Post your first impressions on Kamen Rider Mugen.
>>23867648>>23867651he's called mugen aka bad dream?
>>23867654He's actually NOX's cousin, Kumon Shuma lol
>>23867651cool pants
>>23867648>>23867651Mugen 35 minutes ago...
Am I getting this right about My-Th? >Belt can be worn either on the waist or the chest, it's speculated this is how the belt recognize the user>Henshin items are eggs, each with a cardinal point, each egg is seemingly shared between riders>The egg opens up to reveal the footprints of 2 animals>The belt can open up like a flower to reveal slots to insert weapon add-ons that work similar to the ones from Geats >The riders look fairly futuristic>It's speculated that the theme is Chinese zodiac + fables, where it's 12 Riders based on the chinese zodiac paired with another 12 riders based on a rivalry where the animal is featured>Main Rider is a mouse with a cheese gun that wears his belt on his chest>The secondary rider is a cat Rider that wears his belt on his waist, believed to be based on the cat the mouse betrays on the zodiac legend, he'll serve as the show's deutoragonist and sworn rival of the mouse protagonist>There's a second cat rider that the leakers think has a different belt, people think rather than being another cat he's a tiger instead>There's a female wolf rider with a bone gun that wears a belt on the chest, the leaker believes her counterpart is a sheep Rider, this would mean they're based on the "The Wolf and the Lamb" fable or "The Wolf in Sheep Clothing" fable>The wolf Rider has a similar undersuit to the cat, people believe that zodiac riders will get one undersuit while rivals have another undersuit and that belt position doesn't represent which kind of rider they are>There's a rabbit Rider with long ears and carrot sword, his rival is a turtle>There's a snake rider with a sickle whose rival is a Mongoose>Horse Rider whose rival is a Deer>Dragon Rider whose rival is something special, people speculate it's either a Phoenix due to their duality in chinese culture or that it's a special case where both riders are from the Zodiac and it's a Tiger due to their rivalry in Chinese and Japanese culture(1/2)
>>23867696>Owl rider who the leakers think is alone without a rival>Leaker said he saw a Rooster feet pattern in an egg implying there's a Rooster rider but he hasn't seen it yet, people believe the Rooster is the Owl's rival due to both being birds that represent day and night respectively>Head producer is Naomi Takebe, if this began production immediately after the Agito movie chances are that Satoshi Fujita will be the action director(2/2)
It's time.
>>23867651another clown suit
>>23867651Let's see how Yanaka does movies, there's nothing grabbing me so far but Takahashi and Kami usually make great movies, to this day the only Takahashi movies I legitimately hated were the irredeemable Zero-One V-Cinemas
>nemuSo, it's a dream.
So they have to sleep at the same time so that Baku can protect them from CODE?
>>23867721obviously did you think it was real life when you saw the preview?
>>23867717The Geats and Ex-Aid summer movies were nothing burgers
He can still get premonitions?
People are forgetting Baku?
>>23867738They were fun, them and the first 2 Ex-Aid V-Cinemas not being amazing doesn't suddenly make them below average
>>23867744Basically a dream illusion created by the Somnia Capsem where everyone forgets everything related to the Nightmares
>>23867696>>23867700I just want to understand if the zodiac pairs are fighting each other or teaming up to fight the rest. Can My-Th team up with the Wolf rider to defeat the Cat and Sheep riders, or do My-Th and cat have to work together?
Everyone remembers Nem as a 2D character now it seems
>>23867754We don't even know if My-Th is just the mouse or if mouse and the cat are My-Th in a Revice-esque situationAll we know is that at least the mouse and the cat are rivals against each other but we don't know about the rest
Maybe controversial, but...3D >>>>>>>> 2D
weird
My KRAF Nox Knight coincidentally came in today. Too bad his suit is dead and we're stuck with the other losers.
>>23867753Doing this the episode after Nightmares lead the police to re open Black Cases division is so funny.
>>23867763I'd have reacted the same if it was a Rider
>CODE's secret master plan 2Ds your 3D waifuwtf i love code now
>>23867696>another chest belt>for main RiderWhy?
I think Baku should destroy CODE and immediately stop the activities of all the tools they call "Agents".
>>23867776Why not?
I really, really like Six/Luminous's suit actress
>>23867776Wouldn't be surprised if rat came from the same brainstorming session as Revice and Zeztz.
Just enjoy the dream BBQ, Six-chan...
5 is going rape those otaku
>>23867784But they were each thought up by different people in different sessions years apart?
Preemptive F
Rita is kill
she die
Damn that's sad.
Imagine getting killed twice.
So we're doing a 3rd loop or the next episode will reveal this was jape by ExDream?
Fighting nightmares to protect humanity, huh?
>Dogu janaiDamnit TakahashiAlso Jesus 3 really hates Kureha if he can rewrite people's minds and erase memories but preferred to straight up kill her instead
>>23867808Takahashi's really making Three seem like a total bastard
DAWN IS BACKONE, ONE WHOLE EPISODE
I thought they'd wait to kill CODE to have Punish revive Sieg
Looks like time may have restarted again if Sieg is back?
BANKSY
>>238678053 is clearly a bastard who doesn't believe in that shit.
>>23867813Is this a new mandate by Toei? Similar thing happened to GozyuTyranno in Gozyuger
Is it a restart from Baku or NOx actually intervened?
>>23867756I feel like this could be a concept for a heroine. V tuber heroine who's literally a digital person. A little similar to Poppy but it's not like heroines are generally unique
Post your farewell words to Kureha.
>>23867826It was good seeing Yuzuki again
https://twitter.com/zeztz7toei/status/2055808182933729766Another flower photo.
>>23867826I hope she dances in as many office buildings as she wants
>>23867826My tertiary...
>>23867826Really just a glorified cameo that accomplished nothing. Suck it, female tertiary rider fags.
>>23867808>Also Takahashi really hates KurehaFtfy>if he can rewrite people's minds and erase memories but preferred to straight up kill her insteadCan he? Didn't Nox steal Erase before the events of the show? And Code:Somnia doesn't seem to work on people with dream powers.
She's the first main cast member to get flowers in Zeztz right?
yuzukifags btfo
https://twitter.com/toeiHERO_movie/status/2055808015459336648New 15 sec video.
Bike decoloration/degradation
>>23867826Kind of a waste of a character, but it was nice having her while it lasted.She's dancing in offices in heaven now...
>>23867826>>23867830>>23867836SIX GOT SHAFTED
>>23867831Her dancing and singing in that ad > her entire stunt in Zeztz.
>>23867836>main cast memberlol, lmao even
>>23867849I'm missing context. What ad is this?
>>23867826She was fun when she was on-screen but I feel they should have done more with the dynamic between her and Nasuka to make Nasuka more integrated into the story
>>23867850Thanks doc
>>23867852https://x.com/h_yuzuki_1027/status/2050380697974800874It aired during one SHT not too long ago
>>23867826I'm not a fan of her actress, but still, what a fucking waste of a character. If the actress is too busy to be in the show then maybe don't hire her in the first place.Also Nasuka's chances of doing something, anything important are almost fucking null now.
>>23867852Past couple weeks her actress has stared in an ad for IIRC some kind of moving service. She sang and danced like a stage show in it.
How was the 35th case?
>>23867856It was weird because in the first few episodes she appeared in it did feel like they were going to do just that but then she just became a glorified goon and now is dead without much impact in the story. Yuzuki was busy during the filming of those episodes so I wonder if that impacted the writing of her character but overall Kureha was kind of a wet fart.
