Ressha Sentai ToQger vs. Kamen Rider Gaim: Spring Break Combined Special!

[NeonZ]

My point is: why is Toei so sure this stuff will sell to new audiences when they clearly don't feel the property can stand on its own without having to be promoted via Kamen Rider and/or Sentai?

Kikaider actually had an anime and OVA in the 00s, some other manga aside from Ishinomori's originals, and there was the Hakaider movie in the 90s too. It's not something that has been dead for decades, unlike the other proprieties that they've attempted to revive so far.

How will your reaction be once you realize that Wagon's one small action will ultimately create tragedy and destruction in Gaim's story somewhere down the line, judging from the beginning scene and what Not!Mai has stated?

Ryugen wasn't even all that angry about what Kouta did either until Wagon snitched which led Mai into getting captured.Spoiled rich brat probably would've paid for all her food fees and crap too.

I'm pretty sure you worked with the Heisei Riders Ichigo.

I swear to god, if it's another scam like Super Hero Taisen where they're all just PRETENDING to fight while not telling the new guys...

That's actually the plot twist for Gaim.

Sid, Takatora and the others are all super dedicated LARPers

Great! So much the better. There's no need for yet another shitty crossover then - oh, wait

This is how I wanted to see Narutaki, someone who's very complicated instead of being the one-dimensional villian he was in Decade. I'm surprised that it took 5 years to give him some character growth.

This was easily the best part of the episode. I've been waiting for years to find out just exactly what he's up to and while they're continuing what's almost a running gag of his plot never actually going anywhere.. they threw in this curve ball that makes it a lot more interesting. The mystery surrounding him is so bad that the absurdity of it has actually gone full circle and become great.

Hello, welcome from the future, tell me how was the finale for Gaim?

 

[lazycoconut]

About the same as SHT, SHTZ and the Gavan episodes of Go-Busters

(Spoilers: Takatora was dead all along and Kaito's a woman)

Kikaider has been in various KR stage shows and promotions. So the kiddies are quite used to seeing him help out the Riders. This is just the first time they do it on screen.
Unlike Gavan, Kikaider is actually a pretty "dark" character, so he should fit in well in the Gaim universe.
