Kamen Rider Fourze Discussion Thread 2.0

That's true. I'm not sure I agree with the people speculating that Sonoda, Kijima and any other victims of the Dark Nebula will be brought back at the end (we've seen them all go with flowers, etc.) but it would be quite a nice ending for them to return and send Gamou there ...

 

[Aruphonse]

Mmmmm... Was Hiroaki Iwanaga given flowers when Date "left" the series? Or any other actor that received departure flowers but returned in the end?

Ugh, I don't hate Ryusei at all, but after hearing HJU Radio #34 I think I'm starting to know why I felt that his appearance is much like a drag and doesn't move the story that much forward at all. I think it was Craig who said that Ryusei's story arc seems like it from a totally different show and doesn't mix well with Fourze's story, that could be why I thought he was slowing the show down.

Also I'm rewatching Fourze right now ever since they did the midpoint talk on HJU Radio #34, and I just realized that in ep. 1 Kengo had a key to the storage room where the locker was.......... that woulda been handy to avoid all the troubles but ah well, part of the show and whatnot.

And I really do hope we get more backs story later on (or just soon) like what they did in OOO and not drag it out and shove it all in the end (like W ) about what happened with the exploded space station, and the red eyed man and all that good stuff. Unless it was all explained in Megamax then I will patiently wait for the movie.



EDIT ---- oh ya and upon rewatching episode 1 I stumbled across the pencil case guy, its so surreal and strange and yet funny at the same time seeing him in action.......... @_@ ..........

Well we're at the end of the second arc so the remaining things will probably appear soon.

1 - 18 is usually the first arc with introductions
19 - 36 is usually the second arc focusing mostly on the Secondary Rider
37 - 48+ is the end game that usually tie up as many loose ends as possible.

IIRC the Greeed actors only got flowers as they left at the end of the show. And even after the "deaths" of Mezool and Gamel during the first arc, they remained in the OP sequence, whereas Sonoda has now been removed from the OP ...

I'm brutally honest and lack of any tact too, and that's why I'm so aggressive, cynical and personal while defending my own opinions which are as respectable as yours. Just don't expect me to be nice, specially if I feel people start doing the opposite of what they've been claiming so much to the point of being annying or senseless.

Translation: Don't bother expecting me to change my opinion on stuff; It's not like I'm wrong, I'm just the victim here. :loltongue:

Seriously though, I don't *hate* Ryuusei but, I do think what he did was undoubtedly stupid; that's all I have on it.

I'd been wanting a Meteor vs Fourze battle and I'd finally got what I askd for!! I only wish it could had been longer and Fourze wasn't in Magnet State so the fight won't had been completely one sided, otherwise, it's one of my favorite Rider vs Rider fights in the franchise story wise and the way they ended the fight was just nice.

I love this episode, I love Yuuki during this episode, she was annoyingly funny and perfect synchronization there with the henshin pose. I also loved Kengo and Ryusei's performance this week. I want to see what Tomoko has to say to Ryusei next episode. I really like Ryusei as a character, I'm not saying he's not wrong at all, but I just like these anti-heroes that have to redeem themselves by the end, I think if he does redeem himself and don the Meteor belt again, he'll be one of the riders that I'll actually recognize as a 'tragic hero' albeit getting pass it all already. Heck, I like him more then Terui now.

I really hope the one-inch punch won't be written off as a "magical Ryuusei one-inch punch that temporarily stops Gentarou's heart. Though judging by next episode, maybe there's a way to revive Gentarou. They went the non cliche way with Ohsugi, I am gonna have faith in Sanjo and the rest.

I loved the "Previously, on Kamen Rider Meteor!" thing, I think it was absolutely hilarious! Would probably had worked on Kabuto too from what I'd heard about it, so not going to try watching that series though.

After watching the subs, it's pretty much clear: Hayami hated Sonoda, he REALLY hated Kijima, and now he hates Yamada. He hates any Horoscope other than himself. And since this is the second time a young kid has got one over on him, anyone thinking this could be leading up to something majorly evil on his part? He could then go out of the show in dramatic style

I really like Hayami, not so much Libra's design but I still like him. I wish he could stop being stomped over by the new Horoscopes.

Is that blue form with the ugly rocket sword the Cosmic State? Oh man it's ugly. UGLY. I'll wait until the next episode to judge it but I don't think I really like it. I'd seen an oranged color base form Fourze with two Rocket modules, what's that?

Yeah I was digging on the Meteor VS Fourze action, and I actually enjoy Ryuusei more now than i ever thought i would, mostly because its nice and humanizing to see characters slip up and make terrible fucking decisions sometimes, i mean they're high school students and they're growing up, learning, and lets be honest we ALL made/are making terrible decisions growing up

Of course the whole "last time on kamen rider meteor" thing could have been applied to kr kabuto, because Kagami/Gatack was the actual main character of the series, cuz he's the best.:thumbs:

[/HIDE]
Really?:sly: thats interesting, i usually despise final forms and I'm actually pretty damn excited for it, i think i like cosmic states cuz it reminds me of the kinds of colors/designs you'd see on one of those 1950's space toys made out of tin. I've also really enjoyed seeing fourze, a truly toyetic rider design, is becoming even more toyetic.

The orange on is "Rocket States" it was for the movie war laser core hyper battle thingy (i can't remember the names of these damn movies anymore) the one that had kamen rider nadeshiko kamen rider aqua and super tatoba in it. Its also going to be a part of the kit bash form that fourze will get in the Hyper Battle movie with Amazon via a new clear yellow drill switch

honestly i still wonder how rocket states doesn't rip gentaro in half (i realize that its toku and i should just suspend my disbelief but that was the first thing i thought when i saw rocket states)

 

[Reimon]

Got me wondering now if Fourze will get a V-Cinema spin-off if it's successful? OOO and Gokaiger both had low ratings, low DVD/Blu-Ray sales, and didn't get one. But Fourze's ratings are a bit better than OOO's now, and its toy sales are going well. So maybe there's a chance ...

If there's a spin-off for Fourze, maybe the title is called "Kamen Rider Fourze Returns: Space is here(Kitā)!!" or something like that.

 

[FieryRed]

Is it just me or do you guys also think Gentaro didn't seemed surprised when he saw that it was Ryusei who is actually Meteor at the end?
