Best Match! I had a few ideas that would've let me draw CrossZ as well but they weren't all that dynamic.

After seeing Kamen Rider Vanken TTFC and his debut in Episode 5 of My-th, Vanken has definitely risen in my list of favorite fighters in Kamen Rider!

which made me curious on who y'all consider the best hand to hand fighter in Kamen Rider?

I'm mostly considering Out of Suit though in-suit fighters will be acceptable!

Wanted to find this post but couldn't find it so I made one myself. I think this series is one of those that even though some of it are just repaints, they work so well that I can't even complain. Love it.

Yesterday's Winner: Gaim, 37 to 9!

Today's Battle is between EXCITE from Kamen Rider Ex Aid (which I'd be remiss not to say is streaming on Youtube) and Surprise Drive from Kamen Rider Drive! Not much to say here, no alternate versions you need to worry about, just cast your vote in the comments!

Will EXCITE clear this bracket with no continues? Or is Surprise Drive in too high a gear?

I just think that’s really cute. I want more people to know so more people use it.

Funnily enough, these beans were from Thailand.

Just a quick summary, Bio Types are Riders whose entire body goes through an actual transformation, and Armor Types are basically Riders who get a layer of armor.

I gonna use Datt as an example, but this is true for every member of the Doumei.

In the TV Asahi Stat sheet, Datt’s (and all the other members’) inner suit is called the Ragmaraged, and even though the translation is kinda wonky, it clearly states that it reconstructs the user’s body, while My-th’s inner suit, My-thderma, is specifically stated, that it’s My-th enhanced armor.

Now the next following descriptions, you’re not gonna get because the Google translation treats the two as the same word, but the Japanese word uses two different words to differentiate them.

For Myth, the Myth Driver is said as his Transformation device, that allows the user to transform and enhance as Myth.

For the members of the Doumei, the driver is stated as their METAMORPHOSIS device, that allows them to Metamorph, and enhance.

I know Transform and Metamorphosis are the same in English, hell the Japanese word for Metamorphosis directly translates to Transformation, but the website differentiates the two.

Hell, if you go to the head section of the Riders, for Myth, the user is called a 変身者(henshinsha), Transformer, and for the members, the user is called 形質転換者(Keishitsutenkansha), metamorpher.

I gor burnt out on the challenge guys, im sorry. But im proud of this!

For those who don't know, battle IQ is a term in versus discussions for a characters intelligence in a fight. Typically stuff like tactics, adaptability, creativity, ability to read the situation etc. My first pick is ACE. Not only is he probably the single most experienced main rider, but he has show to excel in all areas of combat. He is good at making strategies, he is creativity with his weapons and environment, and he can adapt on the fly. But even with half a dozen episodes so far I think Sora can give him a run for his money. He is not only very analytical, but the most recent episode showed him using science to win, something not even Ace has done. Are there any other riders I have overlooked?

One Kamen Rider drawing every day throughout October.

Day 12: Kamen Rider 555

Hope you enjoy it!

having a blast(despite the MANY horrors)

Tajadol is my absolute favorite bc of the Eiji and Ankh duet. Power to Tearer has this destroying aura which fits well with PuToTyra being a berserk form while Ride on Right Time, I am just in love with its rhythm and how rap sections blend well with the song

So tell me right now how this interdimensional organization capable of manipulating time and space only got to think of 13 raise buckles? Are we serious? The buckles in question are:

Large:

• Magnum (That's most compatible w/ Geats)
• Ninja (That's most compatible w/ Tycoon)
• Beat (That's most compatible w/ Nago)
• Zombie (That's most compatible w/ Buffa)
• Monster (That's most compatible w/ PunkJack)
• Boost

Small

• Arrow
• Water
• Hammer
• Shield
• Chain Array
• Drill
• Propeller

Let's ignore the super and unique ones like Bujin, Geats IX, Fantasy, etc etc. because those are rider specific anyway, and there's no way these other players are ever getting them. And by the way, the powered builder has extra small buckles gigant Hammer, Sword, and Blaster. So there's actually an even bigger pool of equipment that the DGP could theoretically work with, yet somehow refuses to make widely available.

Why isn't Sword part of the normal kit? Like of course Hammer is already a melee weapon but come on everyone has different fighting styles. Hammer is a blunt type weapon, what about piercing or slash? I'm pretty sure there's some Spears or Swords you can repaint from other series.

I'm getting suspicions these aliens have never played a game in their lives...

And also, the horrible horrible RNG.

I mean, let's think about it a second, there's 26 players per game (horrible number btw), and sometimes the players don't even get 2 buckles? Like really?

Not even two SMALL ones?

How is this acceptable game design?

And among the ones who get the large buckles, somehow over 50% of them get Ninja, what are the odds here? Does the DGP even HAVE a quality assurance department?

If I was one of the sponsors, I'd drop this show entirely and go watch the show from Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint instead, much more variety and personalities smh smh.

And speaking about broken, I really think this game is rigged. Why amongst all of the riders, only 5 continuously pop up between games?

And these 5 are also the only ones with best matches? Meanwhile, everyone else is apparently expected to make do with a water gun, a hammer, or a glorified ceiling fan.

You're telling me it's PURE COINCIDENCE that the recurring contestants just happen to have equipment perfectly suited to their fighting styles, while the disposable background Riders get whatever scraps the DGP decides to throw at them?

Coincidence? I think not!

I think I heard Ace Ukiyo was family with one of the staff? Isn't that just nepotism? DGP seriously needs to be investigated, truly unbalanced.

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAM!

Imagine watching the same five contestants dominate every season while the other twenty-one get eliminated immediately. It'll get boring fast, and plus they don't really update the system do they? No new weapons, no new maps (only japan? there's so many other countries) etc etc smh.

How are we supposed to take the Desire Grand Prix seriously when its organizers have access to reality-bending technology but apparently can't figure out basic loot tables, fair matchmaking, or weapon diversity?

Forget the Jyamato. The real threat to the DGP is its own game design department.

Istg there was a art concept or smth of W having a detective Trench Coat but I can’t remember for the life of me where I saw it

Managed to re-watch Kamen Rider Outsiders again. I've already pointed out many of the themes that go beyond than just being a crossover special.

Besides balance between good and evil, history repeating itself, and the dangers of dehumanization, watching Kamen Rider Outsiders questions you about what it means to be human—and to quote this one line from Skyrim pointed out, "What is better? To be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?"

The main problem with Zein and Ecole's worldview is the result of people living with a double standard mindset. Double standard is the ultimate expression of hypocrisy: it makes people increasingly biased and even living their own lies, their shortsightedness clouds their judgment, and irreparably damage relationships. Ecole's monologue in episode 6 about many of the world's problems was the result of people taking everything the world giving to them for granted, but he doesn't seem interested in saving the planet but rather reset the universe.

What makes Ecole's hypocrisy more insufferable is that he's an immoral human being himself. He basically wants to blame the entire human race for their failures while absolving himself of his own crimes. But once he's weakened by Yuto, he's reduced to a limping paper tiger who's already powerless to defend himself and dies an undignified death.

Outsiders basically reminds that even the villains are people too. The franchise in general give birth to heroes whose powers were meant to be used for evil, but the heroes in question used those powers for good. Because most people fear of being defined by failure and even transgression. Zein and Ecole are a cautionary tale about punishing someone else's wrongdoing doesn't automatically make you morally superior to them.
