I love Drive but in one of the discord servers I'm in there's a lot of negativity around it. It seems to mostly be because they feel Gou is a terrible character due to being a huge racist.

Gou's a poo poo, its treatment of its female cast could have been a lot better, and it does kinda meander in the middle a bit, but it's still a great series overall.

Gou is a bad character in a good series, Kiriko is a good character in a bad series, and Heart is the best villain in Kamen Rider. It's hard to nail a single statement of quality, good or bad, onto Drive.

You'll want the japanese subs for the Wizard show too, cuz it's a Fukuda show

Also Tubi and Prime have Fukuda's first movie Chasing my Girl, an adaption of a play he wrote and directed. That one has Wizard on a far larger role (though it's one of Shunya's first roles so he's a tad green in it), plus it also has Tsurugi from Kabuto. The DVDrip is ugly as all gently caress but the TL is pretty good imo
What are you referring to with "cuz it's a Fukuda show?" I'm super out of touch with Japanese drama haha. The immediately echoed praise for his work (and a quick skim of his impressive filmography) has me interested though.

I have... particular feelings of distaste towards that certain fansubbing scene that would deffo get me probated for :goonsay: so to keep it short, Fukuda Yuichi shows tend to have a lot of comedy and wordplay that might be a tad hard to follow for a first-time watcher without subtitles of any kind. His shows are generally a riot though, I'd recommend The Hero Yoshihiko or Aoi Honoo as starters.

e: if you register on d-addicts they have a members-only section with japanese subs; I'd wholly recommend using them if fansubs are the only thing available
e2: also whatever you do don't watch the subs for Aoi Honoo on viki, those are godawful

Wait, Blue Blazes and Yoshihiko were by the same guy? That's incredible. I never saw all of Yoshihiko but I heard so many good things about Aoi Honoo. Y'all (O-T) subbed both so I definitely wouldn't even think about going anywhere else for subs. I didn't know that about do-addicts and the JP subs though, that's definitely up my alley since my reading is way better than my listening. Thanks!!

With the marked exception of the crowsourced "official" translation for Aoi Honoo, all of the Fukuda Yuichi shows and movies that have been officially licensed have good translations, so there's that. Nietszche in the Convenience Store (formerly on Crunchyroll), Tokyo Dogs (starring Tendou from Kabuto, on viu.com), Chasing My Girl, Businessmen VS Alien (Prime Original), Jossy's (not actually licensed but it did have official subtitles for a festival), Hentai Kamen (China/UK release)... hell even Gintama (Amazon and iTunes)'s milquetoast translation is better than whatever the gently caress that Aoi Honoo tl is

anyways I'll see myself out before I go full Burkion on this thread about all this

Night Rogue and Blood Stalk aren't technically counted as Kamen Riders since they use a different form of transformation than the Rider System. Same for the Remocon, Engine, and Hell's Bros.

Mad Rogue is a Rider though.

That's... really dumb. If you want to go that route then you would have to disqualify a several of the secondary riders because they used different systems of transformation.

Poppy, Zombie and Cronus all used Buggle drivers which wasn't the rider system of ex-aid and were a weapon first like the guns Rouge and Stalk used. (ride players and Nico I'm on the fence about)

Necrom because he had the Mega Ulorder rather then a Ghost driver like Ghost and Specter

Woz because He isn't using a Ziku Driver

None of those examples work because you're applying one shows naming convention to another one where it doesn't exist. In Build specifically you're a rider if they show calls you a rider and the show only calls the people using the Build/Evol/SQUASH drivers riders


The rest are just metal heroes.

Probably the moment Katsuragi said that Night Rogue and Blood Stalk existed to train users of the Rider System, because the latter can evolve unlike the former.

Or the time Gentoku asked to be made a Kamen Rider despite already being Night Rogue.

Or maybe a few other times where it was extremely specific on what is and isn't a Rider for it.

I feel that just cause they don't call them riders doesn't make them such. Up till Build the only ones with questionable rider status would be the mass produced/mooks like the Ride players or the Kurokage Troops (unless I'm forgetting some one-off or something else)

There is more of an argument to be made of who is counted as Ranger/Sentai like Magna Defender or Wolf Warrior. Mostly by their suits being armor and not spandex. All the suits in any given Rider series tend to be of the same material so to speak and the only argument I am hearing is that "Kamen Rider" is not part of their name.

There's similar arguments in the Gundam fandom about whether certain suits are Gundams or not

You're forgetting the Alternatives from Ryuki who are basically Riders in every way except they aren't Riders. Beyond that, yeah, it's mostly the mass-produced stuff that gets in the "is it or isn't it" question (for that matter, the Riotroopers are Riders, the Ride-Players are not, and the Kurokage Troopers should be but I'm not entirely sure)

There's no argument in Sentai. Everyone that's Ranger-like is a Ranger. The only argument is whether they count as sixth, extra or whatever, and that's barely important. Kamen Rider...can be a bit arbitrary about it, but usually there's a line when there's something that almost is a Rider but isn't.

And if you want that line as clear as possible in Build: if they say HENSHIN, they're Riders. If they don't, they aren't.

?????????
?

being called a Rider has some actual weight to it though. It would take me forever to get into it but the fact that someone is called a Rider vs Not is actually a big deal, sometimes this is extremely arbitrary and for reasons that are very bad and dumb (see: the Tackle issue), but there's a certain specific sort of statement being a Rider makes about you, even in Heisei.

Night Rogue and Blood Stalk aren't riders for a multitude of reasons but Build is extremely Showa throwback in how hard it plays to the hilt on a lot of classic Rider themes so it's super specific about what is and is not a Kamen Rider.

Also the transformation gimmicks differ as other people pointed out.

Yeah the fact that officially they're not named kamen rider means they are not kamen riders? Like the argument that they are has even less evidence and ultimately it's a distinction that only bares meaning in specific shows (See Build saying the Steam Gun forms have static hazard levels and cannot grow while the rider system explicitly can.) The only argument that they are is "Well if you ignore the shows descriptions they're kind of the same thing and It soothes my brain demons to have them order such."
