What's with the Mobile Suits crotch?

>>22637326
To enter the cockpit. At least that's how Turn A's worked.

Storage, AMBAC, armor, thrusters, landing gear, sensors, lots of reasons OP.

>>22637326
Barzam's is a port for an energy tube (as long as we aren't going into AoZ variations).
ReZEL's is inherited from Methuss so it's likely part of the transformation.

>>22639295
When it comes to the Methuss transformation, the body sorta scrunches up and the empty space inside the hook is kinda filled up by the torso lowering down into it.

On the ReZEL the hook doesn't do the same thing since it doesn't quite have the same body. The hook extends lower in MA mode and it's used as a hardpoint to hold its shield and beam rifle.

Actually this. Apparently the human body's center of gravity is actually at the crotch/tummy.

Why would they put the sensor at the crotch

Designed like what? Each MS in the pic has a radically different pelvic design.
>>22637352

Absolutely correct answer.

>Crotch vulcans when

>>22641166
>Why would they put the sensor at the crotch

The Flipper is a dedicated Recon machine, and the whole gimmick is that the tri-eye head bit can flip 180 degrees vertically, the crotch sensor suite makes sense since it gives it a fixed forward pov, that frees up the head to swivel around in any direction without loss of a forward picture.

>the useless Kyoryuger arc
Anon, are you talking about the new one or the first one during the main King-Ohger season?

>>22637822
it's one fucking episode you baby. I'm not even a Go-Onger fan and I had no problem with it.

>>22637822
The King-Ohger-Kyoryuger crossover was great though, this episode was just lame.

Fun episode, excited to see Black Boonboomger Robo next week, evil doppelgangers of hero robots are my weakness.

>>22637842

>2008 show's stock footage now looked like it came from the 90's
The reel had degraded i guess.

[Over-Time] Cranked-Up Sentai Boonboomger - 12 [E14DB59E].mkv_snapshot_14.26.243.jpg

This episode made me feel warm inside. I dont know why but this feels like a better homage than 10y GP did.

Sosuke's looking rough. I know he has to have his iconic ridiculous anime hair, but Furuhara's puffy face and wrinkles really don't gel with it. He's firmly in "how do you do fellow kids?" territory now.

>>22638030
It's due to no hd. If it had been the 2009 show they'd have been fine.

>>22638088
It was a pretty much just an excuse for the homage scenes, while the 10 Years Later was trying to be a (relatively) darker plot even if the conclusion was back to "normal". It depends on what you want out of these things.

>>22638320
go-onger was 720p while power rangers was still in sd
kyoryuger was the first 1080p sentai

>>22638264
Sosuke always looked kind of rough to be honest. Even in the original show they made some jokes that he looked kind of old for his age. If anything it's true to the character.

>>22638656
>>22638264
Supposedly Go-On Silver's actress and him were fat shaming each other behind the scenes and that helped kept both their weight down, according to their chat on Furuhara's YT last year.

>>22638264
>>22638656
I think that's part of Sosuke's charm. I feel like he was the last Red where they really just picked an actor instead of specifically aimed for the housewife audience. There's at least a 10 year span of "clean cut" Reds, maybe more depending on your definition, and so the more atypical looking ones will just naturally be more noticeable.

>>22638592
That explains the difference in quality in PR Samurai when using Shinkenger footage.
>go-onger was 720p while power rangers was still in sd
I feel PR did it dirty by not moving to 16:9 in Operation Overdrive when Boukenger did.

>Maybe try again newfag becuase Saber is full of CG garbage, same for Wizard, Revice was just underwhelming in general
You clearly haven't watched them if you somehow think the amount of CGI in them is significantly more than their contemporaries, and that they all didn't have great choreography to more than make up for it.

>>not even mentioning Kuuga when it has a fuckton of amazing stunts
I just don't find the action to be as consistent as the other Phase 1 shows I mentioned, plus I feel like the overall choreography is lacking. Its highlight were the bike scenes.

>be less obvious with your samefagging
Cry harder, fag.

Will we ever have another Odagiri effect?

Spanner would have become a monster from inheriting Gigist’s flame, but instead he retains his human form… for some reason.

>>22637677
Anon, the Odagiri effect has been happening every year since Kuuga.

Does anyone have the songs the Gotchard cast sang during that stage event?

That suit was pretty much a kitbash from several other suits. Toei is not willing to make one off Kaijin suits nowadays, unless it has long lasting usage.

Repost

From Color

>Theatrical Boss Mode is when the handle is closed.

>When the handle is pulled away, it transforms into TV BOSS mode

>Because one of the features of the new belt is that the empty circle in the middle of the handle is filled into a panel

>The content of the panel is the three eyes of Gigist, and the circle around the LED screen is changed to a tail-biting snake.

>So it's reasonable to suspect that Gigist will be using the belt with the changed colors and molds to turn into a new boss to fight!

>And the theatrical version of the BOSS is very likely to be Geryon now, after all, the side card slot has a golden Rubik's Cube exterior.

>The new belt changes the silver areas of the original Dread Belt to a brownish-red color, and the door, Tesseract Exterior, and tube are gold.

Kitazaki just shrugged them off while untransformed. They literally did noting to him. Meanwhile the OG Faiz exceed charge actually hurt/killed him. Therefore OG > Next.

>>22637855

He got knocked back and decided he needed to transform into Muez, which can predict Next Faiz's attacks.

Nigga, he did, I literally rewatched the movie.

>>22637889
He doesn't, he literally just tanks it and it doesn't faze him.

