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.

GoKaiger: The American Adaptation idea(s)

Hello everyone. I was talking to my friend about GoKaiger and how it would be a bit different if/when it gets adapted in the US. She came up with an idea about their morphers. What if the american adaptation uses coins instead of keys to install in the mobirates? This could be a really good idea, although I still like the use of keys, but this still could be a great why to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Power Rangers. Here is a reason why I say this: With the use of coins, it can be an omage to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, (The first Power Rangers in the US.)  She also pointed out that the coins can be color-coded into the past and present rangers' colors with their helmets on one side and their logos on the other (like heads and tails of a coin). I've thought of the name of the coins. It's a simple name honestly. The GoKaigers have "ranger keys", the US adaptation can have "ranger coins". Where the coins would be installed could be in the same place as the keys or on either sides of the mobirates. Again, this was an idea that me and my friend came up with of the GoKaiger US adaptation. What would your ideas be for the US GoKaiger?

GoKaiger: The Epic Finale, SuperHeroTaisen

Hello guys! I hope everyone is having a great day and week. I hope you will have a good weekend too. I thought I come by and give my thoughts to GoKaiger. I, for one, hate to see a series as epic as GoKaiger to end. It is, hands down, my favorite Super Sentai series ever. It's the exactly same feeling I had when Kamen Rider Double ended. The feeling of an epic series, with a great plot, action, comedy, great actors and character development throughout the series and knowing that it will come to an end sooner or later. I do know that the GoKaigers will return in SuperHeroTaisen and hopfully a team-up movie with the GoBusters. So it won't be the last time we see them. My short thoughts on the characters:

Captain Marvelous: The rough leader of the team and someone who will never let anybody stand in his way to acchieving his or other people's dreams. 

Joe Gibken: First shipmate or commander of the team and an excellent swordman. I really like the battles he had with Barizorg. Those were some epic battles . The moments he have with Marvelous at times shows that he knows Marvelous better than the rest of the team.

Luka Milfy: A no nonsense type of person who love luxury, but deep down (and it shows later in the series) she is a caring person that will fight others well being (as she really has been all along).

Don Dogier: A goofy, clumsy, and smart person, that can handle his own in a battle.

Ahim De FaMille: A beautiful kind-hearted princess, that can also handle her own in a battle. 

Gai Ikari: The ultimate fanboy of Super Sentai who later became one on his own. He is the most goofiest out of the team and a great asset to the team.

These are my small thoughts on the team and show. I can't wait to see them again in the upcoming movies.


Now to SuperHeroTaisen! More and more images have surfaced and now we see what will happen in the upcoming crossover movie.

In this image, we see GoKaiRed against the Legendary Seven Kamen Riders.

Here we have Decade Vs. GoKaiRed. I can't wait to see how this comes out.

Here is the movie poster for SuperHeroTaisen. This poster is epic!

I really can't wait to see this movie! For now, let's continue to enjoy the SuperHeroTime block!

More Images Of SuperHeroTaisen, GoKaiger's Awesome Run, What I've Been Up Too Lately

Hello guys. It's Feburary already! Time is sure flying again! I almost thought it was still Jan. I've been doing a lot of job searching. I hope I still get one soon. I really want to get Soul Calibur V. It just came out recently and my friend just brought the collector's edition. It's so awesome! I can't wait to get it! I know my friend's favorite character from Shinkenger is Chiaki and she is creating him on Soul Calibur V! Hahaha! I thought it is pretty cool. The weapon she chose from him look very similar to the weapon Chiaki used in Shinkenger. Epic points for her creation!

Now onto GoKaiger. The series is nearly over, and it has been, so far, the best Sentai series ever. The GoKaigers has really shown alot of character depth to one another and showing their back stories, giving the fans what these characters are all about. The fights have been incredible! Some of the best fights I've seen in Super Sentai. I can't wait to see the GoKaigers face off against Kamen Rider Decade in the upcoming SuperHeroTaisen movie.

Wow! Decade leading an army of DaiShocker and other villians against Maravelous, who is leading an army of the Zangyak! This is going epic! The question is, why are they fight each other? I can't wait to see a trailer to this movie, to really see what is happening or going to happen.

SuperHeroTaisen Preparations, and my week

Hello guys. I know I haven't been updating in a while, and I'm sorry about that. I've been trying to keep busy, as usual. I did a live streaming show last weekend, and it was fun. I was glad to have my good friend to join me on the show. I know I've hearing about this internet bill, and people, including myself are against it. I don't really want to get into that. I have been watching Kamen Rider Fourze and GoKaiger. Awesome episodes and can't wait to see the next ones. I can't believe how fast time has pasted and is going. It feels like yesterday when GoKaiger aired and now it's almost over. But I won't say it's the end, because they will be back in the upcoming: SuperHeroTaisen: All Kamen Rider VS. All Super Sentai. There were a recent picture of the filming to the movie and just by looking at the picture it looks awesome.

In the image, we see the GoKaiger's suit actors and Decade. I wonder how will they meet in this image. Alot of people have been preparing for the epic crossover by making some fanmade trailers. Alot of which were awesome!

 

    Here is the real teaser for the upcoming SuperHeroTaisen movie.  

Here is one of few awesome fanmade trailers I've seen.

I can't wait to see more teasers and trailers from the upcoming crossover. Hopefully this will be epic!

Another theory of the next Kamen Rider after Fourze

Hello guys and Happy New Year to you! I've been kinda busy for a few days, to say the least. I've been working on a new video. I will be uploading it soon. I've been marathoning GoKaiger over New Years Day. It's good to watch an awesome series for a few hours. I've been talking to my friend on Skype about the next Kamen Rider after Fourze. She came up with another awesome name: Kamen Rider Prism (Kamen Rider Double reference). I still see Prism as a secondary rider, but as much thought my friend has put into Prism, it sounds like Prism would be a main rider. I was still thinking of forms and weapons my rider (Kamen Rider Starz) would have. I have also thought of changing the name, because I'm still not sure on what word can represent the letter Z in Starz. Here are a few choice of weapons I came up with for Starz:

Weapon: Sword formed from a crystal, which can also form a gun.
Finisher: 5-Point Kick: The 5 Points locks on their target and then the kick connects with each point.
Vehicle: Motorcyle than can be use as a weapon.

Those are just a few ideas that came to me. Here are some ideas my friend came up with Prism:

Prism is a rider formed by bending light. His weapon is choice is a staff form when he puts both of his hands together.

I would love to see this become a real series. It sounds really awesome to think about.