>>23867851She's credited as a recurrent cast member, that doesn't prevent them from being useless
>>23867863Kureha is dead, Zeztz is dropped.
>>23867813>>23867814>>23867826It’s hilariously bad writing to me that Kureha gets killed twice for no good reason but Sieg, a character who had a big farewell episode LAST WEEK just returns casually like it was nothing.
>>23867851She is one, she might've appeared as much as a guest character, but she's in the main cast list.
So is it another loop? Based on the preview Nox bought Baku time to activate Exdream
>>23867863Probably one of the worst episodes yet
>>23867858>>23867861She's a theater kid being made to do cool characters. Low key they should cast her as an over the top villain as an apology for the typecast
The visual clip.
>>23867870I mean Sieg's alive, so seems most likely
>>23867842Tachibana-san is experienced with the yellowing...
>>23867876They should get her a role where she gets to goof off like the goofball she is. Kureha was just her playing Rita but without the autism.
>>23867864I'd guess that'll make sense, I remember while watching Saber how it felt like the cast straight up forgot Sophia existed then it got revealed that the actress was occupied with something else during filming causing her to dissappear from long stretches of time and the staff turning her into Calibur as a compromise
>>23867876God she'd be amazing as a lead villain
>>23867863>die in dream>explode into a blob of strawberry yogurt in real life
The two otaku
>>23867877Looks like a generic summer movie
>>23867864everyone in this show sans baku is a wet fartsay what you will about takashi's other shows, they had these larger than life characters even if they ended up being retardedalmost everyone in zeztz is boring and yawn-inducing
>>23867863I thought it was just okay (mainly dragged down by Nem and the cops doing nothing as usual) until they killed Kureha off. Her death fell flat because she was barely in the show as she got benched twice in a row before they decided to kill her off right when she returned. Her story potential with Nasuka has been completely wasted now.Also they randonly turned Five into a generic goon even though he was shown to care about Kureha in the previous episodes.Bad episode, honestly.
>>23867863It was just kinda OK
>>23867896Kureha's treatment screams that her actress was doing other things and she needed to be written off because she's too busy.
I would just like to remind everyone that with Sieg back, within 35 episodes Baku has failed to defeat A SINGLE villain. Making him the biggest failure in Kamen Rider history in terms of permanently ending major threats.
>>23867895You know you can stop watching whenever you want instead of constantly announcing how bored you are, right?
>>23867895Pure facts
>>23867895>>23867904samefag?
This is just Matrix territory huh
>>23867915Takahashi trooning out when
>>23867881At least in Saber they only used one excuse, her kidnapping, to not have her appear instead of several in a row like they did with Kureha. And they did mention Sophia from time to time after she went missing, they just had no leads on where to find her.
>>23867915specifically Matrix Revolutions AKA the bad one
>Putotyra Combo>Has two finishers>Finisher 1: Freezes the enemy, turns around and sticks his ass out. A giant CG tails swings and shatters the frozen enemy.>Finisher 2: Shoots a CG beam from his tiny glittery axe cannonThese are the worst finishers a final form has ever had.
>>23867870>>23867878If it was another loop, wouldn't Kureha be alive again?
>>23867922>they only used one excuseModern rider doesn't even bother anymore, we had an entire arc where the Stomach family did nothing last year for no good reason. They just needed Suga to take over for an arc and didn't even bother giving an excuse why they wouldn't get involved or take advantage of the situation. Or fucking Jeeph dissapearing for months until returning with a wife.
Lol im not even mad. Kureha wasnt in the OP. 5 is next.
>>23867932Maybe getting yogurt'd makes you not even survive loops?
>>23867936I was a 5 fan until they ruined him this episode so now I'm fine with him dying. He's got it worse, he got character assasination and now will be put down like a sick dog.
>>23867904No until [next rider season] starts I have to reiterate how much [current rider season] sucks. I can only give it credit once it has finished airing and I'm hating on the next new thing.
The words of Yuzuki.https://twitter.com/h_yuzuki_1027/status/2055810429239324775"Following the Sentai series, I was able to be involved in the world of Kamen Rider as well, and it was truly a delightful and invaluable experience.To everyone who supported me, thank you so much!See you again somewhere!"
>>23867945I'll miss her again...
>>23867945Next time i see her will be in bedWith me
>>23867922Didn't Blades uncharacteristically spend like 2 episodes to even acknowledge she was kidnapped?>>23867933In that case wasn't it because it was a last minute change? I don't feel like this is a "modern Rider" issue just that Takahashi and Komura are bad at adapting to last minute changes compared to Inoue or Kobayashi
We are entering Geats Q4 level of bad here people.
Gotchard is better than Zeztz.
>>23867955>>23867952Not even close
>>23867958Come back in the next couple episodes when Baku is chilling with the two mass murderers as their buddies and tell me it's not.
>>23867958Don't reply to extremely obvious bait, Zeztz is weak but not as weak as those two (at least not yet) but just like how it happened back with those people push things to the extreme to pretend "current show is the worst thing ever"
Yo.
>>23867943why can't you watch something else instead of bumping the thread of something you hate?when you hate something isn't it better to just not give attention to it?
>>23867973I already didn't like the last episode that much but this makes it even worse than it already was, as the main goal of it doesn't even matter anymore.
>>23867973BANANA-SAN
>>23867973Sonuvabitch.
Yeah this is the first episode so far where I’m genuinely disappointed with the decisions. Kureha is one of the most interesting characters and could’ve easily had a fun storyline with the cops, but Takahashi for some reason is incapable of fleshing out the side cast more. I like Baku a lot, but there’s no point of side characters being forced into the plot so heavily if they really don’t even do anything. Even Wizard’s side cast felt more involved.
Nox's cousin
>>23867881Sophia is the "oyasan" type character of the show, basically like Zero now, this type of character aren't expected to appear much or leave their main location (homebase or the house where the main cast hanging out) because they usually portrayed by a much senior actors who still doing other dramas at the same time.
>>23867973Grodie?
>>23867973Principal? Aren't pajamas against the school's dress code?
>>23867986>Kureha is one of the most interesting charactersLol no. But yeah this is the first episode I legitimately didn't like because it makes the cops even less connected to the story.
>>23867973yay he's back :3
>Ruins everything Nothing personal, kid
Speaking in riddles run in the family blood.
>>23867991I personally don’t know who would be more interesting than her, but the bar is admittedly abysmally low.
>Episode airs JP>Retard Redditor fags have to commentary spam thread and spoil the entire episode AS It's airingThis shit should be bannablestart fucking making the episode thread and talk there faggots
>>23867991They had just opened back the Black Case agency as the world became aware of the Nightmares, and the very next episode Three just erases memories of them from the world. It's like they are intentionally fucking with the audience as they tease the side cast finally becoming important, only to slam the door in their faces.
>>23868000newfag...
>>23867987>Baku, team up with me and help me teach my faggot cousin a lesson
>>23867993He hasn't ruined everything though? The hate against this guy feels severely overblown aside from not wanting him to return as a writer because man they really shouldn't hire the same writer so soon, it's as if they learnt nothing from when Sentai nearly died in the early 90s
>>23867987>guy from boy bandHis acting is gonna be horrific, anons will be sending Hotarou apology letters.
https://twitter.com/toeiHERO_movie/status/2055775298336051577New message.