>>22637729
If you wanna redo Zenkaizer-Twokaizer dynamic, yeah.

>>22637950
its already a decade knock-off, why stop there?

One correction: Gigist is the creator of the Primordial Chemies, he's not a Chemy himself.

While I love Hikawa and Ozawa, you could remove everything G3 in Agito and the narrative would not be impacted ar all.<br>The show would lose something, but they mean nothing to the overall story and are a hold over from it being a Kuuga sequel.

>>22637967
Nigga Hikawa's TADA NO NINGEN opened the way for Agito to Rider Kick God, without him that never would have happened

>>22637713
Well no shit, Geryon won in Daybreak's timeline

>>22637974
It would have happened without him.

>>22637967
Dude the whole point of G3 is showing the potential of normal humans being about to forget back the Lords without any special Agito powers. It definitely does impact the narrative.

>>22637967
It might not change anything when it truly comes to the main plot but something would be very much lost without the police department crew and G3/G3-X. I wouldn't want Hikawa, Ozawa and Hoji gone at all. Especially Ozawa that beer-chugging goddess.

>>22637967
I wish G3 would make an appearance again or something similar in concept.

>>22637872
>green highlights on card
>no green on the form
???

>>22637981
It really wouldn't, they are inconsequential.

>>22637991
Same. I think the closest Rider to feel like G3 in concept, and even that is still far and even reaching, is Birth.

God I just want a Shinkocchou G3 already, with the weapons.

One small thing I really liked about Faiz is how he had to manually strap the belt instead of it being created out of thin air by the driver, I wish a new series would do that again.

>>22637647
Predict this form's number of appearances in the Reiwa Phase 1 Anniversary. I'd be laughing if Xross Saber and Gavv's final form is somehow used more than Rainbow

>>22638328
It's not like G3 did any damage with its power regarding that resolution, it really was more about normal humans standing up against the overlord's will. So, yeah, you could play out that plot without the G3 armor as long as you had some normal human in the main cast helping Shoichi.

>>22638063
That's a Custom, not a proper upgrade.

There are things I like about both but might end with Turn Up for subbing things like insert songs and more text seems to be subbed.
What does /krg/ use for older series?

>>22638440
The shinning moment of G3-X in that sense was in the finale when it beat an El, way after the point where the Overlord of Darkness had decided humanity in general had to go. So, yeah, the armor's power had nothing to do with it.

This guy went from the most annoying characters to one of the funniest

>>22638015
>Same. I think the closest Rider to feel like G3 in concept, and even that is still far and even reaching, is Birth.
What about some of the ones from Kabuto or IXA?

>>22638680
>Is it worth maybe seeing them in action still?

Not at all. The show is just bad. At this point I'm just hate-watching it. All Gotchard proves is that all those people clamoring for an episodic motw show after Geats got what they wanted in the worst way possible like so many people said would happen.

>>22638748
I will take the worst of Gotchard over whatever the fuck that last quarter of Geats was

>>22638748
I still think it is a tiny bit better than Geats, but the bar is so low it is pathetic that Gotchard even gets that close. Once characters start losing and regaining powers with zero explanation and get personality disorders that cause them to act out of character for no reason it will be worse since one thing I will say about Geats is that the acting wasn't distractingly bad and annoying. Geats had a very predictable story too, Gotchard at least has me slightly guessing only because I don't even think the writers know what the fuck they are going to do next.
Geats is the only 1/10 on my ranking of riders since there was basically nothing I liked about it besides early Keiwa and Neon's dad (and even then only barely since he is attached to Neon), but if Gotchard manages to be worse I might move it up to 2/10 with Revice since I cannot in good faith put Geats in the same tier as something as bad as itself but with shitty acting too.

>>22638670
Kinda but not really? Theres more things happening now and it isn't as paint by numbers as it was but its still pretty bad. Not ghost bad though.

>>22638748
>unironically hate-watching
Ew

>>22638726
I thought that was TM Revolution

>>22638763
>Not ghost bad though.
Ghost had a more charismatic cast compared to Gotchard though. There's tons of plot things you can shit on Ghost for but the only weak characters were Makato and Takeru off the top of my head. Oh, and the villains.
Meanwhile it's easier to list characters who aren't shitty in Revice and afterwards.
Saber was a mixed bag in a ton of ways but I at least liked a couple of characters even if I thought it was bad over all, it was more of an entertaining/funny bad where I was morbidly curious as to what was happening next episode compared to Revice and onward where I just want the fucking show to end.

>>22638680
If you like those two, then yeah, maybe you will enjoy it because they are among the few good things in the show. But don't hold your breath for anything else, because Gotchard's writing is still very middle of the road.

>>22638748

>>22638123
Black Sun doesn't even have cool action. Sometimes it feels like it's embarassed to be a Kamen Rider because of how brief the fight scenes can be.

>>22638898
As far as length of action, it's not really very different from early Heisei. Often you could have episodes that only had action for a cliff hanger and then a quick resolution at the start of the next week. That said, yeah, the action that we did get would usualyl flashier than Black Sun's.

From what I get, the dark sisters' tangential plans or specials will not be audio only from now on. Wonder which filming studio they will use. Thanks to Lachesis switching sides, they can use hero and villain's hideouts, and nobody would bat an eye.

Hotaro's family's restaurant would be a funny pick.

Hibiki is a good bet. The one person I know who refused to watch Kamen Rider until I tricked them into it and they started liking it tried watching Hibiki on another person's suggestion years earlier and hated it for some reason.

