What are your favorite and least favorite main Rider suits thus far?

Say something to the Zeztz suit actor, Kenta Nitta!

That’s one sexy bike

>>23372557
Nice fuckin legs dude

https://twitter.com/toeiHERO_movie/status/1942055978062459317
Gavv.

>>23372557
he doesn't seem fit to the suit, i don't it's him..maybe nawata again?

https://twitter.com/TVguidePERSON/status/1942161681280639488
Hanto.

>>23372557
I hope the face suit actor rumor is true because it would be interesting

I really hope this "appealing to an american audience" shit with Zeztz is a one and done and they go back to how they usually do it because the less normies are in this fandom the better

The seventh Riders of their respective eras.

Glotta.

>>23372577
Everyone in /krg/ and /ssg/ loves posting stupid tokutwitter screenshots anyways so virtually nothing will change

>>23372577
Its gonna be funny tho

I really wanna see tourists say some shit about how this is bad cause they dont look realistic enough

>>23372554
My favorite suit are Faiz, Kiva and Ghost, my least favorite are Agito and Saber
>>23372590
Why do you want things to get mad at?

Ultraman has been simulcasting for years and it somehow didn't get descended upon by wokescolds. Why be afraid of something that hasn't happened?

>>23372592
Im not mad at them i think theyre funny

Will he be back as Prime Zeztz?

is there a list out there of all the movies worth watching and when to watch them?

https://twitter.com/MAAAAAAAASAHIRO/status/1941840305076195394
"July 9th is approaching.
Get ready for the Jisariz TV broadcast!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTrFBGx7Py0

Be honest with me, do you actually expect Zeztz to become a big hit in the west, or do you think it will fail miserably and make them halt every attempt on pushing the franchise internationally?

>>23372605
If they advertise it in the west as much as they do Ultraman, which is like not at all, i rly doubt it

>>23372605
It's not the millionth rehash of MMPR so the majority of toku "fans" in america aren't going to take much notice of it. The people who were already watching KR before this "international" release are the ones who will be the most interested in it. I can't see it growing too far beyond that, it would be cool if it did but I'm not counting on it.

>>23372577
caring about "normies" watching a franchise for toddlers is insanely stupid

>>23372605
At most it'll introduce some new manchilderen to the franchise who are more open to jumping from Power Rangers nostalgia wanking to an actual decent series. It'll also be easier to jump into for people who don't wanna torrent or go on malware sites. Ultimately I doubt it'll do much.

>>23372605
I honestly expect it to be on all of the west except of the US. Western entertainment is on a massive decline which is why Japan is dominating even harder on all fronts now, superhero fans will probably latch on to Zeztz because they've been starving for some actually good super hero media and Kamen Rider is a popular enough IP in Japan that normalfags from the west have heard hearsay or have at least experience western media referencing it. Honestly this might give an indirect push in popularity to Ultraman and Garo toom
However I feel that US will never get past the whole "this is at is core a toy commercial for kids, even if it's meant to be enjoy by families as a whole" nor would they be able to get past the lower budget these shows have. And it's now like Toei will suddenly change their model because the US is vocal about disliking these aspects because the toys continuously sell well, so their main market will continue to be Japan.

>Thread's suddenly full of shitposting SEAs

>>23372605
Power Rangers stigma alone will kill its chances in the west, as popular as anime and dramas are otherwise.

>>23372613
>franchise for toddlers
>(you)'re still watching it

I once asked 2 friends that are mostly normfags if they ever heard of KR and they both said something along the lines of "isnt that the japanese version of power rangers?" so at the very least theyre aware of it as a concept that exists

>took so long getting through the first 13 episodes of KR that a new series has come out
I’m never catching up, am I?

>>23372633
Look at it this way: you will never run out of new Kamen Rider to experience

>>23372630
not sure, did the “Japanese GTA” stigma kill Yakuza’s popularity here?

>>23372605
>>23372577
This general really is full of nitpicking retards. Some of the arguments anons post here are so fucking stupid.
>n-no more trendy designs
>m-muh censorship and defanged!

Ultraman and Sentai are still the same even after they started branching out globally. Why would Rider suddenly be the sole exception and change because of it?

>>23372637
At first yeah, the second game was a decent success but after the franchise kept getting poor recognition and sales, the only reason they kept making translations was at the request of autistic Sega fans sending letters so the west would get some translations a year later.
It wasn't until Yakuza 0 that the franchise really became popular.

>>23372637

>>23372577
They will only let this be a “one and done” if it flops. If it’s a success then too bad for you, it’s the new norm.

>>23372659
What are they gonna think of next? Making the riders gay???? Those damn westoids

>>23372645
Autist

>>23372605
It’s not gonna be MCU or Andor level, but if it’s out on prime video or whatever and updated weekly then it will succeed enough. All the US and Canada fans who watched it illegally will just watch it officially if it’s easily available. Even more so if every episode is going to youtube.
So it will be as successful as a regular Reiwa show on Japan plus extra revenue overseas.

>>23372579

>Ultraman and Sentai are still the same even after they started branching out globally.
Only if by "globaly" you mean "SEA and China".
Ultraman hasn't hit big in the West, it just became more accesible to the preexisting crowd.
Sentai isn't even out of Asia.

Rider COULD be the exception because its concept is more friendly to a potential western audience. I personally don't think it will be a huge sucess either, but I understand where the fear comes from.

How do the nips generally feel about the AI controversy?

>Japan hasn't had any contact with the outside world prior to September 2025

https://twitter.com/next_omega_/status/1942202854900658450

TV Asahi has been featuring various drag queens from Shinjuku bars to show up in their variety shows in previous months, and will have more in different programs in the coming months.
I wonder if there is something going on their TV program management and kamen rider will have a taste of it....

>>23372692
They don't care yet, pretty much just cautiously wary and waiting for the conference

>>23372692
Some of them are being faggots about it and going on about how "fake western fans are getting filtered" and sucking it off because it's Japanese, highly likely that they're just slopfaggots though

>>23372699
To be fair the tweet that went viral accused the writer of the show.

