zeztz yet but did the Lord Five suit ever come back? I'm guessing it got kitbashed for Three or got damaged when the suit actor got injured?
>>23837671Five hasn't re-transformed yet and Lord Three only transformed once in the whole series thus far.

New interview: https://m.crank-in.net/interview/184041/1
The Agito movie is gonna be really good.
>>23837766The general reaction so far from the prescreenings is that it's a really fun movie and better than the two prior anniversary movies, but it isn't a top tier movieI really want to watch it, have they said when the blu-ray is coming out or if they're releasing on a western cinema due to the new movie label?
>>23837673You posted this shit without context last thread
>>23837666She had issues with Inazuma Plasma and got put in a coma by Dawn, she must be really dedicated if she's going after Zeztz Exdream after all that.

>>23837666>>23837806>>23837672Only a writer like Takahashi could handle the Lords as poorly as this.
>>23837932Isn't this more of a budgetary issue of Nox Knight, Lord 5, Lord 3 and Lord 3 Booster all being the same getting retooled multiple times rather than 4 copies of the same mold? 5 and 3 even share suit actorsLord 6 is the odd one out my only guess is that he doesn't know how to write her without 5 and the reset made it difficult to have a spotlight spot for 3

>>23837956>Isn't this more of a budgetary issue of Nox Knight, Lord 5, Lord 3 and Lord 3 Booster all being the same getting retooled multiple times rather than 4 copies of the same mold? 5 and 3 even share suit actorsLord Three Booster is just a minor retool, I don't believe it would take them this long to change the suit from base to Booster since something like Suel Gazer showed up the episode after base Gazer's last appearance. They can also seemingly delay some debuts as long as they want, so why not give Lord Five a couple more fights and hold Lord Three off until the actual moment they decide for Three to get off his ass and become an active fighter? Instead they have to keep coming up with excuses for Five to not transform, while Three transforms once and then decides to not do it again for the entirety of the next story arc despite putting Lord Three right there in its promotional poster.>he doesn't know how to write her without 5 and the reset made it difficult to have a spotlight spot for 3Yeah, that's a writing issue that can be pinned on him because doing the reset at the point it happened to maximize shock factor was seemingly his idea. Six getting benched so quickly twice in a row is just ridiculous.
>>23837983In Gazer's case the only modification they did to show Suel being in control was a red sticker on the visor, easily reversible and they wrote out Niram from the current game that same episode. Glare had a rougher patch as it was always being modified for new users, and by the time it reappeared in Gotchard you could see how hastily repainted the suit was.
>>23837993>In Gazer's case the only modification they did to show Suel being in control was a red sticker on the visor, easily reversibleLord Three Booster is almost the same, they just gave it a bracer from a completely different suit and a new shoulderpad with tentacles that may or may not have been retooled from Lord Three's old one, and even then there's a spare shoulderpad from the suit of the bitch they'll probably bench for the third time in a row. Even if Booster's helmet was an actual repaint and not just Three's with stickers in top, we know they can also repaint helmets in the span of just one episode, since Solomon debuts the episode after Jaou Dragon's last appearance.
>>23837846The 50th anniversary cover by KR Drake goes way too hardhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q3taSxQbX0
>>23837853Christ Twitter/Redditors have the worst humor imaginable I don't even gotta question why DonBrothers was so insanely popular with them
>>23838046They hate Donbrothers because Inoue wrote it lmao
>>23837956>>23837983When were these episodes filmed? Yuzuki had a moment in late 2025 where she was filming another movie and also starring in a play, so that might have impacted things in Zeztz.
>get my super best v buckle today>open it up excited to finally own a v buckle of any kind>it looks like someone actually went and played around with it before boxing itBandai needs to stop letting their child workers play with the toys before boxing them, man.
>>23838068Last week's episode was filmed in late September of last year.
>>23838050Donbrothers is literally their favourite Sentai season though
>>23838086Their favorite Sentai season is whichever is the newest one because they're consumer faggots who chase new products, and post-mortem anything that has even the slightest misalignment with their moral agenda is terrible. It's not that deep.
>>23837762>this, too must be a black c-ACK
>>23838019Solomon's helmet is another hastily done repaint/sticker job, they even kept some of the gold on the horn and chin from Jaou Dragon as a half assed attempt to make it look like Caladbolg making the gold mismatch with the rest of the design. Saber in general is notorious for it's very fast turn over on repaints though, especially in the end game which is why most of them are generally not well received. Lord Three Booster is definitely just a sticker job but the absence of the suit from Five's debut to Three's debut is also partially because of Gavv Guilty Parfait, they all share Valen's suit actor.
>>23838104Didn't Three's suit actor also get an injury at some point?
>>23838110Yeah he broke his skull, the guy recovered luckily and is going to go back to suit acting in like two months but his last credit in Zeztz should be somewhere in the mid-30s
>>23838118Guess that means Three is gonna get killed by ExDream or Midnight Shadow in that case. Sucks, but nothing they could do about it
>>23837658I look forward to seeing how the parts of this suit will be made into a power up for Nox in a webmovie
Kekera is right, suffering makes for the most entertainment.
>>23838104>Lord Three Booster is definitely just a sticker job but the absence of the suit from Five's debut to Three's debut is also partially because of Gavv Guilty Parfait, they all share Valen's suit actor.They could've just used a substitute like they've done many times before. Also, the V-Cinema had nothing to do with the suit actor's injury, the timelines don't match up.All these excuses just sound like bullshit, it makes more sense for it to just be Takahashi mishandling characters like usual.
>>23837658He was cooler in the second fight against Dark ZEZTZ. I'm going to miss the Orderm Clutch.
>>23837658Zeztz's best suit in spite of the chest belt tumor, it's a shame they phased it out so quickly despite it being Catastrom's counterpart.
>>23838133>I'm going to pretend all these facts are bullshit just to spout my takahashi hateJust say you're a faggot next time.
>>23838134>the Orderm ClutchThe Orderm what?
First Blizzard, now Orderm, did the current management or something really hates penultimate forms?
Seriously the suit looks better without the yellow. They really should've toned down the yellow.
>>23838143What fucking facts? The news of the suit actor's injury came out long after the V-Cinema's first trailer, you're the faggot making shit up just to defend a mediocre writer.
Amano-san sure is enjoying his time in those Rider shops, do you guys think Riders get a discount? Would Toei even give them a discount?
>>23838146It would look much better if it actually looked like G3 instead of a robotic Amazon Neo.
>>23838150its all a hashtag ad for the store by using him like that
Most Heisei Phase 1 final forms were kinda lame.>Agito Shining Form is just a stronger Flame Form.>Ryuki Survive just makes everything worse. Worse choreography, worse finisher, worse Sword Vent. Fight scenes take a total nosedive after its introduction.>Faiz Blaster is just Red Faiz with a laser cannon.>Blade King Form completely and utterly fails to utilize any of its abilities properly. Though to be honest, I don't have as many complaints about fight scenes since prior to unlocking it, Kenzaki barely seemed to know what he was doing most of the time.>Armed Hibiki is just a souped up Hibiki Kurenai, greatly reducing the use of Hibiki's trademark sticks in favor of another fucking sword>Hyper Kabuto is just faster Rider Form, which wouldn't even be that bad if he didn't trade his CQC and knife for a generic laser cannon/sword. His trademark fighting style is completely lost in favor of just fighting like every Rider before him.>Liner Form's okay. In practice, it mostly just makes up for the fact that he can't freely call on Imagin anymore, but Train Slash is a cool finisher. Ryoutarou isn't really as good at fighting as Momotaros or Urataros, but it has personality.>Kiva Emperor Form's fine, honestly. Mostly I'm just disappointed because base Kiva looks cooler.>Decade Complete Form just hits things with a sword and shoots lasers. Trades out iconic pink design for just silver and black. Fight scenes just become worse in every way.Honestly, it kinda just annoys me how often choreography becomes worse the second the final form is unlocked.
>>23838146Yellow was probably to help it stand out a little. G7 is the main character of this movie, and I guess they just wanted it to pop out on screen a little more. He doesn't really look like a main character with just silver and blue.
>>23838155Dont ruin the illusion that he likes Riders a little too much for me
Why are both Masked Rider Agito movies not actually about Masked Rider Agito?
>>23837749The paintjob looks beautiful.
>>23838168everything magiyellow does is also a hashtag ad
>>23837749>simple recolorretard alert
What are the chances Ozawa makes an off-hand comment about a certain student of her's in London?
>>23837699Zero-Two and Geats IX are in a league of their own compared to the rest. It's just kind of a shame that Zero-Two is more associated with Izu in post-show appearances with Realizing Hopper considered Aruto's "real" final form.
>>23838187Fairly low. There's no reason for an anniversary movie to promote/reference an old V-Cinema series
>>23838183
>>23838187Zero. This is written by Inoue, produced by Shirakura. They don't give a shit about referencing what other people did.
>>23838190Geats IX struggled to kill a single mook in a skateboard.
>>23837742Elements > Round Zero
>>23838191>an old V-Cinema seriesThe Eins special came out 3 months ago.
>>23838119Not necessarily, the suit should be able to fit Eitoku so as long as they don't have Nox and 3 fighting on screen at the same time it should be ok
>>23838129Kekera never spoke a single lie
>>23838170Inoue thought it will be funnySpeaking seriously at least for the anniversary movie it's because it was Hikawa's actor's idea to do an anniversary movie so the staff just sort of came to the conclusion of him being the protagonist, as for G4 I have no idea
>>23838146G7 should look more like its number 7 lol
>>23837742>Ex-aid What
Since the guy who drew My-Th mistook him as a girl, do you think Yuichi Hachisuka will be his suit actor?He's pretty much the suit actor with the most twink build besides Fujita who will most likely be My-Th's action director and I just cannot imagine Yuya Nawata playing a Mouse Rider of all things, I feel like Nawata will be playing the secondary this time or something
>>23838224I think Pumpkin just saw the suit for a very short time, the suit actor for My-Th will probably be Yuji Nakata since they'd want someone insanely agile to play a mouse
>>23838220Ex-Aid is a popular season. What's weird about that?
So uhh iz Zeztz in the world of Agito? That cameo brought up Unknowns.
>>23838234All seasons are standalone except for the occasional crossover. It's best not to think too hard about it since the world building wouldn't make sense
>>23838229If it's Nakata I just hope they give My-th a berserk form since him fighting as Bitter Gavv was awesomeAlso because I feel the reason they picked a rat of all things to be the anniversary Rider is because of the whole pest thing
>>23838234It's just a quick cameo to shill the upcoming Agito movie, think of it like that time The First's Takeshi Hongo showed up in Kabuto for no reason
>>23838234Just don't worry about itjust imagine Tsukasa threw her into the World of Zeztz as a joke if you need a reason.
>>23838190One thing I think they could do is just have a slightly altered extra form. Like take one of the spare 02 suits (I'm assuming there's more than one as is standard for main Rider suits), recolor some of it to resemble Rider 1 a little more. The form could be called "Kamen Rider 01 Ver.02", as a state that allows it to use Realizing Hopper's abilities in a more stable state while also having many of 02's advantages. For IS, give her a modified 02-Driver designed for her personal use, with an altered and more feminine design than just "02 worn by a shorter and thinner suit actor". Call it "Kamen Rider 02 Ver.IS".
>>23838234All shows take place in the same world.
>>23838237>Also because I feel the reason they picked a rat of all things to be the anniversary Rider is because of the whole pest thingIt's because the mouse is a small nonthreatening animal you wouldn't expect a Legendary Hero to have as a motif. Also the Riders seem to have some prey vs predator theme going on.
>>23838258They only have one version of each suit. The only suit that they have multiples of is the base form, one for close up shots and one for action scenes.
>>23838275Eh, it's not exactly odd or anything. Most Riders have relatively innocuous motifs in comparison to their enemies. Most Showa Riders are insects. And you might say "Akshully, grasshoppers are terrifying predators!", and that's true. But never forget that Hongo's first enemies were a bat and a spider, which usually eat grasshoppers. When your enemies consist of creatures from all over the animal kingdom, from wasps to tigers to just every piscivore you can imagine, being insect-themed doesn't exactly put you in a position of superiority.
>>23838286Even then, though, for this idea, all you'd really need to do is make new gloves and maybe boots to sell the theme.
>>23837742>The chinks currently have Valen as their #6 riderHow? He's a jobber rider to the utmost degree who accomplishes little to nothing.
>>23838292That's what makes him cool. He gets beaten down, the show acknowledges he's weak, but he gets up for more.I didn't realize until recently that people seriously use "jobber" as a criticism, rather than just a description.
>>23838305A Rider's ability to win fights is often a significant factor in their perceived value. So much so that there's a decent chunk of people who love OmaZi-O just because of how powerful he is despite his lack of personality. Same with Decade. So many people love Decade just because he was strong in his own show, and tend to express outrage at how much he jobs in his post-show appearances. But no one really cares about the themes behind his character, it's all just powerlevels.
When was the last time we saw one of Kuuga's Rising Forms on screen? Or Amazing Mighty Form?
https://x.com/i/status/2048947809718809006movie is coming to SEA and LATAM
>>23838305It would make him cool if he actually won fights out of sheer force of will, but every time he gets back up they just stomp him into the ground again. The show never stops making fun of him for being weak. He's not a cool underdog like Hikawa or Kagami, he's a pathetic one like Keiwa.Like, what's the lesson to be learned with characters like him and Keiwa? That if you're weak and pathetic you'll always be weak and pathetic, and you'll always need guys that are cooler and stronger than you to bail you out because you always bite more than you can chew?