Could Garren beat Dawn?
>>23867951>Didn't Blades uncharacteristically spend like 2 episodes to even acknowledge she was kidnapped?The characters repeatedly acknowledged she went missing. They asked where she was during the final arc of Q1, Q2 starts out with them noting she's still missing while Reika gets appointed as their new commander, Rintaro gets sad because he wishes Sophia was handling the whole Touma situation instead of Reika, Daishinji accuses the Megid of kidnapping her but Storious says he wasn't even aware that she was missing, then we get a couple of scenes of Sophia tied to a chair in a hidden room, then after Reika invades the Northern Base Daishinji acknowledges that she only managed to do so because Sophia wasn't there to keep the magic barrier up, and then Rintaro decides he will stay in Logos for a bit just so he can find out where Reika's keeping Sophia before Master Logos decides to go full mask off and Kento finally saves her. I probably missed a few more scenes, but that's all I remember right now.
>>23868007>implying people would ever forgive Houtarou's O__O here
>>23868007But Houtaro's actor isn't from a boy band? And we had boyband summer movie villains in Gavv and Zi-O act just fine?
>>23868016>But Houtaro's actor isn't from a boy band?Are you fucking illiterate, you retard?
>>23868006>severely overblownHe has made writing mistakes worse than other writers who have gotten assblasted for less. And that they keep bringing him back makes him responsible for almost half of all Reiwa content where he has done the exact same mistakes over and over again. It's always the same thing with him, he starts out with a good idea that he slowly ruins as the show goes on with the cheapest hack tricks known to man. His ass is entirely covered by having a great team outside of his writing to make his shit look semi decent.
Nem-chan's 2D form.
>>23868006Well they didn't. Sentai is dead LOL.
>>23868022
>>23868019That he answers with questions is a sign that he's from twitter, so yes, he is illiterate.
>>23868022kissu
>>23868013Yes, unless the writer is Takahashi.
>>23868015I mean I did he improved in the second half considerably and the guy has become a great actor with multiple roles since. The writing for him being bad has nothing to do with his acting. Rinne is the one I never forgave because I never noticed any notable improvement, she pretty much just cannot do stone faced characters and should just stick to playing either happy Go lucky or psychotic characters which she plays both surprisingly well.
>>23868021He got away with it because his shows were filled with spectacle that drew viewers attention away from retarded plot and character writing choices. But Zeztz is much more understated in style, so his weaknesses are made much more glaring without the hype moments to draw attention away from them.
>>23868022is it legal to fap to this one since it's not the actress
>>23867991She's interesting on paper, had a lot of story potential since she was a journalist that investigated Black Cases, a sympathetic Agent and Nasuka's former best friend, but they kept wasting said potential.
>>23868022Seems AI generated
>>23868035A DRAWING OF WHAT
>>23868021>other writers who have gotten assblasted for lessSuch as? As far as I can tell the only writer that has been more unfairly assblasted than Takahashi is Uchida who we still don't fully know if he can make a good writer, Akiko Inoue who's only slightly worse than Takahashi and Komura and Fukuda by people that know nothing about how these shows are made
>>23868006The only guys who beat him in terms of frustrating writing decisions are Kinoshita and Inoue on a bad day.
>cast yuzuki>she becomes too busy for riderbro
>>23868041out of ten!
>>23868036Not saying Takahashi is perfect but he usually can develop multiple characters in his previous shows. This feels like Yanaka told him to limit the development to just the titular character.
>>23868021Eh, both Zero-One and Geats' issues were more about him being unable to adapt to behind the scenes production changes. Which, yeah, it's a flaw, but it's not inherent to his story style. Zeztz has gotten a more positive reception as the show has advanced in comparison. And Ex-Aid although peaking around the middle still was better than the start too later on.
>>23868041what if the model for the drawing wasn't maho
>>23868046>too busyunless she has some announced dramas what does she even do beside that recent dancing commercial
>>23868046It's funny too because they actually held auditions for the character and one of the main reason they casted Yuzuki was because she could play basketball well even though the basketball shit didn't matter at all past Kureha's introductory 2-parter.
If Chalice is meant to be the Mantis Undead, why is his armor very clearly made out of metal? Hos chestpiece has bolts on it.
>>23868053Maho turns 18 this October anyway
>>23868044Uchida, Inoue and Kinoshita, are all writers that have done the same mistakes as Takahashi>wasting their good characters and giving spotlight to bad ones>creating contrived reasons for characters to fight each other>redeem assholes rather easily and undermine any interesting aspect to their rehabilitation by just having every other character just accept them>death doesn't matterThe difference is Takahashi has been given main control 4 shows while the others didn't, so I don't see why he gets to be this golden goose the company keeps going back when he is as bad as all these other writers people condemn as the worst. The shit he's pulling with Zeztz and getting praise for is the same type of shit I've seen Reiwa shows get dragged to the mud and back for.
>>23868050My thoughts exactly, you can feel Producer-san's strings being tighter on ZEZTZ compared to any other Takahashi-written season.
>>23868045Anon Takahashi revived the Lupin III franchise and didn't lead 3 studios to bankruptcy and cost the career of a producer like KinoshitaTakahashi isn't a great writer but by god he's nowhere near as bad as KinoshitaAlso idk I feel like Inoue is better because even when he makes frustrating decisions I feel he handles the character focus far better than Takahashi, I feel Inoue is at his worst when he does something that isn't kodomo because usually that causes him to go off the rails in a bad way
>>23868054She was in a few plays in the second half of 2025, and played a supporting role in a movie around that time, too.
>>23868059Except that people don't hate Inoue as much, Kinoshita has done far, far worse than that and Uchida was screwed by the producerTakahashi was also screwed by producers in Geats and Zero-One only not as badly as Uchida
>>23868050>>23868060I'm not going through this shit again. Every time a Takahashi show fucks up (which is every time) people blame the producers. I can only let that go with Zero-One due to the situation happening in the world at the moment, I do not give that same lienency in any of his other shows, as these mistakes are more common in his work than others. At some point you have to stop pointing fingers and just admit the guy's a bad writer. Many of these producers have worked with other writers for better shows, they can be partly to blame, but not the main reason we keep getting into this situation every 3 years.
>>23868060>producer-san's pandering to what he thinks americans will like ruined zeztz
>>23868034>without the hype momentsI have a feeling we are watching different shows
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a49BIjwn1gQ
>>23868066What about Zeztz is american? Not a single plot line or character arc is something exclusive to americans. If it pandered to americans the female rider would have actually mattered and not gotten killed twice like a worthless chess piece. All of it is the same type of story we have seen in Kamen Rider before, even the agent angle is not that reminiscent of american or british spy films and is just another Takahashi shady corporation. You can argue Ex-Aid is more american than Zeztz.
has Inoue ever talked about the original plans he had for Saya's character if her actress hadn't quit right as she was introduced?
>>23868064Anon you know jack shit about how these shows are made and it shows, Covid barely caused any of the show's problems if anything it helped improve the show, Zero-One was screwed by the producer having a fuckload of pressure that caused him to cause the whole job arc, the only major problems that were Takahashi's fault were Fuwa getting shafted and the endingWith Geats the producer caused the 3rd quarter to stall which is why you suddenly have Neon and Keiwa becoming retarded then the last quarter rushing their arcs, the problems with Geats that were Takahashi's fault were Buffa's nonsensical redemption and the show having way too many villains causing one to not care for any of themThat said for Zeztz we've yet to know who's to blame, so far interviews make it seem like it's the fault of both
Episode thread:>>23868074
>>23868064Zero-One already went bad when the job arc started, that was far before the Covid restrictions.