How did trans people suddenly get brought up? Are people really this brainrotted?

>>23372701
Which tweet was it?

>>23372692
I don't know about Rider, but one of Gozyuger's monster designers admitted to using AI in his work and there was a negative reaction (that wasn't entirely from westerners)

Stop the hatred on AI. They are humanity's dream.

I really wish they didn't use AI in the Zeztz teaser bros....

>>23372745

Japanese Children aged 3 - 8 with a Sunday morning timeslot of 8 am

>>23372605
>big hit in the west
Most likely not. Maybe Geats newfags will talk about it a lot but if it doesn't show it in numbers then Toei won't care.
>halt every attempt on pushing the franchise
I think it's more likely they'll keep whatever deal they had on the next show but NOT pander to capeshitfags if this one doesn't do well.
>>23372642
Ultraman didn't change anything other than make it available globally.
MMPR absolutely changed, but it changed its own version and not what Sentai is, because it had no reason to do that.
This isn't either of those cases, or Mighty Mask Rider Ranger, it's a new season that is explicitly meant to appeal to western audiences. We can't know what the fuck is up with that until it's actually out.

How is it that there are this many people with nothing better to do than shitpost? Surely there are better uses for your time

>>23372704
Have they shown the Stomach transformed in the movie trailer yet?

>>23372605
It'll probably do well enough to continue simulcasting going forward, wouldn't count on it being a massive hit.

>>23372748
You're actually fucking retarded if you think this franchise is aimed solely at children

>>23372736
So it keeps the most annoying people from watching it? Based self-gatekeeping show.

>>23372768
Takebe and Shirakura have both outright stated the age demographic for Nitiasa as a whole is 3-8 with kamen Rider being closer to the 6-9 year age range, and kids are meant to graduate from that into reading materials like Shonen manga.
>B-b-but M-MATURE THEMES!
Yeah so the moms who watch it with their single digit-aged children don't get bored, that doesn't change the fact this is a commercial for children. If you suggested Kamen Rider as a whole were for heckin adults or even teenagers to the actual production staff they would laugh in your face.

>>23372771
God bless him he was the best villain in this entire show

>>23372768
And you're a retard if you think flashing belts and funny talking little trinkets aren't aimed at children to buy. It's a kids show primarily, Zeztz isn't fucking changing that despite trying to capture a US audience. It's still a kids show, it's still using a flashy belt that slots in pokeballs that make funny noises and light up. Stop being a fucking retard and accept that.

>>23372779
low bar

>>23372690
I think it's also noticeable because Ultraman hasn't radically changed the visual style of the show but Zeztz from right out of the gate has a design that is extremely different and based on the insiders it apparently is being done specifically to try and increase Western appeal.
Zeztz being the first Rider to get international streaming would be one thing, Zeztz having a deliberate "American comic book" design would be another, it's combining the two that is potentially signaling that Rider wants to change its identity specifically for a "Western market" and specifically for the "MCU audience".

>>23372684
Just by visual design alone
>Gozyuger>Omega>Zeztz
Gozyuger isnt very inspired but they look good. Gozyu Wolf is probably my favorite Red design in years.
Omega is an ultraman with a red face. I do like the focus on the red color of Ultraman.
Zeztz isn't bad but I'm suffering from Hopper fatigue. He's a perfectly fine design honestly I'm just sick of Ichigo throwback riders.

>>23372792
>potentially signaling that Rider wants to change its identity specifically for a "Western market" and specifically for the "MCU audience"
Please for the love of all that is sacred and good in the universe DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN

The 8th Reiwa protagonist will be a beetle Rider.

>>23372798
Why? It’s a fucking Japanese kids show. It’s already being catered to coco melon watching retards.
acting elitist over this is so fucking stupid.

Western and Japanese have the same taste anyway.

>>23372800
Nice bait

>>23372798
>Please for the love of all that is sacred and good
based off this one statement you are not the correct audience for kr or this site

I just don't know if it's even gonna work. I'm not sure everyone else's story in getting into Rider, but I was a Gaim-baby who watched the original (or everything subtitled at the time) in preparation since I was a big Urobuchi fan. And then from there I fell in love with the series and watched most of the non-TVN subs. Pre 2019 anime fans I think have a decent chance of getting into Rider, but if they're trying to capitalize on modern anime fans I think most are just gonna disregard it as Power Ranger knock off shit and cringe, and I can't imagine modern day American kids having the patience to watch a show with subtitles and not just browse tiktok all day.

Who knows, I do like the design and while I do enjoy Gavv a change of pace isn't always the worst, though I do fear for the worst.

That's why Ultraman and Power Rangers are as popular as the MCU in the west right?

I’m talking about Kamen Rider.
both fans have the same taste in shows.

>>23372792
>I think it's also noticeable because Ultraman hasn't radically changed the visual style of the show

Rider has always looked much more varied than Ultraman. Zeztz is hardly a bigger visual change than something like Ex-Aid or Hibiki.

>>23372844
It would be cool if his final form had him put on an actual belt along with his original driver, and had them form a Z across his chest

I think Zeztz is a 10/10 Rider design from the waist up, makes sense that's what they show in all the teaser pictures, overall he's just okay to be honest, might look better in action.

>>23372577

Go back to what? The show is not out yet.

I honestly don't know how I'm not surprised that this thread is full of autists

Lol nice "belt" you got there, Zhitz.

Watching Ryuki. Is Tiger meant to be autistic or something? He feels completely disconnected from reality. Boy can wash dishes pretty well though

Riderman will always be peak and I will always be filtered by Ex-Aid

All Riders are.

>>23372894
even Ichigo?

