Cutie Honey is the spiritual mother of KEIJO!!!!!!! so I will respect it. Its young horny virgins expressing their idea of what a woman's sexuality is like. Sorta like kindergarten kid's drawings of what they think adults do. But with boobs. I vaguely remember watching a fansub of the Cutie Honey live action movie. Something about her being naked and robbing people's houses for food. May have to queue that up for a re-watch. Still enjoying Kabuto because its starting to place the threads that reveal exactly why all the riders are really fuckin crazy. Just revealed the fourth rider who really reminds me of a more sinister GARO's main dude. I haven't looked at the spoilers, I want to see this one play out. TheBee rider is an absolute evil psychopath while Tendou and Daisuke are the more reserved, "might kill you if sufficiently provoked and not feel bad at all about it" kind of psychopaths. This was shown to kids y'all.

I hear there was a whole thing where parents were angry about Tendou being an rear end in a top hat and wanted Kabuto to have better messages to the kids, so Mizushima had a whole thing where he was supposed to apologize, but he was in character and he was just like "Nah, I'm not going to apologize for being true to myself" and the kids ate it up. But then I heard this from a friend and I don't know what his source was, so take that with a grain of salt.

Tendou Souji absolutely is a character who spends his life, 24/7, presenting a "smug bastard" pro wrestling kayfabe persona. He's like Japanese Jinder Mahal. It is glorious, and he's definitely the reason I got so psyched about Kamen Rider when I discovered it in college. I love heroes who are trolls.

Yeah, Hyde was probably the closest thing to a leader the Goseigers had since Alata just kinda goofed off and ate candy most of the time.

Twelve by Pies posted:Yeah, Hyde was probably the closest thing to a leader the Goseigers had since Alata just kinda goofed off and ate candy most of the time. True, and if I had to pick a leader for the ToQgers I'd probably go with Hikari or Mio. Alata has his moments though (and ironically in the episode I mentioned he's the only one that never gets a chance at being leader). When the show first started I thought he was kind of an incompetent goof-off who had no business wearing Red but he proved himself later on. Come to think of it, how did that color wind up being associated with leadership in this series anyway? There's nothing real special about it when it pops up in Kamen Rider or Metal Heroes. Though while the Red Ranger typically takes point in battle they're not always the de facto leader, such as cases like Big One in JAKQ (though that one was more along the lines of MMPR S2, where Red was leader for a majority of the show but got demoted later on when they brought in a White Ranger), Ninja White in Kakuranger, Mega Black in Megaranger, Time Pink in Timeranger , Deka Master in Dekaranger and, most recently, Ryu Commander in Kyuranger. Also, you could probably argue that Goushi was the real leader of the Zyurangers (same with Kasumi from Ninninger for reasons I already mentioned) and Gao Yellow was the official leader of his team before Red showed up and remained as second in command for the majority of the show.

I really like that (build spoilers) they just straight up took away all of Sento's fullbottles. Adds a direct goal for the main characters (get them back) and it gives Banjou and Sento catalysts for character development. Banjou has to grapple with the full brunt of being a hero and Sento will have to struggle with his powerlessness and learning to contribute in different ways. Kamen Rider Build is such a loving good show.

Suppose Toei has "one major event per episode" quota. But yeah, best boy not getting his belt yet is little disappointing. It still has a reason for secondary Rider to take over ala Nigo.

Though I'm wondering how this week's episode fits into the Sento is Katsuragi theory. There's a couple of ways it could go from here. One is that Stalk gave rocker dude the appearance of Katsuragi, and gave Katsuragi the appearance of rocker dude. He may or may not have made himself appear like Katsuragi as well, I guess it depends on if he used his human form to make people think he was the real one for a while, or if he's just been in a permanent transformed state and just is saying he's Katusragi. Another way they could go is that he actually is Katsuragi, and Sento is someone who hasn't been revealed yet who was changed to look like rocker dude, and rocker dude was changed to look like Katsuragi.

Maybe it's less a body swap and more a personality split. Sento got the good science boy Katsuragi, and Blood Stalk is the shadow, the true self.

This is a Kamen Rider series so trying to guess the twist is a practice in futility because a lot of them come out of left field from several stadiums away. Fourze had a couple in particular that were just  I'm assuming a twist for the sake of a twist but was still a great seriesKabuto on the other hand, uhhhhh. Nobody could have predicted the batshit insane plot twists going on there.

Does Rogue know about his Aide being in on it? Cause he seemed to be expecting the heart attack which wasn't part of Rogue's plan at all. He just wanted the theft to force his dad into acting.

I think that there have been scenes with both Rogue and his aide in the Faust base so I'm pretty sure that he knows about his Aide being in Faust. However his aide might be working secretively for a higher up in Faust. I'm thinking that whatever affected everybody at the Pandora's box opening kicked up a notch in Rogue at the end as the dramatic shots of his reaction made it seem to me that something unnatural is going on.

Yeah it's very strange that it didn't seem to affect his dad as it did the other leaders, but now his dad is not running the place, it seems to be affecting him? ZenMasterBullshit posted:Stalk only did that because he was surrounded.

I guess the wealthy industrialist would have to be the one to make that call, if he's even the real person running the group. Faust seems like a lot of people working together out of convenience, rather than an organisation with a coherent structure.

Although this would make it a bit weird the toyline has a Kamen Rider Rogue who's pretty clearly an upgrade for Night Rogue but no equivalent for Stalk.

I know Kamen Rider is a children's toy show, but Night Rogue's henshin in-universe is the absolute silliest thing. Let's have this scheming, amoral dude who has every reason to hide his identity for once in franchise history with a gun that yells out MISTMATCH and fires a very loud barrage of missiles when Gentoku transforms in barely private places.  gourdcaptain posted:Although this would make it a bit weird the toyline has a Kamen Rider Rogue who's pretty clearly an upgrade for Night Rogue but no equivalent for Stalk. You're watching Kamen Rider and the franchise almost always has a minor to major game-changing mid-season shakeup that completely changes the dynamics. Stalk could also very easily fake his death or come back Dangerous Zombie-style, especially with how they're keeping him as Build's biggest mystery as of yet. We really don't know what Stalk's whole deal is! Cough Drop The Beat fucked around with this message at 17:18 on Nov 14, 2017 |

Transforming is a free action that doesn't hinder stealth as long as you're out of sight. This is a tradition.

The energy card that shoots out for Blade/Garren/Leangle's transformation actually was a barrier that stopped Undead, and sometimes they even used it offensively to knock the Undead back. So I gotta say, Lucky's dad being a fake sand guy is nowhere near as interesting as it would have been if it had actually been his dad. Maybe they were just worried that it would come off as a repeat of Scorpio. Oh well.

the playing card barriers provided a way to make everyone standing around waiting for the riders to transform seem more dynamic. nowadays they just kinda stand around until all the posing and talking plastic bits are done with, for no particular reason.

Amazons henshin had giant shockwaves they produced a lot of heat and set nearby plant life on fire (and apparently really hurt the monsters, to the point where tackling one and transforming could be an offensive move) but all the shockwaves couldn’t knock over a ladder leaning against a wall when all the main heroes did at once for the final battle. My favorite from that show is when the Sigma transformation at the rail yard just because the camera is near the ground and the CGI folks photoshopped the rails glowing red hot from the henshin.

Weaponized transformation sequences need to be a thing more often. On the Sentai side of things the only examples I can think of are Kyoryuger (their morphers were guns that they would occasionally fire directly at the enemy while transforming) and that one episode of Power Rangers RPM (the Blue Ranger modified his changer so that the resulting explosion when he morphed would take out the enemies behind him).