>>23868059Inoue really doesn't seem to be easy to work with for most producers considering his blatant disregard for toys and he doesn't seem to coordinate well with other writers (like how he disregarded the whole "must enter and leave from the same mirror" when writing some Ryuki episodes, or the characterization in his Kabuto episodes were obviously off compared to Yonemura's).Uchida did become their recent "go to" guy for crossovers at least. And he hasn't been the main writer for any big success unlike Takahashi. For /m/ specifically, most people really dislike Gotchard too where he had his biggest position in the writing of a tv series so far.Kinoshita outright tanked Revice. It's very rare you see Japanese general audiences souring on a series they like initially, but this actually happened with Revice. It's not just hardcore fans that whine about everything that disliked his work. The solo Revice movie did very badly since most people couldn't stand the show by the time it ran.
>>23868064You have to understand this argument doesn't work when the staff is really public for what exactly went wrong with every recent show of theirs except Boonboomger.
>>23868073You act as if only Takahashi gets to deal with this bullshit when this applies to every single kamen rider show. Producers forced other series to also change shit, and those shows are still better than Takahashi's usual shtick because the writers in charge were able to handle these complications better. I never see people give other writers a pass for producers forcing them to do shit, only when Takahashi does it. A good writer takes on a challenge and strives, a bad writer crumbles under pressure and shits the bed. Guess which one Takahashi is.
>>23868052>Eh, both Zero-One and Geats' issues were more about him being unable to adapt to behind the scenes production changes. Which, yeah, it's a flaw, but it's not inherent to his story styleI doubt COVID was the reason why Gai had such a horrendous backstory and redemption, why Yua was just Gai's pointless tool for for most of the show nor why they decided to take a massive dump all over Fuwa's backstory, among many other things.I doubt the toy delays were the reason why Michinaga became a horrible mass murderer only to get a terrible redemption arc when he was never envisioned to be the final boss at any point, nor the reason why Daichi also had a horrid redemption arc after being repeatedly built up as an even worse person than he initially seemed in the previous episodes, nor why Neon was an ungrateful cunt since the middle of Q1, among many other things.
>>23868082Eh. We just had Gavv where people were surprised to learn Komuta actually planned to phase out the Stomatch midway through and bring a new villain faction, but were stuck with the Stomatch the entire show, while obviously stretching their presence very thin because Takebe wanted to keep them.Before that reveal came most people did think it was all Komura's fault her previous shows also suffered from villains that are very passive in the middle, but it turns out this time it was Takebe wanting to keep the villain and then just Komura being unable to write a new active role for them.
>>23868080Kinoshita is the one I could maybe say is worse than Takahashi, but again, many of his worse traits are also on his show. After the terrible Daiji corruption arc we got the terrible Keiwa corruption arc, which was equally as bad and its only saving grace was a cool ass suit. So these two writers are not that different.
>>23868082>I never see people give other writers a passExcept we do? You act as if people don't say most problems in Saber are due to Covid or in Gavv and Gotchard due to the producers, Revice is the one recent exception where we can place most of the blame on the writer because we know that's the caseYou also act as if nothing change from then to now, back then Toei had recurring producers, by the time Build aired every producer that wasn't Omori got demoted and now we're dealing with the consequences of that, the reason Sentai managed to avoid these issues from Kiramager to King-Ohger was because we had executives temporarily step down to make Sentai themselves
>>23868087To be fair with her previous 3 Sentai the producers asked her to be episodic instead of serialized like she wantedHowever most problems in both LuPat and Zenkaiger are still her fault, it's only that Zenkaiger managed to be pretty great in spite of that unlike LuPat where everything went to shit
>>23868087>>23868090I rarely saw people bring them up for Gavv, and almost never for Gotchard which got massive hatred for similar writing mistakes. It mainly pops out when Takahashi fucks up.
how come when I watch the episode it's always better than what doomer mode 4chin says it is? this has been a constant for the past decade bros. explain yourselves.
>>23868098Have you considered just not coming here if you can't handle criticism?
>>23867928Tokusatsu is not for you.
>>23868096So you're pretending to be retarded or aren't able to differentiate shitposting from normal people, literally check desu to see how every throughout the entire run of Gotchard blamed Minato for most issues because very early on he gave an interview where he talked about how much he limited Hasegawa, then after the show ended it got revealed that he also limited Uchida greatly
i told you guys 2-parter is the worst like there's no tension anymore in this show ffs
>>23868103no? I watch it and realize damn these guys are more like whining housewives than they are giving actual criticism. how come?
>>23868098Have you considered that anyone who speaks in hyperbole is obviously exaggerating?
>>23868061>Anon Takahashi revived the Lupin III franchiseHow much were his directors involved in that, though? Not like it matters for any of his Rider work.>Takahashi isn't a great writer but by god he's nowhere near as bad as KinoshitaAre you illiterate? I said Kinoshita beats him in terms of bad writing, but Takahashi's still one of the worst in the terms of frustrating writing decisions even if he's not THE WORST.And Inoue I mentioned mainly because of his work on Hibiki and adult-focused Rider media. I'm not dissing his work in general, just his ability to write some extremely frustrating shit sometimes.
>>23868098Gain media literacy and differentiate shitposting from normal posts.
>>23868110Whatever criticism you don't like isn't actual criticism, right?
>>238681164chan posts are not media literacy. we are a hub for the illiterate. (you) and I are here.
>>23868107You are definitely pretending to be retarded to ignore all the hatred thrown at everyone else in Gotchard. Months and months of anons just saying the show is bad and badmouthing Hasegawa, Uchida and Inoue. If they mentioned Minato, that was not the majority, and you know it. You know damn well that because they bring the hack back that the producer excuse is more used with him than any other writer recently. When, if anything, that means he should know better how to avoid these same mistakes. If he can't adapt, then he's a bad writer, and he'd be a bad writer regardless of what producer he's given.See ya in a couple years when you use the same excuse for the anniversary season he'll make.
Genuinely why do Nips like Takahashi again? His character writing is shoddy, he barely utilises the side characters, the plots always fall apart by the half way mark, and he always redeems the worst fucking villains. Literally the only things people love about how shows are the suits (not designed by him) and the action (not directed by him)
>>23868086>I doubt COVID was the reason why Gai had such a horrendous backstory and redemption,The Gai redemption episode was actually the first one with script written post-COVID, when they knew they had lost one month of episodes. So, yeah, that's likely due to COVID.That's not the issue I was referencing though, I was talking about the boring job arc and really bad handling of Gai as a "legal villain" there where he just still acted like your usual criminal villain. The Job arc wasn't supposed to exist, and it'd be just Gai taking over Hiden from the start, but they changed that since q1 was very well received and the producer now wanted more of Zero-One as company president, alongside getting offers from various organizations to showcase jobs that allowed them things like new filming locations. So, you got the status frozen which just became unbelievable as there were still plot reveals during the job arc but the status quo could never budge due to how the production worked.>I doubt the toy delays were the reason why Michinaga became a horrible mass murderer only to get a terrible redemption arc when he was never envisioned to be the final boss at any point, nor the reason why Daichi also had a horrid redemption arc after being repeatedly built up as an even worse person than he initially seemed in the previous episodesIt's not just toy delays. He had to delay the whole evil Tycoon arc several times and then go from making it the actual end-game to just a side plot done in a few episodes. I don't disagree those redemptions were pretty weak though, especially in Buffa's case where productions are pretty noticeable on screen, with the whole Jamato extinction plot making no sense with what was shown in the previous arc.