The show never stops making fun of him for being weak. He's not a cool underdog like Hikawa Did you really dislike Hikawa before G3-X debuted? I thought the portrayal of damage on the suit and him trying to fight in spite of the proper equipment was cool. Yeah, G3-X gave fanservice by actually allowing him to overpower opponents, but I enjoyed G3's role pretty well even before that.>Like, what's the lesson to be learned with characters like him and Keiwa?The issue with Keiwa is that the show several times just made fun of him losing during that middle portion of the series. So, yeah, there was really no point in that case. It wasn't even used to build his frustrations with Geats leading to his turn, since they focused the start of his actual turn on his grudge against Geats' mother rather than Geats himself directly.Hanto's weakness was actually treated seriously and even created distance between him and the others for a couple of episodes. Hanto not being on Gavv's level also playing into Gavv trying to do things by himself at times.>>23838323They were never used after Kuuga in live action. They didn't recreate/repaint the suits for Decade and so afterwards never bothered either since it's a suit-only Kuuga that barely gets screentime.
https://twitter.com/toeiHERO_movie/status/2048605556269801768Zeztz introduction.
>>23838352Only Mighty Form was recreated. Whenever they had Dragon, Titan or Pegasus Form appear, it was just the original suits from the show. Titan was particularly obvious because the wear and tear showed especially well on it.

>>23838359yeah

>>23837722>w>blade>gavvBased Chinese.
I'm actually surprised how much I'm enjoying Gotchard's last arc, I felt that Saber, Revice and Geats had a weak final arc compared to earlier episodes, meanwhile I feel Gotchard's final arc is better than the early stuff. Gigist is a neat villain too, he seems like an evil empath, which is neat when all the chemies are empaths.
>>23838365Personally I didn't enjoy the final arc because I didn't care about the characters that much, only the episodes focused on Kajiki and the horror lab episode impressed meBut I completely understand liking Gotchard's final arc more because compared to those 3, Gotchard's villains have more character to them and the arcs for Rinne and Spanner aren't rushed in the second half compared to Neon and Keiwa
>>23838367I'm still very early on in the final arc, right now Kekera is having a blast and Hotarou is an egg
>>23838369You'll probably love most of what follows then, only the very last episode might come off as weak
https://twitter.com/tokusatsumynavi/status/2048945293580812536Agito movie scene.
Why haven't they got him back?Almost every interview talks as if they were able to get the writers they wanted first try implying they haven't even tried for some reason
>>23838379Isn't he writing anime right now
Visual scene attempt.
>>23838380He did one in January but working on anime hasn't really stopped him beforeBut more than that I just find it weird that producers talk as if they don't even consider hiring him for Rider or even in general, like when he came back for Kiramager they actually wanted to get Sanjo for it, I like Sanjo a lot too but considering Arakawa's track record I'm surprised he wasn't even the first choice despite being available
>>23838349Nice projection, faggot.>>23838352>Did you really dislike Hikawa before G3-X debuted?No, I didn't, precisely because he didn't remain a pathetic jobber from beginning to end and proved himself to be a great example of humanity's potential by standing up to and defeating threats that were more powerful than him. He actually surpassed his limits, which made his constant jobbing worthwhile.>Hanto's weakness was actually treated seriously and even created distance between him and the others for a couple of episodes. Hanto not being on Gavv's level also playing into Gavv trying to do things by himself at times.That might've been true during the first two quarters but afterwards it was pretty much just a joke, he never truly managed to close the gap between himself and the others.
>>23838379I assume it's eitherA. Young producers want to proof themselves by hiring someone new on their first go at toku rather than doing the smart thing of hiring someone already established like every 90s and 00s producer didB. They've actually tried getting Arakawa back after Kuuga but failed probably because he thinks he can't live up to Kuuga and they just pretend their pre-production went smoothlyMost likely A because Toei sure wasn't shy about not being able to get the writers they wanted for Blade, Kiramager and Gozyuger plus you also have them being public of the mess that Gotchard's pre-production wasHell that's probably why Yoshio Urasawa hasn't come back either despite seemingly being availableIf these newbies weren't way too smug for their own good they wouldn't keop getting demoted
>>23838382Cool action, felt a bit floaty by Fujita's standards though but I can tell I'll have fun with this film
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQwLmtaiPRwAgito 8.
>>23838365>Saber had a weak final arc compared to earlier episodesWhat a peculiar opinion.Also, you're not in Gotchard's final arc yet, Gigist is not the final boss.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7Yj0sAuMzoAgito 9.
>>23838365Dude what, how the fuck did Saber have a weak final arc. It was like one of the very few things it did well.
>>23838398Yeah, I actually liked the middle (betrayal, funny sword man, northern base, vs Solomon) a lot more than the final arc with Storious.
>>23838287That wasn't my opinion on why the motif was picked, it's basically what Takebe herself said about the mouse motif:>Producer Takebe explained that the program will be "a story of a single person who becomes a beacon of hope for the future, and eventually becomes a mythical figure.">At the press conference, the show's title logo was also unveiled. Regarding the intriguing motif, producer Takebe hinted, "The hint is in the shape of the logo. It's triangular with a small hole in it, and it's yellow. Kamen Rider started with a hero who fought using the power of grasshoppers, and the latest series will also feature an unexpected motif. It will be a hero who fights by unleashing the strongest power from a small creature.
>>23838404I liked it, but I didn't have strong feelings on it. I felt that it dragged on, sort of like Revice's.
>>23838408He's attempting to do ryuki 4.0
>>23838411>He
>>23838407I thought you meant the first few episodes of the show, because imo that's the worst part of Saber and the best part of both Geats and Revice, I think the latter two's middles are pretty weak as well.
This is Kuuga Rising Ultimate Form. Say something nice about it.
>>23838451I like the helmet.
>>23838451I genuinely think it looks great, but I do wish Onodera used it in the show instead. Honestly it was kind of annoying how he was just getting beat up in his normal forms and any version of Ultimate was forced on him and made him a berserker. His rivalry with Decade definitely should have been developed more as the one that can actually come close to stopping Decade like in the opening vision, rather than just making him a weak comic relief.
I've finally watched OOO: 10 Years After movie and...It's fine? It's pretty good even. Why the fuck everybody hates it so much? Was it just because they didn't get the yaoi happy ending?
>>23838458Onodera might have had more of a role if the show weren't just thirty episodes. And also if they didn't waste time on shit like the World of Shinkenger, World of Black and the World of Amazon. I mean, World of Black was cool fanservice, but utterly superfluous.Honestly, in terms of forms, the show kinda squandered a lot of its potential. Even putting aside criticism of the design, Decade Complete Form was pretty lame. Tsukasa's weird rivalry with Kaito never really went anywhere either.
>>23838404>It was like one of the many things it did wellFtfy
>>23838460Because they didn't write Eiji's death in a way that made sense, a lot of people were already expecting Eiji to die before the movie came out to keep the tragedy aspect of OOO's ending but the movie did it in the most forced way possibleGoda being such an extremely shit villain and King OOO returning without any explanation and not expanding the worldbuilding in any significant ways despite what the OOO summer movie did with Gaara definitely didn't helpIt's just a legitimately shoddy script with a forced tragedy that felt like a spit in the face to the audience, a good final episode protagonist death would be what they originally wanted to do 555 and W before executives got in their staff's way but OOO 10th certainly wasn't that
>>23838460>Why the fuck everybody hates it so much?Because it's poorly written, the real Eiji is barely in the movie, and him dying just doesn't fit what his character arc in the show was about.
>>23838460If you liked that's fine but Mouri's writing when he's heading a project are considered to be some of the worst in tokusatsu as a mediumThere's a reason why this guy is basically stuck doing fujo idol shit for anime and stageplays
>>23838265I honestly believe Kazuma and Hajime are still out there just living their lives while shit keeps happening around them.Although I would like to see someone try to explain the Jokers with Geats's future.
>>23838347>Oddtaxi's writerOmoshire, also wow Sougo's actor plays a lot of delinquents
>>23838491Yeah it's funny how he slowly figured out he liked playing these kinds of characters the most over someone like Sougo.
>>23838494Maybe Mirror Sougo awoke something in him.
>>23838496What's the drama by the way? A delinquent drama by the Odd Taxi writer?
kek
>>238384601) Making it somehwat post-apocalyptic feels off, OOO may get dark but the show's identity is that it's jovial and hopeful.2) If you want them to have Eiji at the risk of dying it's fine, but I feel like if they change the ending to Ankh attaching himself to Eiji to heal him, forcing them to fuse for the time being would really fit the two, plus Eiji worked to restore Ankh so now it's his turn.3) It didn't help that the movie felt very low budget, suits look off and even had to be ducktaped, and Birth X didn't do anything.
>>23838347I love the bit in Super Hero Senki where the heroes are reunited you'd see in the background Zi-O and Zero-One are chatting with each other.

