What would you like to say to Minami becoming Nox Knight?
>>23879329flat
https://x.com/makiyamayusuke/status/2058511605516918849>Have you all found the message at the >#RealAgitoExhibition? >#KamenRiderAgito #25thAnniversary
>>23879338
>>23879329Total waste and dumb
>>23879329I haven't kept up with the Minami side story at all
>>23879281Final Stage was the last hurrah. It's unlikely to appear after that because it's too low on the hierarchy. When it comes to a main Rider's forms, the hierarchy is always Base Form > Final Form > one of the mid-show upgrades. If there are multiple upgrades, one will take greater precedence over the others. Forms that debut in movies are pretty much dead last in the hierarchy. Their "value" is lower. Ten years from now, all of Zi-O's nostalgia will be tied to his base form, Trinity and GrandZi-O. Maybe Zi-O II, but probably not given how it renders the base form too obsolete.
>>23879340Ironic message from the wife beater
>>23879352Nah, Zi-O II is the more popular form, not Trinity. They even brought it back for Gotchard
>>23879356And then they used Zi-O II's shoulder pads for Valvarad Kurogane after the former's use in Gotchard.
>>23879329I don't mind it, but it's kind of a waste.
>>23879356The more time passes, the more powerful base forms become. Not in terms of setting, but in terms of presence. It doesn't matter how popular a form once, most Riders don't actually change form that often after their shows end, and if they do, it's usually for some sort of thematic significance.Base Zi-O was fucking worthless throughout his show, but in subsequent "legend" appearances going forward, he'll start one-shotting conspicuously mute Evoltos and shit.
>>23879358Damn, I guess we'll never see Zi-O II anymore. Final forms are one of those things that pop back up constantly so they'll be extremely reluctant to refurbish Kurogane
>>23879361They'll still show up occasionally for one reason or another. Zi-O II showed up in Gotchard for a Legend finisher and Geats used Laser Boost for some gravity tricks in his crossover movie. And then we get stuff like Dr. Pac-Man where all the returning Riders cycle through all their forms for a cool fight scene
>>23879362Zi-O II probably had multiple suits. They wouldn't destroy a main Rider's suits so easily unless they had spares.
>>23879354All I'll say is they were allegations and it seems literally everyone, Staff and the Cast has forgiven him.
Yo!
https://twitter.com/tamashii_tnt/status/2058722260224204827This year's upcoming Figure Expo.
>>23879364I doubt it. The only suit they have multiples of are the base form suits. Everything else there's only one copy of, even the final forms.
>>23879365>>23879354She fell on accident.
Was Zi-O the most useless main form relative to a main Rider's overall arsenal?

>>23879325I can tell the resident shitposter made this thread.
>>23879329Another female rider to waste
>>23879373It's crazy how that nothing character got so popular
>>23879329ERROR
>>23879373I still can't believe they used dress shoes to save a bit of money.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc6KfxuWECY
>>23879365>All I'll say is they were allegationsHe held a press conference admitting to his misconduct and spent the following years talking about how much of a piece of shit he was, they weren't mere allegations.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulJgwctOYuk
>>23879380Three wanted to drink Kureha up it can't be helped. Minyami would've been next on the female agent juice list if Baku hadn't saved her.
>>23879367EVO--...huh!?
>>23879381It's because he's the least nothing villain in the overrated show he came from.
>>23879367You're gonna make this forced meme as annoying as his laugh if you keep spamming it like this.
>>23879387I still don't believe it, sorry.
>>23879387Either way Most people have seemingly forgiven him.
>>23879397He's not gonna fuck you.
>>23879387And he's seemingly paid his dues in the eyes of Japanese society and his costars. It's not like constantly bringing up his past is going to change that.
>>23879412Just because others chose to brush it off doesn't mean no one has the right to judge him for his actions anymore.
>>23879419>Once a man has sinned once, he is no longer worthy of forgiveness. He must be punished until the day he dies, and continue to be despised forever after.
>>23879419You're right, I'm going to judge him on the fact that he didn't beat his wife hard enough.
>>23879419Sure, but you can do that without mentioning it every time a pic of Gills gets posted. After a certain point it becomes self-serving more than anything else.
