The Coolest Debut

[Subarunyon]

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmeBN26jOTQ"]Blade King Form -TV[/ame] (The fight itself is meh, but the transformation, BGM, and the way it just does a cliffhanger after "ROYAL STRAIGHT FLUSH" is just damnnnn)

(start at 2.48) The henshin sequence is super cool imho, but I guess the fight becomes very onesided after the upgrade

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVoDdSbRy7M"]Faiz Blaster -Movie[/ame]
Super cool, way better than TV imho; he has a decent opponent to fight, lots of cool henshins / dehenshins, the red faiz pointer shining around the stadium, topped with a pretty good finisher (always thought the final blow should've been a rider kick)

OTOH, I think the lamest entry goes to [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btEI25TA4Wo"]Rising IXA[/ame]

Titan Form's debut was pretty badass. So was Another Agito's. I loved it.

The first time Tsukasa transformed.

That was cool. I just noticed that Dragon Ranger didn't even touch Yellow when Yellow flipped. :laugh:

You guys might kill me for this, but I still remember being 11 and watching the White Ranger descend from the heavens to help the rest of the Rangers. :laugh:

I feel like I'm one of the few Americans who did not watch Power Rangers and who is part of the tokusatsu fandom.


I don't think Faiz's forms count because it's in the movie, but the movie was alternate universe and it was awesome, so it counts.

I think PR was past its heyday by the time you were old enough to watch it.

And the Faiz movie is my favorite Rider movie of all time. :thumbs:

I can't help but feel that you're testing me. :sly:

Heck yeah. :thumbs:

Not sure if this is correct but I got the impression that most final forms actually makes their debut in the movie (I know this is true for sure for Agito at least), but western fandoms don't feel that because we only get to watch the movie wayyy later. Not sure if this is true for Faiz, but I think it is because his debut in the movie is way flashier, just like Agito

I have to agree with a lot of what people are saying here. I loved the introduction of Decade, just everything about it was cool. The setting, the music and it helps that I really like the suit.

But, I think of my favorites was the debut of Kiva's Dogga form. Everything about it just clicked with me, the suit looked cool. The hammer is one of my favorite weapons and in it's first appearance it positively wrecked everything.

Also, CJX was great just for Nobody's perfect, but I'm sure you've heard that one before.
