2013 Rider: Kamen Rider Gaim - News/Rumors thread

[Shiba19]

Who was the last real "insect" Rider? Kabuto?

Auctally, i think it's Double

 

[MaX Kazuki]

OOO Gatakiriba if you count form, or Tatoba (the Batta leg part )

edit: A side note, Double has horns resembling a Kuwagata beetle while Accel's horn resembling Kabuto beetle

From my understanding, rather than actually being based on bugs, w was based on the showa era Kamen Rider designs, which makes him bug-based by-proxy, rather than being actually based on a bug, he's just based on characters based on bugs. Technically the last rider who had a bug themed appearance would've been OOO with the Gatakiriba combo. It was based on a beetle.

But then, OOO Gatakiriba appeared only few times during the series (and movies). Ironic as he's bug-themed Rider ,this matter is even highlighted in OOO net movie :laugh:

God forbid Kamen Rider had an insect theme.

You win. I don't know what, but you win again Masta.

HH: Regarding Kamen Rider Griton. He’s more of a nut, why is that?
Takebe: That’s because Gen Urobuchi said he wanted to put the locks in different ranks. He thought nuts would be a good idea. Just like in OOO, you had Cell Medals and Core Medals separating each other. In Gaim there will be fruits and nuts.

so maybe Griton is indeed somewhat like a Riotrooper after all....

I don't really see the bird features myself, but it's always cool to know about these things.

Gaim's mask looks somewhat like a bird, at least to me. The thing in the middle of the crescent is the bird's head and beak, the blue/yellow parts on the sides (depending on how you see it) are the wings.

Takebe thinking trains are as crazy as fruits got me laughing and sad at the same time.

''Next Sentai will be based on food, with the mechas forming to resemble a pizza! What? It's just like that time we did it with cars.''

Well Rider had come of using bugs and dragons for most of the Heisei era, with Hibiki being the exception.

Actually, Rider was always like that EVEN during the Showa era (KR Amazon was a "Komodo Dragon" motif, the rest of the Showa Riders were bug motifs of course)............Hibiki and Den-O is when the game started to change up for Rider motifs