Apparently due to the complaints of the Amazing Gavv SH Figuarts nips on twitter are doing edits of upcoming SH figuarts preview images to make them "accurate"
>>23838417Ah, yeah, the initial Saber arc was very meh for me. It's not that I dislike the final arc for Saber, but I feel that it doesn't do anything interesting (for me). The middle has the betrayals, funny sword man, the LOGOS issue and Isaac, the two Megid beefing with Touma and Rintaro, PRIMITIVE DRAGON. The final arc has decent fights and the based Desast episode, but story-wise it didn't really do anything for me.

>>23838323>>23838356Wasn't it that Mighty Form was painted into Amazing Mighty, and then for Decade they repaint it back which cause the suit to look metallic? Hell I heard that the Rising forms are just them repainting the suits over and over. I kinda wish they're permanent upgrades.

>>23838530love how Riderman is just chilling there
>>23838542Shouldn't it be the day before this week's episode?
>>23838458When Decade was airing, I kept wishing Onodera would somehow cross paths with Godai, even if it was just suit only, so he could see for one fight what the real Kuuga is supposed to be like and stop being such a loser. He was used as the show's buttmonkey way too much.
>>23838555>He was used as the show's buttmonkey way too much.Keiwa and Hanto before Keiwa and Hanto.
>>23838518Honestly I think the final arcs in Rider shouldn't have too much going on because at that point it's pretty hard to wrap everything up in a satisfying way. By that point they should just focus on dealing with the final boss's last scheme, unveiling the last few mysteries of the plot, wrapping up the remaining character arcs and giving closure to the main themes of the story. Introducing new storylines, characters and bosses when there's only 10 episodes or less left just makes things way too messy.
>>23838544This sounds more like something Nem would sing
>>23838559Yeah, that's true, Revice's was the opposite and juggles a ton of things all at once with it's finale, even killing off the main villain early to attend to other matters.
>>23838555I think there were two core issues holding Onodera back. The first is that he was kinda superfluous in regards to the needs of the show. His purpose was to be a reference point for Decade's sense of morality, but that was all he was really needed for. There were only thirty episodes and the show needed to hyperfocus on Decade himself, meaning Onodera's effectiveness in battle was directly affected by the needs of the episode. Whenever his presence was a hindrance, he was treated as such. There wasn't really enough room in Decade for two core Riders, much less three.The second is that Inoue didn't write Kuuga and probably didn't really understand Kuuga at all. If anything, I doubt he watched the show. Kuuga's inclusion in the core cast was likely an executive mandate, but Inoue probably saw him as an eyesore.
>>23838564It probably also didn't help that Tsukasa was just way stronger than Onodera.
>>23838558Onodera stumbled so that Keiwa and Hanto could also stumble.
>>23838517What are the complaints? Actual figure aren't metallic?
>>23838570That the paint of Amazing Gavv isn't like the ones from the preview images which wasn't really an issue with SH Figuarts before so they're arguing it's false advertising and sent a formal complaint to the governmentThe complaints will go nowhere since before the release Bandai gave statement that the figure might not look like preview images, people are theorizing that Bandai might be having production issues with their factories
>>23838564Inoue isn't Decade's head writer though?
>>23837809>>23837673lol
>>23838564As the other anon said Inoue wasn't the head writer it was Aikawa for the first third, no one for the middle then Yonemura for the last thirdIIRC but I may be wrong since I'm going from memory it was Shirakura's decision to have Onodera be so different and apparently Aikawa wanted to become closer to Godai by the end once he had gotten character development but because he left after Shirakura did a change to Daiki's character without his consentI really don't get what Shirakura was going for since unless I'm mistaken he wanted to avoid making the characters copies of the originals but he also got Aikawa and then Yonemura as head writers because they were the only heisei toku writers that had actually watched every rider season
Probably the biggest factor that hurt Onodera was that the initial set of Rider Worlds focused on Decade developing a bond with that world's main Rider. Onodera's kind of a third wheel in those worlds.
>>23838593How was Daiki's character changed?
>>23838597If I had to guess, it was the World of Diend. Giving him a backstory like that probably completely altered the original plans for his character. Ultimately, we never actually learned what his connection was with Tsukasa prior to his memory loss.

>>23837699I miss Ikki and Vice. The magnet stuff was cool
>>23838317>So many people love Decade just because he was strong in his own show, and tend to express outrage at how much he jobs in his post-show appearances. But no one really cares about the themes behind his character, it's all just powerlevels.Nice generalization there. I don't think I'm in the minority in appreciating Tsukasa for being an inversion of wish fulfillment characters and making the best of his nebulous fate by playing the roles he's given to the hilt. The outrage over Decade jobbing comes the same issue every Rider has in crossover movies: having their characters and abilities mostly ignored to lose to a less fleshed out character for the sake of the plot. It's still power levels, but it's more nuanced than that.
>>23838613I wonder if they would have acknowledged Godai in this version of the story. Since they obviously couldn't have gotten Odagiri back
>>23838599Even now, we can only guess at what Diend's deal was. Most likely, Decade being the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker wasn't part of the original plans either.
My guess is that Decade was originally gonna lean much more heavily into the metafiction elements of the character. There were clearly some weird esoteric elements going on in the show that can't be explained cleanly by Dai-Shocker's meddling alone. Something more bizarre was going on, and Diend likely had the answers. But with all the changes Shirakura made, those original plans completely went down the shitter and this is what we ended up getting.
>this is a japanese meme for some reason
>>23838595He had potential in Kiva world but come Ryuki's world he fully becomes a sidekick.
>>23838634He was in the way. If it were me, I'm not really sure if I would have had a Kuuga around at all. The show was about Decade, not Decade and Kuuga. When you're trying to have Decade and Faiz bond, you really don't need Kuuga around.
>>23838619I forget, how did Odagir's contract for the canceled Kuuga movie work again?
>G7 not selling out instantly>G7 still in-stock at P-BandaiNo one wants G7.
>>23838645It would've sold better if they called it G6-7
>>23838517>>23838573this is like Dark Zagi situation all over again.
>>23838593There are a few key points of interest that might shed a bit of light on what Aikawa was intending on.>The mysterious "Wataru" that appeared before Tsukasa in the first episode. He says that in order to save the world, Tsukasa's power is needed. However, he also states that Decade will be the one to destroy all Riders.>"Wataru's" true identity was never fully elaborated on. The bizarre nature of his appearance where he seems to warp Decade to another reality in order to speak to him are never explained. >Diend and Narutaki have some sort of history, with Narutaki generally not wanting to get involved with Kaito. This history is never explained.>Diend's history with Decade is also never explained.>Decade and Diend both appear to have meta knowledge of the Rider World's, though Decade's is much more fragmented than Diend's. What's interesting about Diend is that he seems to be aware of the original settings for the Heisei Kamen Riders. He knows too many things that he shouldn't.>The Nine Heisei Rider Worlds seem to be deliberately distorted, and the Riders themselves seem to be written on purpose to contrast the original Riders they're based on. >Onodera is much more abrasive and aggressive than the original Godai, presumably to facilitated his eventual transformation into the Dark Eyes variant of Kuuga. This would normally be unlikely for Godai, whose gentle heart would prevent him from succumbing to such violence. The one who gave Onodera the Arcle was Narutaki. All the Riders have weird little issues like this, preventing them from being the "ideal Kuuga" or the "ideal Ryuki", at least up to the World of Agito, which was the last set of episodes Aikawa wrote.>The intent of these worlds was likely to give the viewer a sense of "wrongness", that there's something deliberately messed up about these worlds.

