Kyoryuger! Kamen Rider Fourze's Summer Movie

Hello! I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything. Now I'm back with a new post. So I've seen the Kamen Rider Fourze movie that was released last summer and I have to say that it was a really great movie. A well done, full of action and humor adventure only a Koichi Sakamoto movie delievers (also hot women lol). I really liked how they introduced Kamen Rider Wizard in the movie. It was different from the previous movies, where the next series rider shows up near the climax of the movie. Wizard shows up close to the middle of the Fourze movie, with some awesome flashy moves. I'm really satified seeing Mikie Hara (Honey from Cutie Honey: The Live) playing a serious role in this movie and her fights with Ryusei. The Space Ironmen Kyodain, the movie's antagonists, were really awesome and tough against Fourze and Meteor. I have to say that seeing the three Space Ironmen (Groundain, Skydain, and Black Knight) reminded me alot of DragonBall Z in the Android Saga where Androids 17 and 18 turns on their creator, Dr. Gero. That should give a small example of the Space Ironmen Kyodain. I won't give away too much, but it's safe to say that this movie delievers!  

Now to the new sentai series, Kyoryuger! I love the first episode and it is definitely different from last series's first episode. The tone was easily light, fun and exciting and full of humor! Daigo, KyoryuRed: An enthusiastic, fun going and a brave character that I think fans can really enjoy. The other characters are enjoyable so far too. I love the action of course, and the weapons are pretty cool. I kind of want the Gabrevoler and Gabricalibur lol. Plus the dance they do before the transform is hilarious! I didn't think I would like it, but I find myself learning the dance! I hope to see alot more character delevopment in this series. I see something really great (lack of a better word) for this series that can top its predicestor. Also this is directed be Koichi Sakamoto. So I'm looking forward to seeing more of this series!

My thoughts about Kamen Rider Fourze

         Hello everyone. I can't believe it's been a year already since Fourze started. Time flies! Fourze has just ended recently and it ended in on a good note. My thoughts on the show won't be too long; so here are my thoughts: To start, the show was good, it started out with the first episode being pretty awesome, with the thanks to Koichi Sakamoto directing. When I first saw the show, I knew it would be a bit different from previous Kamen Rider series. Different from a directing (Koichi Sakamoto) standpoint, but still different nonetheless. The episodes Koichi didn't direct felt a bit average (lack of a better word) and I didn't enjoy that much. There were a few episodes (not directed by Koichi) I really did enjoy. I did like all of the main characters. They had some pretty good moments. I know there are people that can relate to some of the main characters. They had their goofy, sad, and serious moment on the show which bought out the best and maybe worst of the characters. I can say that if you really love comedy in a Kamen Rider series, then Fourze is the show for you. I also think that there some nonchalant moments that were out of place, like they were meant to be there for that moment. So there are some episodes I didn't like as well. I really like the concept of the switches. It almost felt like looking at the antagonist using gaia memories from Kamen Rider Double (since both technologies were made from the same evil group, Foundation X).

           I like the theme of the rider himself, a space themed rider looking like a spaceship, eventhough he looked weird. The switches were pretty cool. My favorite switches from Fourze are Elec, Fire, Super Rocket, and Cosmic. I have to wait to see the Fusion states in action when the movie is out. The character of Gentaro was a cool, fun, happy-go, character, who loves to make friends with anybody he comes across. What I really like about Gentaro the most is that he is also a forgiving character. Spoiler to those that hasn't seen the other episodes, someone who can forgive the person for killing him and/or killing his best friend, is a great judgement of character. The secondary rider, Kamen Rider Meteor, is just completely awesome! A Kamen Rider with the fighting style of Bruce Lee?! Yes! I love the designs of Meteor and his finishers by using planets. That is really awesome.  

           I really enjoyed some of the Zodiarts from the show. The main ones: Sagittarius, Leo, and Libra Zodiarts were pretty cool. I do wish that some of the other Zodiarts had been used a bit more. I have to say, Leo Zodiarts, Tatsugami is one really awesome fighter. Plus the actor is a stunt actor, so that is a plus.