>>23868090>You act as if people don't say most problems in Saber are due to CovidMost people don't use COVID as an excuse to defend Taka-P nor Fukuda.
>>23868121Again>able to differentiate shitposting from normal peopleReminder that one that an anon got banned and all of his post got deleted revealing that the guy that was constantly shitting on Komura and overpraising Gavv were all done by the same guyAgain this argument doesn't work because we know exactly what went wrong with each particular show thanks to interviews
>>23868118if you say it so nicely... yup, (you) can't refute me.
>>23868090>You act as if people don't say most problems in Saber are due to CovidStop gaslighting, when Saber was airing people mocked the main writer for being absent for a bunch of episodes and talking shit that they brought back the writers of Ghost to make a "Sentai season". Even though its obvious the multiple riders and general fantasy tone was definitely a producer thing.
>>23868127>The Gai redemption episode was actually the first one with script written post-COVID, when they knew they had lost one month of episodes. So, yeah, that's likely due to COVID.Watch the show again, the fucking dog shit was right there since Gai's introduction.This is what I mean, it's one to thing to delay or stall developments due to outside reasons, it's another one to come up with these terrible story ideas that feel like you're just taking the piss at the audience for no good reason at all.
>>23868129Every single Reiwa show has something go wrong, it doesn't change that Takahashi makes the same problems in every single one of his shows regardless of the producers, and saying they're the ones to blame is avoiding the real issue. Saber, Gotchard and Gavv all had bad things happen to them and it never got as bad as the worst in his shows. Revice is the only one I'd give was worse than his usual stuff, but that's just one show.
>>23868126Zeztz is the only time he has really been focused so strongly on a single Rider though. Most of his previous shows had large number of Riders and focus flowed between them. People generally like his characters and twists and turns. Which is why making Zeztz's first half episodic was kind of dumb with him as the main writer, since it took a long time before he could really start his usual narrative style.>>23868132>Stop gaslighting, when Saber was airing people mocked the main writer for being absent for a bunch of episodesHe outright said at the start he'd be more active with Saber. So, yeah, when he couldn't do that people reacted pretty negatively. Still people were reacting pretty negative to the producers name popping up too. I don't know why you're acting like people are only blaming the writers.
>>23868132So you're a newfag? Most people say that outside of this site because they know nothing about production. But here anons constantly talk about the behind the scenes.
>>23868131I can refute you though, you're a faggot so your opinions are all invalid.
>>23868145no you
>>23868128Fukuda gets defended here a lot because most of his dramas being good and that Ghost interview with Morota where he revealed Taka-P scrapped the show's setting twice due to complaints in the Drive movieAnd again we know how Covid affected the show because they were public about itHell compared to other places Saber gets defended here far more than other places precisely because we know what to blame, otherwise people treat Saber as if it was as bad as Ghost
>>23868149>Fukuda gets defended here a lot because most of his dramas being good and that Ghost interview with Morota where he revealed Taka-P scrapped the show's setting twice due to complaints in the Drive movieAlmost no one defends Fukuda for that, besides maybe you and a few others.>Hell compared to other places Saber gets defended here far more than other places precisely because we know what to blameMost people who defend Saber don't give Q1 a pass despite knowing what went down behind the scenes.Most reactions to people learning about Saber's original plan amount to them calling the staff incompetent or pussies.It's a very different reaction compared to Takahashi's defenders.
>>23868159>It's a very different reaction compared to Takahashi's defenders.I mean, HERE most people still complain about Zero-One's and Geats' later halves. You acting like people use production reasons to prop up those shows when that's not the case at all.In other places, it's not due to blaming producers or whatever, the shows are just seen more positively in general.
>>23867850I swear, if Three kills Baku again... and again, and again, and again, until he's stuck in a loop that devalidates ExDream...
>>23868142>So you're a newfag?Are you? People here highlighted Fukuda's promise to stay during the press conference. Anons here kept criticizing Fukuda for not sticking around and writing even less for Saber than he did for Ghost.To this day there's not a behind the scenes reason why he didn't stick around like he promised, there's just speculations.
>>23868034If not even My-Th can salvage the show, it will get cancelled like Sentai, but there will be nothing to replace it.
I'm still impressed how cursed Kamen Rider feels before Kuuga and after Build almost as if an outside force want to screw these shows up by how a bunch of unrelated coincidences end up causing these shows to get worse.It's a miracle that V3 and Stronger turned out as fantastic as they did. Specially with Stronger technically having two head writers.
>>23868175Emperor Heisei (and his counterpart Neo-Heisei) protected the shows while he was in office.
>>23868173I think it’ll get cancelled only if profits keep going down for the next 10 years, which won’t happen with the anniversary series coming in a few years. Above 20 billion annually is still enough to keep it afloat. I think My-Th could make more than Gavv and Zeztz, the chinese zodiac motif can make for fun toys and the duo VS gimmick sounds like it can sell.
>>23868175>how cursed Kamen Rider feelsLater rider shows have sold more than Build. Sybau retard.
>>23868173Rider is still selling way too well to go anywhere near cancellation. We aren't even back to Drive/Ghost levels yet.
>>23868173Learn English and stop pretending that a franchise that's still returning profits is getting canceled anytime soon.Doomposting like this makes no sense unlike Sentai where we had 11 years of consistent financial loss and the 2019 leaks confirming that they were considering canceling Sentai.
>>23868181So you don't watch the shows and judge things solely on how good they sell?
>>23868173You do know Rider only needs to make like 8 billion a year to keep afloat, right?
>>238681939.5* billion a year actually due to increasing costs but yes that anon is insanely retarded
People say Zeztz improved significantly after switching from episodic to serialized storytelling, but I don't think it's doing the serialized format all that well, at least compared to other serialized shows. The two-parter format is clearly still holding the show back, but in a different way, they keep undermining story and character developments that happen in the prevoous 2-parter because they always need a big new event to happen in the next one, instead of letting events flow organically.
>>23868202>If Rider keeps making 22 billion yen a year they'll be FINISHED! That guy, probably
>>23868202when was the last time KR even got below that number?
>>23868206 cont.It's starting to remind me of how Geats's latter half handled the pacing of its story, especially Q4.
>>23868206Yes although I feel most of my problems come from the character balance of the second half, the 2-parter problem is definitely Yanaka's fault with the way he wants the pacing to be, even though I like Geats less than Zeztz in that show Takahashi handled the 2-parter pacing far better, but the character balance I feel it's definitely Takahashi's faultI'm still having fun with the show but I'll admit it's in a key jingling way where I just haven't any episode boring, I feel like people won't look back fondly on Zeztz here on a way similar to Geats where other sites like a lot for some reason, only this time it will be the Chinese instead of the west like Geats
>>23868214Kiva but at that time they still only had to earn 8 billion, so the last time a Kamen Rider show was a genuine financial failure was Kabuto
>>23868218they really hit jackpot with Den-O and the franchise was pretty much set in stone after that. Zi-O still has probably the best collectibles just because of the ridewatches having sounds and anyone would want to own the watch of their favorite show.