>>23838794Aikawa also wrote the last two episodes of Wizard, which featured the strange world of monsters, the Rider Rings and the mysterious villain Amadum. It's implied that this world is in fact the World of Wizard, in the same vein as the Rider Worlds from Decade's original show. This show also brings the light the "Cross of Fire", the symbol of the Riders' traits of good being born from evil, a very meta concept that's in line with Decade's usual shenanigans. Amadum's ability to take on the appearances of previous villains like Super Douji and Shiro is reminiscent of Narutaki's ability to transform into Showa era villains.I believe that Aikawa was subtly reusing ideas that he intended to explore in Decade. Amadum might be the same type of being as Narutaki, and perhaps offers some insight in regards to Narutaki's true identity. It's my belief that Decade, Diend, Narutaki and possibly Amadum were all originally from the same place.
>revice in the trash bin
>>23838794>>"Wataru's" true identity was never fully elaborated on. The bizarre nature of his appearance where he seems to warp Decade to another reality in order to speak to him are never explained.https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/4434817/#4435141
>>23838809Also here's an interesting interview with Aikawa I found:https://tokusatsunetwork.com/2015/07/the-tokusatsu-network-interviews-boukenger-kamen-rider-blade-writer-sho-aikawa/
>>23838799Ehh, I'd say the AI video was tastefully used here as a way to morph them from their 2001 selves to their current selves.
>>23838809I recall that. It's obvious that Decade was supposed to be heavy on the meta, but it all went to shit when Aikawa left.
Gills Agito Trinity
>>23838804Revice has something better, just like Saber. The actors singing their inserts themselves.
>>23838816Funnily enough, Haganeya seems like the only guy who really seems to understand what Decade is supposed to be. His brief cameo in the Decade novel isn't much, but it does strike at the core of Decade's role as a metafiction character.It makes me sad how almost everything to do with Decade ends up a disappointment. Super Hero War wasn't very good. The one saving grace is when it hinted at something with Narutaki, but we all know that never fucking went anywhere. Kamen Rider War was a shitshow. It also made Decade suicidal for some reason, but never explained why. Decade's appearances in Zi-O were kinda cool, but ultimately insubstantial. The Decade novel isn't worth reading.To this day, I have no idea what Inoue was trying to accomplish with the Decade/Zi-O Rider Times. Like there wasn't really a story or a message or anything. It all sort of just felt like one non-sequitur over another. In the end, Decade gets stabbed by a fake Yusuke, jobs and dies. Meanwhile the Zi-O cast is just sort of left wondering what the fuck happened. And now Decade's been replaced by Legend.
>>23838816I think part of the reason Aikawa left is that he didn't want to go all in on Shirakura's meta story concept in th first place. Aikawa wrote Wataru saying he'd be protecting the world with his "companions" while Decade went on his journey, which clearly fits nowhere with Shirakura's meta-Wataru deal.

>>23838879Nah, I think the meta element was always meant to be part of it. There's no other way to explain Wataru. Whatever the case is, there's no way that Wataru is meant to be the same character as the one from Masked Rider Kiva.
>>23838885Damn she got the moves
>>23838887I don't doubt there'd be meta messages, but I think the way Aikawa was attempting to set things up (and considered various other works of his, like Concrete Revolutio) the "meta" aspects would be just "themes" they wouldn't be used as a replacement for self contained in-universe explanations for the show.
>>23838885She looks like a menhera streamer. I bet she'd make a fine dreamer.
>>23838900The most important element of Decade, and the central premise that ties every single portrayal of Decade together, is the concept of "Rider Worlds". That is, the idea that every world is fundamentally defined by its main Rider. This is the one thing that never, ever changes regardless of who's writing, and it's an idea that cannot make sense outside of a metafictional context. Outside of a meta context, it doesn't make sense for every single reality to be defined by a single individual. Decade is a character who is constantly aware of this central premise, that all worlds must have a Rider, that all worlds are defined by that Rider. The fact that his show directly acknowledges this idea and uses it as its core foundation is proof that Masked Rider Decade is metafiction.It's as blatant as it gets.
>>23838904I found it cool how they solved the issue of Tsukuyomi's world with his idea of "well her world doesn't have a rider, so let's make one".
>>23838809>>23838813>>23838794>>23838800Thanks a lot for these, I've always questioned what was up with DecadeI guess another mystery of Decade that I don't know if the staff ever addressed was a theory fans had at the time that the reason the villains become Showa near the end and Apollo Geist ended up being the final boss was that the show was reusing designs from a canceled The Next sequel

>>23838958If it's indeed a chinese zodiac rider I'll be happy since it's a proper design motif unlike Geats, Gotchard and ZeztzGod I can only hope they get a good writer like Takano, Kuroda, Taguchi or Arakawa, although I'm willing to give Kaneko a chance despite never having headed a show
>>23838978>since it's a proper design motif unlike Geats, Gotchard and ZeztzI thought Geats was festival masks
>>23838977>>23838958>Mouse Rider with a gun in a Takebe show with Fujita as action directorWonder if the protagonist will be like Ace again since the mouse was the first one to arrive to the feast in the Chinese zodiac
So it's basically a chinese zodiac animal-themed season with My-Th "rising to legend status" as a mouse rider
>>23838981It's festival masks, animals due to the riders being prey and the main 4 riders being based on animals associated with japanese mythologyBut the rest of the animals and pretty much all of the buckles don't really have any sort of correlation
>>23838982I thought the whole point of the mouse was that he sort of sucked, and he only won because he tricked the ox into helping him? Sounds like he'd be more of a cowardly trickster if that's the case
>>23838982Also, the story I read about the cat was that he told the mouse to wake him up for the race, but the mouse purposefully let the cat sleep in and took his place in the race instead. And that's why the cat hates the mouse
>>23838958OK so Ox is 100% the Q2 rider

Seeing the "Original Sound" editions of rider games are weird. Like sure it includes the OP of the show, but the second vocal song is more often than not the secondary rider's theme rather than the actual vocals that you always hear. Decade not having Ride the Wind for instance is an odd choice.
>>23838996Monkey paw curls and it will be his daughter

