Kamen Rider (1971) Liveblog

Welcome to the last quarter

Introducing the rider scouts

NURSE YOU ARE VERY CALM ABOUT WHAT IS CLEARLY A GIANT MONSTERSLURPING BLOOD OFF THE FLOOR

Naoki really was the first rider scout, too bad we sacrificed Gorou

God we really are chilling with a full tank of blood but this fucker is like yea but is it from kids

Parents today may be overprotective but not once in my childhood was i brainwashed/kidnapped by Shocker which was apparently the only thing that happened to kids in the 70s

THESE KIDS REALLY JUST WALK UP TO HIM AND GO "HEY WE NEED YOUR BLOOD"

"Hey peebrain, got any blood?"

Pigeon based emergency system

Taki is basically a child, you shouldn't leave him unsupervised either or he'll have his blood drank by a nurse

Taki's just waving around in the back

He turns into Kamen Rider before hand for the kids

I'm glad the drivers of the Shocker Bloodmobile have 0 abiliting to recognise Kamen Rider standing on the ledge up ahead

I guess every kid who got their blood stolen decided to become a rider scout

That's it officially the last quarter, 24 eps left

Here's that yellow and black plaid that offended Neck's eyes

These kids just carry pigeons everywhere now

Tachibana has died, Shocker will be so happy

Is this gonna be uhhh Cyborg 0012

TAKI GOD DAMMIT

The new theme is cyborgs don't have like... reflections or shadows and it's a big give away

You made a cyborg and all she can do is scream she doesn't talk she just screams

Taki has been abandoned, we have science to do

Tachibana is taking the boys fashion tips to slowly unbutton your shirt

Kids: A MONSTER

Cyborg: *screams*

kids:

kids:

"You're fine" you say to a guy who you can visibly see is being stabbed

Hongou has gained the fringe belt

Taki: I can and will kill her

Her voice as a human is soft but as a monster she just screams fucking constantly its amazing

SHE KEEPS SCREAMING AND IM TRYING NOT TO LAUGH WHY DOES SHE SCREAM

Taki's action scene this ep is nice TOO BAD ITS BEING OVER SHADOWED BY THE ROSE THAT WILL NOT STOP SCREAMING

Next episode

Ambassador Hell: A sea dragon

Great Leader: NO

Ambassador Hell: 3 sea dragons!

Canned monster, no idea if it's food or a toy or what

"monster" aka a seahorse

You kids god ripped off

IT BLEW UP YOUR DOG THIS WAS THE WORST 200 YEN PURCHASE

Every monster: Hongo Takeshi if you move we kill the captive

Hongo: *immediately moving*

Sea Dragon: we can kill both you and the kid

Hongo: WHAT?!

It's just leisurely burning

You guys really need to learn to just like kill Hongo and parade his head around on a stick instead of this "painful death" and "remodelling" shit

Also stop bringing him to your base he can and will get up and blow it up

KIDS REMEMBER THE PSA TO NOT COPY WHAT YOU SEE KAMEN RIDER DO

TAKI IS A HUMAN HONGO IS A CYBORG DONT BE MEAN TO TAKI OVER IT

This kid starting the trend of "anything happened? Must be shocker!" That will run into v3

Just pick up child, shove hre under your arm, and start walking

I'm glad the rider scouts have already expanded to kids who have managed to never meet Taki

Restore your honour by not causing more trouble

Still communicating by dagger huh

Taki you look better with that outfit on

Just stand here struggling to get your foot out

Chasing kids away instead of killing them is how you keep losing to Kamen rider

If anything Tachibana they'll be targeting you visiting anywhere specifically

Thank God Taki is back to dressing reasonably

Taki talking fast is real good

It's wild how they could just show a tiny child riding tandem without any safety equipment

It's a tiny little fire I'm sure you could of just walked around it

Monster defeated by

stepping on it with a thick boot

He got this white suit just so he could roll in dirt and have it show

Sorry your parents are dead little boy, but you're a rider scout now and I think that means Hongo has adopted you?

I'm still rather concerned about the fact Taki and Hayato's son is missing, I want him back

Ambassador Hell is getting fired

Last 20 episodes

*does Amazon's arm wavey thing*

"A traitor in Shocker? IMPOSSIBLE"

I mean both Kamen Riders are literally that but go off I guess

Also in other news Hongo makes an excellent lamp

Pigeon number 1

I mean Rattler also knew about it but yea sorry ambassador time to die

Hongou I'm sorry but I'm definitely for killing Ambassador Hell, he may be incompetent but he is a nazi

They're straight up gonna guillotine him but I don't know how to tell them his head will not fit in there

I thought they had skeleton devorations on the wall but guess that's too Geddon for Shocker

HIS HEAD LEGIT DOESNT FIT THEYRE JUST BALANCING THE BLOCK THERE

HNONGO TAKESHI DONT JUST DRIVE YOUR BIKE INTO THE AIR

Taki you literally fought in the desert

Ambassador Hell is just... spinning in his chair

Hell don't wiggle your eyebrow like that

Effective rattling noise despite having no tail to do the rattle

I have the Toku calander and in the Halloween picture I now realise all the commanders are in their cyborg forms

Oh theyre all just gonna be buried here like they had to babysit the rider scouts

Okay but Rattler is a lovely suit

Oh shit fuck that's that I guess time for the new improved EEEEE

I don't think this water is clean enough for making rice somehow

It might be the screaming shocker combatant drowning in it but

JESUS CHRIST

I want to blame this on Micchi but I guess its not their fault

Taki what have you done to your hair

"Gel Shocker" was not your most imaginative naming

No Taki's right, what makes you think a name change makes you strong- oh you can teleport now

I can't tell if the giant star is to blank out the "Toyota" on the truck or just for the hell of it

Taki is gonna die from a fucking car bomb what is happening in this episode

I hope the morgue doesn't mind that you just deflated a corpse

And I do not know why you couldn't of just changed the corpse's clothes other than We're Evil

I want Iain to rider fashion check Taki's hair

I was about to ask why his eyes were so red but it's cause he's fucking dead

TACHIBANA

Must you wink?

Taki you said it yourself... rider is immortal

Taki crying face...

Or yknow

Call Hayato

"Kamen Rider Dies Again"

He just fucking died last episode jesus christ

Taki's time has come

Time...

to call Hayato

Kids don't copy Kamen Rider unless you're a a rider scout, then you can go for it in the name of upholding justice

TAKI WHY

Y'all remember these are nazis that put you on this bus right

Didnt we have a monster with this power before

And it killed itself by mistake

Use your love for Hongo to fight Nazis, Tachibana

SHINTAROU NO
