Kamen Rider Locales

Kamen Rider Locales

Movie Wars 2010 also made me wonder about if anyone has like made a Rider atlas??? Because these fuckers are always closer than I think, given that W ran into SUPER SHOCKER!!!! and the whole Decade Final plotline completely by accident.

So it’s like an hour’s drive from the outskirts of Fuuto to That One Barren Wasteland Area Where Shocker Always Has A Secret Whatnot, we know that.

And then for Example 2 we have Zawame and Drive’s…town, which is so close by that Shinnosuke could look across a bridge to Yggdrasil Tower IF IT HADN’T BEEN FUCKIN’ REKT

(you would think that the whole crisis with the nukes Roshuo juggled would’ve been a bigger deal than the Global Freeze, really). Anyone know any others? I know Fuuto can’t be far from Eiji’s neck of the woods, either. Is most of it just supposed to be Tokyo with the occasional fictional neighbor town?

Get in it while the getting is good! If you kick it up 5,000 more dollars we get Deep State and all sorts of conspiracy nonsense and it’ll be BEAUTIFUL.

Do it for the Group. For your fellow Agents. For this terrible green unborn egg of monsters we call a world.

The mission is never over.

Nago does get better later, but it unfortunately coincides with the writers kind of, uh, losing their plot threads. Like all at once. Better Nago is the booby prize you get for this.

If this sounds intensely frustrating to watch it uh, it will be. A friend of mine has called Kiva "Wasted Potential: The Series", and I've found that to be reeeeeaaaaally accurate.

I actually do really enjoy Nago's stuff, but in the same way I enjoy, say, Tachibana. Or Kaidou.

yeah, i feel ya. it’s just… tachibana’s a mess but he’s a sweetheart, too. kaidou’s a mess but he’s weird and (when he’s not harassing mari or being rude to yuka) fairly funny. nago’s a mess and an asshole and… also just kind of a dreary, tiresome person. :/ even his memes aren’t all that fun imo

SHURIKENDORON???

I can't

Also Orga! I mean Orga is super awful and comes with brainwashing and all, but like, Yuuji got his own Rider Gear and it was badass! AND he didn't join Smart Brain of his own free will! Or torture Takumi! So pluses there?

y’know what? you’re absolutely right. we should just accept paradise lost as the one true faiz canon. it’s 10x better than the show, anyway.

we’ve got mari wielding a machine gun, kusaka dying within the first 5 minutes, keitaro as the kaixa we deserve, kaidou actually expressing care for yuka, and murakami’s weird head in a jar. what more could one need

Having now seen both Movie Wars 2010 and Super Hero Taisen

I have the headcanon that Tsukasa, when the Taisen stuff started going down, (the first sign was probably glimpsing Narutaki's latest Shocker duds) did his hair up all Great Leader and went to the Hikari Studio to talk to the group, but Kaitou was out doing Thief Stuff. And Tsukasa's just like "Hey so Natsumikan? Yusuke? Things are about to get stupid as hell." "How stupid?" "My hair is like this, I saw Narutaki in a Doktor G cosplay, and Captain Marvelous declared war on Kamen Riders." "...RIGHT. We'll, uh, we'll drink tea till you get back." "Awesome, thanks guys." "Wait, should we tell Daiki-sa--" But Tsukasa was already gone. This is why at the end of Super Hero Taisen, Diend threw such a big baby fit; he didn't get the memo. Also because Tsukasa probably befriended Gentarou offscreen.
