unless you have some proof that Shadow Moon is a Rider, your counterargument is losing badly.
My last off topic post about Shadowmoon issue in this thread.
There's too much evidence that support Shadowmoon as a rider. This is just a few of those (but not limited to) :
- Has the same operation method as the Black Sun. Except that he got brainwashed unlike the Black Sun.
- Has Kamen Rider traditional design
- Has a rider kick as one of his finishers (even Hibiki oni and some modern kamen riders don't have)
- He rode the Battle Hopper in certain last eps. of Kamen Rider Black. Too bad that Battle Hopper has a bug which makes itself sympathized with the Black Sun. Even some modern kamen riders don't have any rider bikes
- and many more
I understand that the above examples, perhaps, is not enough to prove that Shadowmoon is a rider. But, like I said before, on the other hand, there's nobody who is able to prove that Shadowmoon is not a rider based on official statement from Toei.
There's a certain article in kamen rider wikia or regular wikipedia that state Toei don't acknowledge Shadowmoon as a rider without the footnote link that prove their source. I believe those people who claim Shadowmoon is not a rider must have based their opinion only on that wiki article. They claimed that their source is from official magazines and stuff but no one knows whether they talk about the truth.
Human Tackle is not a rider but Shadowmoon is a rider indeed.
FYI: I have account in wikipedia and kamen rider wikia (of course with other nickname). I wrote some false information with false footnote links in some articles there and it currently remains unchanged/unfixed.