Everyone deserves another chance, including Gills's actor.
>>23879421You only say this shit because you're a fan of a TV character he played 20 years ago. People are responsible for their own actions as well as their consequences, and you're not owed forgiveness simply because you apologized for something.It's up to each person to determine if someone has truly atoned for their horrible actions, so don't come here begging others to forgive him just because you, his fans and some of his friends did.
>>23879394Sorry it's not a forced meme (you) like, anon-chan.
>>23879437You're right. You disgust me and I hate you, and I don't really care what you say or do. I just know that you're a piece of shit.
>>23879424And Kinoshita.
>>23879437Enough with the virtue signaling already.
>>23879423Well, too bad, it's not something that can be easily ignored once someone learns about it, and I'm saying this even though I'm not the one who brought up his domestic abuse in the first place. Maybe he should've thought twice before staining his reputation like this, like Super-1's actor and all the other controversial Rider actors.
>>23879441Yeah yeah, fuck you too.>>23879445The irony of saying this when you're the ones getting pissy over a joke and insisting everyone must forgive this one actor because he atoned for everything he did in your minds. I'm not even telling you that should hate him and never forgive him, I'm just telling you that everyone is entitled to their own opinion on the matter and that you should stop begging others to forgive him or ignore what he did just because you personally do.
>>23879456Anyone who engages in cancel culture is probably a lousy person anyway.
>>23879437One can easily assume you're only against him because he's an actor, so you automatically assume people will forgive him. It goes both ways. It may be up to an individual to decide whether he should be forgiven or not, but in the eyes of Japan, he's forgiven enough to make a minor appearance. That's really all that matters.>>23879446That's all well and good, but what do you actually gain from talking about it? You're not defending his ex-girlfriend's honor. You aren't spreading information that isn't common knowledge by now. All you're doing is holding a grudge for something that has nothing to do with you.
>>23879438You're still an annoying spammer who's running it into the ground.
Godspeed Lord 3 Booster
The final form Kamen Riders of this series.
>>23879458Calling someone an hypocrite or an asshole isn't "cancel culture", nobody here is begging you to boycott his restaurant or anything like that, or even asking you to have a negative opinion on him.>>23879460 >One can easily assume you're only against him because he's an actorI have a kinda negative opinion on him because he abused a bunch of women and stole a ton of money from them, and I haven't seen anything about him even trying to make it up to the victims, so even if he apologizes a lot and says he's changed I'm not automatically going to assume he's a good person. I like Ryo, but he's not Ryo, he's the actor who portrayed him.>but in the eyes of Japan, he's forgiven enough to make a minor appearanceYes, and? You keep parrotting this shit as if it's supposed to be enough of an incentive for everyone to change their minds about him.>That's really all that mattersNo matter how many times you say this shit, you're not gonna stop anons and other fans from calling him a wife beater. It's basically a meme now, deal with it just like Tomoi probably does.>but what do you actually gain from talking about it? You're not defending his ex-girlfriend's honor.What do you gain from defending him? Again, I'm not even the person who made the joke that started this whole discussion in the first place, but the way you reacted so defensively to it really put me off.>You aren't spreading information that isn't common knowledge by nowActually, I corrected the misinformation that one of his defenders said about him when he claimed they were just allegations. At least get your facts right if you're really gonna do this shit.>All you're doing is holding a grudge for something that has nothing to do with you.I'm not even making these posts because I have a grudge against him or anything, I do it because I find your overdefensive attitude about the whole thing really fucking annoying.

>>23879487Naturally look a bit cheaper then a SHF but if they're cheaper that could be worth looking into
>>23879484I still can't believe that Exdream got the Orderm treatment, they had a whole month to show it off before Midnight Shadow arrived.
>>23879494It's unironically too OP to keep using, so Baku will need to fight with the normal Zeztz Driver for about 10 episodes before getting the Exdream Driver back. Just in time to fight Catastrophe Gore
Yea i don't really care about the other characters but if catastrophe gore is indeed the final villain, officially Zeztz is the 2nd best takahashi show after Exaids
When Baku gets his ExDream Driver back, who gets to use the regular Zeztz driver remade by dzaddy?>Minami>Nemu>Fujimi>Cata chan
>>23879503Exdream isn't gonna last that long without showing up, Midnight Shadow will beat Three once and for all and with that Baku's gonna be free to retrieve the Exdream gear from CODE. It's impossible to pull off a Kuuga in the moderna era.