Kickstart Full Versionhttps://youtu.be/dRmHPVqvDkU?si=d_IazjfI5xl2JBkR
Wow I do not care for Kick Start. Mogged by Sky's the Limit and even Shake it Off. Appealing to the west sucked for the two insert songs.
>>23839143His actor played one of the main characters in 428: Shibuya Scramble (an incredibly beloved sound novel game), and he's returning for it's long awaited spiritual successor Shibuya Scramble Stories.
>>23839220Yeah not a fan either. I'm never going to listen to it again outside of just hearing it in the show.Sky's The Limit is basically high energy ear candy while Shake It Off is pretty good. This is just random rap insert #2 but it has a J-rock chorus.
>>23839222>>23839143Did the platform give them back their crowdfunding money?
>>23839219It's good I guess but it's way too weak by Back-On standards
>>23839220>>23839234Imagine if they could have gotten Spotemgotem or Pooh Shiesty instead.
>>23838935
>>23839219shitty rap crapthis is on you minato!
>>23839219Its so strange how the insert themes for Zeztz aren’t hitting for me when the rest of the shows soundtrack is pretty great. These just seem very tryhard.
>>23839001Locked in anniversary movie jail
>>23839331It's because they apparently wanted the insert songs to feel western but the composers said they didn't know how to do it, so instead the rapper of BACK-ON just selected an already composed track and decided to rap for it for the first insert songI assume this new one is a similar case?
Anyone know when the new agito movie available outside of japan?
I'm glad I watched Agito last month, that little unknown joke gave me a chuckle
>>23839403They haven't said any dates yet for neither the international release or the blu-ray, but they'll probably say it soon if >>23838325 is any indication
>>23839219It's okay.
Looking at my local cinema in Tokyo for Agito times.It's only on a small screen there, but the first showing is sold out and the second is the pic.
>>23838926>G3-X and G3 on the right sideI'm guessing G7 and G6 will become heavily damaged at some point and they'll have no choice but to break out the museum pieces? That said, I'm surprised they have a working G3. Wasn't the original G3 suit heavily damaged? Did they actually bother repairing the thing? I recall the entire reason G3-X was made was because G3 was pretty ineffectual most of the time.
>>23838926Lmaoooooo.
>>23839632I hope Shouichi and Hikawa will at least mourn him.
>>23839629>I'm guessing G7 and G6 will become heavily damaged at some point and they'll have no choice but to break out the museum pieces?There's some other soldiers using them
>>23839648That poor lad in the G3 suit. At least he'll probably survive. I'm surprised there's no G3 Mild there. It'd make G3 look a little less useless.
>>23839629>I'm guessing G7 and G6 will become heavily damaged at some point and they'll have no choice but to break out the museum pieces? G3-X and G3 are used from the start by minor characters. We've seen them in the trailers.
>>23839629You unironically think that one moment in paradise regained is gonna be a common trope?
>>23838800I believe Decade, Diend and Narutaki each represented a different concept. Decade was "Destruction", and I believe Narutaki was "Preservation". As Wataru said in the first episode, destruction leads into creation, so Decade's role was probably to function as a transitional piece leading into a new era of Kamen Riders, destroying the old and remaking it anew. Narutaki, on the other hand, opposed this principle, and wanted to stop Decade's journey at any cost. Since Narutaki wears his heart on his sleeve and makes his intentions clear from start to finish, it's not too difficult to come up with two or three theories in regards to what he was and what he was after. The only thing that muddies the issue is that after Aikawa's departure, Narutaki's nature and his abilities changed. His ability to summon Wild Card Riders disappeared in favor of the ability to transform into Shocker generals in Movie War 2010. We have no way of knowing whether this was planned or not, though it seems rather unlikely to me. His nature also seems to have changed even more drastically in Kamen Rider War, in which not only is he Decade's ally, but he also gains the weird esoteric power to change his own size for no reason.Diend is a bit of an issue in that it's hard to gauge what his purpose was, and his character setting and purpose likely changed drastically at some point. Originally, he was probably the same time of being as Decade and Narutaki, a sort of "metafiction entity" who represented a specific principle like Decade and "Destruction". He's the hardest to pin down because we have absolutely no idea what the original plans for him were, and we were never given a meaningful answer to anything. Nowadays, he's just a wild card who arbitrarily changes his intentions on a whim.
>>23839729Also, Natsumi was probably meant to be something more special than what she ended up being as well.
Has anyone ever like consolidated all the more prominent Decade theories? Decade seems like the perfect show for this sort of thing, since it has a ton of unanswered questions, changed directions mid-show and has a lot of potential for discussion both in terms of its lore and also its production. Does Japan have any prominent theories about what was going on there?
For all the talk of My-Th's riders and theme, no one's brought up what his potential form changes will be. He'll obviously get them, but it hard to imagine how they'll do it with just the animal motif
>>23839219Even though it's BACK-ON, it really doesn't feel like it and it just sounds like the first insert song by Teeda. I don't even hate the first insert that much, but it's just a bit disappointing after all the bangers they brought in Gotchard. Weirdly, it feels a bit forced too.
>>23838982I really don't like that this is all sounding like Geats 2.0 especially with Takebe at the helm, but I do like the idea of a Chinese zodiac theme.
>>23839219I like it more than the first Zeztz insert. I hate it A LOT more than each an every other BACK-ON song.
>>23839772Takebe is very hands off so we can't expect anything until they announce the writer
>>23839779>Takebe is very hands offShe hasn't been hands off in her last two series. That's really in the past now.
>>23839788She was hands off, though. The only things we've heard about her is the usual last minute changes that derails the original plot
>>23838968First lemon says there's an owl which doesn't really fit well with the zodiac motif and now he thinks the wolf he saw is actually a cat. Why's he having so much trouble with the animal motifs?
>>23839788Compared to every other producer she actually was, it's just that when she actually does a change it's far more last minute without a fallback>>23839764All we know is that there will be weapon add-ons like Geats, if it's based in the chinese zodiac every one of them has their own element and the dark greenish blue in the logo might actually be Jade, I could totally see them getting a jade armor upgrade
>>23839764The Riders' weapons seem to be based on foods that their respective animal motifs eat (Dog has a bone blaster, Rabbit has a radish dagger and My-Th has a cheese gun), so maybe that's what the form changes will be based on. Although the trinkets being "eggs" makes it sound like it's yet another season with critter gimmicks, so maybe My-Th just changes into other animals for his side forms.
>>23839805>there will be weapon add-ons like GeatsOh even better...
>>23839812Cat's definitely getting a fish sword
>>23839788She wasn't hands-off in Gaim either.
>>23838958I still don't get why he used an owl emoji when there's a rooster emoji, it should be clear if it's a rooster right? >>23838992Either that or Dragon unless it ends up being the final boss or movie Rider.
>inb4 MY-TH ends up just being a rider version of this animeIt was a zodiac battle royale, and the winner was the mouse.
>>23839836Her last battle royale show was Geats. Unless she's willing to let the writer go loose with the concept, it's going to end up just like Geats and be undermined by hack writing, producer interference, hand wringing about the children and toy release schedules
Obviously fake leak:仮面ライダーマイスプロデューサー芝高啓介(テレビ朝日)武部直美(東映)原島果歩(東映)脚本横手美智子 他監督中澤祥次郎アクション監督藤田慧音楽山下康介角醒ハンターオメガホーンプロデューサー芝高啓介(テレビ朝日)久慈麗人(東映)渡部拓人(東映)髙橋諒平(東映)脚本冨岡淳広 他監督山口恭平アクション監督福沢博文音楽園田健太郎奈良悠樹
>>23839836I mean that's the most likely route, Ryuki wanted to create a defined image of justice due to 9/11, Gaim wanted to be Madoka Magica 2 and Geats wanted to chase the trend of Squid GameThe next natural step to not cause overlap is to make a tournament show, the only reason I'd see they wouldn't do this is because of Gozyuger wasn't that long ago but they're different franchises so I don't see why they would careSince it's Chinese Zodiac obviously the most fitting route would be to do whacky racers but they can't due to bike laws and it doesn't help that doing road trip seasons is expensive, when even was the last time they did a roadtrip show, Kakuranger?
Better look at Gills Agito Trinity from a stamp
Kino-san…
>>23839867Crazy how Yuuchami gets to be two new Riders in an Agito anniversary movie
>>23839867Sort of looks like an Another Rider
>>23839873The Gill Agitos are kaijin.
>>23839872Should've just called it Shining Another Agito
>>23839874>Human mouthProvides a nice little contrast with the "monster" mouths of Gills and Another Agito. How come "Perfect" Agito has no mouths?
>>23839879>>23839867The stamp here literally labels them with Masked Rider
>>23839881Because the theme is evolution, a Rider-esque mouthplate is the pinnacle of evolution, if Shoichi had kept going after Shining he would have gotten an Ichigo crusher mouth
>>23839873The fact that they also had her immediately locked in for G6 sounds like nepotism. I don't like her already
>>23839887But Gills' mouth is already very close to a Crusher. He just never bites anything with it.
>Kamen Rider Core>Another 1>Another Kuuga>Shining Gill AgitoRank them.
>>23839888I mean it seems like it was definitely an Inoue call, but from the little bit we saw in Zeztz her character does seem fun. I'm just not sure how necessary she was to include, let alone be both G6 and Trinity Gil Agito.
>>23839894Shining Gill Agito wins by default just because he's an established character like Kino and the other 3 are literal whos charisma vaccums movie villainsDesign wise Shining is also the most creative but I like how Another Ichigo and its upgrade look
>>23839872Freaky, looks pretty cool though. I don't know why they didn't just keep it as Another Agito instead of Gill Agito though.
>>23839896She feels unnecessary because as far as I can tell people have already forgiven Ryo's actor in Japan so he could have had a major role and actually be creditedBut then again it might be an agency issue since he's black listed from multiple agencies and is currently a cook rather than an actor
>>23839894Core was the first ever fully CGI Rider and a pretty neat concept at the time. Another Kuuga was menacing and Tid was a great villain, but I do wish Another Kuuga was more humanoid and not a CGI monster. Shining Gill Agito is neat because it's basically Another Agito's final form.Another 1 honestly just sucks out of all of them because it's a retread of Core and Another Kuuga, Finis was barely a character either.
>>23839902I think they weren't ready to bring him back into the limelight yet, but he is in the movie and he was given an appearance promoting the Agito museum thingy. So they're definitely testing the waters with him.
>>23839908I saw a post on Twitter of a guy giving the Gills RideWatch to the actor's restaurant, and the comments from Japanese fans seemed supportive of him. Most of them were joking that the power of Gills has returned to the restaurant, while some others joked that considering Gills' usual fate, he shouldn't have done that. The was one English comment saying that overseas fans would get mad, and that led to someone immediately bringing up Gozyu Unicorn though
>>23839896It was Shirakura who ordered a female Rider be made for the film.
Where can I watch the Ex-aid Tricks: Lazer special? It's not in the drive.
>>23839857Would be cool if we got Dairanger and Pai Pai alumni for My-Th since both are chinese themed
>>23839918Can you link the interview? There's multiple of them but none have been translated yet
>>23839912What do you guys think happened to Mild? You think it's just collecting dust in storage somewhere?
>>23839923https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/23823378/#23823700
>>23839920I was only able to find it in this batch https://nyaa.si/view/1476456You can just unselect everything else so that only the Hyper Battle gets downloaded but weird that I cannot find it anywhere else on english
>>23839927Thanks but it doesn't say that Shirakura came up with the idea though since the producer will always be the one to relay the information to the designers
>>23839924I mean, it was underpowered and cheap when it was made, and it's been a few decades since then. Why would it still be in use?
>>23839942Yeah but I'm wondering if it's just collecting dust or they at least dismantled it for parts or something. The idea behind Mild was to have a small squad of them, hence why it was cheap and underpowered. They were meant to be what Riotroopers would be in 555. Riotroopers were reasonably strong. A dozen of them would likely overwhelm Delta.
>>23839933Excite also did that HBV, it's in the big Rider torrent.
>>23839944If we go by Zi-O, they managed to mass produce the original G3 model so there's no reason to use the even weaker Mild model at all now.
>>23839946Maybe it's on display somewhere, as a permanent reminder of the abject failure of the project.
>>23839875What the fuck
>>23839875Theos had a fucking point, these Agito fucks need to die what the hell is that.
>>23839970It's the next step in human evolution
is zeztz really that bad? feels like a decent 8/10 show to me. what am I missing that's making it so bad?
Is the reason Gills died is the same reason Shouichi can't transform? Something deactivated his Seed of Agito? Remember, Ryo was dying throughout most of the show due to his unstable transformation. He was only okay after receiving a Seed of Agito from someone else. So if Shouichi can't transform, that means something's wrong with his Seed, and if that same affliction is affecting Ryo, it means that the previous instability that was killing him would also return.
>>23839977It's okay, but there are a few things holding it back from being great>First half is pretty much a waste of time thanks to the reset>Weak secondary characters>Antagonists like Three, Five and Six barely do anythingIt's fine if you're really invested in Baku's story, though, which a lot of people are
>>23839977People were just whining about the episodic format/slow lot in the first half of the show. And then some fear mongering about how the midgame reveal was just going to lead to a reset to status quo and more no plot, even though the staff had said from the start, the plot would start running midway through. I haven't seen nearly as much negativity lately.
>>23839977Fujimi and Nasuka are Hanto tier worthless, Nem is a plot device and Nox is one of the worst secondaries ever. Take a wild guess why.
I think what's really been holding Kamen Rider back the past decade is the excessive amount of toys. I mean, Kamen Rider was always a heavily toy-driven franchise, but I feel like Reiwa especially has been severely impacted by scheduling issues. Ex-Aid and Build seem to have maintained a better equilibrium in spite of its large number of Riders and forms, but starting from 01, it's like the shows can't even keep up with the toy schedule anymore.
>>23839987I don't think Zeztz has that many toys? It's just Q1 shilling where there's a lot, after that's of just Plasma (+Booster) and Catastrom feat. Orderm
>>23839977Heisei/Reiwa babs cannot fathom a rider show with a main rider and no secondary rider for the majority of the airtime.
>>23840000How do Ultraman fans deal with a show with only one hero...
>>23839977NOT ENOUGH TOOOOOOYSSELL SELL SELLMORE FOOORMS AND MORE RIIIIDERS
I agree on everything except the fact that Nox sucks. Nox is a very cool secondary rider who's doing his own thing and not Baku's lapdog. and now that we disagree on one thing I will never see eye to eye with (you) ever again
>>23840014Nox is better than last year's secondary, Valen at least.
>We'll never see Decade transform into ZeztzI wanna see if he uses the chest belt.
>>23839977The first half aside from a few cool moments is honestly kind of awful and I've seen a lot of nips complain about it too. The cast just isn't very entertaining and honestly annoying like with the useless cops and Nox, the victim of the week stuff was a slog, and the story just didn't really move much until Catastrom came along. The second half though is definitely much better and I genuinely do enjoy watching it now. It's more focused on the characters and driving the plot forward, CODE and the Nightmares finally get expanded upon, Nox finally stops vagueposting and actually becomes a proper ally secondary Rider, and Amano hamming it up as Sieg is pretty nice to see. The cops are still worthless and add absolutely nothing though, I genuinely don't even know why Baku needs them at all. But yeah, overall it's definitely doing a good job course correcting and I look forward to each week. The first half is still arguably a waste of time and makes me sick of Takahashi's writing.
>>23840021Why would he? He'll just have the Decadriver like usual
>>23840014Honestly, I actually really like Kamen Rider Nox's design and the actor plays stoic pretty well. I just think the vagueposting in the first half really ruined it. >>23840020Anon, what is your obsession with forcing this meme
>>23840025It's not a meme when it's true. Valen is a shitty jobber character regardless. He is the Onodera Yusuke of Reiwa.
>>23839977It's an 8/10, it's definitely not a top-tier show or anything but people like to blow things out of proportion in modern internet so they complain a lot but you can apply to that to literally every other piece of mediaGavv is considered a really solid season universally yet it gets the same treatment where you get several people acting that you shouldn't give it any form of praise and that everyone else should dislike it for some reasonYou just need to discern baity rage bait better from proper criticism better, I feel like almost every episode thread for Zeztz is pretty normal with really good criticism it's only here in the general that bait is a constant
>>23840014He's not really doing his own thing, he's just The Lady's lapdog despite whining about it. He's also a retard, a charisma vacuum and he barely has a relationship with Baku despite being his biggest rival on paper and having a major background connection. He's no Kusaka or Kaito.
>>23839987you've post the exact same complaint last year, get a new material
>>23838958> It's another animal seasonWe'll never hear the end of it from furfag rider anon
>>23840029>Shouma goes through the same character arcs and lessons multiple times>the Stomatchs overstaying their welcome because Takebe liked their actors while her and the staff barely tried on developing them> Lakia the most boring and one dimensional tertiary>shitty payoffsGavv did not deserve the praises it got back then and now.
>>23840042I have no idea who you're talking about. Maybe you should stop giving schizos attention
>>23840050Cringe anti-gavvfag.
>>23840027That's cool buddy
>>23840051Ignorance is bliss but I'll tell you to disturb that. There's a furfag who lurks here who likes to draw riders as furfag shit. He was most active during Geats but still shitposts on occasion
>>23838958While there is a Dog Rider, the Wolf lemon mentioned before is supposed to be the second cat (tiger?) Rider.
>>23840021It's part of the suit, so he'll just have it along with the Decadriver on his waist. It's like Amazon having the Gigi Armlet on his arm.
>>23840021>he gets a chest decadriver along with his waist decadriver>TWO>BELTS>NIGGA
When are they gonna do something like Amazons or Black Sun again?
>KRT >Kuuga manga >Zi-O tribute >the final boss for the anniversary movie They really like using this form even though it was used 2 times in the original show
>>23840087I can kinda see why. Ground Form is the most iconic of Agito's forms, and all they needed to do to buff it up was attach the arms of the other two forms. It's not perfect, but it's a pretty convenient form for that purpose.You could probably just recolor it a bit and turn it into a simple yet cool-looking form that way. Maybe create a "Shining Trinity" Form.
So in My-Th's Q1 alone we're getting 7 Riders so far: Rat (My-Th), Cat (Secondary), another Cat/Tiger (Tertiary?), Rabbit, Dog, Snake, and Rooster. If they are doing the Chinese Zodiac motif, that leaves Ox, Dragon, Horse, Goat, Monkey, and Pig. Maybe it'll end up being a proper Ryuki redux with 13 Riders than Gaim or Geats was.
>>23840092y even want that many. it's always a useless clusterfuck
>>23840094I don't think it's a matter of want, if they're going to do a zodiac motif then they're going to have to do the 12 symbols regardless.
>>23840087The form isn't bad but using both weapons at the same time feel impractical.
>>23840101It's fine, he doesn't have to. The weapons are optional. It sort of goes against the point of the form, but it's not like it's mandatory.
>>23838794Headcanon time.I imagine the original case was for Tsukasa pre-memory fragmentation, to have twisted the Heisei worlds and made flawed copies of them. Perhaps to replace the original Riders with ones he could control at the orders of AR Shadowmoon's grooming and teachings.Tsukasa fights someone, perhaps Diend (who thinks that tainting a treasure such as the Heise Riders is not a good idea) or maybe Hongo himself, which leads to Tsukasa being badly wounded and tossed around the Aurora Veil where he is found in Natsumi's world in a combination of Shouma/Shouichi type of situation. The Wataru he sees is his subconscious, as as a kid, Tsukasa adored Kamen Riders but his love was twisted by Dai Shocker. To save (the original) worlds, Decade must destroy all (of the AR) Riders before they replace the original ones.Perhpas this is why, after regaining his memories he becomes depressed and lets Natsumi kill him as Kivaala. Because he is forced to destroy what he loved as a kid, even if they are twisted reflections of the true selves. Even worse still, a he befriended the AR Riders and now he is fated to kill them.
>>23839977It's good but I'd hardly call it one of my favorite shows because it has several flaws that hold it back significantly, even in the second half. There's the entire first half which mostly consisted of meh 2-parters and felt like an even bigger waste of time after the reset, the reset itself also brought its own fair share of issues like needing to speedrun certain character developments to get the plot back on track as soon as possible. The progression of the plot in the second half has also felt pretty off despite it having some really enjoyable episodes, they introduced Sieg out of nowhere and he ended up overshadowing both The Lady and CODE right after the latter had finally been revealed to be evil, but after his introductory 2-parter he's felt less like the main villain of the arc and more like just a side villain, they also spent several episodes highlighting Catastrom's drawbacks only for its "fix" (Orderm) to become irrelevant immediately after its debut, and the way they've been trying to do a serialized story while still keeping a pretty strict 2-parter format has been pretty awkward.I also don't really like most of the cast outside of Baku, Zero and Minami, and Zero was gone for most of Q2 and then sidelined hard upon return until this latest 2-parter. The villains range from bad to just okay, with the worst one (Nox) being the most prominent one by far for half the show and the best one (The Lady) being sidelined hard by the Sieg subplot just as she was becoming more prominent, and the CODE characters feel extremely underutilized so far.The action has also felt like a step down from Reiwa's standard, even though the show's cinematrography is really good.
>>23840094Ryuki already had 13 Riders so there's a precedent
>>23838564>The second is that Inoue didn't write Kuuga and probably didn't really understand Kuuga at all. If anything, I doubt he watched the show.1. Inoue was never head writer for Decade.2. Inoue's writing credits for Kuuga
>>23840128No, the later Dai-Shocker stuff was likely not part of Aikawa's original intentions. Decade being groomed by Shadowmoon to be the Great Leader was probably last minute change for All Riders VS Dai-Shocker.I won't say that there were no Showa influences whatsoever. The Decadriver was clearly designed to resemble the original Typhoon Belts, and Decade's colors were likely in part designed deliberately to be an inversion of Masked Rider 1. But I don't believe that the revelations in All Riders were always meant to be the original explanation for all the mysteries.
>>23840060Most of what he said is true though.
>>23839888I don't get why you think it's a nepotism. Did you think the same for Muez?
>>23840087>>the final boss for the anniversary movieTrinity Gill Agito isn't the final boss, she's an ally.
>>23840156>The new brief was "a woman." Designers typically don't know the transformation actor in advance, but this time he was told upfront that the wearer would be "Aoi Ruriko", allowing him to emphasize feminine elements in the design.This part. It just seems to me like they had the actress planned already and they built the role around her rather than the other way around
So is Ruriko/G6 still alive in the end?
>>23840148>Decade inverted becomes Kamen Rider Mountain Dew
>>23840168Well yeah. Why do you think the Decadriver says>FINAL ATTACKRIDE: DO-THE-DEW-DECADE