>>23868217Anon, you do know Geats is also popular in Japan and China, not just the West, right? We literally just had a Chinese poll about this
>>23868233I knew it was popular in Japan but didn't know it was also popularoon China, I wasn't aware there was a poll but I looked it up after seeing your post and you're right Guess this isn't the same case at all then, it seems that Zeztz is only popular on China and kinda Latinamerica then
>>23868235Japanese reception improved after the twist on Ep. 24
>>23868235Zeztz also got popular in the West, especially after the twist, Catastrom and Exdream. Though, it's hard to gauge since we don't have hard numbers compared to Japan and China
>>23868218>Kabuto sold poorlyHuh, I always thought that season was popular. The toys and suits looked sick as hell
>>23868268It was a bit of a recovery after Hibiki, but yeah, it didn't do especially well overall. It's why they didn't do another series with a larger number of new Riders again until Gaim.
>>23868273To be fair, Hibiki should be considered an outlier and not the norm. I assume execs would've expected at least 9 billion yen to get back to a pre-Blade number, but it undersold expectations
>>23868278That Knight seems severely malnourished. Is he okay? Has the tatalae become too much for him?
>>23868278The everyday tatakae...
>>23868268The show was popular but sales hadn't recovered from Hibiki selling so poorly and from nips' POV Blade and Hibiki were below average seasons so while Kabuto was critically successful it wasn't watched by as many people but it at least helped to get people to watch Den-O a bitIt's why people had some hope that Sentai could get saved had King-Ohger sold well because Donbrothers was critically successful and sold better than the prior year, but then sales decreased instead Sentai died
The Episode 35 curse strikes again

>>23868363King-Ohger reunion where she gets to get beat up by Tachibana(-San) again
The fact that there's less than 15 episodes left and they still haven't properly introduced the Gore Nightmares is concerning, aren't they supposed to be the final villains of the show?
>>23868373>23868373No that sounds fine to me honestly. 13-14 eps left.
>>23868373I wouldn't worry since it's normal to have new villains in the final arc, also becauseit seems we're getting Phantom next episode according to the vision, if there were 12 episodes left and they haven't defeated CODE by then nor introduced the Oblivion then I'd be genuinely concerned
>>23868352Jack Revice, but they used Volcano's on Amazingummy.
>>23868373They've already introduced 2 of them and are introducing a new one next episode so it's fineSieg already been turned into a non-thread, Phantom is directly connected to Lady, Nox is getting his upgrade soon which will probably have him aknowledge CODE's purpose that Fujimicalled him out on as Baku is the only rogue agent that seems legitemely concerned for the safety of others and they can delve further into Zero without needing to defeat him3 is the one that worries me because he's a lame villain right now and I don't see him suddenly turning interesting with his upgrade next episode, then 5 will probably die anticlimactically which also sucks since he's entertaining and I'm not sure if Yanaka will be doing specials after the show ends to delve deeper on them
>>23868390If Baku dies AGAIN next episode, he might get stuck in an infinite death loop, basically comatose in his hospital bed back in Episode 1, but whenever he wakes up, Three kills him instantly, waking up in another spot he awakens in his dreams for Three to just up and kill him again, over and over, until he can do nothing but scream. Only Nox can save him now, but if not even his Final Form changes anything, the show will become way too bleak until something changes.
>>23868390>They've already introduced 2 of them and are introducing a new one next episode so it's fineThey haven't been properly introduced as threats yet though. Catastrophe is just that Nightmare inside Baku that hasn't spoken a single line yet, Punish just showed up in a flashback, Phantom was just a mysterious smoke cloud that lended its powers to The Lady and Oblivion hasn't shown up at all yet.
>>23868373The Gores are probably endgame because I don't see Three and CODE lasting too long. Plus we already know Punish is attached to Dawn and Phantom related to the Lady and to an extent Nox. Catastrophe seems to be the endgame for Baku and Oblivion is kind of an outlier since he's not really connected to anyone, but I'm wondering if maybe Oblivion is going to be connected to Mugen in the movie like how George's demon was handled. It would honestly make sense since Mugen quite literally translates to dream of nothing/void.
>>23868380>I wouldn't worry since it's normal to have new villains in the final arcThe vast majority of shows that do this don't have good final arcs.
>>23867826Oh she's DEAD dead, wow I would've figured Baku would've been able to reverse it. RIP she had so much potential, but that's Takahashi with women for ya. Kinda curious how she's in the movie though.
>>23868408She can still come back, but only as a guest character, so she'll only be in 2 episodes at most.
>>23868409I feel like they definitely could've kept the kitbash really simple and it would've come out fine
>>23868406>It would honestly make sense since Mugen quite literally translates to dream of nothing/void.It doesn't, the "Mu" in Mugen's name means "Dream" instead of "Nothing", the "gen" part means "existence".
>>23868418You're absolutely right, I'm retarded and mixed up the words. Thanks for pointing it out, anon. Also kinda funny how Mugen is just the reverse of Genm (different kanji for Gen though of course).
>>23868406Nah this Mugen is “Dream/ Real” not “Infinity”
>>23868435>>23868431Yeah my bad the anon above pointed out out too, for some reason I mixed things up
By the way, looking at the schedule for the movie (which is the usual late July), we already know the whole list for the final Zeztz So-Do lineup, because that one's coming this August. And trust me, you'll instantly hate the invasive additions.https://bandaicandy.hateblo.jp/entry/20260517_rider
>>23868440>Valvarad Kurogane>Majade TwilightCool. I haven't really kept up with KR toy releases, but do they often take a while to release these cheap So-Do figures for other Riders? I thought they would've been out by Gotchard's end, maybe early Gavv at most
>>23867651I feel like they could've at least tried to make the legs a little sleeker by removing some of the extra padding. Honestly they could've probably kitbashed a much sleeker suit in general or just build upon the extra Zeztz Darkness suit. But otherwise, the color scheme is neat and I love the helmet with the half awake eyes, really digging the daydream motif. Hopefully it looks a bit better in motion.
>>23868449If it's final forms of the last season going to the next, it started back in Geats when Ultimate Revice got their releases there, and it got worse and better at the same time in the Gavv line, where everyone's final forms did get released in time, but Twilight Majade and Valvarad Kurogane were nowhere to be seen, not even Valvarad GT was made. And worse, the Gavv line is when we got Buffa Plosion Rage.
>>23867648Hiro Mizushima status?
>>23868218what was the strategy with Project Red? It's basically selling at around Sentai's number right now
>>23868480GOATed
>>23868440>Gotchard slop ruining itWow what a surpriseThat's how Geats was when half the waves had Revice shit in it
>>23868481They said that the true strength of Project Red won't be seen until like the third show. Seems like the plan is for the previous Red protagonist to stick around in the next season to make it more interconnected and encourage fans to support the next show, sort of like how Digimon did it in between Adventure and 02
>>23868500newfag retard
I had more fun with individual episodes of Gotchard and early Gavv than Zeztz. Only the big highlight episodes are memorable or whenever Tachibana-san goes hammy. This serialized shit is what sells but it makes me remember less and less outside the big highlight episodes and fights themselves.
>>23868514But Zeztz's first half is more episodic than the entirety of Gavv? I'll never understand people who act as if serialized and episodic structure aren't just ways to tell a story but instead determine wether a show is good or not when we have examples of both good and bad shows under both structures
Why the fuck do Five and Six need to be developed like a full-fledged characters with deep motivations when they are clearly meant to be NPC fodders? I just don’t understand why some are up in arms about it.
