Rewrite A Series

[saberwriter]

Hope no one minds if I throw my hat in the ring...

Power Rangers Samurai

[HIDE]Switch the Reds; Start with Lauren and keep her for the majority of the season. And I would *totally* keep the Kagemusha angle, with Ji explaining the concept to the other Rangers. Final battle? Double Fire Buster for the ground battle, then have Lauren eject her mech from a crippled Samurai Zord for the finisher.

Spike: Make him the Gold Ranger, with Antonio as his mentor. Lots more story, especially if he has to keep up the secret from his uncle.

And just to ***k with people? Use the monster from the Decade crossover, as a tie in for a localisation of

Wait for it...

Hibiki. [/HIDE]

Decade
There's been a lot said about this series already, so I'll just keep it brief.

[HIDE]Admittedly, I'm not as clear on this, but it's something that's been on my mind a lot; Drop Yuusuke as a regular, and have Natsumi as the second Rider, unknowingly under Narutaki's control[/HIDE]

Superhero Taisen

[HIDE]As hinted in my sig, rework the opening fight. Marvelous versus Ichigo, Nigo, and V3 is a lot more credible than all 7 Legendary Riders. Have the three riders show up just as Riderman gets beaten.

Opener: Gobuster HQ: The team gets called out to a mass incursion. They arrive to find a small army of Shocker soldiers, wearing replicas of the Decadriver. *Now* have a big Rider/Sentai fight. The Gobusters get a last minute save by last year's team, the Gokaigers, Who use the PLot Exposition Key to get the story moving. Tsukasa got himself recaptured, and is being held by Shocker on the Rider War World. The majority of the Riders have been defeated, and the past Rangers teams are starting to see Rider Villains

Not sure how to work in the last few years of Rangers, but I'd want to keep the focus on the current year's teams (Gobusters and Fourze). But I would have Natsumi as the leader of the remaining Riders. Voices in my head say to make her a new version of Tackle, but YMMV[/HIDE]

Kamen Rider BLACK:
-Taki Ryusuke briefly mentions ''Uncle Kazuya'' or ''Kazuya nii-san''. He then announces he's returning to Arizona.

Kamen Rider BLACK RX:
-One of the 10 Riders says something like: ''Taki was right in trusting the safety of Japan on him when we were helpless''.

Kamen Rider Agito:
-Ichijo guest stars in a few episodes, saying that the police force might become inefficient eventually. He has a talk with Hojou. Later he is shown reporting to somebody.
-In the special, it's revealed through a scene that Kunieda-sensei is actually Taki Ryusuke undercover (Ichijo was reporting to him). The story about his son is true though, which is why he still has his doubts about Tsugami. He then asks ''Hongo'' to keep an eye on him.

Kamen Rider Ryuki:
-Once again, Ichijo guest stars, though his role is extremely small this time, probably just a passing scene. He says something about the police being truly useless by now. He watches Kido transform and says it's gonna be okay.

Kamen Rider 555:
-Both Hojou and Ichijou return. The former gives a pep talk to Takumi when he's down. Later, he and Ichijou reunite and say they should report to the others. Centipede Orphenoch is played by someone else.
-Ichijou helps the detective that's investigating the Orphenoch murders too.
-Mr. J (somehow) watches as Chaco is left on the hands of the girl. He dies happy.

Expanding:

Kamen Rider Blade:
-That friend from Amane's family that's played by Ozawa's (from Agito) actress is actually Ozawa herself. Originally, there's an emotional scene where she just says the name ''Kamen Rider'' and looks on in the distance. I get the feeling the show was implying something.
So, in this case, she reports to someone (similar to what Ichijou did). This could be Hojou. She says something like ''I believe in the Kamen Rider now''. She might say something like ''I'll go get a beer now'' to imply who she really is. A mention of G3-X is welcome too.

Kamen Rider Hibiki:
-A scene in which somebody is looking for the Tachibanas, probably Asumu. There's a mix-up and they get confused by which Tachibana he's looking for, they mention a ''Tobei'' and a ''Sakuya''.
-Tachibana Ichiro (the mentor guy who owns the tea place and leads the oni of the area) mentions how Takeshi is not the only organization fighting evil and that they have ties with Interpol and the FBI. He says Oni are not the only superhumans fighting monsters out there. Near the end of the series he mentions how Takeshi would benefit from the other heroes' help.
-Kiriya Kyousuke is erased out of existence by Sakurai Yuuto.

