There are differences between USB 1.0, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0...

Kivat Bat and Sagarc are two artificial races created by Fangire, with the later being a more ancient creation. It's like this, Sagarc = Core 2 Duo, Kivat Bat = i7... Hence, the King of Fangire will of course choose Kivat Bat over Sagarc, and that kinda made Saga an 'old' and secondary armor (Taiga has no choice but to use it since his mother Maia kept Kivat Bat II hidden somewhere).

Since both Kivat Bat and Sagarc are somewhat race of mechanical beings, I imagine them to reproduce by building their younglings themselves - Go watch the movie "Batteries Not Included", which might be where the Sagarc were inspired from.

Wataru's fangire form is unknown, since he chooses his human side anyway, but Taiga is hinted to be related to serpent.

Kiva is sealed because the true power is strong and powerful for a halfling like Wataru to handle. ~ there were hint that Kiva's true power (probably pointing towards Dark Kiva) would cause great destructions (Ultimate Kuuga level ) but it seemed that the script writer Inoue-san totally dropped the idea as the story progressed.

IXA is totally a creation of mankind, since it get improved by time... - Us human can only evolve by hard work and yeah, hard work takes time. It is developed through secrecy but nevertheless still found out by the Fangires which is why the original King sent out Rook to massacre the lab personel including Yuri's mother. The Fangire King's duty is to stop any potential danger towards the race of Fangire including slowing down the developement of human technology.

The Fake Fuestle used by IXA are imitation of Kiva's - The Aozora Organization might have had some help from the former Fangire Queen Maia, or they might have 'use' Taiga which is why he felt himself just a tool to human and thus he ran away.

OOO is indeed the multi-king... TaMaShii combo,Taka, Imagin and Shocker...?! What the hell...?

Well, since the other OOO is supposed to be the original OOO who is actually OOO himself, who is pretty much OOO, the dino combo could still be OOO's, any OOOs.

Then, Putotyra combo would be equivalent of a primordial version of OOO's Tatoba combo. If the rumour for the other OOO is correct, Putotyra could still be his default combo. If not, this would just be another one of OOO's combo... Either way, it's still OOO...

The White Knight Chronicles is a cool concept, and I guess a serious Kamen Rider game would be more story driven ala RPG style rather than simple action.

W and OOO is whole new era though (another new 10 years, while Kuuga to Decade is the previous 10 years), so they are trying to do them with a whole new style. - Focusing on monster-of-the-day-arc with a side-overall-main-plot. The main plot would unfold itself slowly and you only get to know things closer to the end.

Sweet Holy Ishimori!! ~ looks like the rumours from last year were partially true, the part about reviving Ishinomori-sensei's work into a new era. - A sort of 'World of Ishinomori'.

Too bad, they did not really make any modernize version of Kikaida or Inazuman (if according to the rumour) though.

~ Decade is not 'complete' though...

~ Snack Amigo is ruined though. Old man Tachibana's gonna be pissed.

Oh yeah, I am wondering if Hiroshi Miyauchi would be voicing both Kamen Rider V3 and Kaiketsu Zubat...

Well, yeah, I saw that... ~ We know Miyauchi-san is gonna voiced V3 anyway, but I am still wondering if he will voiced Zubat too, or maybe Toei will just use some old stock sound clips...

Well, Kikaider and Inazuman and maybe even Zubat would most likely exist side-by-side with the Showa Riders in the Showa world... ~ They should have put in Supaidaman too.

And add some edited sound clips of his classic theme... -- Zubat is a true hero since he's just a mere human without any special power. Kikaiders are robot, Inazuman is a mutant, Showa Riders are cyborgs, while Heisei Riders mostly uses special devices.


The fight against evil is always filled with tragedy and struggle.

None, no subs what-so-ever. - I don't really understand japanese but already read the review and spoiled myself or maybe even watch the subbed version already anyway, so whether it's subbed or non-subbed, it makes no different to me.

Toei licensed their work through Asatsu-DK to other company from the asian region, so we need a proper distribution\production company to release 'em with subs, the problem is HK or TW releases are all catering to their local market so chinese subbed only, while even though we have Speedy here, they don't seem to be that enthusiastic with releasing what they 'owned' into DVDs(a couple of release of KR movies a few years back but nothing since)...

Woah, cool, awesome, stylish - there are many words to describe that and all of it ranged from good to great...

You should ask Speedy, they pretty much 'owned' the Kamen Rider franchise (media only) locally, and yeah, Golden Screen Cinema is actually a subsidiary of Speedy. ~ Remember the annual japanese movie festival? If I remember correctly, Mebius' first movie was shown during one of that event years back.

Speedy brought the broadcast license(s) of Kamen Rider series which are aired on local tv (NTV7), they used to release the theatrical version of Kamen Rider series on dvds as well, but these are always a year and more behind Taiwan and Hong kong, simply because Speedy bought their license through a Licensing Agency (Medialink - appointed by Toei through Asatsu-DK) from Hong Kong. - The reason...? Cheaper and I have no doubt that it's easier to do the dubbing when you can just translate the cantonese dubs or subs.

Speedy would have to pay more if they want to do simultaneous broadcasting and don't forget extra cash if they want to get the movie too since those are actually seperately licensed from the tv series (different title equals different copyrights) and then they have to go through Toei themselves which is not an easy job since that's mean that they are by-passing the official regional agent (not a good thing to do if ya wanna do business).

Since the dvds of Kamen Rider movies weren't really profitable, Speedy have stopped doing them, meaning that there are no money in them, and thus there no market here. - These dvd are the ones that have 'Speedy' logo on them, not the others... Of course, their biggest mistake was they used the Hong Kong source directly which means that sometimes these release (Japanese Audio plus Cantonese dubbed) actually only comes with only chinese subs and they did not bother to create either english or malay subs.



PS: Ultraman Zero will be part of a Trilogy which included Ultra Galaxy Legend, Ultraman Zero and a third yet unnamed movie coming this December. Janbot, Mirror Knight and Glen Fire are 'modernized' version of the older series which were Jumborg, Mirrorman and Fireman respectively.

Holy Sweet !! That looks even better.

Ado-bento... Birth's Scorpion!!

Yes, lookey all teh monay!! Looks like bakugan mixed with digimon and the ryuki concept, but instead of multiple riders with their own monster, we now have one single rider with multiple monster and forms to go with them. Imagine a 'united vent'.... @_@"

It is as planned... Well, W is pretty much 'pseudo-Kuuga' (multi-form, especially the weapon based. Detective story >> Cop story), while OOO is 'pseudo-Agito' (Trinity form, anyone?)

Combining different monster to create the bike or giant monster = Digi-Xross!! ~ Ohmybandai!!


Sweet, hopefully this will be the cover-art for the first press slipcase...

Awesome? Of course it will be... ~ but not suitable for kids... Bandai's priority group of customer.

Den-O is now a sub-franchise of the kamen rider franchise called Cho Den-O, and it's all about teh moneh!!

Sakamoto mentioned his intention of continuing W, I seriously hope that he's not joking...