Oh boy you triggered my autism. Here’s my top 3 from each era

>Heisei
Kiva, Kabuto, Den-O (Faiz runner up)
>Emperor Neo-Heisei
OOO, Wizard, Drive (W runner up)
>Reiwa
Saber, Gotchard, Gavv (Zeztz runner up)

>>23372554
any reason why they use “masked” until Double?

So everyone here is fine with the cross-body belt?

Does the bike turn into a mech like Auto Vajin or an exosuit?

Is Zeztz going to do Supaidaman ass sneaking in front of a Kingohger screen lmao

>>23372918
Wasn’t it because Dragon Knight used the Kamen Rider name so they just decided fuck it

>>23372918
95 - 08 was our hero's era.

>>23372918
Probably some old Saban contract that purposely was made so if Masked rider continued it would share the name sake for future adaptations up until Decade

>>23372826
Because he’s spamming
>>23372834
It’s discussion. You’re just spamming random images like a schizo

>>23372938
You're mistaking discussion with shitflinging.

>>23372937
No that was just the official english name until Dragon Knight.

>>23372922
if He-Man can dress the way he does and still be considered badass then a belt across the body isn’t much

>>23372922
No. It doesn’t feel like Kamen Rider anymore.

>>23372922
No, but the overall terrible suit design and the simulcast are much worse things.

>>23372922
I like the idea of it and I'm fine with him not having a waist belt since it's a experimental look and could lead to him wearing 2 belts for an upgrade.
The only thing I don't like is that the belt is more lumpy than I was expecting, it looks good from the front but from the side it looks extremely off, specially since the suit actor is buffier than usual and sadly due the size of the capsems I assume that the other faceplates won't fix this issue nor will Yezz's belt.

>>23372918
Copyright issues. Revising old copyrights is way more trouble than it's worth especially when you have dozens or hundreds of them. Much easier to keep them the way they are. Also, the use of the term "Kamen" serves as good point of separation between Heisei Phase 2 and the rest of the series.

Also, the Wang brothers developing Dragon Knight at the time, pushed for the series to be called "Kamen Rider" because that's what they knew it as growing up.

And according to this video, Dragon Knight's use of the phrase "Kamen Rider" to transform; inspired Decade's staff to use the phrase "KamenRide" for the Decadriver. Which would also explain why it's "KamenRide" and not "MaskedRide".

>>23372531 (OP)
It will be interesting getting not-primary riders with crossbody belts in the future, I wonder Zeztz means we'll get more experimental belts for the protagonists?
I hope this means we can get a belt gimmick like Driver's again

>>23372531 (OP)
>Zeztz's belt has noticeable price cut compared to the last 3 main bwlts
>Has less forms than usual
>If it's like Gavv and Gozyuger then we'll probably get less Premium Bandai stuff too
Is Bandai operating at a loss here because they're sure this show will be a commercial success? Is the main goal for this season to ease in westerner farms into their toku so they don't care about the sales and instead are taking this as an opportunity to experiment with the toyline? Or is the bit of the toy catalog that we haven't seen yet going to have a ton of capsems set that never get used as forms just like the Gochizos from Gavv?

>>23373033
No anon there’s a recession thats why there’s no $100 USD + items anymore

>>23372531 (OP)
It really sucks that Zeztz is one of the most interesting and good-looking Ichigo redesigns ever yet I cannot bring myself to give a shit about it because we've had so many redesigns in such a short time frame.
Sango and Ichigata are still my favorite reiterations of Ichigo's suit.

>>23372890
You'll notice he's meant to be mentally ill the more you keep watching.

>>23373039
I had forgotten that they entered a recession early this year, shit.

>>23372890
>Is Tiger meant to be autistic or something
He has an extreme case of hero syndrome and is to this day the most mentally ill Kamen Rider in the franchise
But no he isn't autistic

>>23373043
Not just them, globally except for maybe china.

>>23373033
I just assumed the belt is cheaper because the Capsems might have electronics in them. You'd basically be paying the price difference in the collectibles.

I can’t wait for the PDX Memorial Valenbuster! I’ll finally be able simulate the feeling of being a liability and a jobber

>>23372922
I don't like it.

>>23373056
>he doesn't already have the PDX Ninja Buckle
NGMI

>>23372922
It's fashionable and the biggest distinguishing factor he has. I'm fine with it.

>>23372922
I don't like it, but the americanized Miles Morales look is a bigger problem. I'm more concerned about how the fuck does it actually work and how will he put it on.

>>23373052
On the contrary, the capsems are ¥300 yen each, they're a dirt cheap with 0 electronics in them, you just spin the middle part two create an animation with two graphics. All of the sounds are coming from the belt again this year.

>>23373087
> I'm more concerned about how the fuck does it actually work and how will he put it on.
You put the Capsen inside the belt, press the small lever on the side and spin the ball. On how he's going to put it on: come on man
>buckle to the chest
>strap appears
exactly like how moder riders do it

>>23373033
I'm only now noticing the light piping on the edge of the belt strap. Is it just artistic flair or is the strap going to light up too?

>>23373098
The strap lights up too so that it can blend in with the other form changes

>>23373098
Probably artistic flair

>>23373087
>americanized Miles Morales look is a bigger problem
The hell are you talking about? Aside from the shitty distracting shoes I really don't get that impression
>I'm more concerned about how the fuck does it actually work and how will he put it on.
My personal guess is that he'll be wearing the belt at all times during the dreams and he's basically an organic Rider, kind of like how Gavv can't take off his belt only that in this case it's exclusive for the dream world.

>>23373106
>I really don't get that impression
nta but come on man...the eyes are literally spider-man shaped

>>23372646
PICKED. UP.

>>23373110
Spiderman shaped? Heavily slanted round eyes with sharp corners? So like Den O, Drive, Ghost, Drive, Saber, Revi and Geats?

>>23372554
Black, Kuuga, W.
I don't like any of the others but none is much more egregious than the rest.

>>23373126
You don't think Zeztz helmet resembles spider-man much more than those other riders just even a little bit?

