I’ve been binging all of the Showa Era Kamen Rider shows in order because they’re relatively connected canonically. But I want to watch some Heisei content as well and with Kamen Rider Kuuga being the first Heisei Era show in 2000, I was wondering if it has any connection to the other shows, or if it is essentially a hard reset.

Basically I want to know if I can watch Kamen Rider Kuuga and not miss anything in the way of Showa Era canon, references, or characters.

Do riders wear their belts on their stomach or waist I can’t figure it out

Hello everyone, I want to buy back Faiz Axel Watch 2003 but don't know where to buy it. Can everyone tell me where to buy it (or is there anyone who wants to sell it [secondhand])?

Our little fandom has changes over the last 18 years

I'm not talking about explicitly evil like Stomach Co., but benevolent on the surface companies.

What's the real size of Ryuki's Dragon (Dragreder)? I've been rewatching Decade for the sixth time, and I noticed something interesting in the first episode. In the scene where Dragreder falls, it shows Decade as the only one standing/floating. From the way it's framed, it looks like Dragreder is really large. But in the original Ryuki series and in Rider Time, Dragreder seems to be no bigger than 1.5 school buses. Meanwhile, Dragblacker (Ryuga's contract monster) was small enough to fit in a mall parking garage.

So, is there an in-lore explanation for why the size of the summons seems different each time, or is it just a budget thing?

SALAK! (snake fruit)

LOCK OPEN! NIDHOGG ARMS!

GNASHING FANGS, CRUSHING JAWS, FRONT AND CENTER!

Denying the power of the forbidden fruit, Kouta is sent into a near-death state as he fights against the nature of the power he is refusing. He eventually awakens to discover that ongoing events force him to act, no matter how weak he is. Using Kachidoki once more, he discovers that it refuses to activate due to his refusal of its power. His sheer willpower, however, to protect everything he holds dear, eventually manifests a new type of fruit: The Salak Keyseed, denoting that the Kachidoki Lockseed has surrendered to him. Using this, he is able to transform into Nidhogg Arms, wielding the power to demolish the plants of Helheim and all those related to it, including other Riders, while forcibly commanding them using his willpower.

Based on Shingen Takeda's armor, themed around the snake that devours the roots of the world tree Yggdrasil, this allows Gaim to use his massive warfan shears to crush and slash enemies apart. By smashing enemies with the flat of the fan, he can force them to follow the simple orders of one of his three Shiji Locks. This can however be overcome by high enough willpower, but even a simple second of hesitation caused by it can be enough to smash down an enemy.

(This was written about a month and a half ago, forgot to post it that's why our new favorite Pudding man isn't in the tally.)

I apologize for the long post, I'm currently on a flight writing this. Got to pass the time somehow right?

So aside from Kamen rider I'm also a big lover of JRPGs. Two things that I don't think have intersected enough. Now recently I was made aware of Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. A concept that floored me to think about. An RPG that had 100 playable characters? An idea like that you'd need a roster of absolutely lovable characters. Then I started thinking about a certain Karate bug man show that's got an army of lovable heroes.

Now before we get too into it, yes I know this idea has a snowball's chance in hell of this happening but it's free to dream right?

So first we establish our characters. The main Riders are obvious. 15 Showa, 20 Heisei, 6 Reiwa brings us to Almost half our roster at 41. Next is our secondaries, 19 Heisei and 6 Reiwa is 25. Now before we get into our tertiaries. I think it's important we first recognize that not all thirds are made equal so we should do some vetting. Showa has no thirds and all the Reiwas are good. Heisei however? Den-O, Decade, W, OOO, Fourze, and Wizard are all seasons where they don't really have a third/the third isn't really a part of the main story. So subtracting that six we have 19 Tertiary Riders to add.

So 41+25+19=85, okay we're left with fifteen slots left, now let's go through those six skipped thirds and some fourth riders throughout. Now just for fairness though four characters will be the max I'll allow from one series. Starting with thirds again-

New Den-O?, he's pretty cool I say yes but top of the chopping list if I miscalculate.

Kivala? Before you ask yes I consider her the tertiary of Decade, she'd add some needed spice, add her.

Skull? Do I even need to justify adding him?

Birth Prototype? Definitely not, that would be a waste of a slot. Had Aqua had more screen time/relevance to OOO I could have picked him.

Nadeshiko? Of course, who doesn't love her?

Mage? Hell no, I don't even like Calling her the tertiary, that whole trio are glorified civilians of the week in what they brought to Wizard.

Okay that adds, four more. Now let's talk about the fourth riders.

Ouja, while we love him I'd prefer to keep this roster exclusively to good guys. No

Orga is in the same boat as Ouja, No

Lengele, he's the gold standard for a fourth. Yes.

Zanki? He's cool but too similar to Todoroki. No, but he'd be a cool feature for one of Todoroki's moves.

Kabuto doesn't really have a fourth? Like I'm sorry but TheBee is a better villain, Sasword and Drake are Jabronis and Punch Hopper is an accessory to Kick Hopper.

Skipping all the way to the next actual fourth worth considering is Zangetsu. Easy yes.

Lazer is an easy yes as well, Genm would be better as a villain.

Rouge is another Fourth I think we don't need to argue over.

Tsukiyomi is one I want to add but she's barely in the show! So we'll come back to her if need be.

Jin? So he's only really a good guy with Burning Falcon, we'll come back to him as well.

Saikou? Easy yes, sometimes he felt more like the third then Espada.

Demons would be cool but I think he worked better in villain hands. So no.

Buffa is another uncontroversial pick I'd hope.

Legend is also an easy add.

So with our second go over of thirds and fourths we have New Den-O, Kivala, Skull, Nadeshiko, Lengele, Zangetsu, Lazer, Rouge Saikou, Buffa, and Legend. So that's another 11, 85+11=96. So we need another four.

We can throw Tsukiyomi and Jin in. Now he's not usually considered the fourth but I think we could give Raia from Ryuki some time to shine. Finally what better to add then a main character who isn't a proper main Rider? Finally let's add Shinobi.

Okay so with our 100 Characters we need a story. You could easily just do something about Shocker trying to take over the time stream and Decade teams up with Gavv to go around recruiting everyone and fixing it. Simple as can be.

Definitely could use a lot more thought but just a fun idea, what do you think?

Born in the world of Valera, Kiro Kimetchi was granted the Ethereal Driver from an entity within the sky called the “Ethereal Stream” thus making him into Kamen Rider Valor. Valor’s goal is to become Valera’s one true ruler and unify the divided kingdoms to allow the world to enter generations of prosperity for the new age. The Age of Valor shall begin.

why is this the best show I’ve ever seen and why havent i watched it before

Now I just need all the legend cards.

Hey! I’ve been looking into getting that Revice game, Vice Talking, that one game where you get to talk with Vice. Though none of the APKS seem to work…I’ve been looking through archived files and sites, but no luck on that either. The closest I have is this link.

https://web.archive.org/web/20210813033131/https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/仮面ライダーリバイス-バイストーキング/id1578213720

Does anyone have any resources themselves or any way to get their hands on the app, whenever it’s simply the app itself (even an old version) or an APK file out there? If there’s none, it’s fine, I was really curious and even tempted to get that app somehow. I’ve been looking into it for a while. Thanks!!