>>23879519>>23879519>who gets to use the regular Zeztz driver remade by dzaddy?Baku, because no one else is allowed to do anything important in this show and he needs his base form to recreate the fight scene against Catastrophe from the OP.
>>23879508At this point Catastrophe Gore is little more than a generic monster, he hasn't even spoken any lines yet. It would've been cool if it had been more of a looming threat throughout the show, but it's been getting the Suel treatment so far.
>>23879486>I haven't seen anything about him even trying to make it up to the victimsLooking it up, there doesn't seem to be a follow up on that, but even so that's a personal matter between him and the women he hurt.>Yes, and? It's not an incentive to change anyone's mind, but just food for thought. The Japanese industry is much more harsh on scandals than the West. Him appearing at all shows he proved himself to someone, which almost never happens. It isn't like the Western industry where you can get caught in continuous scandals and still keep working like nothing happened.FYI, I'm >>23879412 >>23879460 and not the other guy responding. I don't think I've been overly defensive at all, and I apologize if it came off that way. My main point is that while what he did was heinous and people have the right to hate him all they want, he wouldn't be back in the public eye at all if he hadn't done something right. All we can go on is what's made public. If he's changed enough to satisfy Japanese society's standards, complaining about it on a Western forum doesn't serve much purpose beyond moral grandstanding.
>>23879523They did it with Gotchard. Valvarad and Majade didn't get their final forms until the last couple episodes
>>23879519It's most likely Nem. Zeztz is just Takahashi reheating his old slop so this is his "Izu becomes the new Zero-Two" scene
>>23879548
>>23879539I just don't get what the point of repeating this "food for thought" over and over again is when it comes to individuals personally expressing their negative opinions on him, it just comes across as a desperate tactic to make them think they're in the wrong for judging him and his actions harshly. Bringing up Japan and this vague notion that he somehow proved himself to someone over and over again isn't gonna stop people from thinking he isn't that good of a person or making edgy remarks about how much he loved to beat his wife, so you're just wasting your time by repeatedly bringing this "food for thought" up.
>>23879544Those were P-Bandai toys that weren't announced until the day of debut, not major retail toys that had a massive gap between appearances.
>>23879519Zero, himself, for the father-son team up.
>>23879503>It's unironically too OP to keep usingMore like too poorly written, they even gave it a drawback by establishing that it takes a toll on the user, but they didn't even think of using this perfect excuse to prevent Baku from spamming it.
>>23879539I don't even give them the time of day because people like that from experience and the experience of others are the most hypocritical and can't stop with the moral grandstanding. I haven't even responded to him in this thread and I can for certain tell you I'd silently avoid them IRL. It's the same kind of people who latch onto a false western born narrative that Maya Imamori was fired because of racism and then slapping their rancid unwashed cock of an opinion on the table wherever they go like it's fact.
>>23879567Zero's not special enough to be able to become Zeztz.
>>23879572according to (you)
>>23879571>and can't stop with the moral grandstandingThe anon you're replying to and others are the ones who turned this into moral grandstanding. Literally no one told them they have to hate Ryo's actor but they still came in droves in an attempt to defend his image.>It's the same kind of people who latch onto a false western born narrative that Maya Imamori was fired because of racism and then slapping their rancid unwashed cock of an opinion on the table wherever they go like it's fact.Tomoi's defenders are closer to this because you literally have people in this thread making shit up and ignoring actual facts so they can pretend he did nothing wrong.
>>23879573No, according to the show itself. Five and Six already established that only someone special among the Agents can become Zeztz, and the whole reason why Zero had to groom Baku to be Zeztz is because the Catastrophe Nightmare manifested inside his dreams. Stuff like the premonitory dreams are explicitly said to be a power of Zeztz, and no one but Baku has them.