The other image.
>>23840178>>23840182>mustacheAn italian rider?
>>23839979Ryo's cellular degeneration was fixed when Mana used her Agito powers to heal him. The reason why he received a Seed of Agito was because Kino mortally wounded him with a Rider Kick to the chest, and the Seed was the only thing that could save his life.I doubt Ryo's powers faded because he's still transformed inside that vat, which I think is connected to the Gill Agitos.
>>23840163>It just seems to me like they had the actress planned already and they built the role around her rather than the other way aroundSeems likely since the character is a gyaru just like the actress herself.
>>23839219This is so zestless. Low energy, bad vocals, bad instrumentals, MOVE! TAKE IT! is a way better insert theme. For a song named Kickstart it does the opposite, it puts me to sleep and doesn't feel like it should be something to give to a final form.
>>23840215>it puts me to sleep>to sleepAnon...
>>23839874I like the mouth but wish the eyes looks bigger or less covered by the horn. Leak said Gill Agito Trinity looks heroic but this still looks like a kaijin.
Trinity GIRL Agito is hot.
Agito Movie reviews from Japanese fanshttps://x.com/komeya_kangan/status/2049306361385844846>Agito: Superpower War. >It was the kind of movie where everyone was thinking, "We're used to Toshiki Inoue and Toei special effects, so it's fine for us, but with this many people in the audience, I wonder if some of them will get angry..." and that would make it okay.>I think someone needs to get angry, and I believe Japan has come to this state in the 25 years since the original Agito series began because no one has spoken up.
>>23839219"They see me as a dark hero, but I'm the real hero". that part felt about right in the lyrics given the design of the helmet.
>>23840225So the main issue is just the shit CGI? I feel like that's expected with Toei
>>23840225lol really? I was under the impression that Inoue's writing was popular in Japan. Why else would he get so much work?
>>23840225https://x.com/Kikuhiko_Suzuki/status/2049342356776972729>"Agito: The Psychic War"The cast of Kamen Rider Agito, celebrating its 25th anniversary, appear on screen. To be honest, that alone makes me feel like I've won.>Just having Makoto Hikawa stand there as G7 easily surpasses a certain level of satisfaction, and he also faithfully carries on the context of a "human hero" that is an extension of G3. He even delivers a Rider Kick perfectly. As a service, it's more than sufficient; in fact, it's quite carefully made.>However, that "carefulness" doesn't quite escape the grammar of Sunday morning and spring movies. The texture of the special effects and the direction are, for better or worse, an extension of television, and don't reach the scale and density of a theatrical film. The structure relies on "the usual vibe" rather than the power of the screen, which relatively diminishes the point of seeing it in a movie theater. If you expect a higher level of quality from the PG12 rating, you'll be disappointed here.>Even more problematic is the "out of place" feeling of the actors' performances. This isn't simply a matter of good or bad acting, but rather a problem with the overall tone design of the work. The serious acting of the actors doesn't mesh with the lighthearted script and direction, so the acting inevitably stands out. The more seriously veteran actors perform, the more the contrast with the lightness of the surroundings amplifies the sense of incongruity. As a result, it's not that the acting is bad, but rather that the acting is being left behind.(1/2)
>>23840233>The story itself suffers from the same issue; the themes are heavy, but the handling is superficial. The plot unfolds as a series of events, and the characters' choices and the accumulation of their conflicts are weak, resulting in a lack of dramatic persuasiveness. No matter how cool the G7 are, if the underlying human drama is shallow, it inevitably comes across as just a collection of flashy scenes. The weight of ethics and humanity that quietly builds up in the original Agito is largely relegated to the background this time around.>Nevertheless, the sheer power of their presence on screen is immense. The persuasiveness of the actors reprising their roles, the weight of the time elapsed from G3 to G7, and their universal appeal as heroes—these are undoubtedly the core of this film, and for fans, their value is irresistible.>In conclusion, this film is "well-made, but doesn't go far enough." It never deviates from the format of a Japan-North Korea spring film, providing maximum satisfaction within that framework, but without attempting any evolution or reinterpretation as a film. That's why it's enjoyable without any worries, but at the same time, it doesn't leave a strong impression. The new axis of the G7 is visible, but it hasn't yet answered the question of how far it will go beyond that. That's the impression I'm left with.(2/2)
>>23840232He's good at meeting deadlines. In any professional setting, just doing that puts you at a huge advantage. Additionally, he's made friends with a lot of his coworkers. As far as I know, they all speak highly of him.
>>23840233>>23840234So it doesn't feel enough like the grand movie it shows itself as in trailers?
>>23840237The issue likely lies in the fact that it's a sequel to a family show that's being made 25 years after its conclusion for an audience that has long since grown up. If it's a typical Rider film made for children and families, there wouldn't be an issue, but this movie is made with the expectation that the majority of its audience will be people who watched the original Agito as children. In other words, adults in their late 20s and 30s. So I'd imagine there's a sense of incongruity, in which the writing fails to appropriately account for the age of its main target audience. The reason the special effects are also criticized is in part due to that reason. The usual TV-level special effects are fine for a children's show, but you can't really expect the adult audience to be particularly impressed by SFX of that caliber. I don't think it's necessarily an issue of the movie not being gritty enough. Rather, the original Masked Rider Agito was written to be more or less understandable by younger viewers, meaning it uses some relatively easy grammar that wouldn't normally be as prevalent in an adult-oriented show or film. Carrying that exact same grammar into a film like this probably makes the audience feel like they're being talked down on.In other words, the language and SFX used in the film should have been appropriately updated to suit the target audience of adults.
>>23840239I guess it would've been more palatable if it was just a standard V-Cinema
>>23840239Guess they just wanted a wide net for more merch sales even if the main audience of the movie was going to be people that watched Agito originally and are now 20+ years older. Honestly it sounds like it was originally a V-Cinema but decided to become a "real" film instead and didn't update itself enough for that space.
>>23840243>>23840244The issue likely wouldn't have been as been if it were a Den-O, Kiva or even Decade movie. For those films, even if they were mainly made for old fan, the general tone of the original shows coupled with the overall nature of the the source material and characters would mean that they'd still ultimately probably be family films in the end. Like you wouldn't expect Momotaros or Decade to be in a film primarily for adults, right? Even if it were Kuuga, there are ways around it, as Godai will always be first and foremost a "children's hero" character, so you wouldn't make a movie about him for just adults anyway.But Agito is part police drama, part murder mystery. It was a show that originally dealt with concepts usually reserved for adult audiences, merely "downgraded" to a level that would be palatable for youngsters. Carrying the exact same tone as the original show when you know almost the entire audience of the movie is gonna consist of adults is kinda weird. Like I said, it didn't have to be super "mature" or "gritty", but making an Agito film 25 years after the fact with this much CGI was a bad call. They should have made something a little more grounded, like The First or Shin. There definitely shouldn't have been a giant CGI monster, and G7 shouldn't use so much CGI to transform. And you can keep the overall subject matter of the film, just slightly alter the language a bit with the understanding that most of the people watching are gonna be in their 30s.
>>23840244>Honestly it sounds like it was originally a V-Cinema but decided to become a "real" filmBecause that's literally what happened, Shirakura and Tsukada admits it on interview.
>>23840237The writing is shallow compared to the original show's and the tone is all over the place.
>>23840268Maybe add more silver and gold and it would look pretty good.
>ruined yet another anniversary stuffLord shirakura strikes again