>>23373087
More importantly, how is my belt daiza supposed to put it on?

When are we going to get an animal rider that only uses species that jump/kick? Of course we have grasshopper, but what about kangaroos, frogs, cassowaries, fleas, rabbits, or secretary birds?

I've been watching Ryuki, I'm about 30 episodes in and really can't figure out one thing: Why is the plot so dark and serious, with so much death and anguish, when the goofball comedy episodes they throw every now and then are God-Tier?
It looks like the cast is more suited and has way more fun doing them. Even Ren's actor, who's normally very stiff and awkward, kinda works in them!
Boggles the mind.

>>23373133
NTA but aside from being skintight. Not really.

>>23373133
Nta, but the second I saw that picture I thought "This is just a Spider-Man costume."

>>23373138
the comic relief bits are funnier because the rest of the show is so serious
the show has a pretty unique tone even by KR standards imo

>>23373139
It's the eyes. Black suit Spider-Man often has them drawn like that.

>>23373149
My problem is that the non-comedic bits are not particularly good, just dour. I'm not enjoying the plot or the action too much. Special effects are a definite step up from Agito, that's for sure.

>>23373133
Not any more than Revi looks like Spiderman. Since both Zeztz and Revi have eyes spanning almost the entirety of their heads. And Spiderman eyes are a lot smaller. Literally the closest similarity is both spiderman and zeztz dont have armor plates like most other riders do. Everything else feels like a stretch

>>23373138
The primary cast are solid in their personalities where they bounce off each other super well, and that applies both to their serious and comedic moments.
You place the four of them in basically any scenario together and it'd be engaging.

>>23373156
If you're 30 eps in and not really enjoying the plot it probably won't get much better for you
the action is kind of weak in Ryuki, everyone has distinct fighting styles which is cool but in fights they just sort of crash into each other and then sic their CGI monsters at each other

At least we can expect even flashier fighting scenes now that the suit actor’s waist is free

>>23373133
>>23373110
Not really, the helmet is a bike helmet with a painted texture and extended compound eyes like Revi. If anything the suit reminds me as a mix of Ultraman due to the belt in torso being kinda like a timer and Gozyuger due to the texture of the undersuit.
The only thing that reminds me of Spiderman is how skintight the suit is and the dumb shoes

>>23372577
lol gatekeeping

>>23373168
But ever since Zero-One the fights have been flashy as fuck, I don't think there will be much of a difference aside from the CGI backgrounds like King-Ohger and the extremely weird powers Zeztz seems to have.
I just how that it doesn't overuse slow-mo like King-Ohger did for 90% of the non-mecha fights.

>>23373159
>lack of armor plates like most other Riders
Try "every Rider since ZX, arguably earlier depending on how you feel about some of the Showa chest pieces"

>it probably won't get much better for you
I'm afraid it won't, but I've stuck on this much, I might as well see it through to the end. Why would they present the idea that there's 13 riders? I mean, I get it, it's Chinese Zodiac plus Kanzaki. But they've introduced only 8 so far. I feel, given that it's supposed to be a death match, they should've ditched the regular monsters and just do Rider fights all the way, where people would die more often and the stakes would be higher. Right now there's been way too many times in which the fight just stops and everyone just fucks around for a bit and goes to do something else.

>>23372637
That's an advantage, not a stigma.
GTA is extremely popular and has been for decades. Power Rangers is dead and only the MMPR generation is clinging to its corpse.

>>23373159
Zeztz looks like 90's Spider-Man. The way the eyes are shaped in the middle and the rest of the face being flat

>>23373170
The shoes really make him look like a Christmas elf.

>>23373178
It is a bit weird to not have all 13 in the TV series but I think the intent is to add a sense of unpredictability and a sort of realism to the battle royale, with the setup there isn't really a full guarantee that everyone would run into everyone else or some would be hiding and waiting for the others to tatakae and then sweep in for an easy win. It also was made to distinguish the movies with new Riders to advertise, of course.

>>23373183
Probably why I like it, McFarlane designed my fave Spidey

>>23372554
>favorite
I prefer the Showa and early Heisei designs. To me Kamen Rider's design peaked with the original. The First/Next and Shin suits make it even more apparent how Ishinomori nailed it. Black and ZO are up there.
>least favorite
Ex-Aid or something.

>>23373184
Homie is wearing croc sandals.

>>23373191
You'd think Kanzaki would make it so that everyone does meet and fight, since it's what he wants. Especially considering that he can take away the decks at any time and have the monsters eat any powerless rider.
That from a story perspective. I agree more with your other suggestion (Profit).

>>23373170
It looks like modern non-MCU Spiderman suits.

>>23373207
Zeztz's suit texture reminds me of 2012's spiderman's suit

Is there any sitcom with a serial killer as part of the main cast?

It would be cool like the old days, where they'd introduce additional riders and they'd also have their own bike.

>>23373191
The issue is that the way the show is set up it's hard to even think off-screen deaths happened. Shinji's predecessor seemed to die due to letting his monster go hungry.

We see how Ouja and Zolda get their decks so you can't have them killing off-screen Riders, and Knight although willing to kill hadn't killed anyone yet. Raia was around for a while, but he also obviously wouldn't be killing people.

Basically, only ones who could have killed the off-screen Riders are the Alternative duo and Tiger, but there's never any dialogue even suggesting that they've gotten anyone yet.

>>23373228
Ouja was originally planned to be introduced as a Rider that had already killed and stolen the Contract Monsters of Gai and Raia, but then they decided Gai and Raia would also appear in the show.

>>23373237
It was the right call. There's already too few riders in the show as it is.
(I mean too few out of the presented 13. 13 in itself is a fuckload of characters and they should never have mentioned they were that many. Probably 7 or 9 would've been better)

>>23373200
>You'd think Kanzaki would make it so that everyone does meet and fight, since it's what he wants.
i assumed that's what the point of the motw's was. since the contract monsters need to be fed, the riders have no choice but to cross paths sooner or later.

