-Zyuohger: Eagle is locked to Yamato but it's weird as a power-up, it's kind of treated like just another Ranger form despite being way stronger at times. Still, another Red-only, and he gets an even better version for the finale.

Eagle is his base form. I don;t know if you meant ether Gorilla or Whale

So no more Super Hero Taisent movies :shrug:

they were usually pretty under whelming and tended not to actually focus on the current series anyway.

So This was brought up on Rangerboard but the Battery treasure is not anywhere similar to a Zyudenchi. The closest thing I could find that it might be is a Hyper Storage Crystal used in OhRanger's Ole Bazooka.

edit: best image of the HSC I can find actually came from Gokaiger

I was excited when they announced the new game but I wasn't a fan of Climax Fighter (never really got around to finishing it.... or battride 2 and Genesis as well come to think of it even though I love the Musou games)

This looks like much of the same so I'm probably going to pass on it.

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.

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.

when did Build specifically state that?

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.

Yeah, had to go look that one up. It's been too long since I watched Ryuki


Monathin posted:

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.

I did another quick search of all the transformations in the Heisei era and I only found 6 others who have rider-like transformations/rider forms but aren't called riders: 2 villains from the Decade x Den-o movie, Alternatives from Ryuki, V1 from Agito and 2 Faiz Stage Show characters. Everyone else who ever transformed has been called Kamen Rider hero/villain/one-shot so I'm not sure what kind of statement it could be :shrug:


quote:

Also the transformation gimmicks differ as other people pointed out.

As I was typing an argument to that using the same three I exampled earlier (buggle, Ulorder, Woz) I realized that yeah those are basically the same transformation but different device/light show in series where a single belt design is given to more then one character.
BUT... an example of different tranformation but still riders I did think of are V-3 and Gills


ZenMasterBullshit posted:

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."

I brought it up else where and someone said that Word of God Toei does not classify them as Riders so that is the end of my argument. I am wrong according to an official source and I am fine with that.

On a side note, this is the first time we've had a three man team in Sentai history that wasn't Red/Yellow/Blue isn't it?

I wouldn't really say that it's a three man team. We know Green and Black are joining and it probably won't take long since they were already introduced as part of the cast from before it even started airing and they are in the intro. Kind of the same way Go-Onger had three members for all of 1 episode before Green and Black joined.

I know it was discussed earlier but I also apparently forgot to check into the thread for 500+ posts but...

it bothers me like it has with other people where in the first contest of the takeover stuff he gets super pissed at the florist screwing with the humagear's work but then with the house selling the human straight up assaults Smile during a pitch and Gai does nothing. Then Gai putting the belt on the lawyer was making me just go "What the gently caress happened to this being fair like it was at the start?" followed by screwing with the Driver. It felt like I missed something in the middle

He wants to prove that Humagears are a) bad (or at least worse than ZAIASpecs) b) prone to KILL ALL HUMANS at any time,

I mean, yeah that's why the takeover was happening to begin with and seemed to want to be fair initially but the sudden 180 on that after the florist is just baffling. Like maybe if he tried to tell the florist some poo poo about don't get caught being a bastard it would be a little more believable as a descent in "I'm evilz lol"

Alright, I upgrade to the Blu-rays for Ultraman and UltraSeven and even picked up Ultra Q while I was at it. Interesting that nothing with the UltraSeven set even mentions the missing Ep 12. the guide book just jumps from 11 to 13. Not even a footnote. Even the shout set addressed it.

"So I feel like even though some of the fans would like to have the physical [copies] right now, that they’ll be extremely happy."

I would much rather have physical as it's easier to split viewings in to chunks (by disc) and after I buy I don;t have to worry about rights and licenses expiring taking away my ability to view it.

EDIT: Plus I don;t have to view it on a schedule or with ads like Leo will be on Pluto

It's not really spoilers but alright: a ways after the Sixth Ranger shows up he gets a power-up only he uses that is clearly meant to be a toy for the Patrangers, and iirc the toy version even goes "SUPER PATRANGER!!", but the Red for that team only briefly uses it once, because marketing noticed toys for the Lupins were selling more. There's also a robot add-on that was a Fire Truck which would obviously be meant for the Patranger's robot, but Lupinred ends up with it and they outright never use it.

even funnier is that the sixth keeps using it in his Lupin form. Doesn't even bother using the Pat form for it. To add insult to injury, he use the super Lupin form in his Pat form in the very last episode.