God I wish Reiwa was better. I keep trying to get invested - the middle of Saber had me excited and then Revice...I fucking hate Revice. I was so fucking invested and loving it until every single part of the show I liked was forgotten, subverted or removed.

Geats had some elements I liked but didn't really fully catch me, if there wasn't a Purple Rider with a zombie form that fought with a Chainsaw i'd probably dislike it even more.

Now Gotchard is...well, it's a middling season. I'd probably like it more if not for watching it as it comes out but damn, it's crazy to me thinking back that some parts of fucking Zi-O were more fun and engaging for me than most of rider content afterwards for the next 5 years.

do rider helmets have a softer stunt version or something? some of them seem very pointy

>>22639099
Thanks, it works.

>>22639101

>>22639112
Yeah you're in the...well, let's just say this period of the show is kind of a slump.

>>22639002
The Hurricane is a Honda XR250. The Machine Builder is a Honda XR230.

>>22639106
>the middle of Saber had me excited
Did you finish the show?

>>22639120
Not that anon, but it's fairly common to see people who dislike Storious and were hoping he wasn't the final villain, so that hurts the entire end-game.

>>22639106
I feel like Geats would've been much more engaging if they continued the survival game aspect without as many resets that the main four survive each time. The inter dimensional reality show things is a very intriguing concept but that's kinda where it fell off for me when they revealed that and Suel was just painfully boring compared to Girori and Niram or even Jitt really.

Gotchard would be better if it knew how to keep it's momentum. There's no denying that the show has some really good moments and build ups that peaks your interest like with Dread's arc and the confrontation with Geryon, but then immediately follows with something else or a status quo side adventure like the village arc or the Romeo and Juliet shit. It doesn't help that Hotaro and Rinne are objectively uncharismatic leads.

>>22639122
>but it's fairly common to see people who dislike Storious and were hoping he wasn't the final villain
I'm not sure what you're on about because I remember during airing, it was definitely the opposite. People were hoping for Storious to become the final villain and it wasn't until he started doing the retarded raspy voice that people were off put.

>>22639120
It still had good stuff, don't get me wrong. I loved Primitive Dragon being relevant in the final fight, for example. It just lost a tiny bit of steam for me. For me, HONESTLY, if Storious had just kept the voice he'd used for the first 3/4ths of the show, I would've rated the show like 15% better, unironically.

>>22639125
Yes, I agree with Suel being completely lacking in charisma compared to the other game masters, 100%. Even Jitt had a ton of charm, especially before he got a Rider suit and was just beating people with a fucking baton. But yeah, the future reality show had some cool ideas but a lot weren't fully explored. Mostly just lots of wasted potential, in my opinion, overall I liked the show well enough. The only season in Reiwa I didn't at least finish was Revice.

I pretty much agree whole-heartedly with Gotchard, as well. It has a lot of good stuff, and all it takes to at least keep me watching a show is a handful of good suit designs and at least ONE character I like to latch onto, and it has handled that at least, but I was honestly expecting more out of the show. The constant peak of new interesting idea followed by slow stuff certainly isn't great, but I feel like that might be ameliorated by watching it once the entire show is out and not week by week.

>>22639112
This episode has lived rent free in /krg/'s mind for years.

>>22639134
Really? I barely remember anything about that episode, I couldn't even give a basic outline of the plot, it just get lumped in with the slop that was the job arc for me.

>>22639135
Because "black guy yelling."
I knew it would the moment I saw the preview as Zero-One was airing.

>>22639137
I dunno I feel like you're overstating how much people talk or care about Chekera. If anything, the only reason he does is that a black actor in Kamen Rider stands out amongst the repetitive arc it was a part of.

Clotho's going to make a wonderful stepmommy for Nijigon!

>>22639125
>There's no denying that the show has some really good moments and build ups that peaks your interest like with Dread's arc and the confrontation with Geryon, but then immediately follows with something else or a status quo side adventure like the village arc or the Romeo and Juliet shit
Are you new or something? They're called breather episodes, shows usually have them after reaching a climax while they set up the new status quo in the background.

Rider didn't continuously ramp things up without any breaks until the Gaim format came. This is a mostly episodic show, not a serialized one.

>>22639134
>>22639137
It's mostly because the episode was fucking awful, the black Humagear being the only one to chimp out on his own and not get reconstructed afterwards just added fuel to the fire.

Remember when Heaven's Tornado was considered one of the worst arcs?

>>22639158
There's two reasons for that: first, standards were a lot lower at the time, and second, W is almost perfect. W is monstrously better than at least the previous five years of Rider shows that came before it, and Heaven's Tornado only stands out because the rest of W is so good.

>>22639163
>Monstrously better than
>Decade: Okay, I can see that
>Kiva: Yeah, I personally love it but it's at least popularly hated
>Den-o: Many people would disagree
>Kabuto: Many people would disagree
>Hibiki: I guess so

>Heaven's Tornado is the only slump in W
lol

>>22639175
>Kabuto: Many people would disagree
You’re a contrarian

>>22639152
>the black Humagear being the only one to chimp out on his own and not get reconstructed afterwards just added fuel to the fire.
to be fair, the human actor storyline also had an awful and abrupt ending
the guy got shot by a humagear he trusted and that's it, his story was over
the man never reappears or gets closure

>>22639163
>W is monstrously better than at least the previous five years of Rider shows that came before it
Kabuto flubbed the ending but I think almost everything else was done better in it. Den-O I think is strictly better than W. I agree with the rest since even though I think Kiva is about the same level of quality as W it lets me down a bit. Though I don't think W is especially good either, just okay.

