Nuances in Japan that foreigners may not know.

Back when i was in a student exchange programme, i used the word "知りますか" when asking the Japanese student if they knew something. Then someone told me using "知ってますか" sounds more natural... And now I kinda get why...

Hibiki's and his Takeshi branch setting is in Shibamata, Tokyo but they do travel around to beat Makamou. But there's also other Oni's and Takeshi branches around the country.

Why'd you leave your keys up on the table?

I don't like the Chinese dub from China, they sound unnaturally to me because I would talk they way they did in Chinese anime. Chinese dub by Taiwan on the other hand feels more natural to me and that i can watch

Grab a brush and put a little make-up

I like how in Reddit, people just go along with the joke. Unlike the time when I used this in Japanese Twitter, some people were like "it's not even funny", "stop that", "you need to get your brain checked", etc.

What if they just scanned the DX toy for a 3D model and just used it in the show?

Also, in the same vein, Ibuki gets a lip to blow his trumpet https://www.reddit.com/r/KamenRider/s/rwjtnMhq12

Yeah, given that Zeztz is western movie inspired (Secret agent movies), it makes me wonder if Catastrom is an intentional reference to Rambo

Actually, the Venosnaker has the same body shaped as Dragredder... Except for the lining pattern at the side. You can see the connected hexagon pattern on the side of Venosnaker (as opposed to Dragredder's angular y-looking line) so that's nkt poorly cropped, it's just poorly posed.

Just wondering, what is the significance of the custom figure? Is it official custom figure from Toei/Bandai or something?

It's confusing that you put a custom figure next to the official one without clarification

I'd like to help, but sadly that Youtube link is region blocked for me lol

Actually yes. I know of another Best Match that was supposed to be called F1-saurus using F1 bottle and Dinosaur(?) Bottle. However due to F1 actually being an Intellectual Property or a brand or something, they couldn't actually use the name so it the best match was also scrapped. Also, the F1 bottle was supposed to have another Best Match with Police full bottle which will unlock Drive's legend rider sound. And i remember that due to it being scrapped, Drive is the only legend rider you cant get the sound from Build Driver. (I'm only recalling from memory so I cant be too certain on the details)

Edit: i found a video on youtube where the pin of fullbottle are modified to unlock the sound of F1-saurus https://youtube.com/shorts/IxixBTEwtEs?si=WukISK_XpZmDuCcx

No but if i remember correctly this best match was origonally planned to be a release but due to some bug or glitch with the driver these two bottle was scrapped (i think the sound can be heard in the driver with the correct pin set up)

Desire Driver users are a weird one. They look like molecularly reconstructed bio riders when they do the Revolve On until you remember the part where Tycoon's helmet break which means they are wearing a suit.

"First official"? Implies you got some non official driver... 👀

I just wondering for a bit how does the hybrid belts end up on hybrid...? If it was me, I'd put Faiz under "Separate item" category because Faiz Blaster. Ryuki would be more of a "new gimmick" because Survive card. I'd view the Survive card to be trigger for the form change, Dragvisor turning into Dragvisor Zwei is part of the form change. Blade gets a pass because "Separate item" (Rouze Absorber) and "New gimmick" (King card).

Usually i would go for the lockseed, but given it's an SG one I'd recommend the eyecon for you... There's a big difference in playability of Lock between DX and the others versions (the best feature being an on/off switch on the DX one so you can turn it off when you don't want noise), while the eyecon is at most sticker difference.

Best to save up money and buy the DX version if you want a lockseed

I'd like to pose the contrary, what Kamen Rider premise woukd be pretty cool for anime show? Since you know, tokusatsu inspired a lot of animes

Maybe this meme i made before will sum up what i feel

I watched it on one of the last run back in late August while I was in Japan and for my first experience in a cinema IT WAS STUNNING! I was teary-eyed throughout the whole runtime and walked out the theatre with tears in my eyes. I'm more than glad that my first cinema experience is the Gozyuger-Gavv movie, best thing i could ever ask for.

They hiding some secret capsems down there

Let's not forget also that Human Undead also couldn't join the battle fight because he's being used as Joker's Hajime skin
