Are Heisei Kamen Riders TRUE Kamen Riders

[KingRanger]

Except for a few exceptions like Tendou or Hibiki, most of the Heisei ones aren't real riders, they are just pansy assed idiots who are better served as comic relief and lacking in any of the serious characteristics that define a KR. If Ishinomori learned that Toei made guys like Wataru and Ryotaro, KR he would be rolling in his grave.

What a load of bull. Heh. Ok, I'll bite... What are "SERIOUS chararacteristics" of a kamen rider?

Agreed. Speaking of which, this HEISEI ERA KRs did have something that was lacking compared to the Showa Era KRs. The Rider Kicks HAVE to be belt tapped and not as automatic as they are suppossed to be(except for IXA)

That's because majority of Heisei riders are just regular humans in a power suit, which means they have to give it commands. Majority of Shouwa riders were shinzo-ningen, so they were already super human from the get go.

Kiva didn't have to do anything but release the constraints on his leg to do his kick, so its obviously a human vs cyborg vs inhuman issue.

The essence of Kamen Rider is not their character but a warrior of justice who fights for those who need him against those who are unjust. KR 1 may have been cool and what not and manly man but V3 was brash and hot headed. Kabuto was just an amplified by 25 times Stronger in terms of character.

It's not the character, the looks (you have to take into consideration what was "idol" material of those days), or look. But their purpose and morals as a Kamen Rider.

People seem to miss that, so caught up in this elitist attitude that Shouwa did it better.

Merk wins for best post. Agreed.

All of this stupid crap trying to compare heisei with showa & prove one to be better than the other is a huge waste of time & makes you look dumb to say certain ones are true & then the rest aren't. Um yeah whatever. >> They are heroes that save people either way you want to look at it.

The next generation will probally go "ARE -INSERT GENERATION NAME- TRUE KAMEN RIDERS?"

And then compare it to the hesei era.

So it's agreed that the Showa series already did the majority of the things the Heisei did...with a exception of a few tweaks and additions that are worth noting...slowly raise your hand...

You guys are really into this stuff, huh?

You always this negative when other people have a curiosity?

When they diss interesting characters and excellent shows on a purely superficial basis, sure.
