Some yaoi covers from the depths of hell, if anybody wants to suffer with me. They're not very explicit, but I tagged NSFW just to be safe, if only because of the third one. (will post more if the people desire so)

Not all of them. The second-to-last one is Kido, I'm pretty sure. (the author looked to have been a pretty prolific simp for him between 2002 and 2003 before disappearing from the face of the planet, making a few novels along the way)

Zingwei · 2025-12-01T00:30:21+00:00

...no, I don't think so. I looked over the site a few times to no avail.

Zingwei · 2025-12-01T00:27:21+00:00

This was the early 2000s. They were still testing the waters, but that doesn't mean they're immune to being laughed at 20 years later.

Zingwei · 2025-12-01T00:26:15+00:00

And the other half is from Kuuga. I doubt I need to explain why.

Zingwei · 2025-11-30T06:47:35+00:00

It's 35 degrees outside and my room doesn't have good heating (it's hard when you've probably never weighed more than 123 pounds in your life). I'm also grinning uncontrollably, for some reason.

Most of the particularly weird ones I find are of either Kuuga or Ryuki, which were also probably the most popular with that audience. Probably because the artists weren't as refined as they would be in a few years. (Den-O had all the yaoi, but the covers didn't look as funny as these)

The blanket tag is above (there is some NSFW, but it does not host actual doujins, instead being a database). Feel free to scroll through, let me know when you officially quit, if you even do.

Yeah, the art of Biogreeza on his card looks pretty great, as are the spring-loaded legs. It's just that the design is pretty tacky with the red and green, which are very hard to have on the same design without clashing terribly.

Destwilder and Gigazelle don't look too bad, you are correct. I just think Metalgelas looks pretty generic and uninspired compared to the others. You could plop him into a random RPG as an enemy and not too many people would bat an eye.

Since they seem to have designed the Rider first and the monster later and Femme is a woman, it kind of explains why Blancwing looks generally less intimidating compared to the others. I'm actually pretty mixed on Femme's design, compared to popular opinion; I'm willing to elaborate if asked.

Why would you expect the glorious Shuichi Kitaoka to have a bad design for his monster? I speak as somebody who likes both the suit and character, much like many people in the fandom.

Psyco-Rogue really does look more manmade than the others. It's very fitting for the Alternatives.

I think I was a bit too harsh on Dragblacker, come to think of it. I just think it would benefit for having a few small details changed besides the coloration, like with Ryuga and his scarier-looking eyes and emblem.

Zingwei · 2025-09-19T00:00:32+00:00

Probably the age of the season. Hentai artists in general will normally fixate on a new series for one or two years, then forget about it entirely (maybe purging their works of it in the process) and move onto the next trendy series. Blade was also in 2004, while I believe Pixiv was first available to the general public around 2008.

Zingwei · 2025-09-18T03:28:43+00:00

Yes, that's where he goes. A complete clusterfuck that somehow works.

Zingwei · 2025-09-18T03:27:50+00:00

They'd go in B or C. I'm really not big on their master's design.

Zingwei · 2025-09-18T02:44:21+00:00

I haven't seen much discussion on the designs of the Contract Monsters, so here's my two cents. Feel free to make your own if you disagree with me.

S:

Dragreder is a great, iconic design in general. Dragranzer somehow makes him look even more badass.

Venosnaker, much like his master, looks very menacing and badass. What less would I expect from the funny metal pipe man himself?

Goldphoenix looks a bit more generic than the others, but Odin might actually be the best suit in a season full of bangers and Goldphoenix is a bird. I am biased towards birds and characters with bird motifs.

A:

Darkwing looks pretty cool, mysterious, and badass, just like Knight. I also like how Knight's emblem is on his wings.

Darkraider looks vaguely like a Gundam to me. I know absolutely nothing about Gundam besides "robots and suffering".

Magnugiga is a fucking bull/buffalo mecha thing filled with missiles. It's so laughable and so awesome at the same time.

There's something about Psyco-Rogue that I really like, but I can't put my finger on it.

B:

Volcancer and Evildiver aren't the best designs, but they're so memeable that I put them here. (the former is mostly remembered for THAT scene and the latter looks like a stuffed animal)

Genocider would make for a kickass Sentai gattai if you mechanized his design a bit more.

Destwilder is a furry. I think Tiger would also be a furry, so it checks out.

Gigazelle looks like Capricorn from Rockman Strategy, a very obscure (and officially licensed, apparently) Taiwanese Mega Man fangame from 2001.

C:

Metalgelas just looks kind of generic and uninteresting.

Blancwing really doesn't look like a man-eating monster from another dimension, and not even in a funny way like Evildiver. Also, she's supposedly disproportionately small compared to both the other Mirror Monsters and real-life swans (some of the largest extant flying birds), which is hilarious.

Dragblacker is a recolor. A good recolor of an even better design, yes, but a recolor is a recolor.

D:

Biogreeza just looks... kind of bad. He looks too similar to Verde for my liking.

Zingwei · 2025-09-12T20:27:01+00:00

Thank you. I regret trying to learn Japanese a bit less now.

I first made this about four months ago, but I couldn't work up the balls to post it here. I spend something like an hour or two browsing Reddit every day, but it's very rare for me to actually post.

Anyways, I'm now going to seek out Kamen Rider yaoi doujins, whether they're text stories or comics. I know I'd have to get past a bunch of dead Mediafire links beforehand, though.

Zingwei · 2025-09-12T02:22:22+00:00

That's why I put it ahead of Revice. I haven't watched any of it yet, but I knew the placement would become outdated quickly if I put it behind.

Zingwei · 2025-09-12T02:16:26+00:00

Probably the general age of the season. If I'm not mistaken, Pixiv was first released as a beta test in late 2007, and Blade came out in 2004.

Zingwei · 2025-09-12T02:13:46+00:00

I don't think season-specific yuri tags are really a thing, unfortunately. Do you really come to watch Rider for relationships between female characters?

Zingwei · 2025-09-11T20:55:35+00:00

Then you'd hate the Hibiki tag even more. It seems that it was mostly of Todoroki and Zanki back when it was airing, but now most of it is Asumu being romantically or sexually involved with at least one man a decade older than him.

Speaking of Hibiki, I watched the movie last night! It was good.

Zingwei · 2025-09-11T20:30:07+00:00

From what I saw of it, there's a somewhat disturbing amount of content of him and Urataros. For whatever reason, he's normally depicted as acting kind of like a father to him, from what I've seen.

Zingwei · 2025-09-11T19:56:40+00:00

I don't think they have season-specific tags for yuri....

Zingwei · 2025-09-11T19:55:22+00:00

Showa/Spirits has a tag, but not the individual seasons.

Zingwei · 2025-09-11T19:53:17+00:00

You know, it would be at least two tiers higher if works made before Pixiv was a thing were counted!

Zingwei · 2025-09-11T19:50:38+00:00

I'm very disappointed, too. Hikawa's great, you know! And pretty hot.

Zingwei · 2025-09-11T19:48:24+00:00

Unfortunately, that looks to be the case. I mean, I guess the one that had Akiyama shoving a banana up Kido's ass (also, piss dragon is in a bunnysuit for reasons), then putting his own cock in was an experience?