>>23879575You don't get it. We're not defending Gills' actor, but we're not condemning him either.What a lot of us are getting at is we hate YOU.That's right, YOU. YOU are the insufferable prick that needs to cancel themselves, YOU are the person we do not want to hear from anymore, YOU are the person we are tired of constantly breathing down our necks about what we are allowed to or not allowed to enjoy. Go somewhere else to tell people "To do better" or "Be a better person", ideally in a mirror. If the other anon isn't up to telling it to you straight because it might come off as too confrontational, then I will.
>>23879533It's reminding me of how disappointed I was that Haruto's dragon became irrelevant after he got the Flame Dragon ring.
>>23879633The dragon was barely relevant in general. I was really disappointed when I watched Wizard because he looked so cool
>>23879424Gills was forgiven with time, Ryo's actor made a conceited effort and it even seems like his ex-wife doesn't even hold a grudge at this pointObviously not the same thing but that's what one needs with Takahashi, time, it's why you see people wanting Inoue to return to Rider which is something no one would have said years back
>>23879444The guy was given a second chance and it pretty much killed any chance of Mochizuki ever returning to tokusatsu
Driver storage boxes used in sets
>>23879645What the fuck happened with this stageplay (?) anyway, so the story stay the same but they keep rotating cast?There was Gaim team, Go-Busters team, Kiramager team, etc?
>>23879661Pretty cute
>>23879639I know we like repeating the same schizo posts over and over again, but why the fuck are you comparing Gills' actor beating his wife to Takahashi being an overused writer
>>23879690Because it's a joke reply to a joke >>23879424
>>23879375Yeah, because all q1 form changes are stronger than base Zi-O, unlike the usual format where form changes would have advantages and disadvantages. And then you add the whole "Can only kill Another Riders with the correct Watch" requeriment enforced in q1 and Zi-O's base form becomes even more useless.
>>23879370Actually, back when Zi-O was being released, they highlighted the fact Oma Zi-O only had one suit, so they hadn't fallen to that situation yet if Oma only having one suit was considered unusual.
>>23879361>>23879363Yeah, that depends on the directors too. Sakamoto and Shibasaki are two directors that sometimes bring back form changes for old Rides that aren't tied to some big promotional gimmick or story point. Although Shibasaki didn't do it in Beyond Generations since that movie's gimmick was Saber's and Revice's cast cycling through past suits of different Riders.
>>23879704Wait, but if they had multiple suits, then we wouldn't have cases like Blade and Gills where the suits are super fucked up every time they reappear
>>23879647So G5 is just this, but dark blue and different helmet?
>>23879735Nope, it's a modified G3 Mild suit according to one of the post-series info or something.
>>23879645Ayame Misaki needs to have a new nude scene now that she's even hotter dammit
>>23879735One can only dream
>>23879744This is a franchise to sell toys. Just because they couldn't be bothered to build a new G5 suit for the movie, doesn't mean they wouldn't want to sell more figures. And then it will have to be different just enough from both the G6 and G3 Mild.
>already targeting my wifeshe's 17 you sick fuck
>>23879774nice lack of self awareness anon
In regards to the women beating. I've heard he was hit first, and realistically if someone hits you, you have every right to hit back. Gender doesn't matter.
>>23879487Are these those sound figures?
>>23879777What if anon's underage?
>>23879793I've never heard that, I think you're mixing up with Amazon Alpha's actor whose wife beat him and even tried to stab him yet he never tried to beat her upHonestly I don't get how she still has a career but at least he seems OK luckily
>>23879797Then he shouldn't be here
>>23879797less likely than anon being a girl
>>23879724Blade's is an issue with the material. So, anything made at that time with the same transparent plastic will have the yellowing issue.Not sure about Gills though, but it could be the same problem, with suits of the same material degrading together.
>>23879329Girls can't be Kamen Rider
>>23879821Kinoshita disagree
>>23879854Who gives a fuck
https://x.com/marukogerita/status/2058923272377622942
Zeztz close-up suit is really bulky when viewed on side
>>23879893THICKER
>>23879886He was more vile before he joined with Punish Gore.
>>23879854He's also the guy who wrote an anti-vaxxing allegory btw.