>>22639152
>It's mostly because the episode was fucking awful,
I remember it as being hilarious specifically because of the chimpout

CHECK IT OUT DID NOTHING WRONG<br>HUMANS ARE THE PROBLEM

>>22639125
>Gotchard would be better if it knew how to keep it's momentum. There's no denying that the show has some really good moments and build ups that peaks your interest
I hate that possibly the most interesting aspect related to alchemy, the homunculi, isn't the main focus of the show. Don't get me wrong, I still like the 3 sisters and for the most part their few scenes have been good. It's just that every character's screentime and development comes to a halt or is forgotten for multiple episodes because the "over 100 Chemies" gimmick gets in the way of the narrative.

I think having to shill over a hundred pieces of cardboard is probably the most intrusive and troublesome objective any writer has had to deal with when working on a Rider show. Whatever writing effort that could have gone into the story or its cast, went instead into the Pokémon knock-offs. I think this is the reason Gotchard cannot keep up a momentum.

Take Geryon as an example. The formerly main bad guy showed up just to get replaced by villains who had as a gimmick using the powers of old Riders and now by a super rare Chemy they need to shill. Or how about pausing the plot for Legend shilling. As if having to sell over 101 Chemy cards through Gotchard's series wasn't already troublesome enough.

>>22639175
>>22639273
Even if some people today claim Kabuto's plot is good, which it's not, they certainly didn't think it was good at the time. Kabuto was a show that was recommended as many people's first Rider circa 2010 for two reasons: first, because the suits are still the best the franchise has ever had and had the special effects to back them up. Second, because the plot is a mess and people wanted new fans to be aware that Rider shows would very often turn into a mess. Between the last five years before it and the fact that older shows like Kuuga weren't subbed until years later, the reaction on /m/ to W when it aired was genuine shock that Rider shows could actually be good.

>>22639112
This is why this guy refused to be rebuilt. He genuinely hates Hiden Intelligence, which disqualified them on the spot.

>>22639073
Glowing suit fight is one of those things that never got past the OP because there's just no budget or time for it.

...until the movie where it got both the extra budget as well as it being delayed giving the production team additional time to really nail the choreography. <s>I really fucking hate the V-Cinema because it squandered all the goodwill RealXTime brought back for Zero One for me, I was willing to forgive the show's issue purely off the strength of that movie, and then Takashi shat out the two V-Cinema</s>

>>22639303
Then Outsiders overridden those endings, and it could result in Aruto returning a broken mess from losing everyone. Just watch.

>>22639294
This. I'd also add in third that its the first show with decent quality raw and sub (for TVN obaka-san-tachi standard anyway). Faiz, Blade and Hibiki had some horrific TV rip raws, with Faiz being borderline unwatchable. Fuck them for raising donation for the DVD release and then stalling at the halfway mark for half a decade as well.

>>22639293
The Chemys are technically homunculi.

>The formerly main bad guy showed up just to get replaced by villains who had as a gimmick using the powers of old Riders and now by a super rare Chemy they need to shill
Gigist isn't a Chemy and he was clearly in control of the situation when Hundred came to Gotchard's world. It's also not like they didn't set him up long before we even saw Geryon.

>Or how about pausing the plot for Legend shilling
It literally wasn't, it kept advancing despite the weird setup and Legend might be important later on since they don't seem to be done with him.

>>22639294
>Even if some people today claim Kabuto's plot is good
I didn't claim that, I said they fucked up the ending and that isn't even bringing up some of the bizarre pacing, but I get the rest of your point regardless. I like Kabuto for the characters, suits, and decent chunks of the plot up until Hyper Zecter.
That being said though, I don't think W's plot or pacing is particularly great either.
It is more consistent than Kabuto's (until the ending where it make a similar bunch of strange decisions even the final villain for Kabuto had more build up than W - for Den-O and W it was about the same from some random showing up), but for the beginning portions it takes a long time to introduce Terui and scarf man is basically never brought up again for some reason, while the middle portion is really good up until Terror dies and the house burns, but the rest of the series after that feels like it doesn't even need to be there or that it would have been better for Foundation X to have not been the main villains and instead for the sisters to take that role with Foundation X supporting instead of the other way around. I also feel like they sideline Shotaro for pretty big parts of the ending to focus on other stuff (even literally scarring him off from fighting), and I think they could have paced it much better. Den-O I feel had much better pacing as a slow burn type of series that mostly focused on MOTW and characters.
That being said I could at least see there being a debate on what is better between W and Kabuto. Not with Den-O though, I consider Den-O to be better in almost every way.

Also for personal taste, I don't like most of the W suits since the colors clash too hard except Accel and Fang. I wasn't particularly impressed with Den-O's suits either but I still like them more than W and for Kabuto - well you already said how goof they are even if I don't think they are the best (I think blade has the overall best suits myself).

>>22639303
I also didn't like the v cinema. For me, the movie is the true ending and epilogue of Zero One.

I'm catching up with gotchard and honestly his Fire Gotchard rider kick in 18 might be the first main character rider kick I can think of in years that I thought actually looked cool.

chaining self to ground to power up engine and then just launching incredibly fast to do a relatively straightforward jumping kick instead of turning into a cgi prop or doing 40 sky flips, honestly refreshing.

