A couple of years ago, a friend of mine auditioned for a role in the pilot for "Dragon Knight," and we posted a story about this on my old website, Henshin! Online. Many North American toku fans scoffed at our story and claimed that we were posting a hoax, or told us we were punk'd. After several days, our source asked us to take it down when he thought that leaking the story might ruin his chances for being hired. This seemed to convince the a-holes that they were right. Now, that the series is reality, confirms that our story was indeed true, and that all of those who bagged on us should apologizing. But, they won't, because they aren't men enough to do so.
Well August, it was your story on Henshin Online is what gave people hope that the Saban Curse would be broken. Though the working title being "Future Dragon Rider" made cringe a bit because Ryuki was my "first" Rider series and the news kinda recalled Masked Rider from 1995-1996 for a lot of people not to mention attaching Kamen Rider to the Disney name. At least 1/2 of that article did come true...Jason David Frank came back to Power Rangers.:sweat:
Before that...
"Kamen Rider Future Dragon"
"Power Rangers Reloaded"
:laugh:
And I found about KRDK from Masked_Rider_Aftershock.
And we should also note the other fan theories, fan rants, fan jokes, and other fandom crap that accumulated from JH and RB...this was before HJU, Keith.
* Steve Wang taking the helm...mainly because of the Guyver Movies he did. Result: It happened.:buttrock:
* People poking fun at 4Kids getting Ryuki. Result: It happened...THANKS A LOT!!!:shakefist
* Shotaro Ishinomori being credited for Masked Rider. Result: It happened.:buttrock:
* Power Ranger cameos. Result: Didn't happen, but it seemed Jason Frank did imply that was the original intent.
* An instrumental or English Dub of "Alive A Life". Result: NO CHANCE IN HELL...*cries*
* Ron Wasserman, Super Power, Jeremy Sweet, etc doing BGMs for "Ryuki." Result: NO CHANCE EITHER...*cries again*
* "Masked Rider Dragon Knight" being the title of the series. Result: Half and half...the translation of "Ryuki" was kept...but surprisingly, they used the "Kamen Rider" name...AND ALL THE "KAMEN" PUNS THAT CAME WITH IT!!!:sly::shakefist