>>23879895Anon STOP HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING THICKER
>>23879950He's also a single, childless middle aged man raised by a single mother who wrote a show about family.
>>23879854>>23879868>>23879950>>23879961Samefag
>>23879978Hi Kinoshita
>>23879800aya hirano isnt going to get cancelled for some weak ‘he said she said’ dv charges when she fucked her entire band except the bassist and her career didnt blow over during the actual height of her popularity
>>23879989>her career didnt blowWhat absolutely retarded revisionist history is this? Her career was totally fucking nuked at the height of her popularity for years and it wasn't until rather recently she'd been able to get relatively popular again.
>>23879996Source?
What's the chance that My-Th gonna be revealed internally at Taipei Toy Show?https://x.com/KamenRider_EN/status/2058397579432333811
>>23879387Anon, from a PR point of view even if you didn't do something and everyone believes you did, you can't recover by simply continuting to deny it. Taking the blame and then "learning from your mistakes" moves on from the problem.
>>23880001He continued to beat himself up and accept the blame after retiring as an actor. If they were just lies they would've at least initially fought back against the claims instead of going straight to admitting that they actually happened 2 days after the news came out, even Maya Imamori's shitty agency did this. I don't know why you guys want to hold on to the idea that they were all lies so much when the man himself talked in detail about how he tried to overcome his flaws and change as a person when he was no longer an actor.
>>23879996She still had a career, most people would be retired from the industry forever after a scandal of that magnitude.
>>23879704They talk about regular final forms having only 1 suit pretty often.
>>23879639>>23879697The joke isn't about forgiving Takahashi, it's about how forgives his villains.
>>23880000Very low since I assume Toei will want to reveal Omegahorn before My-Th since that show starts in July while My-Th starts in September>>23879989>he said she saidIt was their neighbors that reported the whole thing and called the police, Aya Hirano and Masashi Taniguchi just quietly divorced without commenting on it
>>23880029Will be so weird to have both shows start so closeWasn't the whole point of having Decade end early to have Kamen Rider and Super Sentai debut further apart to cause as little overlap as possible?
>>23879387Oh yeah, what I meant was there were no charges, not allegations.
>>23879604I don't give a fuck about your hypocritical drivel, I'm not here to tell you to hate the actor nor claim you would be a better person if you did, I'm telling you to stop being delusional and to not get your panties up in a twist over anyone who ever mentions what the actor did instead of accepting it and choosing to forgive him in spite of that. You just hear what you wanna hear, so you view me as some kind of Twitter tranny that's demanding you to ruin the actor's life and boycott everything he ever worked on so you can be a "better person", when the people you side with are the ones who couldn't even handle a mere joke and felt compelled to repeatedly bring up literal misinformation and the fact that others have forgiven him in response.
>Valen is a jobbe-
>>23880057Stop shilling your account
>>23880057It's because the anons complaining here only wanted to count solo wins. That's counting all battles where he helped the side that won.
What are your thoughts on romance in Rider? Has any rider series had good romance elements in it?
>>23880057He's not the one who won most of those fights, Gavv and Vram did it for him. Also, this particular guy can't count for shit.
>>23879329>Suit actor will likely still be Nanako Sakai, and any time she's on screen as Lord Six it makes me diamonds>Probability of Lord Six getting any form of figure just increased, and I'd happily buy both Minami Knight and SixI say that's pretty good news for me, yeah
>>23880068The most homoerotic Rider shows are the best ones.
>>23880068Drive and Den-O come to mind with decent romance but I'm fine with Kamen Rider not having much romanceBut I'm surprised how little romance there is in the franchise considering how common it is in Sentai, I get it's due to the franchise's roots but it's weird that even for side characters it's kinda rare
>>23879329I don't care about the Minami miniseries at all but this could potentially make it to the show like the Cat Nightmare did, and it would be a waste if it didn't.
>>23880073It's not really rare, it's just not usually focused on, nearly every show since Heisei started has had at least 1 or 2 side characters falling in love.
My-th's writer will be Inoue's daughter Akiko.
>>23880112It's sadly likelyGuess this is my monkey paw for wanting her to write a Rider show
>>23880035They probably think it's fine since Omegahorn seems to be continuing Infinity's product line and reusing Emogears.