>>22639334
>>22639303
I didn't mind the first one because I liked Kamen Rider Zaia a lot, very charismatic enemy, but it was better when I assumed the Kamen Rider MetsubouJinrai thing (which was stupid at the time) would at least have a decent payoff or solution in the Fuwa V-Cinema, but instead it got a shit payoff AND they killed off Fuwa for no real reason.

>>22639334
Usually I consider movies to be noncanon since they basically never matter, make no sense, or are bad - but I actually like the Zero-One movie and think very much the same of it.
>>22639336
It is a cool finisher for sure.
What was the last kick you though was cool? There were a couple from Zero-One that I liked, but the one I always think of as cool is the Drive one where he ricochets off of Tridoron a bunch, for some reason I just really like it

I don't like Gotchard because they called the homunculus "chemys".

>>22639336
Fire Gotchard has some pretty cool scenes even after the debut.

>>22639341
It's been at least since heisei that I remember one I really like. I'm sure Zero One had one or two that were decent, and I know for a FACT that Zero One, Saber and Geats had some FINISHERS that I thought were cool, but none of those were rider kicks.

My favorite is still Kabuto after all these years, mostly because non-jumping rider kicks are always really cool to me. Agito's base form rider kick is still one of my favorites after all these years, in terms of just a very basic Rider Kick done well.

>>22639344
I miss this nigga like you wouldn't believe. Gavv, please bring him back.

>>22639347
>My favorite is still Kabuto after all these years, mostly because non-jumping rider kicks are always really cool to me
His is pretty decent. Kabuto in general feels like one of those characters in a fighting game who mostly uses those parry special moves to counter attacks and then hits back really fucking hard.
For me my favorite is probably the Faiz kick or Fouze drill kick - both are basically the same and I don't feel like I need to explain why I like them

>>22639352
I can totally get behind putting either of those first, no explanation needed, yes.

>>22639353
Their "relationship" is so fucking forced.

I can't believe the last non-rider enemy that I can remember that both looked cool, was intimidating, and had a defined personality, without the monster form just being a stepping stone was fucking five years ago.

Revice got close but then it threw any attempt to use Deadmans and their forms into the dumpster less than halfway through.

>>22639356
They work as polar opposite friends.

>>22637661
she's so cute bros. she's my wife.

>>22639369
>You mean four years ago.
Not him but final boss was a rider in Saber

>>22639369
/fitlit/ a best
The forced Saber hate in here is gay and stupid.

>>22639369
Hm. I forgot about them. I'll dock some marks for Storious getting a rider form, but desast only got one in side media later and Legiel and Zoous never did.

I saw more saber the other night. still in the first arc, pre ep 15. kento is kind of cool. I kind of actually enjoyed eps 5-8.

>>22639374
>>22639369
>>22639359
Still, it being 4 years instead of 5 really isn't much better. The point still stands.

>>22639372
Yes, but 3 of them (plus Charybdis) remained as monsters throughout the show.

>>22639369
>Storious
Trash design and character
>Forgot this guys name
Looks cool, most unmemorable character of all time.
>Zooous
Meh design, good enemy to Blades
>Desast
Looks cool, was cool
2/4 are good

>>22639375
Watch the Retsudens/Swordsmen Chronicles, they enhance the Q1 experience.

>>22639378
>Yes, but 3 of them (plus Charybdis) remained as monsters throughout the show.
One of them didn't even last until the half way point, I will give credit for the other two even though one of them got a suit post show.

>>22639369
I will never forget Storious' glowing eyes.

>>22639359
What about the Archimedel, Daichi Kekera and Beroba?

>>22639392
None of those were intimidating. I would fuck hag but only to demoralize her, not because I would enjoy it.

>>22639392
Archimedel was only a threatening enemy for a few episodes, Daichi had a Rider form, and Kekera and Beroba also technically had rider forms even if they were cgi monstrosities.

>>22639125
>then immediately follows with something else or a status quo side adventure like the village arc or the Romeo and Juliet shit.
Serialized Rider has spoiled you people. Are the shows not allowed to let their characters be themselves without the plot being present? I argue that some of the breather and comedic episodes actually make the characters more memorable and not just walking plot advancers and exposition machines.

Forget coomer or waifu posting, Lachesis is legitimately my favorite Gotchard character at this point. She's more than pretty looks, unlike Beroba, and already better handled than Aguilera.

If more females were on par with Izu or at least Lachesis and Tsumuri tier, fans wouldn't mind seeing more girls get prominent roles in Reiwa KR.

>>22639413
So proud of her experiment daughter

>>22639405
>Daichi had a Rider form, and Kekera and Beroba also technically had rider forms even if they were cgi monstrosities.
All of them stopped being Riders when they became kaijin (well Beroba transformed one last time into her Rider form afterwards, but she barely used it anyways).

>>22639413
>Tsumuri tier
So a female character that barely does anything at all?

>>22639413
>Forget coomer or waifu posting,
I don't do this and I still don't get what makes her standout for all you people. Not saying she's bad or anything but she's just okay. I like Gotchard a lot but I don't see how people make her out to be the "Only reason to watch the show" thing.

>>22639380
where does that fit in the continuity. I never watch any of the extra stuff but I just might if its good

>>22639447
Watch Buster and Slash's between episodes 8 and 9, Kenzan's between 9 and 10, Espada's between 13 and 14 (it chronologically happens during episode 13), and Blades' between 15 and 16.

You might wanna watch The Phoenix Swordsman short movie too, it's kinda plot relevant, after-credits scene included. You can watch it between episodes 10 and 11.