END SERIES SPOILERS AHEAD:
-The Douji and Hime that are seen in the laboratory creating others' are the final bosses and there's no Douji and Hime above them as shown in the end of the series. The end of the series does not leave the Makamou alive, but Hibiki and the others mention there's still enemies out there they have to fight.
END OF SPOILERS

Kamen Rider Kabuto:
-ZECT is revealed to be independent but it used to be affiliated with the government, once again: Interpol and the FBI. There's some ties to BOARD as well. Their projects, however, have nothing to do with the BOARD Riders or the police Riders (G3, G4, V1, etc.).
-Ichijou, Hojou, Ozawa and possibly Taki Ryusuke come back for some scenes. Similar to how Hongo Takeshi from THE FIRST appears (his scene is still the same and it's never acknowledged again). They want to see if these new Kamen Riders are to be trusted. After seeing Tendo and Kagami, they conclude they can and report to the other Riders.
-Kagami Riku himself mentions he knows of past Kamen Riders, and that ZECT's systems were based on them. He disclosed this information from other organizations and the Riders themselves in fear something might go wrong and it might be used for evil.

Kamen Rider Den-O:
-There's some small allusion that Owner knows what Kamen Rider is. He never actually says the words, though. There's a small allusion to alternate universes with some mention of alternate timelines.
-Kiriya Kyousuke is erased out of existence by Sakurai Yuuto.

Kamen Rider Kiva:
-You might notice a pattern here. In 1986 Shima mentions other organizations and that Wonderful Aozora is not the only one fighting monsters. He says mankind is taking a more active role to get rid of these threats after so many years of evil organizations and their monsters wrecking havoc all over the world (mostly Japan). He says the police is starting to become useless. When he introduces the IXA system he says this is one of many projects scientists all over Japan are doing, there are other similar cases. He might namedrop BOARD, ZECT or something else.
-In 2008 he talks about this again and how many of those projects were succesful. The Wonderful Aozora organization might have only had the IXA system, but they are still around due to how amazing the system itself is and they are the only ones who had been fighting against the Fangires. He says the police are much more impressive now than they used to be in the 80's and can put up a fight.
Lots of information from him: apparently after 2001 those who were capable of fighting against kaijins were recruited into the FBI, Interpol and other secret government organizations, in order to make the threats less public. The government is still fighting well against evil, but are more underground now.

Kamen Rider Decade:
-Decade's world is a world that only existed because of the others' existence. Thus, the conclusion that Decade himself has no story and only existed to destroy and create again. With what happens in All Riders vs DaiShocker, it is shown that even though he was born out of this, he still had a family and a life. The Riders knew this, and they knew he would be alive and well after everything. Both the original Yuuki Jouji and the Gackt version worked together with Hongo Takeshi to determine this.
WARNING! KUUGA SPOILERS AHEAD:
-The ''other Kuuga'' is mentioned and is explained he is absent because his belt is still broken. It's made clear that it will recover, though. Narutaki is possibly the one to say this.
END OF SPOILERS
-All the Riders before Decade (and the ones after) are in the same world, which is, Natsumi's world. This further emphasizes Decade's dimension travelling aspect by making him alien to the original Riders' world. He decides to make it his ''main world'' because of Natsumi, and so he is added to the line-up of Riders.
-Owner info-dump: Alternate timelines exist and have been created thanks to the Den-Liner's time travel and other people (Odin, Kabuto, etc.), many of these are the ones Decade travelled to. The Imagin and Ryotaro feel they have an obligation like Decade to take part in any event involving the merging or destruction of worlds. There is no alternate Den-O. Whenever Den-O & co. are seen with AR Riders (such as Movie War 2010), it's the same ones we've always known. Their importance is thus, big, and it's the reason why they've come back so much.