>>23880113Did you wish for that before or after seeing her work on Gozyuger?
>>23880115Both, I feel like her writing would work decently for a show with less heroes but My-Th's Q1 already has at least 12 riders so she would absolutely fumble the show if she gets picked, same if Komura gets picked for My-Th
>>23879396Juuga still one of the worst things in Reiwa
z>>23879487I just want them to do the Rider Action Figures like Zeztz but for past ridersRider Kicks were good but stickers and weird selection
Why did only Yuya Takahashi and Junko Komura catch on when seemingly Michiko Yokote and Sho Aikawa were also good at scheduling?
>>23879895It's to make up for Michinaga on the beach scene
>>23880123Sho Aikawa got into a disagreement with Shirakura during Decade and that likely plays a role in him barely returning afterwards (only the Wizard crossover finale, a few Toqger episodes and one special, both of these had Utsunomiya as the main producer too, and Go-onger Returns).Michiko Yokote's deal isn't public unlike Sho Aikawa, but it's probably a similar deal. The last show she was heavily involved with was Goseiger which had behind the scenes production issues and even two episodes where no one took credit for the final scripts. It could be Toei snubbing her or her not wanting to return to another year long toku after the mess that was Goseiger's production.
>>23880123>Sho AikawaDisagreements with Shinichiro Shirakura during Decade and then he became president>Michiko YokoteDisagreements with Jun Hikasa during Goseiger then he became president, also rumors that she's actually 3 people>Junko KomuraKept getting hired by Utsunomiya because he felt bad for her + convinient timing with Yasuko Kobayashi basically leaving toku while the 2 writers Kobayashi recommended failed miserably + being one of the cheapest writers Toei can getWhile Takahashi and Komura had some creative differences with Takebe they never complained about it nor gave much of a fight unlike Yokote or even worse Aikawa who straight up quit the show. They also were more critically successful than Shimoyama in Japan although I wouldn't be surprised if he came back one he's done with his manga since despite not being overwhelmingly successful critically, Zi-O and Shinkalion were massive financial successes.>>23880142>even two episodes where no one took credit for the final scriptsThat was because that show's producer Hikasa quit and left the show to his 2 vice producers which just like Hibiki it meant the writer essentially got fired, now unlike Hibiki the new producers managed rehire Yokote which is why she wrote most of the final arc still.
>>23880146>because he felt bad for herWhy would one feel bad for Komura?
>>23880178The way it goes>WizardShe was the first episode writer to get hired due to her being an episode writer of Gokaiger that was available, the actual head writer Kida kept missing schedules so Komura ended up getting prompted for Gokaiger>ZyuohgerUtsunomiya felt bad for her because her first time as head writer was such a chaotic situation like Wizard and was scared it would hurt her career so he hired her again to make a Phantom Thief Sentai, however president Hikasa rejected the idea because he wanted to take it safe after the catastrophe that was Ninninger>LuPatNow that things had changed he wanted to try making the Lupinranger idea again only more ambition this time, since Komura was the one who came up with the idea with him he decided to hire her againThen Utsunomiya got demoted, she got picked for Zenkaiger because the idea of a guy with 4 robot rangers was similar to Zyuohger (also probably because Kobayashi isn't around anymore) and became friends with Takebe during it basically securing her career for the foreseeable future unless Takebe gets promoted into in an executive due to her age
>>23880142I'd always been highly curious about the troubled behind-the-scenes production issues for Decade. Like the show's only thirty episodes long, what could have changed to have caused the falling out between Aikawa and Shirakura? And I think I narrowed it down to one of two possibilities. First off, I don't think toy sales played a factor. The show was only two quarters long. Merchandising and profits could not of played a key role, plus the show had strong sales from start to finish anyway.So Point 1: What is the most noticeable difference in regards to the show's production before and after Aikawa's departure? Actors. None of the episodes written during Aikawa's tenure had any returning actors other than Wataru's in the first episode as well as a handful of voice actors like Sugita voicing Kivat. The SECOND he leaves, all of a sudden we have cameos galore. The World of Den-O is the first and only world in the show in which it's implied that this is actually the original world that Masked Rider Den-O took place in. It's the odd one out, the only one that doesn't fit. Afterwards, we have returning actors all over the place, with the exception of the World of Amazon. I believe that this might have gone against Aikawa's intentions regarding the Nine Worlds. It's worth pointing out that the Nine Worlds of Decade were never properly explained throughout the show's run, but it seems to me that these worlds were NEVER originally meant to share faces with the original shows. I'd imagine that more faces would have returned, but only after the Nine Worlds arc was concluded.
