This looks so dope. I really want to watch a full dubbed or subbed series but I can’t find this anywhere
I’m trying to come up with another Kamen Rider OC. Kamen Rider Sins, but I don’t know what to do for the gimmick and a driver name
From the fusion rides I’ve done, which did you all enjoy so far?
You all enjoyed the fusion of Kabuto, Drive & (Next) Faiz. But what of the others?
Do you all want me to do more?
(+ Fusion 7: Amazon + Kiva + Gavv)
Bonus points if images are included,
I kinda have a idea where it be like a support group for tokusatsu heroes and there can be two routes it can go a comedy/realistic way one where the heroes talk about how stressful them being toku heroes are and how it effected their lives it could have a guy experiencing what parents feels from birth to their kid and them going away in one day, or how a joke but powerful monster give them a new fear.
But for a serious route it can be like heroes going through survivor guilty and others things like that like an sentai like ranger that the last one to survive the final battle, a one half of a Kamen rider duo who gets abused by his other half, an evil turn ally trying to redeem himself, a hero who got mind control trying to cope what he did and so on
Though it can be also like an average tokusatsu show where it follows a group of heroes trying to overcome their past trauma to stop a new threat that need them to stop
It can goes from one point of view to another for each episode with it being a day or few after the last group meeting and be told, if it goes in the serious one, but if it went the comedy route, it would probably have each episode have three or four heroes talking about their problems
So, question throughout the whole Tokusatsu genre of the franchises of Super Sentai, Kamen rider, Ultraman etc. We've seen the average civilians be preyed upon by Man size monsters that be Kaijin, Seijin from the franchises mentioned... Usually because the Kaijin got the jump on them.
So it comes into question how would things go if the victims decide to go swinging on their own terms not the Kaijin. And possibly taking the Kaijin by surprise of the victim actually choosing to fight back.
Based off of the movie Dog Soldiers of a soldier throwing hands with a Werewolf.

So yeah, Just a curiosity that came into mind and curious of any thoughts of such a question. But please do be civil.
009-1 the end of the beginning is great movie with great action, edgy and uncomfortable sex scenes, and the plot twist is horrible, aside from that this movie is action packed
The former Tokusatsu Actor Keisuke Souma, who played Genta Umemori/ShinkenGold in Samurai Sentai Shinkenger (2009-2010) & Master Logos/Kamen Rider Solomon (2020-2021) in Kamen Rider Saber, was retired from the Japanese Entertainment Industry next to Yume Shinjo. However, there is only one missing piece he did not fulfill: His supposedly portrayal as an Ultraman & he was so close in having his Tokusatsu Trifecta/Triple Crown Title. I hoped none of that will happen to other Tokusatsu Actors & Actresses! Oh, and Happy 38th Birthday to you, Souma-niisan!!!