>>23373259
Then why did he have to show himself in front of the riders so often saying "WHY IS NO ONE FUCKING FIGHTING"?
I honestly feel it would've been better to ditch the motw format, present all the riders who will fight, flesh them out and not be afraid to kill most of them. As it is, I feel like they pussied out.
Alternatively, make it so the Riders are in a contest were they have to fight and beat the most motw, not fight each other, and only sometimes some riders fight because of misunderstandings or because they're assholes.

>>23373221
These western "toku" designs are always so funny to me. Do the people behind these designs even know what toku is?

>>23373266
They do but they interpret it as Green Ranger from power rangers or Luchador

>>23373226
I miss the old old days. One rider, a network of supporting cast.

There's probably more but I haven't watched them all.

>>23373295
Shadow Moon is a Kamen Rider, Black RX has the previous Showa Riders return at the end.

Shadow Moon is no rider. And a single crossover episode that is a big promo and not part of the story doesn't count.

>>23372579
>Shigeru is Stronger.
>Tendou is Strongest.
What will Zeztz be?

>>23373307
Shadow Moon is literally identical to Black Sun, even got his own Rider Kick and rides a motorcycle. If you consider Black a Kamen Rider then so is Shadow Moon.

>>23373221
>>23373266
A lot of western toku references seem to cast such a large net, usually mixing together Rider, Sentai and Ultra.
They end up with something bland instead of building up a tokusatsu design from the ground up, either that or they just kitbash and tweak already existing designs.
Really, it'd be better if they'd take a couple moments to think about things like "How would a real person wear this?"
Forgive my rant but it's why I find the new Toei Spider-Man redesign a bit meh.
Normal Spider-Man is already Tokusatsu-esque, and the new scarf and visor eyes would've been a good addition, pretty Showa, but everything else they added doesn't really invoke toku, should've just given him some boots and gloves in my opinion, or went full Reiwa and make him bulky

>>23373238
Besides those the "scarf" on his back can also become wings, his bike can turn into a robot and apparently the bike can also partially combine with him by giving him so arm and leg armor parts that extend like W's Luna form

>>23373314
Does he ever say "henshin" in all of Kamen Rider Black?
Yeah, thought so. Checkmate, atheists.

>>23373314
He was never given the "Kamen Rider" title, just like Mashin Chaser, Night Rogue, BloodStalk and Valvarad in recent times, anon. That's just how it works

>>23373310

>>23372830
I've got my money on Lango actually being smart about it and using attrition tactics to wear Shouma's stock out. Neither of them will have their best gear on them so it all comes down to who's the better fighter.

>>23373332
>He was never given the "Kamen Rider" title
He was at several points in time, his Rider status has never been a consistent thing just like the Shocker Riders'.

>>23373098
This is what lemon had to say

>>23373349
>I've got my money on Lango actually being smart about it and using attrition tactics to wear Shouma's stock out
How does the Gochipod even work anyways? The Gochizos only seem to die when the fight is over like with regular forms, rather than Over/Master having a tangible time limit like Blizzard Sorbet.

Now I'm really curious to see how pseudo rider and actual rider Yezz will look like

>>23373362
He’s homage to W and W Extreme, from half-orange half-silver pseudo-Rider form to silver-black-navy blue Rider form

All this talk about Zeztz looking like Spidaman, you think they'll give him a mecha like Zero-One and Gatchard?

>>23373097
Fair, it's literally just a slingbag. I meant more regarding the henshin sequence and pose, since he can't hold onto the belt or have any traditonal "henshin pose" start at the waist.
Gotchard was already stretching it with his stupid clap clap hand crap. Holding onto the slingbag like a girl getting mugged when putting the caps in is about as lame as it gets.

>>23373367
I'm pretty sure the CJE was just used as an example to show how Yezz colors are separated, more that him being an homage like Zeztz is to Ichigo (unless I missed out on something)

>>23373375
His bike has a robot mode and he can combine with it as well.

>>23373357
I was under impression the Gochizous were basically batteries in the Gochipod and Sorbet simply has a time limit because it's melting away.Once the fight is done and if they got any juice leftover Shouma just lets them all die at once.

>>23373377
Well he did move from a half-half form to tri-color form

>>23372531 (OP)
>>23372554
>>23372557
>>23373355
I feel dumb for just realizing that Zeztz's belt on top of being a reference to Ichigo's belt, it's also supposed to be an eye with the lever being an eyelash

It replicates faithfully the old henshin belt toyline

>>23373389
Can't believe Bandai managed to make that eyesore lever sleek and stylish.

>>23373389
And shitposters will look you dead in the eye and say that "Zeztz is proof that rider lost its identity"

>>23373389
I feel like it's both this and an eye due to the dream motif

I think Kamen Rider has lost its identity bros :/

>>23373389
Is this just a spammed repost or something? That isn't even the original typhoon or anything. It's from one of those cut down budget line henshin belt series

>>23373399
It's okay I found it and gave it back to him :)

>>23373399
Touché anon

>>23373401
>spammed repost
I've only seen it posted here thrice and we've had 3 threads since Zeztz was revealed so that's normal, the original post even said this was the budget version of the Ichigo belt.
But it seems likely that it's based on this version of the Typhoon anyway

>>23373405
It just seems like a dumb thing to be impressed by when plenty of belts past have already been homages to the typhoon as well. On top of "faithfully replicating" an explicitly cheap budget toyline not exactly being impressive either

>>23373399
You're 20 or 23 years late.

There. Much much better

>>23373406
But no one said they're impressed by that you schizo? They were just pointing out that's what it's most likely based on. People are mostly impressed by the belt being placed on the torso and the belt strap being able to change colors

I'm expecting the same duo that did the Malgalm to design the kaijin in Zeztz

>>23372531 (OP)
The head looks so small in this picture

>>23373138
>>23373160
The problem is the dynamic stays the same for so long it gets boring. Ren keeps calling Shinji a dumbass, Shinji is a good hearted goofball who keeps failing to save riders, Asakura is just pure evil and Zolda is adamant about the entire story. At most Ren and Zolda get along with Shinji more as the plot develops, but that’s about it. It’s an entire show of characters going in circles.
This dynamic works when its comedic because you don’t need growth or development to be funny, but it fails in a dramatic story.