>>23880189Point 2: Production of All Riders VS Dai Shocker would have started sometime at this point. I'm guessing that this movie heavily clashed with what Aikawa had planned and it just couldn't fit with what he was trying to do. The movie and its connections to the show probably 100% derailed everything Aikawa was gonna do, and he couldn't adapt. So he left. This film probably wasn't planned from the outset.I think there were also rumors that there were arguments regarding Diend's character as well, but I dunno how true true they might have been.
>>23880189>what could have changed to have caused the falling out between Aikawa and Shirakura?The leading theory is Diend's backstory because according to an assistant producer that left Toei Aikawa quit because Shirakura made a change to Diend's character without his consentPeople believe that's why Narutaki being scared of Diend never gets brought over again and his connection to Blade/G-Den-O seems so random
>>23880189>It's worth pointing out that the Nine Worlds of Decade were never properly explained throughout the show's run, but it seems to me that these worlds were NEVER originally meant to share faces with the original shows.There were still a couple. The Spider Fangire in Kiva's world was played by his original actor too even out of suit. The weird suit-only Riders Narutaki summons also were the original voices. That said, there is an obvious change as soon as he leaves, yeah.
Decade had one of the better opening sequences. Shame the show never really matched up to the tone.
>>23880386Honestly, this OP feels so much more memorable than Zi-O's.
>>23880386Decade's opening gives this impression of an epic battle/journey with all 10 Riders, Zi-O's has like 3 shots focused on past riders, but mostly focuses on its own cast. The action in the 2nd half of the opening also is very "normal" and doesn't really give any special atmosphere.
>>23880413I think it does its job.
All that matters is that Zi-o solos Decade
>>23880431Decade's cooler though.
>>23880057GotCHAD always wins
>>23880386At least in sound Decade and Drive still have my favorite OPs
>>23880445Getting Gackt was a good call.
>>23880386>>23880393>>23880422Decade's opening is incredible from Gackt to the visuals. It really set a dreary tone that was perfect for describing Tsukasa's journey. I really wish they weren't so aimless and made the ending so messy, because Decade's concept was so good.
>>23880386Decade will always remain one of the biggest wastes of potential in Rider history.
>>23880386Wish we could go back to super artsy visuals like Decade's desu
>>23880441I always liked his fighting style though I can't quite put words into what it is. He's really aggressive and relentless, but not uncoordinated.
>>23880431Shame Toei would prefer using Legends over Zi-O
>>23879329I wonder if Minami will become Knight Seventeen in the show or even the movie considering the Cat Nightmare eventually appeared in the show itself.
>>23880470He's certainly one of the more aggressive main Riders, but he's also pretty well-rounded. He's not as methodical as Kabuto, but not as impatient as Den-O, nor as scrappy as Ryuki. He feels a bit like if you took elements from each previous Heisei Rider and fused them together.
If they fart in suit, does anyone actually smell it? What happens if they throw up? Do they splash themselves in the face?
>>23880475Zi-O's sub-optimal for this role. The problem is he only has nine Legend forms, and he can't get more unless Toei spares the budget for it. Sure he has all the Ridewatches, but he only has forms for Kuuga, Decade, W, OO, Fourze, Gaim, Ghost, Ex-Aid and Build. GrandZi-O only has twenty plaques and can't have any more than that.
Kinda wish W and OOO had proper legend gimmicks like Fourze and Gaim did. I think just transforming into the Rider is kinda boring, since Decade already does that and we don't need more of those. Build was also a waste.
>>23880431They are both piss babies who threw a tantrum, got everyone killed but then reset their fuck up.
>>23880493What happens if both happen at once?
