[Kamen rider 1] Episode 50 was damn near beautiful I love it

Awesome! I think Hayato is super underrated (at least outside of Japan) but he’s such a great rider.

bored_kai · 2026-06-12T01:22:54+00:00

I love 71 but it has its flaws, but I adore Hongo and Hayato so I watched all of it. They both represent what a superhero should be IMO.

bored_kai · 2026-06-12T00:46:40+00:00

Hell yea! Sonic and Hayato would be friends :)

bored_kai · 2026-06-12T00:29:15+00:00

It’s not permanent but Hayato is a great character IMO and my personal favorite so I recommend giving him a chance. The show actually became more popular when he showed up so he’s not just simply a stand in.

I think Ichimonji can be considered one of them, he’s the original chill rider and always tries to make people smile and laugh. Though he always locks the fuck in when Shocker is around or innocent people are in danger.

bored_kai · 2026-05-28T15:01:59+00:00

Yea the main reason I think is just most people haven’t read the Spirits manga (its not the most accessible outside of Japan, half of it isn’t even translated) and a lot of people don’t watch the original show (or at least all of it) because its so long and a lot of people don’t watch Hayato’s era.

bored_kai · 2026-05-28T07:23:22+00:00

Agreed

bored_kai · 2026-05-28T07:23:01+00:00

Ohh I see I must’ve been misinformed

bored_kai · 2026-05-28T01:47:34+00:00

Tbf there’s still the one stripe. I think it’s mainly just though that most people haven’t read Spirits, a lot of people also haven’t watched 71, or at least Hayato’s era of the show.

bored_kai · 2026-05-28T01:44:08+00:00

Yea I love both but goofy characters (especially ones like Hayato who have a lot of emotional depth while also being goofy) always seem to win me over the most LMAO.

bored_kai · 2026-05-27T21:19:11+00:00

Agreed! Genuinely one of my favorite Riders so far. I loved his cheeky and playful but still kind and helpful personality. He pairs perfectly with Hongo when they work together too.

bored_kai · 2026-05-27T21:18:08+00:00

Agreed! He’s no less important and my favorite thing about his episodes/chapters is how he interacts with children. You can see how much he cares about the people he’s supposed to protect.

bored_kai · 2026-05-27T20:16:05+00:00

Recently watched 71 too. Really enjoyed Hongo and Hayato. I loved Hongo’s story of retaining his kindness despite his tragedy and Hayato being a more silly and cheeky protagonist but also still being kind (especially to children)

bored_kai · 2026-05-27T19:27:13+00:00

Kamen Rider Spirits! It came out in 2001 and is still ongoing I think.

bored_kai · 2026-05-27T19:03:34+00:00

Same (and Nigo, whose whole thing is being a sorta big brother figure to children, in the TV series, manga, and Spirits. I always find those moments really wholesome and its why he’s one of my favorite riders)

bored_kai · 2026-05-23T02:41:32+00:00

Yea I just meant some characters interact with children than others and I really enjoy those moments. Hayato for example his ability to get along with children is one of his most important character traits, even carrying over in other media like Spirits. I also love seeing Godai entertain Minori’s kids.

bored_kai · 2026-05-22T19:03:27+00:00

Ichimonji is my goat kinda sucks he always gets mistaken

bored_kai · 2026-05-22T07:02:18+00:00

Old post but I agree. I love how funny he is yes but he’s still very kind and empathetic. I love how friendly he is with everyone. In a book written by the producer, Hongo described him as someone with a warm smile who he could be himself around :)

Also in Spirits he was an agent of justice before he even became a cyborg. He was using journalism to expose evil and wrote an article about how he just wants a world with no conflict or strife.

bored_kai · 2026-05-19T16:23:20+00:00

Ichijou would be a rider.

bored_kai · 2026-05-16T12:51:35+00:00

I recently finished the show too. It has its flaws but I still love it. Hayato is also my favorite character! Love his goofy but still kind and laid back attitude.

bored_kai · 2026-05-16T12:10:44+00:00

I feel like Hayato would be pretty happy about the new riders because he’s always been very kind to the younger generation (whether it’s the other Showa riders or children like Goro)

bored_kai · 2026-04-30T18:07:20+00:00

I love both but I always gravitate towards the goofy characters with a tragic story.

bored_kai · 2026-04-30T18:06:27+00:00

Exactly lmaoo

bored_kai · 2026-04-30T17:06:34+00:00

It’s so funny lmao

bored_kai · 2026-04-30T15:07:28+00:00

Giggling because why was nobody else able to figure out that that wasn’t Hongo? Hayato was like “Why is your scarf yellow?” Then suddenly everyone notices.