>>23373430
Huh. Not the anon who had been exchanging messages with you, but I actually agree with all those criticisms about Ryuki. It really felt like it was spinning around and going nowhere during most of its run.

Most people don't seem bothered by it in Ryuki's case though.

>>23373316
If you wanted a toku Spiderman the obvious changes would be
>swap out mask for a helmet, it doesn't need to be bulky but it should be solid (this is probably the biggest change you can make, toku almost never does skintight masks and predominantly uses helmets for all of the major franchises)
>the web shooters are already mechanical, emphasize that by giving him larger wrist braces that go across the forearm
>to match the braces, add shin guards and a chest plate
Since Spiderman's suit not having armor makes it more akin to Sentai and Ultra suits, to make it more toku of course it makes sense to lean into Rider.

>>23373430
I posted the initial comment on this Ryuki discussion and agree with you as well. Which is a shame, since the show is supposed to have a large cast of riders and you could've played with their dynamics and have various switching groups helping or antagonizing each other. It feels like they had a strong premise but didn't really knew how to develop it.

>>23372605
I sincerely hope it flops because I don't want you faggots OR twitter having any influence on the franchise.

>>23373442
The suit looks kind of ugly up-close like that.

>>23373434

The popular opinion is that it works. So obviously, being the faggot contrarian subhumans they are, /krg/ hates it.

>>23373430
Ren is the worst because he has a clear motivation but it would turn him into either a morallydubious character at best and a straight up villain at worst, and the show won't commit to it so he keeps playing the heartless man and keeps pussying out when it comes to killing riders. Don't write him like that if you can't go all the way.

>>23373430

>>23373461
>Drive
>god-awful design
Funny way to say "I have terrible taste."

>>23373442
This suit is going to be a fucking mess by the end of the show.

So what's the point of the Zeztz design? If it's meant to show western audiences what Kamen Rider is like, it
>doesn't show what the suits actually look like, material-wise
>doesn't show what the belt actually is like, and it's not a belt
>doesn't represent the look of the series
Even if western audiences like it, and they probably won't, it doesn't carry over to any other season and just gives them the wrong idea, unless the series after Zeztz will be Masked Snyder 2.

Not gonna lie, the scene when Zeztz strolls to his bike in the dark is what sells it for me.

>>23373534
His newest ban just expired, please understand.

Oh boy, can't wait for the usual trio team rocket who dindu nuthing and its actually the organization the MC worked with which revealed to be the main villain.

I feel like Anons would discuss Zetz's design very differently if they weren't showing it abroad this season.

Why are people blaming the writer as if they have a say in whether AI is used or not?

>>23373478
They also used different materials for Zero-One. Who knows if they will stick with this or not afterwards.

>doesn't represent the look of the series

What? The only twists are the sash rather than belt and the materials. The overall design is a pretty recognizably Rider.

>>23373563

I don't know what pandering, but China is an insanely huge market and they already like the shit. Ultraman is one of the most popular media franchises in China.

And why is is that shitposters usually type either in broken english, lowercase, with unnecessary use of exclamation points or a mix between the 3?

>>23373442
I still don't understand what's up with the chin or what these Pokémon inside the Capsem are, specially with leaked future form names and ball sprites descriptions.

>>23373674
Since Zeztz is an Ichigo homage, the upgrades will differ from the path Zero-One took and the Reiwa trend of making the final forms a direct upgrade of the main form, do you think the final form will be based on New Ichigo while the Summer Movie form is based on Buff Ichigo?

>>23372557
I can't help but feel that this suit is too tailor-made for Kenta Nitta that in crossovers where the suit will most likely be worn by someone else it will look extremely weird.

>>23373993
In other appearances the suit actor will be Jiro Okamoto or the legend Seiji Takaiwa

Before this post gets used for shitposting or overreactions I want to remind you that Zeztz is still a kodomo show airing a kodomo time slot so as much of an adult show they want to be they'll always need to consider the kids in some form.
Basically Zeztz is the same situation as Build and King-Ohger which tried to appeal to adults, only that this time rather than the reasoning being to try to get older fans back and adults that aren't engaging with this franchise but to get western adults, since the western children fanbase is basically non-existent.

>>23373999
The thought process of "it's getting simulcast subs on youtube = it's going be darker to appeal to americans" is a pretty self centered very american process because naturally no one exists outside of their country.
Like the simulcast Ultraman episodes still air on TV Tokyo on Saturday mornings and that franchise hasn't become "more western." It's just ragebait farming at this point.

>>23373998
Fucking retard.

Zeztz is too cool for a Kamen Rider design after all the garish/super bright/toyetic looks we've been getting over for a decade. That's why you're feeling weirded out.

>>23373998
Jiro Okamoto would probably play Gotchard if it's a Reiwa exclusive teamup, but otherwise he always plays he breaks out role Black during team ups doesn't he?

>>23374009
Nah, the shoes are retarded. They aren't cool.

>>23373966

>>23374002

I know I'm in the minority but I actually like Linebacker Ichigo. Yeah it only exists so old fart Fujioka can still be kind of convincing as Kamen Rider, but it gives him this power-over-finesse look that works for him.

Anon, this is just how most final forms are like, it's not even a fully consistent trend in either Heisei or Reiwa. Stop making up "Reiwa trends" in your head like a schizo.

>>23374002
What if it ends up like early Heisei?

>>23374042
Well that's always fun when that happens, like with Gaim and Build.

>>23373599

They really, really wanted this suit to be light as possible, wonder how the kaijins will keep up.

