Reacting to Every Kamen Rider Henshin and Finisher

About the Wizard narration being so polite is actually a really nice touch having the magic-themed Rider using the magic word "please".

Fun fact about Kuuga, he learned his rider kick in order to get stronger. I kinda love how he learns to rider kick instead of insta learning it

Kamen Rider did dabs before dabs were cool

30:44 Funfact: the Kiva suit was once the heaviest rider suit, this was due to the chains being made of real metal, however that also put strain on the suit actor and hence why Kiva got his final form early. Later on, the material of the chain would be changed to be more lighter. 44:58 Literally reading Rider Kick, as the katakana on the face is for Rider, which is then followed by the katakana for kick being added to the foot.

Trust me, things are gonna get crazy when you get to their Final Forms

27:38, ASK AND YE SHALL RECIEVE! to put kamen rider hibiki's premise into context, the forests and rural countrysides of japan are plagued periodically by ancient man-eating monsters called Makamou. Takeshi, is a long-standing organization of oni dedicated to hunting and exterminating makamou. the oni use "ongeki", special musical weapons to amplify elemental power and sound to defeat makamou. 3 main oni in the series are Hibiki, a flame oni who uses taiko drumsticks, Ibuki a wind oni who uses a trumpet/machine-pistol that fire special oni stones that resonate heavily with sound once the gun's trumpet mode is used, and Todoroki, a thunder oni who uses a spear that doubles as an electric guitar.

Black and RX still the GOAT till now for me. the costumes and music.

Just when you're expecting an explosion... Reverse Explosion!!

It's fine with the pauses, it's actually makes it seems like you're actually digesting it instead of just mindlessly watching lol

Not "all" of them are kicks, but it is the trademark. All main riders do have at least one variation of their finisher that is a kick. Don't apologize for pausing and talking about stuff. That's what reacting should be, don't get in the twitch mentality of "just press play and watch silently with other people that were too lazy to google the material" mentality. 27:00 this Rider season went through some stuff; they changed director and writers midway through. They were constantly going over budget for each episode, because they had this vision for giant cg monsters and stuff and it was super expensive because it was 2005. It also needed a lot of nature shots, complicated shots and music (because the Riders of the season would purify evil with music). In short, even if it was doing ok, the show wasn't paying for itself; and the second half really put a break to the spending and became really watered down (to the dismay of even the actors). It was really ahead of its time on what it was trying to do. The staff that was laid off never came back to Kamen Rider and to this day the fandom is full of rumors and fake news about what happened that year. It's kinda tragic really. 30:00 in this season, the main character is a host to multiple time-traveling "demon" djinn. Each one of his forms has he hosting one of them, and their personalities take him over. Momotaros, the red demon there, is the tropey 'dumb and loud delinquent' stereotype and is a heavy contrast with Ryoutaro, the main character. 49:05 kinda like a ghost, but no, his inner devil manifested. Those are the villains of the series, people's inner demons.

44:56 fun fact, the thing on his forehead says "kamen", his visor says "rider" and it's written "kick" on the feet. It's literally highlighting "rider kick"

You're so far my favorite Tokusatsu reactors out there, because you're not just "that's cool" or "oh I like it", but you give a time for a little observation of the details, not many reactors did that, and I hope you keep doing it that way... Also, that's fine if you keep pausing the video, we like to see how you feel about the particular show. Maybe you can pause in the end of the iteration, and you can give your opinion about that...

For Zero-One, yes, that was his first time doing it, he literally just read through the user manual seconds before

man, I really like your reaction vids. they're feel genuine and not exaggerated.

Okay, this is my favorite reaction for my video. Not that I have many, but still. Thanks for watching and enjoying it.

The injustice choice of Kuuga and Agito’s henshin 😭

Fun fact about Hibiki: His show wasn't originally going to be part of Kamen Rider. The studio just thought it would do better with the Kamen Rider name slapped on, so that's why he doesn't say "henshin" before he transforms.

54:46 Black RX was used to make the north american Saban's Masked Rider which was a power rangers tie in and spin off

Kamen Rider Shin (not to be confused with the recent Shin Kamen Rider which is a reboot of the first Kamen Rider by Hideaki Anno, the creator of Evangelion who also made Shin Godzilla and Shin Ultraman) is Toei's first of many attempts on appealing Kamen Rider to the adult fanbase. Released during the franchise hiatus after Black RX. This can be seen with the body horror transformations, darker tone and gory violence. Since then, Shin has only appeared briefly in big crossover movies. After Shin, Toei would try again with Kamen Rider: The First & The Next (also a reboot of the first Kamen Rider), Kamen Rider Amazons and Kamen Rider Black Sun. Fun fact: In Super Hero Senki back in 2021 to celebrate Kamen Rider's 50th anniversary, Shin's suit is so irreversibly damaged that they had to use a mannequin. Thus, you never see him participating in action shots, only the initial group shot of all Rider and Sentai together where he's just standing there.

I grew up with both Kamen Rider and Power Rangers. Super Sentai was a thing but they didn't really air them that much during my childhood as much as when my parents were teenagers. They went back to airing Super Sentai a lot more recently though. I grew up with the 2000s Kamen Rider. During that time period, Kamen Rider has its own identity that distinguishes it from shows like Power Rangers or Super Sentai. Kamen Rider Ryuki (2002) shifts Kamen Rider's image from heroes to just people. Meaning not all Kamen Riders are good. They are people. Some choose to do good things with their powers, while others use them for personal gains. This show introduces villain riders, anti-hero riders, anti-villain riders, and neutral riders. The series also took a continuous J-Drama-esque approach rather than a monster-of-the-week approach. Meaning there is more room for tense drama and personal conflicts between riders. Which is why, during my childhood, Kamen Rider shows were more popular among teenagers and young adults.
