Kamen Rider OOO - Talk Up!

[garfield15]

Perhaps more importantly, the word "scan" isn't recorded as existing in English in its present form until the 14th Century, and the sense of "charge" to mean "rush into battle" until the 16th. For that matter, how would the belt know about the existence of jungle animals like Cheetahs, especially when the abbreviations used are being derived from English words? And for god's sake, when it speaks Japanese, why isn't it using proper Classical Japanese pronunciations, in accordance with the recorded language of the 13th Century, instead of the Gendaiteki Kanazukai, which wasn't even standardized until the post-war era?!

And while I'm at it, the belt should really be singing in the style of the lamentative biwa hoshi. Or a saibara, at least. I mean, come on, guys! You're totally wasting your theme!

:laugh:

Rider belts are serious business

The better question is why English is printed on them.

The better question is why a concept as brain-crushingly dumb as the Battle Fight was allowed past the concept stage.

What was wrong with it? I always figured it as symbolic of evolution/nature in general. All species compete with each other to survive, and eventually one rises to be dominant over the rest in any given environment. The Undeads each represented a particular species. BOARD (specifically Tenouji) tried to play God and manipulate the situation for their own goals. (Thus restarting the Royale and creating the Riders, Trials and Kerberos.)

Now whether or not it was executed well is one thing. But the concept itself I found intriguing.

What's odd is the sword says 'Triple Scanning Charge' but apparently the belt only says 'Scanning Charge' while they both use three medals.

It's the same logic behind how Eiji recently went to India despite being a hobo.
It's a kid's show, therefore, it doesn't have to make sense.

Another observation: why does the belt speak English? It was sealed in the 13th century, long before Westerners began interacting with Japan on a significant scale. If you really want to compare Den-O to OOO, just look here: another case where toys defy show logic.

And will we see any of Ankh's Yummies at some point?

Maybe around the late 30s?

Oh s***, do not call it that around here.

Eiji probably found work on a ship to travel. He grabs jobs all over the place and doesn't seem picky about his work.

I'm surprised he hasn't started looking for a job yet... where did he get new underwear without holes?!

 

[Darkster]

It's like everyone's discarding the idea of Peace Corp.-like work for Eiji.