Not bad, but I think there are some flaws in your re-write that might needs some corrections.
Here's my version:
[HIDE]
-The Original opening scene should have Decade and a small number of Dai-Shocker combatants watching from the sidelines as Marvelous takes on the seven legendary riders. Marvelous starts with Ichi-gou, Ni-gou, V3 and Riderman. Then the other three should appear after Riderman's defeat.
-The next scene should show the Go-Busters HQ as they are having a small discussion about the next mission, then get to the Dai-Shocker invasion and then the Go-Busters/Decade fight scene towards the Gokaigers' rescuing.
-Next, have Hiromu contacting HQ about whether or not, they should follow Gokai Blue and Gokai Green.
-The next scene then shifts to the Moon as the Dai-Zangyack begin its invasion at Amanogawa High School. Only Joe and Doc are the only two survivors of the Gokaigers to warn Marvelous that Decade has "murdered" Luka, Ahim, and Gai and that the Dai-Shocker is targeting the rest of them. But Marvelous explained that it's all part of his plan to set a trap for Decade. Fourze is a little confused in this situation, but not until he encounters the Go-Busters as they explain to him the situation.
-During the Dai-Zangyack briefing, Marvelous have the Sentai villians prepare for the hunt on the "Riders of the Kougami Foundation" (Namely, OOO and the Birth Boys), while Joe and Doc are having second thoughts about the Sentais being allies with their enemies.
-On the Dai-Shocker side, Tsukasa and the "Real" Great Leader of Shocker (The main villian from Let's Go! Kamen Riders) are calling out the brainwashed Riders and Kaijins to slaughter every last Sentai once and for all, in order to take over their worlds and the Riders' world. Natsumi-kan is a prisoner aboard the Crisis Fortress. Along with a cloned version of the AR Stronger's Denpa Human Tackle for being "apart of the resistance" and then have Kaitou make an appearance to help the girls escape and then blab on about wanting to steal the Sentai's treasures, etc.
[/HIDE]

To be continued..... (I'll be back with part two later on).

 

[Tetsu]

Okay starting with the most recent first.

Fourze
Only Kengo, Yuuki and Gentaro are the first three main characters.
The whole Kamen Rider tribute was not needed, hence it is just those three in the Rabbit Hutch originally.

The story will play out as it did in the series, but the events of the Mega Max movie would be inserted into the series, so that Gentaro has a permanent love interest, and it would only be later that Nadeshiko is revealed to be SOLU. I would also choose a better name than Nadeshiko

Make a better use for powerdizer?

The foodroids should actually be able to combine into a small robot which helps the group, note this is just the cute and helpful robot, not the clumsy datas kind.

At the end Kengo would go to meet the Presenters, escorted by Nadeshiko. Both vows to return one day.

Hibiki
This is just a rewrite of the last 19 episodes, so throw all of it out.
Akira becomes an Oni for the first time after a couple of episodes.
We get to see the last five Kanto Oni in action here and there.
We get to Sabaki's human form in real life. (Seriously does anyone know who the actor was in his picture?)
I read somewhere that Kiriya was in fact going to be Asumu's brother, it might have given some interesting dynamics if Kiriya had a different character.
Todoroki should continue his wooing of Hinaka

Ibuki and Todoroki should also receive power up forms

The whole purpose of Armed Hibiki was that he was supposed to master all three styles of Brass, String and Drum. (As is evident by the coloring of Zanki's second guitar) I would possibly make him look more like the SIC armed Hibiki.

The final battle would include all 11 kanto oni with Akira on the sideline, and after that Asumu would become hibiki's disciple.

 

[Japaneseseriesfan]

Ryuki: Make it a two year series, expanding further into the mirror world with Season 1 being about Kanzaki and the Riders, and Season 2 being the new idea:

Screw the reset, it might have been extremely poetic, but still, I'd rather have another season. The second season can focus on the Mirror's World own boss, different from Kanzaki, an actual Mirror Monster that can talk and all, and he has his own plans: To make the Mirror World one with the real world.

This is where Decade steps in for a cameo, which ties into their "meeting" of the Decade series.


Faiz: I'd have Kusaka not be killed, but be turned into an Orphenoch. That man needs to have a taste of his own medicine, then I wouldn't have minded if he died after. Have Delta be more of use. Mihara was a wimp, and if only they had introduced him earlier and made him a focus, maybe he'd at least have some character development.

Also, I think Smart Brain should be wiser than this. 3 of the Emperor Belts, stolen. They should be working on back up plans, not always trying to get the other 3 back, especially all it gets you is more dead comrades. I'd have more belts be built, but only at least one more would have done the story justice, and have him be evil straight till the end, and have him die protecting the Arch Orphenoch, actually fulfilling his purpose. I'd give Kaixa an upgrade as well, since his belt seemed to be the latest on they built.

Blade: I'd just give Mutsuki a Jack Form, Garren his King Form (but not like Kenzaki's, only fuse him with the Category King, not the whole 13 Undeads), and also have Chalice utilise the Jack Form card as a form change.

