VR Troopers...in Japan?

Dark Heart

The Bun Is In Your Mind
I was doing some research and I randomly typed "VR Troopers" in Japanese. I looked in Images and I found this:

Apparently, according to Google Translate, 4 to 5 episodes of VR Troopers were either dubbed or subbed in to Japanese and were aired on the Japanese Channel WOWOW. Toei even re-titled the series as "Virtual Warrior Troopers" バーチャル戦士トゥルーパーズ.

I also hear Masked Rider also got a Japanese dub too. That could explain on how Shotaro Ishinomori saw the show before his death.
 
Though Toei acknowledges that the Americans did it first when it comes to a Ranger/Rider Team Up.

Well...y'know with the rebirth of the Space Sheriffs...why not do another VR Troopers series.:laugh:

Rather it be based on Zaido, but with better suits, choreography and ultimately...why not its own thing?

Why use clunky ugly suits from the 80's when they could make their own and place it on Syfy in a co-production of some sorts? I'd rather see a VR Trooper series entirely American, but with revamped suits more akin to their Japanese designs or like Mass Effect or Halo's suits.

They might as well do that at this point because there isn't enough footage to use to justify it.

Why not another Masked Rider instead that takes VR Troopers' multiple series' of footage concept that condenses all the Riders unadapted prior to Decade into three to five Nick seasons? Reair Dragon Knight and Masked Rider and try to connect them in some fashion on Nicktoons for in the next season that features Decade. Decade-OOO could be its own while Fourze , Wizard and Gaim have their own seasons. It might be unfortunate that these stories would never be fully adapted, but take bits and pieces and weave them into a single narrative and you can have a four year bonanza of Rider Wars not unlike a kids version of Game of Thrones.

To prevent any confusion, just keep the origins of the original Riders from Edenoi while making Black some wild card Rider that does his own thing, and maybe Dex's father. Decade could be a TV film or a mini series that leads into OOO and Fourze. As they get thinned down into the shadow realm or lose powers, throw newer series suits into the mix. Older footage can be remastered and would be minimal, though the Riders after Ryuki would have plenty to use without doing much with it.

Not only is every season adapted, but the toylines that are sparse like Kuuga would be amended by others. Not to mention the S.I.C. or Figuarts line might have a chance to come over here to profit off of fans and really rich kids, alongside anything else. While it might not be the preferred way to bring Kamen Rider to America , it would be the most profitable way without treading ground that has likely been seen in other countries, while being a new concept for American audiences.

Must have a giant chicken in the cast.:castlerock:

Man, VR Troopers has so much concepts to play with and I mean Stargate/Sliders dimensional travel.

Edenite Warriors -> Showa Era Riders
Ventaran Knights -> Ryuki Riders

You know out of the dimensional travel Rider shows...Gaim seems to execute it well...as it gives you that Stargate Vibe.
