Kamen Rider Kuuga General Discussion Thread

Yeah I dunno, I just felt like I needed a bit of visual evidence and not just characters telling me that's how it is. Like, actually show Godai losing control some way that's a little more impactful than killing a Grongi in a slightly more forceful way.

Then you probably mistaken Kuuga with the more recent KRs which focuses more on fight scenes and action. Kuuga's writing is more like J-Cop Dramas where the fights isn't really the core, but the interaction with the characters.

Actually someone remind me - that time he turned to Amazing Mighty form I thought he just did a regular Rider Kick and nothing too horrible or terrible?

His eyes glowed, then ran towards Go-Gadoru-Ba while both feet are burning. He jumped, spun, and did a drop kick... Then instead of the usual wide-radius explosion, we got a high intensity explosion reaching for the skies.

I remember my first reaction when I saw Rising Mighty and Amazing Mighty's Rider kick explosion!

For Rising Mighty, I was like... Godai is screwed... :shakefist:laugh:

Let's just say that Godai did became the black eyed Ultimate Kuuga, then you will have Ichigou shooting Godai in the Amadan and killing him in the process to protect the whole world. The way Godai killed the porcupine Grongi was much more violent than how he would end fights with. I don't think we need much more visual evidences than this and what the story and character had told us.

There wasn't anything horrible that happened when he turned Amazing Mighty, but the explosions from him rider kicking the beatle grongi was pretty big. First time in the show they lighted up his eyes if I'm not mistaken?

Kenzaki...just never felt very Godai-ish to me. I don't know why.

Same here. The impression that I'd got of Kenzaki's is that he's doing all the Undead hunting and stuff solely for the money, at least in the very beginning anyways. Didn't felt much of an intention to save lives coming from him.

I believe the first time was before the debut of Rising Mighty Form, in the Super Secret video where Kuuga battles Go-Jiino-Da. IIRC, the Mighty Form's eyes lighted up in that video.

Super Secret Video...as in the Hyper Battle Videos?

Nope, Super Secret Video.

Please enlighten me on what is that?

 

[Igadevil]

It's just the name for Kuuga's equivalent of a Hyper Battle Video. Like how some of them are "Super Battle", etc.

Amazing Mighty was awesome. I love his corkscrew kick with both feet.