>>23374042
That would be really great, I remember Wizard was meant to be like Early Heisei but got cucked due to the writer having scheduling issues and Ghost wanted to be like Showa but got cucked due to soccer moms complaining

>>23374041
When we used to get an "all-in-one" form they would shake the design even more or we would get stuff like Putotyra that uses completely different animals from the main form. They also used to shake to color scheme far more. The only thing that would mostly remain the same are usually the visors.
Meanwhile with Reiwa Zero-Two is really similar to Zero-One, Cross Saber is a recolor, Ultimate is an direct upgrade of Rex rather than a fusion like their previous two upgrades, Geats is a direct upgrade of Boost Magnum although to be fair Laser Boost already is that somewhat, similar situation with Gotchard and then Gavv's final forms are gummies with the same color scheme.
Final forms in Reiwa are noticeably less wild than late Heisei's.

>>23374002
Thing is, Ultraman did nothing noteworthy when it began simulcasting to western countries (though it's been appealing really hard to the Chinese ever since it started getting official releases over there). Kamen Rider on the other hand conveniently opens a tryhard global English Twitter account, created a show where the lead's design is a capeshit-esque version of the first Rider, and put up a fancy trailer with a serious tone narrated in full English.

mezamero isn't an english word
unrelated to the anon's original post but a lot of people are acting as if the franchise from now on are not going to appeal to japan anymore or as if the franchise magically stopped being for kids which is ridiculous, I assume that's what anon mean with ragebaiting

>>23374058
"mezamero" isn't English

>>23374056
Yep, you're an autistic schizo grasping at straws, I bet you think the 7 Reiwa Riders are based on the first 7 Heisei Riders and believe in the retarded Alphabet theory.

>I don't know about other sites but Ex-Aid brought a lot of western anons to Kamen Rider
>Zero-One introduced a lot of westerners to Kamen Rider due to it being the "start of a new era"
>Geats being arguably the most normalfag season in the west alongside Build
Even though I feel the reason that Geats is so popular in the west is due to the visuals and action than the writing, I feel like I can understand now why they picked Takahashi for Zeztz. They basically see him as the best guy to write an entry-point for the west.

>>23374031
>>23374037
Mach Driver would have the same problem.

>>23374073
>Even though I feel the reason that Geats is so popular in the west is due to the visuals and action than the writing
I mean, the show is inspired by Squid Game and Fortnite, which are very popular in the west as well.

>>23374037
but the user is immune to the fire

>>23374078
I guess you're right but that setting idea came from Takebe, I feel like Takahashi isn't the reason Geats is popular in the west but it being so popular there was probably one of the main reasons Takahashi was picked.
Man I really want to see the interviews for Zeztz.

>>23374073
It wasn’t because of the international push, they just bring him back every 3 years now. They probably decided on the global push after they hired him.

So what's Shirakura's angle here? He says stuff like this then in the next interview he shits on the Power Rangers
I really don't know if I should be afraid or not of Kamen Rider future like how Capcom almost died back when they tried to do globalization

>>23374094
>they just bring him back every 3 years now
That's coincidental, choosing a writer based on patterns is one of the most retarded things you can do as a company.
They simply brought him back for Zero-One because Omori wanted a "safe" pick and for Geats according to Takebe because the show was about games and he had written Ex-Aid

>>23374098
Rider will just be subbed, maybe dubbed like anime, since normies now embrace anime.

>>23374055
God I love the organic look

>>23374103
3 years between ex aid and zero one, then the same time until Geats and the same time until Zeztz. How is it a coincidence when it’s the same pattern happening 3 times?

>>23374094
>They probably decided on the global push after they hired him.
They've been planning the global push for several years now. Shirakura has been talking about it and it's in the investor reports.

>>23372638
is that supposed to be french fries?

>>23374110
I will never not be mad that the plot of Black Sun was such absolute dogshit.
Hey, it's a KR Black anniversary, Why don't we imagine him as a washed up asshole who refuses to fight for good until the very end, and then loses and dies?
Also, let's not put a lot of toku fights in our toku shows, we're Za Sopuranosu.

>>23374151
Well its potato sticks but yea sort of

>>23372666
was mr dangerous supposed to be gay?

>>23374157
Oren was just very camp

>>23374133
Because the official statements say otherwise and one doesn't simply hire key staffers because patterns

Why do Chinese versions have to be gaudy and overdesigned in one way or another?

>>23374168
GATTACK-SAN HAVE YOU REALLY BETRAYED US

>>23374168
Chinese design is usually pretty maximalist so I'm not surprised their toku hero suits look like they have so much such bolted to them. They both kind of have a vague IXA look to them.

>>23374055
This is why I don't understand people having a shitfit over Zeztz not having a traditional belt.

>>23374174
I just wished they had proper motifs to them

>>23374198
Yeah from what I usually see Chinese toku heroes are all basically just "sci-fi mechanical hero" without much else of a theme.

>>23374162
>the companh said it so it must be true
Bitch please

>>23374208
Yeah, because it's totally easier to believe the people in charge have extreme levels of autism and need to bring back the same writer at specific intervals of time to carry out a pattern just for the sake of it.

>>23374157
No hes just french

>>23374219
>just for the sake of it
More like because his shows often sell well and the company likes him being around. Seriously anon, are you that dense? No other kamen rider writer in modern times has been brought to do 4 shows in a decade. It’s not a coincidence, it’s intentional.

>>23374160
He was very clearly in love with Takatora.

the Zeztz suit looks like an Ultraman suit that has an Ichigo paintjob, it looks too tights to be a rider suit, makes me wonder if they get Female Riders in this show will they also be forced to wear super tight suits with a strap going across their chest?

>>23374168
In my brain this looks like Command Form Geats ran through an AI

>>23374229
Definitely not

>>23374229
Probably not but at least we'll get female Zeztz art if thats any consolation

Sketches from color:

Zeztz Technolom Stream and Esprim Recovery

>>23374243
Very low key forms, kinda Kuuga like.