           There were some great cameos in the series. One example, Nao Nagasawa, Hurricane Blue and who previously worked with Koichi in Kamen Rider Double, was a great guest on the show.  Even in the summer movie, it was great seeing Mikie Hara, Cutie Honey: The Live, to be apart of the Kamen Rider Fourze summer movie. I can't wait to see that.

           In all, I say this was a good solid series that does teaches a value lesson. Now it's time for Kamen Rider Wizard to appear!

Mega Geek News, Kamen Rider Wizard, Gavan

Hello everyone. It has been awhile. What a week it has been for geek news! Comic-Con ended this weekend, although I didn't go, I did watched live coverages of the convention. Alot of news from Marvel, as they already have news movies coming, including the titles to three of the sequels. Thor: The Dark World comes out next November, Captain America: The Winter Soldier comes out in 2014, and IronMan 3 comes out next year. The new upcoming Marvel movies are Guardians Of The Galaxy, and Ant-Man. I'm really curious to see how these two movies will be.

I still can't believe that it will be 20 years since the very first episode of Power Rangers. It still amazes me, how time went by. The Power Rangers were even at Comic-Con hyping the upcoming anniversary, even introducing the new rangers, MegaForce (Goseiger). I may not like the name, but it may be interesting to see how this series will be for the anniversary. I'm more of a fan of the first rangers (MMPR) from the 90s. I do miss those years. Even more so, the dvds for the complete 1st-3rd seasons of MMPR has been shown at Comic-Con and was sold out! I call that a morphinominal success.

I am so exicted for the next Kamen Rider series after Fourze. This new rider's name is Kamen Rider Wizard and will make his first appearance in the upcoming Kamen Rider Fourze movie. I have to say, the look on this rider is so awesome! I have to wait to see how the series will be too. 

  

The image below is a recent image that shows Wizard's first four basic forms and the last three forms are unknown. I still say they look pretty cool too.

Gavan is back! This time in a new Gavan movie! I'm glad they are doing a new movie to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Metal Heroes.

Yes and Kenji Ohba is back again for the anniversary! This time there is a new Gavan by the name of Geki Jomonji. The movie will also star a former sentai from Shinkenger, Suzuki Morita as the heroine of the movie. The movie comes out in October!

Alot of anniversary news, and geek news and this was only a small summary. There will be more coming out way soon.

Kamen Rider OOO's Hina's Superhuman ability Theory

Hello guys. So, I just recently did a podcast about OOO. While we were talking about the series, a thought had occured. It was still never said in the series how Hina got her superhuman ability. This is what my theory was: Hina's super strength might have been a result from Foundation X. How is that? Well again it's only a theory. Perhaps, Hina was a test subject, just like NEVER, only she wasn't dead. I would love to say this is the reason for her super strength. It would be an even more mistery for Foundation X. I hope to have more theories that could happen in tokusatsu. I can't wait to see the next Kamen Rider after Fourze. It's been confirmed that the name of the next Kamen Rider will be "Rize". There isn't an image of him yet. I hope to see one really soon.

Kamen Rider Fourze and Yu Yu Hakusho: A reference to Chinese Mythology and Astrology

Hello guys. I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to discuss something what I've noticed in the recent episode of Kamen Rider Fourze. In a scene of the episode, where Kengo meets his father's partner/friend, Mr. Emoto, the both of them talks about the comic energy in the universe and on earth (I know I maybe wrong on one part).

In this image, I've noticed that Mr. Emoto briefly discussed the four mythical gods of the chinese astrology, Genbu(Top), Byakko(Left), Seiryu(Right), and Suzaku(Bottom). The name also represent the directions and the seasons of the year:  

• (Seiryu) Azure Dragon of the East: Spring
• (Suzaku) Vermilion Bird of the South: Summer
• (Byakko) White Tiger of the West: Autumn
• (Genbu) Black Tortoise of the North: Winter

Now these name sounded very familiar when I first heard them and noticed that these names and images reminded me of The Four Saint Beast from the anime, Yu Yu Hakusho. In the anime the four heroes have to fight off the four beast to save Earth.