https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2451925/full/>Director Yuichi Fukuda Reveals by Name the Actor He Has "Supported for Years"—"I Even Bought Him a Washing Machine">The person in question turned out to be Junki Tozuka. Director Yuichi Fukuda had posted on his X (formerly Twitter), “We were filming in Kobe, and his manager messaged me, ‘Since it’s a Fukuda production, I’ll send him by himself! Please treat him to something delicious!’ Then right after that, I got another message saying, ‘Fukuda-san! Since we’re in Kobe, you’ll treat me to the best Kobe beef, right?!’ …Well, I did treat him, but isn’t that a bit strange!?” That story also got a lot of laughs during the stage greeting that day.>Later, while talking about his personal rules, Tozuka said with a smile, “‘Never become a guarantor.’ No matter how much I’m treated, I don’t borrow money from people. But I do love being treated.” Fukuda jokingly responded, “Isn’t it about time you treated me for once (laughs)? I’ve basically been supporting you this whole time. I even bought you a washing machine—I’ve never made you pay a single yen.” As the audience reacted in surprise, Tozuka playfully chimed in, “Pretty amazing, right? (laughs)”Shunpei's actor has a Sugar Daddy.
>>23840291>never watch post show stuffBut some of it is good, like RealXTime or the post-show W, Gaim, Ghost, Ex-Aid and Saber V-Cinemas.
Those who look backwards in time will become prey to Shirakura's bad dream.
>>23840297I mean REALxTIME was technically Zero-One's summer movie even though it didn't release in summer because of covid.
>>23840296Surely there are younger, more desperate twinks out there who would sell their hole for less.
>>23840303COVID also changed it so that the story took place after the show and not during it, so it still counts.
>>23840297They're exceptions to the norm. A majority of them are garbage and not worth watching, sometimes even ruining the ending already made by the TV shows. A couple decent V-Cinemas don't change that