>>22637647
No episode this week? Where's the link? Nyaa results in bringing up nothing.

She's not "hot" though. Izu (before she got fat) was hot. Rinne's just a normal Asian girl.

>>22639508
Her face is better. Ep1 Izu still has a jellybean face.

>>22639516
Rinne has fish face so nah. Pretty much all the main girls in Geats were hotter.

>>22639508
Izu is cute but I wouldn't say that she's hot

>>22639595
No one ever called Izu hot during the original live run. It was more like she was a 3D anime waifu that everyone (mostly) liked cause she did anime girl-esque things.

okay im back to watching zero one today, honestly if it goes downhill after this rap episode i'll just zero one wasnt even that great before this. The action is mostly unremarkable, aruto can't put up a fight at all until he gets a power up again. there wasn't even a single good fight with his base form after it's debut

>>22640066
Nothing is true.
Everything in this world is a lie.
Don't trust the first person wearing green nor the fourth wearing pink.

>>22640093
Anons went wild when this episode aired

>>22639943
>>22639945
I love how gross it looks. The most unique rider belt for a lead in years.

>>22639943
I hope the belt goes "gabu gabu" when you crank the handle

What's the worse belt design we've gotten?

>>22640161
The one on page 5 of your English textbook, SEA-kun.

>>22640161
ghost is by far the worst
its huge, cluncky, and the pose for it is bad

>>22640161
Maybe the ghost belt for being just a big grey block

Please tell me that ryoutarou stops being a fruity bitch at some point in the series. Its so obnoxious.

>>22640175
i'd say ghost is poorly executed, if you remove the cover you can see a very nice design, it should have been a yokai focused season and not whatever that mess was

>>22640141
The Swordriver and the Revice Driver were pretty unique imo.

>>22640171
>>22640175
A belt that's designed so that its big eye is always looking straight at you no matter which angle you look at it from could never be the worst design.

>>22640179
The cover is transparent though.

>>22639338
I'm starting to think that Takahashi killed off Fuwa because Okada approached him and told him he'd like to quit showbiz after the show concluded.

>>22640203
This is one of my favorite drivers. I love the goofy sheet over the spooky face

>>22640203
its also 8 inches thick from your waist
and the majority of the belt isn't dedicated to the part that is actually the transforming part

>>22639943
Fake.
It from the same dude that render Gavv before

>>22640208
>its also 8 inches thick from your waist
You can't pull off the creepy eye gimmick I mentioned without some depth space.

>the majority of the belt isn't dedicated to the part that is actually the transforming part
It's not empty space though, there's intricate molding all over it.

>>22640161
The Swordriver looked ugly as fuck, especially when the big books are attached.

>>22640211
Even if fake it's very similar to Color's leaked design >>22640140

>>22640175

>>22640232
No more Takahashi or Takahashi influence series

>>22640203
will they finally top the ghost driver for most ugly belt next season?

>>22640232
More Takahashi. It would be surprising if he isn't writing Gavv.

When are we getting Zi-O's version of Legend that can use RideArmors of any Rider regardless of forms? It can be like DecadeArmor for the non-base forms

>>22640254
Never because his actor got too big for rider.

>>22640249
It would be though. Writers usually get at least 2 years break (Inoue not withstanding). He was working on Ride Kamens as well. I'm a Takahashi fan and even I wouldn't really want his shows back-to-back or every odd year.

>Takahashi fans
Worst posters in this general

>>22640257

2025 yeah, not 2024. His last two shows have had cool designs/theming. I kinda want to see him tackle something zany again like Ex-Aid

>>22640232
Another legacy Rider that uses cards but this time it's RideArmors and with no stash

Can't believe the thing I'm most excited for this year (Gavv not withstanding) in Rider is the Premium DX Geats IX buckle. Rest of the year has mostly been a snorefest and taking a break from the franchise.

>>22640265
Can't wait for ANOTHER"dark rider" arc that virtually changes nothing for a character once it's over. And the shitty CEO hamming it up, doing horrible things but then "redeeming himself" because the character was popular thanks to everyone else being significantly more lame than him.
Can't wait.

>>22640232
More Taka-P/Hasegawa/Fukuda trio shows.

>>22640283
Shut the fuck up already, Geatshill.

>>22640289
The main body is red, and then there's a big button on the left side, and the lemon dude drawing is closer to the real thing than the draft drawing I posted earlier, whichever is the lemon one

>>22640291
You really hate Geatsfans with a passion, huh

>>22640283
>and taking a break from the franchise.
Then why are you here

>>22640232
Re-normalize the concept of villains transforming with belts, but they aren’t Kamen Riders

>>22640276
Why? It's his worst written and worst looking show.

>>22640283
You're way too eager to announce you got scammed by Bandai into buying a better version of a toy you bought just months ago.

>>22640301
Ex-Aid is his best-written show.

>>22640301
Just saying. It's interesting when the writers have to come up with some wacko world-building bullshit to contextual the toylines with weirder motifs. Takahashi's had it easy with Zero-One and Geats being cool tech (not a bad thing), but I'd just like to see him tackle something weirder again. I'm not saying he should do another Ex-Aid wholesale.

>>22640232
That's easy. Just get Ohmori.

>>22640295
So the purple on the left is a button, not a belt strap.

>>22640310
Biggest giveaway that it's fake is them just straight up using the build driver handle.

>>22640311
I will never forgive Ohmori for the job arc. He can stay gone. Zero-One would've unironically been even better if Takahashi could've just executed the ideas he wanted for the show.

