I don't care too much about Kamen Rider, sort of gave up on it after Wizard actually. I care that the people don't seem to appreciate how suspension of disbelief works (and how those things can allow you to either ignore or focus in on plot holes and inconsistencies.) Saying "the show is about karate bugmen and thus literally anything can happen" is just plain wrong. Monsters can happen, melodrama can happen but the simple fact is that if the show doesn't take care to make, for instance, believable characters and a logical plot, then the karate bugmen stop being karate bugmen and become guys in stupid costumes who can barely see out of them.

Haha ok turbonerd. Fourze, OOO et al were just as wacky as Wizard and Gaim.

Still waiting on a wrestling themed Rider. His belt can be a ring bell, and it can have two different voices that do running commentary on his fights. He can get distracted in his fights and yell at his belt to shut up, causing him to get hit and the belt voices to talk about how lame it is that he got hit by such a greatly telegraphed attack.

The secondary Rider can be a luchador who has a mask changing gimmick for his 'forms'.

Are you seriously suggesting a wrestling rider who has a belt based on something other than a god drat championship belt?

There's also an idea I had that a lot of people probably have had and probably wouldn't fly on children's TV, but a Kamen Rider based around gambling. A dealer is imbued with the power to become Kamen Rider Trump by Lady Luck to defeat embodiments of sin or something. The belt would be a slot machine (777 continues the tenuous number theme) and I guess the trinkets could be poker chips? Little bit too close to medals, kinda.

I was far too proud of myself when I came up with a gambling-themed rider a while ago whose driver was a slot machine, and whose bike had wheels styled after roulette wheels. Fake riders are fun to imagine! :3:

This reminds me of a political conversation I had with my flatmate recently, we were making fun of each others ideas and our own and it was pretty fun. I jokingly accused him of being racist, as part of the self-parody of liberal humanism act I was playing (as he was wearing a tea towel fashioned into a Shemagh) - and suddenly his entire act dropped and I was treated to a long tirade about how no, he was not in fact racist and if I thought he was, it was I who was racist, and words mean something and you're not allowed to take them out of context.

I think we're all losing focus on the fact that the most awesome man in Kamen Rider is back as Kamen Rider.

gently caress yes, the covers of old Toku songs in the credits of Akibaranger S2 were my favourite part of the show. Too bad this and the previous stage show will never be subtitled (to my knowledge).

Better yet, have it be Hongo a la "Hogan as the third man" reveal.

"If it wasn't for Hongo Takeshi, none of these Riders would be here! If it wasn't for Hongo Takeshi, Hino Eiji would still be walking the Earth aimlessly! I was selling out the world, brother, before these guys even heard of a motorcycle!"

As for a gimmick idea, maybe have a "rent-a-Rider" idea for the secondary or even "mass production" (think Riotroopers) rider, where the belt has a credit card reader on it. The primary Rider could have an ATM-style gimmick for the belt that involves punching in a PIN (maybe it's already been done with Faiz, but whatever); the super form could have to be activated via voice command or retinal scan within the suit.

- Weighs 350 lbs
- Always wore a coat of armor to school