>>23880475>>23880496The anniversary heroes on that short feel weird to me because if Zenkaizer, who's legacy power is just using past attacks or weapons instead of turning into past suits or something like "Sentai Armor," can be included there, so why not Zi-O? I just assume Okuno is too busy even just for a voice role.
>>23880590I remember hearing that Okuno is decently popular right now, so maybe?

lollmao
>>23880849Is it weird that I prefer the sh figuarts proportions more?
so who did become fangire king? the whole company thing made it look like it was taiga, and it also helps wataru is living in his old house
>>23880627he's boroboroda-ing into the blue screen
>>23880496>he can't get more unless Toei spares the budget for itThis is quite literally what Decade Form is for, it allows them to have Zi-O use new Ridewatches with minimal effort, just reuse the undersuit and make two new plates for the Barcode and Face Plate.
>>23880860He knows what he's doing

>>23880849And what exactly is wrong with it? Seems fine to me.
>>23880868I'm guessing his "horns" are a bit long on the SHF? Does look a bit silly.
>>23880872That's just the angle, Dawn has some pretty long horns.
>>23880868You unironically have a low IQ.
>>23880874And you just want to blindly shit on Bandai.

>>23880875No, I'm just not as retarded as you.

>>23880849Watch as the paint on the retail version look different like AmazinGummy, that would be a real bad dream.
>>23880868Look at the armor on his bicep. The purple is supposed to gradually bleed into the pink, but on the SHF it's just pink. At least they were able to replicate the effect on his shoes.
>>23880881You won't even have to wait that long. 2028 is only 2 years away
>>23880849it looks like shit but the fans will eat it up anyway
>>23880890I mean, what other options are there? Blokes?
>>23880893using plamo skills to fix it
>>23880894Yeah, but that doesn't answer the initial problem of fans buying subpar merch because of a lack of options
>Triple Zetzer nothingburger>Orderm nothingburger>ExDream lost within 2 episodes in a pathetic wayI can't imagine this being Takahashi's fault. He's usually been pretty good at the toy shilling hype aspect
>>23880909Blame the new producer I guess.
>>23880909He wasn't very good with the toy shilling in Geats. PunkJack is one of the "main" Riders but he's missing for most of the show, all but two of the Fever Forms never show up past their debut, Command and Powered Builder are barely used in favor of showcasing the base forms, Geats IX spent a good chunk of its screentime just fighting mooks and letting the enemies get away, etc.Also Exdream being written out the way it was is entirely Takahashi's fault.
>>23880909>I can't imagine this being Takahashi's fault.The fuck are you talking about, he's the one writing the damn show.
>>23880916preasu undahstandu
>>23880900That's just how Bandai is. They will sell shitty figuarts. They will sell overpriced bricks(Sentai, Project red) because they can.

With Toujima, Fuuto PI and Sentai Red Isekai getting really good ratings in Japan, what are the chances of Kamen Rider Spirits finally getting an adaptation? Surely the author has gotten over his autism after all these years right?
>>23881118Kamen Rider Spirits getting an adaption is my toku anime white whale
>>23881118Higher than before but even then it isn't happening anytime soon since there hasn't been a trademark and currently the only project that has been announced for the new animated label is a CGI movie for 2028So at least there won't be any more for this year, we'll have to wait and see in 2027 to see if they announced something new, I'd say the likeliest things to happen are either a S2 for Tojima and Fuuto PI or sadly an adaptation of the Inoue Kuuga manga
Is this suit still around? I remember seeing it very briefly in Decade but I don't remember seeing it since?
It's a very nice suit even though its introduction and usage didn't have much impact, probably one of my favorites of all time alongside Geats IX

>>23881130>Miyazawa is starting to wallnyo....>>23881126>>23881123I assume the suit is still around but I think the last time it was used was for the crossover special finale of Wizard
>>23881123When Zi-O Ohma did its finisher do they use stock or do they actually film a new Rider Kick with all final forms?
>>23881123>>23881139It was in the Zi-O summer movie when all Heisei Riders used their final forms. Note unlike the scans were implying, it wasn't just a finisher. You got all previous Heisei Riders transforming into their final forms on screen rather than being just summoned for an attack.
