That was another great Gokaiger episode.

It was awesome seeing a fight in the cockpit of the mecha, and Ahim was on fire. The pink Abaranger key is just crazy fan service, although it wasn't used much at all.

Next week looks great, since we get to see more of Joe's nemesis.

Yeah me too, wonder how they get her to join?

I hope she joins them after a meaningful episode of friendship and etc. I also hope her switch is kick ass too. Above image does nothing for me....
I lie. hnnnghgngh

Man I still can't get over that rider kick in space. The special effects on the show are very much on point.

Hell at least that would've made sense as to why he went on a rampage as a villain. With two one good and one bad and memory loss, etc. Ugh my head hurts. Follow toku gaf if you have links as to why stuff was changed like this and etc please link me. Now I want to rant further.

Basically, as far as Decade's finale goes:

-> Main Producer originally announced that All Riders vs Dai-Shocker would be the show's finale, taking place after the tv show.

-> At some point, they changed plans, decided to make a post series movie to be the finale, and moved All Riders vs Dai-Shocker to take place before the final arc of the tv show in a rather sloppy way.

-> The final movie was originally announced to be a double feature with separate Double movie and Decade movie. They were "All Riders vs Decade" and "Double: Episode Zero". The teaser for the movie that aired alongside the finale was originally recorded right alongside the final episodes of the tv show, so it was a teaser for "All Riders vs Decade". The movie went far enough into production that it was even listed by some theaters, after the tv show had already ended, before being replaced by...

-> Finally, we ended up with the triple feature Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider Movie Wars 2010, with Decade: The Last Story, Double: Begin's Night and Movie Wars 2010 proper. During all those changes, the scale of Decade's movie was clearly scaled down (not an All Riders feature anymore, so many Riders cut, including Stronger, so they had to change Tackle's story too, but still use her somehow because they already had her new suit made).

-> On top of that, Narutaki was seemingly meant to get some kind of monster form (some material for Movie Wars 2010 still references his "hidden combat potential"), even when the project became the final Movie Wars 2010, but the suit somehow wasn't made. As a result, he's just written off during the final battle of the movie, rather than getting any closure.

However, having said all that, Decade going around killing all the Riders would always happen. If you rewatch the earlier Decade episodes, they keep reusing Wataru's words in the first episode about Decade killing everyone to save the worlds. Narutaki even talks about Decade killing every Rider and then dying himself in the original tv show finale. It was always meant to be there. The other Tsukasa presumably would have a role closer to Doras in the final movie, as leader of Shocker, just to have someone around for a final battle with all Riders fighting alongside each other, after fighting against each other early on, rather than having anything to do with the whole destruction/rebirth story.
 
Fun Gokai ep. Gai was lookin' pretty sharp, and Ahim's awesome.

Cute goth chick, awesome bike stuff, power of friendship, ROCKET RIDER DRILL KICK IN SPACE. Fourze keeps on keepin' on.

With the whole "Masked Riders urban legend" thing, I'd really like them to being Fujioka back for an episode. Not just voicing Rider 1 or whatever, a full-on appearance as Takeshi Hongo. The Tomica Hero people knew that he's still a boss.

This is pretty logical and actually is what I had in mind when I watched Movie Wars 2010, but was there an actual source on this?

It's pretty obvious that they didn't plan showa riders to show up on the TV series though.

Well, it used to be popular. And technically we still have "toku"
 
Ookami-kun said:

I think we've briefly touched on this before in this thread, but in terms colloquial English toku refers more specifically to Japanese (and Japanese-style) shows.

I know it technically means any live action production with special effects, but as a borrowed word in English it's taken on certain connotations. For example, Star Trek is technically tokusatsu, but it wouldn't necessarily be my first choice if someone asked for toku recommendations (just like I wouldn't straight up go for something like Daria if someone asked for anime recommendations; it'd be technically correct, but obviously not what they were asking for).
 
So I was watching Thor, and it had an enemy that was straight out of a Toku show.

And it looked terrible because it was CGI, bad CGI. If they had used a real suit, and just used practical perspective effects to make it seem bigger (since it was a giant), it would have looked much better.

Also, baby yellow.

frost giants or the destroyer? hell thor was a toku character himself. just look at when he grabs the hammer in the end(yeah, im aware what toku means)

that kid is clearly saying "deal with it".

The destroyer. The Front Giants were understandably CGI, and it looked fine.

But that Destroyer is practically a suit.
 
I thought Thor was gonna be pure crap just from seeing a preview on TV showing part of that fight. That was the worst special effect in the movie by far, imo.
 
My Ryuki and Putotyra arrived today

Dragreder is glorious but also a pain in the ass to set up, and I'm still not confident he'll stay up
 
Why was the theme for Kamen Rider Kabuto: God Speed Love, "God Bless Amerlca"? Made for seem badass scenes but it is a bit weird.

This thread and ashens reviewing pirated toys make me wonder if you guys have seen pirated toku toys

I've seen pirated 'GaoRangers: Aba Force' toys, and stuff like that on Flea Markets and some Toy stores that genuinely don't know they are pirated toys.
 
Ookami-kun said:

I'm Indonesian. You can be sure as hell I'v seen one.

Actually, the bootleg toys are useful if, say, you're a toy modder. Grab some Power Rangers Superman Force Shit figures, grab some paint and epoxy (and skill) and poof, you have yourself any hero you wanted. It's good for learning, too, before you jump in with the real toys.
 
The sad part is, I found a repainted Ultraman when I was a kid that was a thousand times cooler than any of my Power Rangers stuff
 
Tomy doesn't seem to screw people around though. Now if it was Hasbro itself who did the toys, that's another thing.
 
So I was kicking(haha) around henshin fever, and there's scans of fourze sporting a different form. It looks like Gentarou will have an electricity focused form, where all the white in his suit is yellow.

Given the last few series, a whole rider form for a particular element or style has been very popular for toy purposes. There's also talk of the second rider being an alien? I hardly believe that one though. Ep. 3 raw is out probably going to watch it before going into work later.
 
Hopefully it's not a "I look human but I'm definitely an alien!" bullshit.

Hopefully it's like Doggie Kruger :D

Hey, you calm yourself over there sir.

edit: I was messing around facebook and I found a page : When I have a problem...RIDER KICK! ahahah.

I'm just kinda tired on "let's use humans as aliens!" crap especially when we have pretty much available resources to make them look believable on TV!

True but chances are it's going to be a human and more specifically Kengo anyway. The rumor were for jefusion so you'll have to excuse my skepticism.

What's this? The details look really nice.

EDIT:

Man, the early episodes of any Kamen Rider series was always the best. Hopefully with Koichi Sakamoto on board we will see a lot of wirework battles like this week's Fourze.

I think it's a figure that popped up on hobby sites. A lot of toys and merchandise have been coming through since it aired. I don't know if the belt is on sale yet but I want to her the sound effects.
