It doesn't seem like the Ganma took the Eyecons. Or rather, they did, but not for THEIR desires.

They took them for the Minister, who had them all gathered around the thing that became the new Eyecon Driver. So it seems like he was actively trying to create the Eyecon Driver G with the Eyecons. I'm not sure what the Sage's plan is anymore, because on one side why not just give Takeru the Eyecon Driver then, but on the other when Takeru started losing faith in himself he got angry at him, but that could also have been because Takeru having faith in himself- or reaffirming that faith- led to all of the Heroic Eyecons going to help him. So even us with information that Takeru doesn't have still don't really know what the hell the Sage is after, which makes sense why he'd be so fed up with the Sage and Yurusen being so mysterious. I'd be pretty tired of being treated like a pawn too, when coupled with the realization that even after beating Javert twice he just came back even stronger to the point that even the guy that Takeru could not beat and Makoto couldn't even scratch him together, I'd probably say 'gently caress this poo poo' too.

Im thinking that the sage's plan has something to do with yurusen and those weird floating plate things . also holy poo poo the eyecon driver G sounds great that music was awesome.

I really wish they'd stop with the crossover movies. Like, a movie about old man Hongo who has been fighting some version or another of shocker for decades? That is an awesome premise. But no, they gotta shove ghost in there for some reason.

It's pretty tiny in my opinion! I am 6'3 though so I tower over every small Japanese person. Personally I really dig it for the switches and that all the sounds are included in the driver rather than in the gimmick items, while I still really /really/ want the genesis driver and a lot of poo poo from gaim, fourze driver is enough to make me happy because I can press all the little buttons with toothpicks to make all the noises!

The Zyuohgers will probably get shoved in there too if the past two movies and the upcoming crossover (which will apparently be done as two seperate episodes this time around judging by the previews) are any indication.

The reason being that a Kamen Rider 1 movie without anyone else would appeal to a really old demographic that might not even go to the cinema to watch it because they're old. It's only logical to add the currently running series so, you know, they get an actual audience (children, and manchildren) to watch the movie, and therefore make money. Then they buy the newest SH FIGUARTS KAMEN RIDER 1 POWER UP or whatever, and therefore, more money is made, leading to eventually all the money being made forever.

Or something, I think that's how Toei works.

Also the focus will still likely be on Hongo so I don't mind Takeru and Makoto helping. And we get a nice old gen/new gen team-up without a gigantic bloat of characters like the Movie Wars, so I don't mind it at all. They won't appear in Amazons...probably.

Again a very likpatous story
The worst part about Super Sentai crossing over into Rider movies is that Kamen Rider already had a guy to fight giant monsters, J. But since the Sentai team needs to show off their cool robot it always leads to J getting his rear end kicked so that the Sentai team can come in and save the day, and that kinda pisses me off.

It would be nice to see some of the movie Riders get a bit more focus one day (particularly Shin, who just kind of shows up now and is occasionally seen fighting something. Poor guy hasn't even gotten a line of dialogue since his movie).

Shin just wants to be beloved by children, is that too much to ask? :P Shin is one of my favorite Rider movies for all the wrong reasons - the gloriously incomprehensible speech from the one crazy scientist about how grasshoppers are a true nation of telepathic warriors who will one day overthrow God never fails to make me laugh.

I think I've watched Shin maybe four times and I still don't know if I get what the gently caress is going on in that movie at all.

I've watched Shin and I barely remember it, I just remember liking it even if it wasn't what you would call good.

ZO was a pretty decent movie though, but that guy gets almost no mention either anymore, but the villain from his movie (Neo Organism/Doras) was the main villain in the Decade/W Movie Wars which was cool.

Look, there's the Organization (which organization, you may ask? It's not important) who wants to do... things involving Shin, and then there's the psychic half-grasshopper baby that's somehow got immense powers and is already self aware and able to survive without the mother despite it being less than a week after it's conceived and there's also cyborgs and well, uh...

Shin is like if you got a bunch of Silver Age comic book writers and told them to write a gritty 80's/90's style gorefest OVA.

You guys don't know why I reacted like that.

It's because I've been aware of this awful sub branding for about a year now thanks to my two goon friends I watch poo poo with. They've made sure to keep me informed of every new one they find.

So there is absolutely no way we aren't watching an episode of this.

God drat It. Why Japan, why is this the anime you make of Ultraman now?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxLK9aZXq94

it does not help that I can name who each of the girls are based on God drat It.

Well except for one. The one with the stubby horns and wings. I think that's Dorako but she doesn't have hand hooks so I'm not sure. All of the girls are either based on UltraSeven or Ultraman original monsters, so I'm GUESSING she's Dorako as he's the only one that shares her color scheme and has wings.

That's an excellent question.

Dude's done gently caress all since Max despite being one of THE most iconic aliens in the entire franchise and a fan favorite.

Agira has gotten more screen time than him in the last decade, and Agira isn't even one of the GOOD capsule monsters!

So, scans of Spectre's next formhave started showing up.


Using the Deep Spectre Eyecon - an Eyecon with terrible power - given to him by Edith, Makoto transforms into Kamen Rider Deep Spectre. Armed with the Deep Slasher, Deep Spectre’s version of the Sunglasslasher, Makoto decides to test out his new strength. To do this, Kamen Rider Deep Spectre fights against a new enemy: Ganmaizer Fire.

Drive was weird with Mach, where his powered up form is Deadheat, in spite of it being a form that both Drive and Mach share.

It's one of those things where, by the end of the day, it might've been a better idea for only Mach having Deadheat, and Drive having Formula for his mid season powerup.

EDIT: Pah, I was thinking mid when the topic was about final power ups. I'm bad at reading.

They kind of did...in the second to last episode, out of nowhere, and with nothing but a recycled suit combining Mach's basic form and Chase. Before that, he only had Deadheat, a form Shinnosuke surpassed twice.

Still a better deal than Kaixa or Birth got.

Yeah, while Gou was a really cool character and Rider, it was truly odd how he never had an upgrade until the series ending. Gou had a long stretch of episodes where he felt useless compared to Shinnosuke's escalating power level too. They even had a "hey Rina, can you make me an upgrade?" episode that was quickly walked back. Maybe that was executive toy line meddling over at Bandai.

On the other hand, he had like the most shounen possible upgrade, where he formed unbreakable super armor from the memory of his dead friend. I think it evens out.

Gou could use dead heat without overheating, which Shinnosuke never could. Granted, Shinnosuke never really needed to but for a while that super freeze thing was a problem and dead heat was the only counter they had.
