Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight - The Official Thread

[Blade Dancer]

Let me get this straight:

[HIDE]Adam betrays his whole planet -- causing everyone he was sworn to protect to become slaves rebuilding an alien world -- for some pussy, and he doesn't get punished for it?

The Earth Riders get their memories wiped and Retcon Master cures Chris' asthma so he can become a Marine? So, there's no consequences for ANYTHING that happened?[/HIDE]

God, I need a drink.

It's a great lesson for the kids. :thumbs:

****. That means we could've had proper english rips all these weeks, lol

I'm betting they would have been removed from youtube before you could say "copyright infringement" though.

Watching the finale, I'll edit this post after the next CM break.

[hide]I can confirm Xaviax being blown up to bits. Thank you, episode preview!

Some undeterminate time after the fight, Grace's book shop has now turned into a huge bookstore. Maya is in there signing books, it is implied it's her own's. Trent and that other girl friend are next to her, smiling. Maya goes into flashback mode, remembering the time when she saw Kit morphing for the first time, when she morphed into Siren, and the battle when Kit got vented.

EDIT: Looks like there's gonna be a lot of recapping. Maya is still on flashbackland, going through some key moments such as Xaviax handing Adam the DK deck, Adam and Len meeting again, Len and Eubulon, the Ventaran Rider trio, Kit's and Kase's return, and Onyx VS DK.

EDIT 2: Never have I been more grateful towards Televisa's 3-minute skips. More flashback action which ends on the very same scene I didn't get to see this Wednesday (yay!) Though nothing much can be said about Xaviax's destruction. After using the Link Vent card, all the riders shoot a beam from their visors. Xaviax uses his shield, but he's overpowered by the riders. His last words are "YOU SHALL PAY FOR THIS!!!", his head morphing on generic-alien-head-pastede-on-yay for a brief moment, then he morphs into his General Xaviax form before he explodes.

Maya's narration goes back to the present. All Ventarans and Earthlings kidnapped were rescued and returned to their respective planets. As for the Earth riders, Eubulon rescued them from the Advent Void, erasing their memories of the events of the series. Eubulon also cured Sting's asthma, and he's now on the military, his dream fulfilled.

Adam quit being a Rider. We see him helping unload some stuff from a truck, Sarah next to him.

Back on the no-men base, Eubulon presents Kit with the Onyx and the DK deck. After a brief moment, Kit grabs DK's deck and bows to Eubulon, thanking him. "Welcome to the family... Dragon Knight." Kase and Len smile.

Trent now works with the no-men, working on interplanetarian relations (between Earth and Ventara of course). We see him talking to Michelle and Price. Trent spills some coffee on Michelle's shoes. She looks at him and seems like she's gonna yell at him, but instead she smiles awkwardly. "Michelle's learning some patience, also..."

Lacey now works at Grace's. They've got a clothing department now.

As for Maya, though she was forbidden by Michelle to reveal stuff about Xaviax and Ventara, she decided to write instead a sci-fi novel for kids titled "Mirror World". We see her signing her books when someone arrives. She takes the book and asks who's it for. Kit smiles. Maya writes "Kit: For happy endings!"

We see Price waiting for Maya outside the books section. Trent and Lacey smile while Maya goes to meet him. Slowly but surely, they hold hands. Aww.

We see Kit hugging his dad, while Maya tells us Eubulon cured him. Kit, his dad, Len and Kase are walking down the street, smiling and chatting, when Kit spots Eubulon on a mirror reflection. Maya mentions that Eubulon told them there are a lot of worlds behind the mirrors with many dangers lying inside. Kit calls the others, tells his dad something and leaves with Len and Kase. We see the three of them morphing into DK, WK and Siren. Sky shot. And credits.[/hide]

And that's all, folks.

[hide]Um, yeah. That was... underwhelming. I was expecting more out of the ending, but oh well. Like 95% of the episode was a recap. The last five paragraphs I wrote amount to five minutes, just to give you an idea. :sweat:[/hide]

Woah! Woah! Woah! This one is going to hit the Guiness book for the awesomeness man. I really do hope that they'll be make another adaptation or another series for KRDK. Like I want to see a Final Vent barrage from the Ventaran Kamen Riders plus more Advent Beast appearances.

Trent a diplomat? KEWL!

Man, did they just say Scott Bailey's Price/Strike and Aria Alistar's Maya Young holding hands? WOAH! The 2nd love team just got themselves made out of KRDK's 40 episode? Awesome!:buttrock:

Kit becomes Dragon Knight again and reunited with his dad? SWEETNESS!:buttrock:

Kamen Rider Sting's Earth counterpart cured? Super cool! He is a hero!

And more planets or worlds? Wait, this just becomes an easy way for Adness to create more adaptations till they adapt all the way to Decade or even W. This is TRULY and ingenuity of the Wang Team thanks to Nathan Long's World Build-up part.

Wow! This is gonna be the mark of the new wave of US Tokusatsu. The Tokusatsu Revolution has been initiated once more.

ADNESS, please give us some more!

Then again...it may set up something...

*hears the Time Train Denliner*


ONORE DEKEIDO!!!

*fan blows in face*

Hahaha!:laugh: There you have it again. *calls the Taros to go to Freedom-san*

Yup, in both the High Def and even standard def you can change the audio for most semi-recent show movies (anything from the 90s and later usually is), some older shows aren't though as well as some movies. TV Azteca though only has english audio for the standard def so I have to chose to watch The Simpsons in english or in good quality. No cable or satellite required either...

???? So this means that we could've gotten ourselves English rips from them all along? OH NO! These should've been what were all uploaded last time so that I won't be angry for not understanding what they are saying.

Found a good treasure trove of KRDK Japanese magazine scans:

Also found some good quality production pics of Dragon Knight, some you may have not have seen before: here.

Kamen Rider (Hibiki) or something. All I know is that ends with a "KI" in the sentence.

BTW, this is awesome man. I love it.

[hide]Now that I've looked a the episode, I see that they could have done a lot better. For one thing, we may know Vic's story from promotional material, but they should have covered it in the show as well.

If I can think of anything else, I'll be sure to post it.[/hide]

God, I need a drink.

Correct, Eubulon is the wonderful Wizard of Oz. The entire series might as well have been a dream.

THIS was the show that was supposed be the best thing for children's television ever, and they pull some **** like THAT?

**** this show, man. **** this show. :nono:

**** this show, man. **** this show. :nono:

I already asked you this at RB, but does this make you wish that there was a new PR season next year?

Also, the Advent Cards section on the KRDK site is now complete. They're calling Genocider "Cerebeast".

Well, if I recall correctly they *did* make him tell his love interest what he did... But it's definitely not high on the "punishment" list.

 

[Mr. Underachiever]

I wished there was a new PR season next year anyway, but, yeah, if THIS is the show that's supposed to be the successor, I can't wait until PR is inevitably revived, lest they DRASTICALLY improve the next adaptation.

 

[nerefir]

Spoilers aren't supposed to be disappointing :disappoin

 

[Kamen Rider Oni]

No one on the production side ever had the thought that this was a bad idea? Oh right... the kiddies...

Well I'm done with Dragon Knight. Wake me up when we get something good again.

 

[Mr. Underachiever]

Reading these spoilers makes me realize that Nathan Long was spouting out SO MUCH BULLSHIT in his interview.