>>23868522Because Six not being developed means Nasuka who's from the main cast not being developedOtherwise there's also a waifufag that's really pissed off about this but the point still stands that having an episode that strips the cops from being useful again and cuts off one of their main connection to the story immediately after they were finally acknowledged to be really weird pacing wisePersonally this is the first episode from Zeztz I have problems with otherwise everything prior felt above average despite everything weird that happened
Mugen Driver & DayDream Capsem
>>23868522because the show acts as if one should feel emotionally attached to them despite being cannon fodder which feels cheapstill the 3rd best reiwa show tho only beaten by saber and gavv
Full screenshot.
Are we still don't know Five's real name?
>>23868529>>23868532exaid?!
>>23868531Guess to show how shit Kamen Rider is right now if a show that's on par with a mid-tier Heisei show like Saber is considered the best Reiwa can offer. But the fact that it's still somehow making money just goes to show how shit the Japs' tastes are
>>23868538>>23868514Anon toys are what determine the sales not the shows, the shows just justify the toys' existance Sentai's quality went back to being great from Kiramager to King-Ohger yet they were financial failures due to the toys
>>23868543Exactly. It's retarded how shows like Gotchard and Geats make bank when Sentai has been floundering despite hitting it out of the park. Kiramager alone clears most Reiwa Rider show
>>23867928His Scanning Charge feels like an afterthought. Should have his own Rider Kick.
>>23868549>ExactlyYou literally said>how shit the Japs' tastes areIt's due to the toys not "japanese tastes", while they're more lenient there due to Kamen Rider still being creative they still complain about the quarters that are lower quality just like here, it's why you see every Sentai from Kiramager to Gozyuger earn awards but not Rider
>>23868556You say that they complain about lower quality quarters yet they still keep calling Takahashi back despite consistently showing his weaknesses as a writer
>>23868522Because the show repeatedly wants us to feel bad for them even though they barely appear and interact with others. Kureha also has ties to Nasuka which makes you think they'll do something interesting between the two there, but they just don't, which fucking sucks because it was a prime opportunity for one of the useless cops to finally do something noteworthy.Wasting characters like this is just bad writing no matter how you slice it.
>>23868517The fact that Zeztz did both structures and still managed to botch them both is kind of amazing actually.
>>23868567Yeah, the general audiences don't give a fuck, they keep craving Takahashi shows.
>>23868567That's Toei's decision not the japanese audienceWith Ex-Aid he got hired because he passed Omori's trial process, with Zero-One it was due to Ex-Aid's popularity with kids, with Geats it was because it was focused on games so Takebe wanted a writer that had experience writing game-like scenarios thus him due to Ex-Aid and with Zeztz it was because he came up with the "Rider that uses powers of dreams" conceptSo Zero-One was the only time they actually thought of the audience when hiring him, it's not like the japanese audience keep asking for him to repeatedly come back
>>23868532I do like the visor design where one looks half closed.
>>23868569That's Yuya "I Wrote Half of Reiwa" Takahashi for you. Best writer Toei has, clearly
>>23868570>>23868567Anon Ghost was so hated in Japan that "Ghost's staff" was trending in Japan out of fear when Saber's staff was initially revealed, they don't hire people based on the audience you're just racist
>>23868571>it's not like the japanese audience keep asking for him to repeatedly come backThey sure do love his shows though, the only group of Japs who don't are our equivalents from 2chan.
Assuming it's dual personalities and not two different characters for each egg, who would be a good writer pick for My-Th?
>>23868582Kinoshita, he already did a schizo Rider.
>>23868582Don’t think so, if the Rat and Cat are confirmed to be dual Riders then the others should too.
>>23868582>Yasuko Kobayashi>Yutaka Fujimoto>Shin Yoshida>Ryu07>Satoshi Mizukami>Michiko Yokote>Sho Aikawa>Akatsuki Yamatoya>Atsushi Ohkubo>Hideyuki Kikuchi>Yousuke Kuroda>amphibian>Chiaki Konaka >Shoji Yonemura>Hideyuki Kurata>Kazuki Nakashima>Tatsuhito Higuchi
>>23868582kanao of towelket fame
it seems the previous episode had the opening replaced Zeztz Catastrom with his Exdream form for the kicking scene, can someone post the difference?
>>23868606Do it yourself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQAqDFZYhdI
>>23868617it seems the woman described an ancient warrior which is translated as a dragoon, which were originally a class of mounted infantry, who used horses for mobility, but dismounted to fight on foot. That concept seems familiar to the classic Kamen Rider in which they fight on foot but also ride their bikes.
>>23868056Because the idea that Hajime just turns into other Undead was a retcon, Chalice was treated as some kind of suit early on in the show.
>>23867762Pathetic! Disappointing! WRONG!
>>23868619So what was Hajime supposed to be originally?
>>23868654I feel like he was always meant to be an Undead, since there were hints pointing towards it early on. Maybe he was originally meant to be the Human Undead, or maybe he was always meant to be Joker, but the Chalice Rouzer probably wasn't originally intended to be some sort of special organ that only Joker had.
>>23868654No one knows, I didn't claim he wasn't supposed to be an Undead, I said that the concept of his belt straight up turning him into other Undead was a retcon. The popular theory is that he was supposed to be an ancient Rider of some kind who used a belt that worked in a similar way to the other ones. They did try to explain the Mantis Undead's weird appearance in the supplemental material, claiming that it's wearing an armor as part of its powerset and that its true appearance lies underneath.
so I never dabbled on Girls Remix but I heard the teams kept changing? Isn't the only one who vanished Tsukiyomi?
>>23868671It depends on who they could invite back at the time.
>>23867651Remember when they actually made new suits for movie riders?
>>23867651I get it's going for a asymmetrical theme, but both eyes should've just been open
>>23868683Didn't we still get them up to Dorado?
>>23867868We all like Sieg, that's why. Of course he was gonna come back.
>>23868683Money doesn't grow on trees
>>23868671Kivala only appeared in the Halloween one.
>>23868687They used to have the money, what happened? Is it because Power Rangers doesn't bring in money anymore?
>>23868685X-Geats was a kitbash with suits outside of Geats series.
>>23868675>>23868688Ah I see>space goopthey can't bring back her actress too?
>>23868690We still got Seeker that year. And that's a unique suit.
how many Sakamoto are we getting this year? we got Girls Remix 4 and Forticus
>>23868683Remember when they wasted a rare non-idol casting on Revice's movie which nobody saw?
she fucked with the autistic crocodile rider?!
>>23868706She and him went to a hotel and talked all night. Very above board.
>>23868686I like his actor but I don't like the character he plays.
>>23868693He got retail Rider budget because his Buckle was also in the show.
>>23868714Falchion got a brand new suit. And Chimera/Daimon got whole ass suits with new Drivers too
just finished watching all of the girls remix. honestly only the first one was okay, the rest are good. helps that starting on Majade they have some inkling of story to go to.why is nozomi here though? so weird to acknowledge amazons. I don't mind but I find it funny you got an edgy rider show being recognized as part of the gang.
>>23868726>Falchion got a brand new suitHe didn't, most of it is literally a Ghost suit repaint.>And Chimera/Daimon got whole ass suits with new Drivers tooThe suit is mostly a repaint of Barid Rex and the Driver is a Revice Driver retool.
