Depending on what you mean by main zord Go-Onger took awhile too. They had the three combiner but took a few episodes to hook all five up, or did they need Carrygator for that?

If you want to go that route then it took Kyoryuger more than halfway through the season to get a combination of more than 3 Zords and Zyuohger just got theirs recently. But generally I just meant as in the combination of the starting group's mechs, whether that be 3 or 5.

Can you really say that 4 and 5 weren't starting members of Go-onger? They were there from episode one and got the suits by episode three or so.

Episode two actually but yeah, good point. I guess that one counts on a technicality.

Though one day I'd like to see them try a main mecha that's just one piece rather than being made up of individual ones as we haven't had one of those since Timeranger

Gosei Ultimate qualifies, I mean yeah they didn't get it until more than halfway through the series but it still was a main mecha that was just one piece.

It might have been bad but at least it was better than the thing it replaced. I'm another one of those people who wished that the Gokai Galleon formed the robot by itself, for what its worth. Come to think of it, I doubt many people who weren't into the toys felt differently.

Oh right, and correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't Build Dai-Oh from ToQger technically count as well? And I guess Plezu-Oh from Kyoryuger as well. We've had more than I thought come to think of it, though we haven't had one as the main mecha since Megaranger (in fact, every robot not counting the combination of Galaxy and Delta Mega in that series was like that with the exception of the Mega Voyager).

Speaking of nerd toys, does anyone have a link to the Kamen Rider clothing line? I remember someone posted a link to a site that sold T-shirts and belts. I have my eye on the leather belt with the Decade Driver belt buckle. Though I vaguely remember that it was a limited time thing. I hope not.

As well as Bragi-Oh from Kyoryuger, but I guess that depends on whether you classify them as main mecha or not. Of all those, Gosei Ultimate was really the only one that was used as a replacement for the team's previous main mecha (though they did still pull out Gosei Great from time to time) whereas all the others got one or two episodes before they became "another piece to add to the super combination."

I was wondering how much of that movie was going to be a Takaharu fest, since it seemed like the main villain's ultimate weapon was just a copy of Takaharu and he seemed to, at least in the preview, have most of the lines.

He got more than the other Ninninjers put together but not all that much more. If anything I'd say that all of the ToQgers got shafted, they felt more like guest stars in a Ninninjer episode than an equal part of the movie, most of their supporting cast didn't even show up.

Yeah, as someone who's a ToQGer fan and didn't really get into Ninninjer, I spent the film just feeling really bored. Or frustrated, because I find Takaharu's actors screaming irritating.

I find that shows obsession with Takaharu from what I've seen of it and that movie frustrating because of all the characters to overly focus on (and I'm not a fan of red over focus in Rider), why the one with the noticeably bad acting on their catchphrase? I mean, I'm not a Daigo fan or a fan of Kyoruger in general, and I find Daigo annoying, but his actor does sound like he's genuinely trying in the part. (Same with my issues with Zyuohger, but I'm primarily a Rider guy anyway.)

I say this admittedly at the same time I'm currently rewatching Kamen Rider Blade with a friend with the newish and vastly improved Turn Up release (still a bit shaky, but there aren't at least episodes in a 16x3 aspect ratio and the video quality makes a huge difference) and loving the terrible/hammy acting in that. The difference there is that almost all the Blade actors seem like complete newbs at times, but there's passion to it making it rather endearing. Ranging from Kenzaki communicating entirely in shouts to Tachibana... just being Tachibana. Plus, I just love the early Heisei Rider shows in general, they go with my tastes.

EDIT: Between Kenzaki being a socially unadept loner with no friends prior to the series with no volume control, Hajime still trying to figure out this whole human interaction thing starting from square zero, Mutsuki being a shy dork possessed frequently by the world's dumbest spider monster outside of Kiva, and Tachibana, my friend and I have nicknamed the series the League of Socially Awkward Riders.

how can you even compare Yamato's actor with Takaharu's in acting.



He's got more expression in this one scene then Takaharu ever had.

Uh, I meant while I dislike Tomato's character and I'm not a Zyuohger fan, his actor IS acting. Ambiguous phrasing, sorry.

Just out of curiousity, were any of the Pre-W kamen rider villains particularly sympathetic or have had somewhat noble goals?

Randomly noticed that every villain faction W onwards is sympathetic (except I don't know about wizard but gently caress wizard), but from what I've seen of Kuuga and Ryuki just had monsters, and I don't know much about the showa era.

Sort of, some times. Blade is a questionable case, Faiz definitely does.

Showa Rider could from time to time, though some of them, like the Mole Beastman or the Whale Mutant, would end up being allies for a time. Most of the time they fought Super Nazis though.

Depending on your definition of "villain faction", Ryuki could actually count. Kanzaki just wants to get his sister's life back, which he does by basically loving everyone and everything up and sending 13 men to their deaths on vague promises of giving them what they most desire if they survive. Also some of the Riders themselves have noble or at least understandable objectives, like Kitaoka surviving cancer.

That's the only one I can think of though.

The big bad of Ryuki is sympathetic to an extent in that his backstory is incredibly screwed up but is a terrible, terrible person, and there's a couple antagonistic but sympathetic Riders in that series. Faiz has a LOT of sympathetic monsters, some of which are antagonists, some of which are secondary protagonists. Blade had some sympathetic grey area people. Kiva had some sympathetic monsters of the week. Kabuto's got a sympathetic grey area person depending on how you look at them.

Agito's big bad is supposed to be sympathetic I think, but they botch it hard for me. There's also a pseudo-Rider who starts out hilariously crazy but gets likable near the end of his run.

It's alright as a children's show, cute fun cast that actually interacts with each other, the heroes and villains are all very interesting to watch. Heroes are distinctive and work with each other and learn from each other really well, villains are hilariously evil bastards that are competing with each other to entertain to see who can inflict the most death and misery.

Hasn't really done anything beyond being okay except for the recent two parter, which I thought was fantastic.

I doubt it will be beating Go Busters or Shinkenger but it might end up even with ToQger for me. (Like ToQger, I feel like this might get really fun when the plot gets going)