>>22640312
I was about posted the lemon guy sketch but yeah, this sketch from lemon guy is closer to the real one according to color

>>22640308
It's the only show of his that doesn't go to complete shit past Q1. At most it just drags when Masamune comes around.

>>22640313
Yes, that was part of the leak. You turn the handle and the belt munches on the snack.

>>22640317
>It's the only show of his that doesn't go to complete shit past Q1
False

>>22640319
It will have a unique handle, not a reused one.

>>22640317
The only good part of Ex-Aid is Q2. The rest is middling to dragging unless you're all-in on Kuroto's/Masamune's nonsense

>>22640327
>unless you're all-in on Kuroto's/Masamune's nonsense
They're way more fun than any of the villains in Zero-One and Geats, so yeah.

>>22640332
>dude fun lmao
Good-fucking-good for you. I hated the two of them overstaying their welcome. We're still cursed with Kuroto to this day

>>22640333
Your levels of shit taste are maximum.

>>22640334
>I hated the two of them overstaying their welcome
As opposed to Gai, Daichi and Beroba overstaying theirs?

>We're still cursed with Kuroto to this day
I hate it too, but I'm only talking about the shows themselves, not any of the side content that came afterwards.

Kuroto but as a heroine/anti heroine rider.

>>22640342
>Gai, Daichi and Beroba
They all overstayed their welcome to different extents, but they weren't a suffocatingly constant presence to the same extent Kuroto and his dad were. Even Gai, he may have overstayed, but he mostly became a side show punching bag, whereas Ex-Aid made every effort to continue focusing on Kuroto and Masamune

>>22639369
No, definitely five yers ago saber was trash

>>22639126
I think people expected him to be the final villain once he still was going "just as planned" in the background even while Solomon was about to destroy the world, but I don't remember people -liking- him.

>>22640254
That'd need way too many new props. Heck, when the Ride Armors didn't have some part of their design obviously limiting their abilities (like Build having giant rabbit tank bottles), they already mixed up the alternate form powers sometimes (like Ghost Armor summoning spirits of the alternate Ghost forms).

>>22640254
>>22640260
Ride Armors are no where near as iconic as Decade literally turning into the rider.

Also they’re all shit and lazily designed. all of them are just put the collectible as shoulder pads and call it a day

>>22640373
Why not just turn into the Rider but with the Japanese name faceplate and without the shoulderpads

i hate how horobi appears and after that hes involved like twice before he gets btfo'd and the show goes into job arc. it looks like horobi's back now, i'm on the episode after fuwa gets rampage vulcan, it's a cool suit i like it.

>>22640389
I liked the debut fight where he just absolutely manhandles Yua

>>22640402
And when he just styles on Gai.

>>22640414
He's talking about Rampage Vulcan.

>>22640358
There were definitely some people rooting for him to become the final boss.

>>22640283
I dislike Gotchard but damn do I love the cards.

>>22640358
There were absolutely people that preferred him to be the final boss and the Megid trio were generally really liked all the way through.

>>22640310
Back to sleep then because Gotchard's plot is slower than Wizard's

>>22640524
>Gotchard's plot is slower than Wizard's
Nah.

Does anyone still have the link to the list of Riders from the Legend Chemy Ballot by chance?

All I found were these.

>>22640508
Purple and white color combo would be great for Gavv. Basically Rogue all over again.

>>22640312
Now that I look at it, I cannot see how the Chocolate Rider's chocolate gun will fit in the belt. But he most certainly will get the belt either way I bet, it has a different color scheme than Gavv's color scheme so there'll probably be more than one.

>>22640554
Let's see how many functions will be implemented in the gun and whether it has any potential to hold power-up items.

NihonNeon

>>22640313
Biggest giveaway was that it was orange again.

>>22640541
Yeah I was trying to see the list with all the options before the votes because I can't access it on the toy bandai site anymore. I know there was a Twitter post with screenshots of all the lists but I can't find it anymore.

How did Dragon's Knight's story end up being better than Ryuki?

>>22640232
Get Koichi Sakamoto to direct a full season, we'll get great fights (Both in and out of suits) and a bunch of thigh shots, it'll be great.

When are we getting the Ultraman treatment for the Anniversary Riders? As in using a fusion of multiple Riders for their forms.

>>22640814
A director can't do every single episode of a show, Sakamoto was head director of Fourze and he only directed 12 of its episodes.

>>22640832
How can a pink rock get married

>>22640824
Probably never, imagine the suit costs and just the hundreds of initial designs Toei needed to do, they'd avoid it like a plague.

Colorful on Twitter back at it again with the dope fan designs. We had an Anniversary Rider literally transform into the old Riders. We had an Anniversary Rider that had the trinkets on his shoulders, I'd love for an Anniversary Rider to have driver buckles like Color made here. <br>https://twitter.com/colorful_co2/st<wbr>atus/1789577637549183252

Based. Thanks for the link, bro. Hadn't noticed it was out

I think this was a good episode and. I really like Gigist but I really wished they had any other chemie than Skebows.

Where's the Zi-O fanboy, Kamen Rider Zi-Yuu?

>>22640846
Don’t forget that he made them in response to kaijingenso’s belt monsters.
https://x.com/kaijingenso/status/17<wbr>92130973582434593

>>22640846
Geats basically stole the gimmick already, but I think it could be done better since in Geats' case they were just decals. Basically a Rider where the collectible would be based on past belts and then you combined them in the belt to create combined Rider forms.