The first beast they fought was Genbu: The Stone Beast,who had the body of a tortise,

 the second was Byakko: The White Tiger,

the third was Seiryu: The Blue Dragon,

 and the last was the leader which was Suzaku (which represented the Phoenix as you can see here).

This is very interesting to know that their opponents has some similarities to themselves. According to the source: "Kurama being wise and intelligent like the turtle, Kuwabara being Brave and determined like the tiger, Hiei Calm but deadly like the Dragon and Yusuke being passionate and having a habit of coming back stronger every time he dies like the Phoenix. Even more interesting is that Yusukes energy took the form of a Phoenix and Hiei's best attack being in the shape of a dragon." That is really interesting. Now the question is, will we see some of these elements form in Kamen Rider Fourze? I would love to see something like this to happen in the series.

SuperHeroTaisen images and Decade VS. Gavan rumor?

Hello guys. My birthday just pasted and it was a good one. I'm happy to receive alot of good and comforting messages and birthday wishes from alot of people. I really do thank them. I've recently seen more images from SuperHeroTaisen and these are some mindblowing pictures and news I've seen and read!

In this image you have the forms of OOO, but it's not how they came about in the OOO summer movie. The six forms are the GoKaigers! You can easliy tell these are the GoKaigers by their stances and poses. I have been hoping for this to happen since last summer and now it's actually going to happen!

With the GoKaigers using a Kamen Rider's power, Decade will be using a Sentai's power. In this image, Decade and two other riders (Ryuki and Blade) will be using some new Gosei cards. What will these cards do? We will have to wait and see. I may not be a fan of the Goseigers, but this is really interesting to see three riders with the use of cards, use the Gosei cards.  

Finally we see an image of the conbination of a sentai mecha and a rider power. Here is the Go-Bustoh with the S-3 rockets and S-1 drills from Fourze to make one powerful mecha! It seems as though the mecha is doing a certain drop kick (or a rider kick) to the monster! This movie is getting more and more epic by the minute. I'm still going to try not to get too excited for the movie, eventhough I can't help it. It's amazing! More information about the movie images can be found here. 

I've recently heard a rumor about Decade crossing over to Gavan's world. I'm not sure if this is true, but if it is, I would love to see Decade go against Gavan. That would be a really good battle! Now I'm hoping to see more previews from SuperHeroTaisen soon!

New Theory: How would the GoKaigers meet the GoBusters in the next VS. movie?

Hello guys. It's been one epic week for toku. I saw the recent full trailer to SuperHeroTaisen and it's freaking awesome! Finally saw the GoKaiger VS. Gavan movie and it's definetly one of the best VS. movies so far. Seeing Kenji Ohba (Gavan) fighting the Sugormin was just amazing. I did not know he could fight that well! The choreography of the fights were amazing. I recently found out that he was in other sentai shows and was a suit actor for Akaranger. That is awesome. The GoBusters appearance in the movie was really cool too. Everything about this movie is just amazing and really gives a big omage to Gavan and the Metal Heroes' 30th anniversary. I highly reccomend it.

Now with the GoBusters series airing, I've already thought of a theory as to how they would meet the GoKaigers again in the next VS. movie. My theory is this: First, let's look back at episode 38 of GoKaiger where Joe is fighting Barizorg. We know that Joe defeated Barizorg and left Barizorg's body in that same place where he is laying. Think about it, Barizorg is an andriod created by the Zangyack, who is also Joe's mentor and friend, Sid, and you have the current villians, from GoBusters, who are machines. What if a villian from GoBusters created a time portal and went to the future to find more sources of energy, and that villian just so happens to find Barizorg's body still laying in that exact same spot where Joe left him. The villian takes Barizorg back to the past and remodels him into a more powerful android. That is just one of my theories as to how that could tie in the next VS. movie. I'm still not sure how to put the GoKaigers in with the GoBusters. I will be putting some thought into it. So yeah, that is just part of my theory I came up with. I really do hope that these two teams meet again soon.
