Tokusatsu Thread (Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Ultraman and the likes)

Oh ya…. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
 
 
@SquiggyBomb  
Been meaning to watch a number of the seasons, only seen a few episodes in no kind of order or anything, but it still makes it hurt to be included with the shit.

Nitoh is an all around better character than Haruto.

I really wish they could have used Yukina Sawaki a bit more since she could have been a pretty cool rider.

@apegacine  
Female riders don’t really get a lot of show time, especially when compared to super sentai.

@09MurphyM  
that and they’re USUALLY killed off.

@OptimusPrimevil  
Yeah, that too.

@apegacine  
Looking at who was on the writing staff on Agito, having more of her would of meant she would of had a more saddening(and likely even more horrible) death.
 
 
@OptimusPrimevil  
@09MurphyM  
And given who was at the reins of a number of them, you know why some hope anytime a female rider comes up that “his” name isn’t anywhere on the show/movie.

@Prof.NightJack
 
…Inoue wasn’t involved with ANY of the shows or movies that killed a female Rider off. …Well, okay, he wrote a few episodes of Ryuki, but Kamen Rider Femme was only in the AU movies. And I’m pretty sure that Kiva didn’t kill off either of its female Riders (unless you count Wataru’s mother dying off-screen in between the 1986 parts of the show and the 2008 parts).

@Jarkes  
It’s more that he is so unfair to female riders, not that he kills them all.

@Jarkes  
Also if you want to pull the thing about Femme being in a AU movie, then you can use that fact that technically the use of Ixa only once doesn’t make Megumi and Yuri count as female riders, as the idea is a female rider is one in there own right.  
It’s why Electro-Wave Human Tackle not being counted as an offical female rider is suck a big topic for some fans.  
Two cases where the rider system used mostly by a male characters get used only one time by some female characters get to be seen as riders but the one that was a big ally to a main rider and was around a lot doesn’t, kind of bull.
 
Bottom line, Inoue + female rider = things not going well for said female rider.

@Prof.NightJack
 
I think it’s more just female characters in general with Inoue (at least, post-Agito, anyway; Ako and Kaori were treated fairly well in Jetman).

So something new got announced.  
 
Kamen Rider Drive Saga: Kamen Rider Mach & Kamen Rider Heart  
And Two new shift cars will be in it.  

@Prof.NightJack
 
Huh. I….huh.

has anyone tried putting yokai medals into the OOO driver just for the lulz?

KOPIJI!

@WM-R  
My thoughts exactly.

@SquiggyBomb
 
@Prof.NightJack
 
me and my friends were out last night and the japanese fast food restaurant had a vending machine selling stuff. yokai medals was among them. in terms of thickness, they’re too thin but i was guesstimating they’re the same size as core medals.

Apparently This was going to be the Ohranger ending theme at some point

@OptimusPrimevil  
I think I saw that the core medal are listed as 3 cm across, and looking at my yokai medals they are maybe just over 3 and 1/2 cm.
 
Edit, just check to be sure, the yokai medal is 4 cm, and found an image of an add for show accurate sized core medal set that was made for the 40th anniversary of Kamen Rider, and it shows the size of them compared to the toys.  
 
So the yokai medal toys are between the two.
 
 
@trashboat  
Make me wonder if there are many other unused toku songs out there.

Millionfold Curiosity is doing Dynaman.

@Prof.NightJack  
interesting

I’m absolutely adoring Dynaman so far.
 
I’m not sure what it is. But It’s just so likable of a show.

Fun fact: Dynaman was originally going to be a baseball themed sentai before they went with the explosion theme instead.

@09MurphyM
 
Technically, they went with a SCIENCE theme, but yeah, it did get pretty heavy with the explosions.
 
You can still kind of see vestiges of the baseball theme in the final suit designs, Dyna Robo’s finisher, and how you can hear the crack of a metal bat at one point during the opening theme.

@Jarkes  
It makes you wonder what the Baseball theme would have been like.
