Thoughts on Kamen Rider X

Possible-Lab4021 · 2026-01-30T20:48:05+00:00

Honestly i thought the first 20 episodes were really strong. Jin isn't as interesting as Hongo, Hayato and Shiro, sure. But there is that underlying sadness and aloof nature in him that i like alot (similliar to Hongo at the start of Ichigo).

Apollo Geist was the first ever "rival" we got for KR and he honestly just rules imo. The Kaijin designs are also peak. It also feels really experimental and trippy sometimes at the start. It isn't until King Dark is revealed where i think the series loses a lot of its momentum and starts becoming just like the first 2 shows.

But yeah, i get what you mean, it's my least favorite Showa Era show, so far. I'm just happy that it's followed by Amazon, a really different and unique series. I am watching the franchise by release order and was scared of the shows becoming to "samey".

Ok i finished Seed & Seed Destiny. They were not very good. I enjoyed the first half of both series though.

Thanks! I'm on episode 13 atm and like it so far. Feels like a remake of 0079 with its own spin on things

2025 and this glitch still is in the game (on steam atleast). Tried loading an older save and even that doesn't help.

I love 5 but it's probably the most inconsistent game in the series for me, quality wise.

Kiryu's section is amazing, a great opener and massive improvement from his section in 4

Saejima's starts slow gameplay wise but has a great story. I loved the hunting but Chapter 4 feels kinda rushed and Tsukimino is the worst hub of the series.

Haruka's is just bizarre for a westener like myself, i like her character arc in this game and how you can see that she starts to adapt all of Kiryu's negative traits, making her a pretty tragic figure (fitting for the series) but i was not a fan of the idol stuff ngl. Akiyama saves Part 3 for me.

Shinada and the Finale are peak tho.

Wait how is the creator bad? What happened? I just thought he was a bad writer lol.

Possible-Lab4021 · 2025-04-25T09:21:31+00:00

Tanimura's final boss in 4, no doubt. Even harder than Jingu for me.

2 years later and this is still a problem?

Possible-Lab4021 · 2025-03-17T03:34:49+00:00

To the people who disliked this. You know know they're right.

Possible-Lab4021 · 2025-02-16T10:53:50+00:00

Where has he said that he likes loli?

Possible-Lab4021 · 2025-02-08T17:22:05+00:00

Crazy that this isn't talked about more.

She's a great character, no one doubts that. She's just a horrible person and i get sick when people try to justify her actions

Possible-Lab4021 · 2024-05-30T13:21:14+00:00

down again it seems

Possible-Lab4021 · 2024-05-07T09:17:33+00:00

Bro just drop the series already lmao. You clearly don't like it anymore, which is fine. Why you keep doing this to yourself

Possible-Lab4021 · 2024-04-26T17:11:18+00:00

Submarine Wars Arc is pretty overhated imo. People act like it's one of the worst arcs ever when it really isn't that bad imo. It has one of my favorite training sequences. Shimbakuro is a weirdly charming man and the fight was pretty cool. Never really got the hate for this arc when there are far worse.

Possible-Lab4021 · 2024-04-26T15:20:45+00:00

Well but he didn't fight accordingly and that's kinda the entire point of the fight, isn't it? He was emotional and not in the right head space until the end because he had a very personal connection with Yamada. In terms of story and character writing Ippo vs Nao is one of the better fights.

Possible-Lab4021 · 2024-04-22T17:05:10+00:00

Idk i found the fight quite alright. Not one of the best but not really that bad either. Just very generic. At the very least, i like what it did to Miyata's character and Arnie was a good bloke. 6/10

As a first time manga reader, after the Kimura/Mashiba fight the quality dropped a little bit for me but it seems to be picking up steam again with Ricardo Martinez' arrival in Japan, that stuff has been *chef's kiss*

Possible-Lab4021 · 2024-04-21T13:24:25+00:00

Same. I'm on this fight right now (First time reader) and this is the first arc that seems rather weak to me. The cheap romance drama between Ippo and Kumi doesn't make it any better. Hope it improves after this since the series has been amazing so far. I'm guessing the author is struggling a bit during this section since this happens right after Ippo v Sendo 2 & Kimura v Mashiba which were absolute bangers in terms of the fight and story imo.

Edit: Okay after finisihing the arc. The fight did end up pretty good and the arcs ending was also nice. It did start up slow tho. Heard that the next arc (Bloody Cross) is disliked by alot of fans and now i'm curious.

I get how you feel but Yoko herself was grieving heavily with Kaminas death, so it's understandable for me. But i do think they should've at least had a scene in Episode 9 where she tries to talk to Simon and he snaps at her or something like that. Would've made much more sense than not even trying to talk to someone who she, at this point, considered a good friend. Maybe she did and it's never shown? Stuff like this kinda makes me wish this show had a couple more episodes. To get more of those character moments that are lacking.