>>23374243
So its like elemental based? Water and wind?

>>23374243
>the chest piece changes based on the form
oh that's cute, I like that.

>>23374243
I like the element symbols still vaguely looks like chest pieces.

>>23374256
Technolom Stream is water + wind or speed form, Esprim Recovery is defense form

Kinda like Ultraman’s Type Change.

>>23374261
pretty sure Black RX form changes predated them

>>23374265
Paradigm Wonder is leaning towards a magic-based form so I guess the Ultraman influence is kinda strong.

>>23374253
Kuuga never looked this pissed tho.

>>23374243
>>23374256
>>23374261
This is literally just kamen rider wizard

>>23374243
Hope we at least got a sketch of Yezz soon

>>23374243
Thouser-sama...

>>23374271
Wizard is the only rider that can have elemental forms?

>opening by MaximumTheHormone
How do you react?

>>23374243
>everything changes except helmet color
Is minatoP retarded? I assume he's the one came up with this idea

>>23374279

>>23374277
Ops...
>>23373317

>>23374271
But he doesn't ask nicely like Wizard does, so it doesn't count

Gavv sucks, I wanted Lakia to die and Sachika to take his powers.

>>23374243
How will the figure line work or they just release them separately?

>People on Twitter whining about no female Rider
>People on here screenshotting as if they aren't getting rage baited
This too, is the fault of Shirakura. If he didn't get his grubby hands on this franchise we wouldn't have slut belts and "Anybody can be a Kamen Rider" mentality. He ruined Kamen Rider and I will never forgive him.

>>23374286
>Wizard used Please, Wiseman used Now like a demand
I love this detail.

>>23374293
What's wrong with a female Kamen Rider? There's been a small few secondary ones. Maybe one day a main one. It's not that different from the pansy pretty boys they usually cast.

>>23374322
Nothing if they're well written. But they never are.

>>23374322
Women can never truly have a heart of justice

>>23374055
This further makes me believe Zeztz isn’t a grasshopper.

Well written women? In my homoerotic show? Well id never

>>23374347
Like Ouja to Kaixa to Genm to every Bitter Gavv user, those are true warriors Ichigo would be proud of.

>>23374355
And who's fault is it that these pretenders to the throne call themselves Kamen Rider? Shirakura, it's always his fault. If he didn't feel the need to make Ryuki, we wouldn't be in this mess.

>>23374243
>New Bodysuit for each form change
Can’t tell if this is more or less expensive than the norm.

>>23374355
The difference is they wanted me to buy the likes of Yua and Neon as heroes

>>23374354
But Kiriko, Sachika, Sawatari, Mana, Yuki among others are well written, what are you on about?

>>23374371
From my understanding more expensive, undersuits are the hardest part to make, so unless they do something like Gotchard where not all of the alternate forms have the same high-quality material I assume they're expending a lot on this and might be why he has less Q1 forms compared to other Reiwa shows.
Although I assume there are some Q1 non-forms capsem sets that we haven't seen yet just like how it was with Gavv.

>>23374322
>Maybe one day a main one
This is a show for little boys, we'll never get a female protagonist unless it's for a mature season like Amazons, the closest we could get for a mainline show is a female secondary Rider that acts as a deuteragonist.

>>23374290
Figure lines are seemingly death at the moment, we'll probably only get Physicam Impact and Inazuma Plazma

>>23374402
Even then it’s clear that they are not yet confident enough to release a solo female Rider toy on retail channel

>>23374402
>mature season with a female protagonist
What would that even be like?

>>23374322
>>23374402
The main issue even above the show itself, is that the centerpiece of the Rider toyline is the "roleplay belt", and you obviously won't get many boys buying a belt to pretend to be your female lead Rider. It's why most female Riders overall are P-Bandai or (often "and") reuse a driver used by a male Rider, with only the collectible being unique.

>>23374409
Stronger reboot where they have Tackle be the protagonist for the second season even if she'll inevitably die at the end?

>>23374412
so amazonz season 2?

>>23374411
But that doesn't prevent having a female secondary as long as she either shares the same belt as the protagonist or is PB situation like how it was like Gotchard.
Also that's not why people here don't like female riders, it's because even though having a female rider is neither a good or bad thing, every single one we've gotten so far has been poorly written. So at this point having no female riders seems like a safer choice from a writing stand point.

>>23374280
Yeah, what kind of moron would have a consistent helmet between form changes?

>>23374280
This kind of stuff is usually left to the either the chief producer, in this case Yanaka, or PLEX themselves. But since the toyline does feel kind of similar to Gotchard I wouldn't be surprised if Minato was given some authority since this is Yanaka's first season.
Either way I feel both producers have enough reasons to make the suits similar to Kuuga

I just realised how Exaid looks like he's wearing thighhighs

>>23374451
It's actually meant to be biker shorts. Ex-Aid has a minor Extreme Sports motif in the suits.

Female Riders exist so the fathers of the kids watching this show with their kids look at the girls and buy their Bikini books and gravude DVDs later.

>>23374473
Yes....the fathers of the kids.....

>>23373652
>>23373668
You want to know what doesn't look or feel like a Kamen Rider? Hibiki.

>>23374243
Really screams Ben 10 design when you add the omnitrix logo

>>23374168
That looks sick, what the fuck are you talking about?

>>23374322
/krg/ is full of actual cock-sucking cum-guzzling faggots and if they can't imagine the main rider is fucking them up the ass they can't jack off to the show.

I for one want more female riders because I am not a raging faggot and want more female figuarts to add to my collection.

>>23374498
Who says I can't imagine a female Rider fucking me in the ass with a strap-on? Dumbass.

>>23374431
Nta but I understand the point you're trying to make, however I can't deny that gold is overall a better "neutral" color compared to teal

>>23374398
Thank you.
I’m sure the bike and the sidearm will have their own Caspems.