>>23840317Please understand, police budgets aren't infinite.
To this day, I don't entirely understand what Rider Time Decade/Zi-O was supposed to be about. The only conclusion I can come to is that the purpose was to give Decade a sad and meaningless death, and I can see the logic in that. Decade's existence was pretty meaningless. But I don't get what the seven Sougos shit was about. Is it a metaphor? A metaphor for what? I wouldn't even care that much but I can't really glean any meaningful narrative purpose in doing that.
Let's work on that Kiva anniversary now
>>23840343>"""Kinoue""" deliberately ignores the TV finale in favour of making shit up again
>>23840350To be fair, there is some cool lore potential in the Kiva world, as teased in the Kiva movie.
>>23840351>He thinks Inoue of all people cares about lore
What are your thoughts on belt attachments for super forms? I think the Arcle and Alter Ring's attachments were fine, but most of them kinda suck.
>>23840457Pretty much the same thought, belt attachments are kinda cool but they feel more uncreative than progressing the toyline through the gimmick itemsSo them overusing belt attachments this much as of late kinda sucks since it doesn't even have the advantage the Arcle and Alter had, which iwas not making the belt feel bulky

In the end Bandai is accepting refunds for the Amazing Gummy S.H. Figuarts, no news of a reissue yet https://x.com/atushiiharara/status/2049071828069646629?s=20
>>23840237It never looked any better than a V-Cinema.
>>23839219Zeztz’s theming is so terrible.
>>23840514Does Bandai just not have to budget to make high end figuarts now?
>>23840239I've even said when the trailer came out that it seemed to have goofy Inoue mannerisms (ping pong ball lady) and the shot with the floating bodies looked really cheap. The other shots in the trailer did look nice though, but I didn't expect much from Inoue to make a proper serious movie.
>>23840182>>23840178finally, an actual G3 buckle with lightsI still can't believe they sold G3 buckle as an electronics-less plastic
>>23840538It literally has a bigger runtime and budget than any V-Cinema that preceded it
>>23840287I kind of assume the Agito movie was going to be good just off the fact Agito wasn't going to be in it. I heard nips saying that Tendo might be dead in the Kabuto movie and a worm replaces him
>>23840575>I heard nips saying that Tendo might be dead in the Kabuto movie and a worm replaces himDo you believe everything that people make up?
>>23840287Blade wins once again
>>23840575>Agito wasn't going to be in it Shoichi is there and transforms in the movie, he just has one fight, they really should still have named the movie G3 even though the production escalated to the scale of a full film>I heard nips saying that Tendo might be dead in the Kabuto movie and a worm replaces himThat's retarded, Tendou won't get much screentime but they're not going to kill him, they already show Kabuto in the movie trailer fighting alongside Gattack, but ultimately Atlas who we don't know the identity of and is almost definetely not Tendou will be taking much of the screen time
>>23840577At this point would you honestly think that wouldn't happen? It's like having an Agito movie without Agito, that would never happen
>>23840583It does have Agito you retard he's just stuck in Ground form and while Yonemura isn't good at making movies he doesn't seem like the guy that would kill of Tendou for shit and giggles unlike Inoue or Mouri
>>23840579And Hibiki, too.
>>23840585Someone's getting ass mad. Just accept it might happen
>>23840588How so? An onsen collaboration without a story isn't winningI'm hoping that it gets an exhibition later to at least show some of the scrapped ideas>>23840589Says the anon that's looking for reasons to get ass mad
一丈
>>23840594All I did was point out that's what Nips are saying. The first thing you did was get ass mad >>23840577
>>23840579What's up with the stages being so good, the Zangetsu one even has Mouri in it yet it turned out goodDid Jin really influence that much? >>23840599I'm not that anon and he didn't even get mad, I'm not mad about the Kabuto thing either I'm just mad that you keep insisting that Shoichi doesn't transform which is straight up wrong
>>23839857I'm surprised that Michiko Yokote has never been hired for Rider and it sucks that she'll probably never will
>>23840612You can't just throw in a random nip's name and expect a bunch of sweaty brown neckbeards to know who you're talking about
>>23840620why are you ousting yourself like that?
>>23840612It's because Tsukada doesn't rehire people for variety sake with the exception of Kiramager where he was desperate, then Hikasa got promoted and Utsunomiya started only hiring Komura until he got demoted So unless a Toei producer is a Puniru fan she's not getting rehired for toku
>>23840599Not sure why you keep repeating ass mad like you're winning an argument. Nips saying that is the equivalent of saying this >>23840583. And even then, it's still wrong because Shouichi does transform in the end, in fact we've known that he will for a while now and retards like you still parrot it. If you're going to bring up what the "nips are saying" then you might as well bring up every reddit theory that people come up with because it would be the same thing. But keep doomposting about Kabuto's anniversary movie I guess.
>>23840489Music video is just Kamen Rider flavoured Okkusenman. It's not even a particularly good song from Orange Range.
>>23840575>Agito wasn't going to be in itHe is in it. Even Gills's actor is in it.>I heard nips saying that Tendo might be dead in the Kabuto movie and a worm replaces himYeah it's pretty common for people to come up with theories, anon. Not sure how you can find what nips are saying but still don't know that Agito is in the movie. Pretty sure nips have talked about that quite a bit too.
>>23840296I kept hearing even Junsei Motojima (Houtaro from Gotchard) was a sex offender. That was actually Tozuka? Or is it completely different news?
>>23840629Bringing up what nips are saying makes sense to get a general idea of what the main consumers are thinking about current Rider projectsThat anon is simply extremely retarded because he's treating an opinion of a rando as a fact and ignoring Yonemura's writing style
>>23840232Popular isn't exactly the right word, more like infamous. He's a meme just as he is here. Don't get it wrong, stuff he made like Jetman, Agito, Faiz, Donbros etc. are considered incredibly popular but it's clear that recently he's kind of a joke writer with all the novels, anniversary specials, and new works he's made with Donbros being an exception but that was just full on Inoue wackiness from the start. Shirakura and Inoue are just too dangerous of a combo because they just let Inoue do whatever he wants and treats it like a gold standard.
>>23840636I absolutely agree with you, anon. That second point you made was why I responded to that anon asking if he just believes everything he sees, because he definitely thought that was legit rather than the nips just theorizing and doomposting just like us.
>>23840636>>23840629>I heard nips saying that Tendo might>mightJesus, you guys are retarded. Not once did I say thats 100% going to happen. Actually the first thing you dumb fucks did was assume I believed that when all I did was repeat what nips are saying
>>23840647>definitely thought that was legitMan, I wish I was this retarded because nobody said it was
>>23840648Someone's getting ass mad
>>23840635Different news, Junsei's costar in his BL drama is a sex offender but Junsei seems still publicly being friends with him despite the controversy.
>>23840653>>23840647>>23840643Samefagging and Someone's getting ass mad
>>23840655Okay, that just means guilt by association, and it just tarnished his reputation a bit (which is saying much in Japanese publicity compared to what happens if he were from outside East Asia).
>I heard nips saying that Tendo might be dead>YOU DEFINITELY THINK THAT'S REAL
I didn't we literally have a rider movie where the main rider was dead the whole movie?
>>23840663Anon, give it a rest. We get it.
>>23840668OOO? Yeah, and people went and admitted this is bullshit, and considered the movie non-canon.If there is one Rider that I prefer should die in the end to conclude his story, that has to be Zero-One. Fumiya Takahashi is already a high profile celebrity on par with Takeru Satoh or Sota Fukushi, and with how almost every one of his allies dead or traumatized over every single side story involving the series, there's no other choice left for Aruto's fate but to die, but not without a motivation to kill him in the end.
>>23840661Well, he's still getting roles so maybe Japan doesn't care about guilt by association as much
>>23840679That's dark and dumb. You don't kill off your main character just because he's too big to come back. And they've found dumber ways to bring dead characters back to life. Like Kino.
>>23840254I guess this is exactly how I felt watching the clips of G7 equip and Hikawa fighting in the prison, there's something about the direction and music felt like something more of "high tech fantasy" Rider show. Yes, I know the music composer is still the same guy (Sahashi), but he did lots of high tech-themed toku musics too like Den-O.
>>23840679>Zero-OneReally, because I literally think Ace should have died for good at the end
>>23840679That comes to mind the only protagonist that comes to mind where a death wouldn't feel that forced is Hibiki due to the whole mentor/apprentice dynamicObviously I would have preferred Philip to have died and would have been fine with Takumi dying but since they already walked back on that there really isn't any scenario where those two dying would make proper sense
>>23840679You want Aruto to die because his actor is popular...? How is it Aruto's fate to die just because Fuwa (who's fate is still kinda ambiguous) and MJBR (even though Horobi is fine in Outsiders) are dead? What the fuck
In no particular order:>Orderm got a grand total of two brief fights before the final form debut>Nox Wolf Shadow has been seen exactly once since its debut, which happened weeks after the toy came out>Lord Three was used exactly once in a brief fight>Lords Five and Six are MIA after only being seen a couple of times each with both characters missing from the story for several episodes, Lord Five especially >several of Zeztz's basic forms were only used once before never being seen again>Nox Knight barely got any time to do anything before Nox got his Rider form>Booster was only used twice and jobbed in one of those appearances >the show seems to be allergic to letting characters who aren't Baku transform in general
>>23840725Haha... that's our Yanaka for you