Kabuto: Redesign Hyper Gatack and put him in main continuity. Include other Zectors that allows Riders to gain new powers, and have those be passed around between the non main Riders like Sasword, Drake, and TheBee.

I'd have ZECT cooperate more with the Riders selected by the Zectors, because it seemed really pointless to me that you would argue with the person who holds one of the secret weapons you designed.

Den-O: I hate Kohana, so let's go straight and cut her loose, bringing back original Hana for all time, and no de-aging anyone else, not even Ryoutarou in Decade. Have more conflict between the Taros, rather than simply getting along right after an arc or two.

Kiva: Screw Mio, she destroyed everything. It was too much of a coincidence, and to be honest, I couldn't take Wataru dating her seriously because her character was so boring. Taiga at least brought some spice to the series with his harshness, but even some of his lines seemed out of his nature. I'd have him show his Fangire Form, and give Saga an upgraded form, despite how powerful he already is, and I'd also introduce Emperor Form waaaay later.

The thing about Kiva is, if you're going to do horror with classical monsters, you need all of them there, so I'd go into writing episodes where monsters he fights aren't even Fangires, they can be from the Wolfen Race and such. Maybe even a Mummy Race, who knows.

Also, I'd hate to say this but, the Organisation seems to have like what, 3-4 members? I mean let's see the headquarters, more workers, and I doubt IXA can be the only system they produced throughout all these years, they'd need to have backups. Which is why, bringing in the 3WA might be a good idea, but don't use Rey, use a new Rider instead.

Decade: Obviously bring back the older, real Riders. Have each world they visit be similar to an episode of each series, so it feels cannon, not just some weirdass Rider travelling and meeting fake ripoff versions of our beloved heroes.

Power Rangers Samurai

[HIDE]Switch the Reds; Start with Lauren and keep her for the majority of the season. And I would *totally* keep the Kagemusha angle, with Ji explaining the concept to the other Rangers. Final battle? Double Fire Buster for the ground battle, then have Lauren eject her mech from a crippled Samurai Zord for the finisher.[/HIDE]

i'm sorry, but no. if they were to do that it wouldn't make sense to the japanese footage at all. one thing i would have changed is give the show a different theme, change the morphers to the shodophones, and most importantly HAVE NO MEGA MODE!

 

[Painted_Outlaw]

i'm sorry, but no. if they were to do that it wouldn't make sense to the japanese footage at all.

Look at Power Rangers In Space or Zeo, half the original stuff they did turned out relatively okay and prolly made no sense to the Japanese footage.

 

[Toku Prime]

Look at Power Rangers In Space or Zeo, half the original stuff they did turned out relatively okay and prolly made no sense to the Japanese footage.

He means you wouldn't be able to use the Japanese footage, as there are very few episodes featuring the female Shinken Red suit. You'd have to film a lot more, which would be prohibitively expensive compared to just having the male red for most of the run and using the Shinkenger footage.

Assuming you would use the female Shinkenred suit at all. They used the Yellow Ranger, which was a guy in Zyuranger [Because they didn't use Dai or much of Kaku, though Kaku was used for the MMAR] , Gingaman-Gaoranger and made them girls. Aside from the unsightly boner syndrome that was in the original series at times, Saban managed to make Boi , the Tiger Ranger , into the Yellow Ranger without any hitches or loss of footage. In fact, her not having a skirt was testament to how hardcore Trini was in the series.

Why not apply the same concept and have her be the red ranger throughout the majority of the series, but a de facto male leader as well to make a balance like Kakuranger?

Seeing Kyoryuger's suits, they will no doubt make green or blue a girl....and oh wait, they wouldn't have to throw away footage.

Thinking you would have to re-film it in order to make the idea fit is ludicrous and ignores the past of the series. So no, that's utterly wrong.

 

[Loghorn]

100 Riders.... How is this in any possible way an even remotely good idea? That would completely eliminate the potential for even a shred of character development, & at fifty episodes, you would have to introduce at least 2 riders an episode. No. Just No.

Yeah, 100 Kamen Riders in a single KR series kind of seems overkill (& probably would run out of ideas for Toei for future KR series in general in what to name them & how to differentiate the suits for them).

KR isn't Super Sentai in which now has about 210 senshi/helper members (211 once the 6th Kyoryuger senshi shows up).