>>22640945
You just reminded me of those JP youtubers that slapped Rider belt parts onto buckles for the Desire Driver.

>I want you guys to make Lachesis laugh because there is something human about laughing
>episode starts with the Abyssal King laughing
Come on bro

>>22641009
Chemy can laugh, homonculi can’t.

>>22641009
The writing is a mess but Kyoka likely wanted to find something that makes Lachesis laugh which isn't... Human suffering. She wants her to experience real joy from the bottom of her heart and not just malice, unlike most of the other homunculi they have fought so far.

>>22641009
A genuine laugh, not a theatrical evil one. Kinda like how Yodonna laughed a lot but in a fake way.
https://youtu.be/a6dmCsmR4uU?featur<wbr>e=shared

Kyoka should just have told Rinne to make a face of pure despair

>>22641254
I remember reading, back when Gotchard started airing, that maybe Rinne being bad at emoting was due to her being a homunculus. Ironically, fans were right about homunculi being part of the show's lore but they guessed incorrectly which characters were actual homunculi.

Seeing this webm after all this time and recent episodes, made me realize that Lachesis makes an awkward pause after she smiles but before she laughs. And that's intentional, because just like the 3 dark sisters not aging, this was an early hint of them being homunculi.

Then again, Rinne being a homunculus is still a theory that hasn't been entirely discredited.

C-can I draw you anon? I need a model for my art class


/m/ vs. Three Body Ayylmaos

What /m/ factions could defend Earth from the <s>super-civilizations that can collapse dimensions and lower the speed of light</s> from the last Three-Body Problem book? The win condition is at a minimum keeping the Earth habitable in the face of a <s>the dual vector foil attack</s> -- just sending a colony ship to lightspeed to escape is insufficient.

Any late-Macross singing faction seems like a decent bet, because some Protoculture asspull would warp away with the <s>foil</s> or make the aliens fall in love with human culture.

>>22638187
>collapse dimensions
How big is the range on that?
>lower the speed of light
Only affects optical weaponry and FTL tech that actually propels a ship FTL. If FTL travel is achieved by entering another dimension and returning to normal space elsewhere this isn't exactly a problem.

>>22638187
Probably GGG because of the ES Windows.

The entire cast TBP trilogy (including the villains) would cry and complain about how shit Chinese entertainments are nowadays while every single /m/ characters try to comfort them

>>22638187
It is a very similar problem to the final conflict in SRW Z3, so the solution is to gather the 12 Spheres and perform a dimensional repair.

>>22638187
Mazinger Zero, TTGL, Ideon, Gunbuster, Awakened Unicorn Gundam, Dark History Turn A, Getter Robo.

>>22638345
Except Ideon and Zero that's the exact cast from Z3.

Read the books and then watch the Minecraft version.

>>22638282

The dimension weapons take out an entire solar system initially, but unfortunately the effect is continuously expanding and will eventually down-dimension the entire universe - and this has happened many, many times before, and the universe has down-dimensioned many times already.

Ironically, a lot of /m/ series would be fine presuming the weapon was used in 3-dimensional space and they, being 2D drawings, would be totally fine. If it was used against them in their 2D context though they'd be rendered 1-dimensional. Any 3DCG mecha would be fucked off rip though.

>>22638187
<s>I read the summary on the wiki and skim through a few excerpt online. From what I've seen, anything beyond book 1 is garbage because the author wrote everyone, even the non-Chinese characters like they are retarded morons having lived decades under the boots of CCP and unable to think outside of themselves or just hilariously incompetent, pulling in the absurd scaling of the conflict from just Earth versus the Trisolarians into universal conflicts with collapsing dimensions and shit is too much.</s>
Anyway, Demonbane solos.

>>22640181
3BP is unironically the last good Chinese novel that i have ever read

>>22640181
>anything beyond book 1 is garbage
Nope. The Dark Forest is absolute kino and is the best book youll ever read in your life even if you look and the fact that theres no good adaptation of it is sad.

Deaths End though now that is a mess and where you start thinking like that.

>>22640181
These are some awfully strong opinions from someone who hasn't read the books at all. Dark Forest fucking rocks. I do sort of wish I could go back in time and stop myself from reading Death's End but I wouldn't even say that one was garbage. (I'd just say that I personally fucking hated certain very very large parts of it, not naming any names Cheng Xin.)

>>22639593
The minecraft adaptation. Stick with it past the first number of episodes when it's just running around in a minecraft server and the budget skyrockets. It is genuinely the most entertaining AND most accurate adaptation of the books.


Why is this place slower than it's ever been right now?

>>22638331
Barely any new /m/ content this board wants to talk about.

>>22638331
No Gundam series or even a Bravern-level mecha show as far as discussions go; this year's Rider show is extremely unpopular with the Western fanbase too.

>>22638331
I mostly only post in threads that interest me.

>>22638331
Maybe stop making shit threads and spamming every discussion with your trash.

>>22638331
>0 good /m/ content for years now
>90% of threads are just the same 4-5 retard OPs posting the same shit.

>>22638364
There's been plenty of content to discuss every single season.

>>22638331
Only new shows are Shinkalion Change the World and Code Geass Rozé, the latter being released in movie format, and both have their own threads. And that's really it, there isn't a lot going on this season.

<s>Also I feel the mods/janitors are actually doing their job for once, so traffic derived from the usual 'troublemakers' was reduced, at least for now.</s>

Grendizer U's airing will boost the board's speed significantly.

Wristols or Wrifles, depending on the length of the barrel. Those I would consider wrifles.