>>23868726Reiwa Rider summer movies have been featuring fully kitbashed villain Riders
Remember that one time they made a new movie rider suit that did nothing? Well I guess they got mileage out of the repaints....
>>23868742>that one time they made a new movie rider suit that did nothing?Kamuro's very obviously a Gaim retool, just like nearly every post-show Gaim Rider.
oh yeah, weird they never brought up nozomi "looking like clotho", usually they mention that
Let’s see…>G4 is G3 with G3-X armor and new head>Ryuga is repainted Ryuki with new, sharp-eyed head>Psyga is new suit, Orga is new armor on top of repainted Faiz suit>Glaive, Lance and Larc have largely same suit with slight armor modifications and color changes>Movie Oni Riders are mostly new suits>Kabutech Riders are repainted Kabuto Rider Form suit with new horned right shoulder and new heads>Gaoh is new armor on top of repainted Den-O undersuit>Arc is new suit with modified Kiva’s head, Rey is new suit>Eternal is new head with a W suit painted white and Maximum Drive Slots vest/ bands>OOO has new monster suit>Skydain/ Groundain/ Black Knight have new suits>Sorcerer has new suit, Movie Mage suits have different accessories than TV Show ones>Mars and Kamuro have new armors on repainted Gaim/ Baron undersuits. Mars has new head while Kamuro has one modified from Gaim’s>Dark Drive is new suit>Dark Ghost and Zero Specter are repainted Ghost’s and Specter’s suits, Extremer shares the same suit as the Great Eyezer>Fuuma has new suit>Blood has repainted Evol armor and Build undersuit, with some new parts here and there >Barlckxs, Zonjis and Zamonas have new suits>Eden and Lucifer have new heads and new armor on top of repainted 01 undersuit>Falchion’s whole body is repainted from Ghost’s with new phoenix-themed shoulders and new head>Chimera and Daimon have repainted Barid Rex suits with some new parts for the shoulders and new heads >X-Geats has repainted Ichigata suit and repainted Geats IX head >Dorado has Germain’s suit, repainted Evol Black Form’s skirt, Grease Perfect Kingdom’s armor and Revice’s forearms>Caries C1/ C3 has Bitter Gavv’s undersuit, C1 has repainted Eagle Genome armor, Wizard Land Dragon’s claws, Saber Elemental Dragon’s shoulders and Calibur’s shins, C3 has mostly repainted Bitter Gavv’s armor and Thouser’s shoulder pads
>>23868775You're skipping a lot of Riders like Verde and Femme though
>>23868775I guess Caries and kinda Dorado was where they started pulling multiple different parts for the movie suits. Honestly I thought Caries looked pretty good for the kitbash and Dorado was pretty simple enough, but Mugen definitely feels off because I don't think it has much parts from the Zeztz Rider suits. I feel like they should've at least used one of their undersuits and shoes to match the aesthetic. I feel like they could've done a bit by putting on extra pieces onto a Zeztz undersuit.
>>23868532Is that an owl on his Capsem?
it's weird no one attempted to close Kamen Rider Hibiki. aren't the main villains still out and about
>>23868811Hibiki's actor isn't coming back
Would you watch a kamen rider show where everyone is actually a chuunibyo pretending to be a kamen rider and everything takes place in everyone's imagination?
>>23868841That's basically Akibaranger, and I've wanted AkibaRider for years.
>>23868841that's Geiz Majesty
>Latest episodeOk but CODE was right, the general public shouldn't be aware that having a bad dream will cause IRL terrorist attacks.
>>23868745In Girls Remix Rinne calls Nozomi Clotho after meeting her.
>>23868669I miss her already...
I hope MY-TH will double down on misogyny lol
>>23868877My-th should give us a female kamen rider with exposed legs.
>>23868874She’s in the movie, so she’s only kinda sorta dead.
>>23868877My-Th will follow the classic shonen MO of being so anti-woman it buffer overflows into being homoerotic
The greatest CODE fighter
I feel like twitter would hate Drive if it aired today, bros. He had a child, and there was on screen breastfeeding in a v-cin. This would absolutely mindbreak the xe/xers.
>>23868915Dude was the main villain of Part 1, and despite his seemingly petty motivations, he did the dirt work.Didn’t really accomplish much though.
>>23868841I'd rather a rider version of samurai flamenco where it starts out as playing pretend only to suddenly hit the fan.
ExDream is so boring. Catastrom had way more gravitas and presence
>>23868915god i want to smack his vagueposting ass
When the dreaming and waking world become as one, the finality of existence begins...
>>23868933people there are treating the mishandling of a supporting character as if they'd actually murdered the actressI like her but parasocial relationships are insane, I swear
They call her Nemlin cuz she's a gremlin!
>>23869069glad you're alive, boo
https://twitter.com/toeiHERO_movie/status/2055921266268496087Interview Mission post.
>>23868877Isn't already comfirmed that My-Th is getting a female rider but she's implied to be evil?
>>23869109No? The only confirmed thing we know is that the main duo are fated rivals
>>23869109With 24 Riders, we're bound to get a couple female Riders anyway
>>23869108>black hair is filming over?
>>23869140For months already
>>23868729They just want to do "same actor" joke because Kanon Miyahara portrayed both Nozomi and Clotho. Also she's one of Sakamoto's regular.
>>23868775So was Falchion started the kitbashing suits from previous series instead from the same show?
I get what Zi-O was trying to do with the Blade episodes but I thought the reasoning was flimsy. Kenzaki literally did what he do aside from saving the world was to make sure Hajime live a normal life with Amane and he kinda threw it away.
why couldn't Taiga be the next Kiva user if Wataru's actor doesn't want to act as Kiva anymore?
>>23869261>Wataru's actor doesn't want to act as Kiva anymore?Where the hell are you getting this from? He constantly references Kiva off-set and talks about how well Toei treated him, he's just too famous to come back since he's getting a lot of work like Philip's actor, which also means he's more expensive to come back
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkKMO4q4XbMCase 35.
>>23869153Nope, the Zectroopers got kitbashed in Den-O and Zero-One had 001, Ikazuchi and Naki.
>>23869272The biggest issue with trying to get back actors for cameos is that Toei gives too short a notice. If an actor's schedule doesn't give them much wiggle room, there's nothing anyone can do. The ones that come back on a semi-regular basis are the ones who have more time on their hands, which says a lot of about Masahiro.
How did this friendship between Inoue and Urobuchi start?
>>23869532They played 5 minutes in heaven while drunk one day, Inoue's bottle landed on him and they went into the room together enemies and came out best friends.
>>23869532A tokusatsu magazine did interviews in pairs where they both got lumped together due to being writers that don't think of the kidsYasuko Kobayashi and Yuji Kobayashi got paired together due to having the same last name for exampleAfter that they both hit it off and started hanging out regularly, Urobuchi also bought a lot of Donbrothers merch
>>23869069>Maybe you dreamt you defeated me.
>>23868973The ExDream fight with Sieg was fantastic. But i gotta give it to Cata chan for just being raw and metal af
new bread?
I hope My-th has a loli like Gotchard
>>23869727
>>23869727I hope My-th has a D-cup female character
Page8>>23869753
>>23869727>>23869754I hope Myth has he who shall not be named
>>23869761Who?
>>23868817So is Kabuto's
>>23868811Zi-O gave a conclusion to Kiriya at least but yeah it's difficult because Takatera was fired and Hibiki being the show Shirakura cares the least of the ones he handled alongside Sh15uya because both weren't initially his
