This adaptation actually put some more effort on recreating scenes and story, it's waaaaay better than Saban's Masked Rider. It's a good adaptation on its own
I remember watching this when I was very little. My memories are very foggy, and since I’m an 03 kid, I was probably about 5 years old around the time it came out. I remember watching so many episodes yet I couldn’t fully describe a single one. I just remember really liking this show and it took me so long to find it again. I looked everywhere and couldn’t find what it was called. Now rewatching these transformations it does give me a nostalgic feeling!
I’m the exact same way. I can remember watching this in my parents room but i can recall nothing about this show except the fact that it was dope as fuck.
Bad writing aside, this show was actually a perfect adaption of Ryuki. Not too childish like Power Rangers, but not too edgy and dark either. The perfect blend. The action sequences were great plus the characters were actually morally believable as opposed to just the standard binary "Lawful Good" and "Chaotic Evil"
Transformation is amazing, characters looked great and a really great adaptation, I don't care if they say that this is bad writing. This is actually a pretty great standalone show but comparing it to Kamen Rider Ryuki, Dragon Knight looks so bad but it doesn't mean that it is truly bad.
I want to see Saber and Zero One in the US. Or better yet and don’t kill me for this, the US could make their own versions of Kamen Rider. That way we get a Kamen Rider series without people complaining about how it was either botched or not a good take on the original series!
what I love about this is the fact that even if the fan base maybe split if this was a good adaptation or not. It introduced western viewerrs to the kamen rider world. The original ryuki was my first kamen rider series and when I watched it during 2004 due to reruns here in the Philippines it was the coolest shit on the tv back then. I will always have fond memories about the original series, I'm just as happy to see that other people are now curious about the world of Kamen Rider in general :)
Technically, the first Kamen Rider show to come to America was Saban's Masked Rider (an adaptation of Kamen Rider Black RX), and before that, there was the internationally released "The Masked Rider: Kamen Rider ZO" for Sega CD.
I'm actually surprised everyone loved this adaptation of ryuki which makes me more happy that I always love this series!! Thanks to this series I get to watched the entire kamen riders series!
Some of these actors are well-known small screen actors; in fact, two of them-Wing Knight (Matt Mullins) and the Advent Master (Mark Dacascos)-would go on to be in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
@@MuiGohan Not to mention Dacascos played Kung Lao in Legacy Season 2; sadly, Mullins didn't return as Johnny Cage from Legacy Season 1 and the Rebirth fan film.
I watched Kamen Rider Ryuki as a small kid when I was always visiting my grandparents in Vietnam. Japanese shows were hugely popular for kids back in Pacific Asia, but it never got popular in the west like Super Sentai/Power Rangers. This series reintroduced me back to the Kamen Rider franchise and I still love the nostalgia stemming from it. Superheroes, Anti-Heroes or Villains fighting not only for good/bad, but foremost for themselved had always intrigued me.
Kamen Rider Ryuki: A Kamen Rider meets Hunger Games meets Battle Royal for one single wish with a phrase: "If you don't fight, you won't survive." Kamen Rider Dragon Knight: A Kamen Rider adaptation about Riders fighting between their identity, moral values & loyalty as well as another world twist aka Ventara
Because of the low ratings. Hasbro is just starting with Power Rangers. We never know if the tokusatsu concept be popular again for the kids in America. However, TOEI is starting to give up series to test the waters again.
Also it doesn't help that many Asian businesses like Japan hate the aspect of a niche audiences, if they have cash cow that does well domestic they rather play it safe they might acknowledge there an international audience but they rather ignore them and not risk it. Most Asia has this Galpagos Syndrome in a nutshell they don't want to risk any loses internationally if this does well domestically and they rather stay Isolated, Japan is one of them and they hardcore when it comes this syndrome to the point it basically part of their culture.
@@darrisreid502 facts I seen it once and it was after a tmnt episode the week after they changed its time slot and sonic x was after tmnt instead of KRDK
How the series SHOULD have ended: Following that final morph, DK, WK and Siren are fighting a monster at night, having fought throughout the day to no avail. The monster which is grey coloured and looks like a minotaur just won’t go down. As the three riders lie on the floor struggling to get up, the monster sees someone approaching from under a bridge. A person wearing armor with red glowing lines in the shape of a human, and a face of a circle in two halves. The monster charges this person, who throws a single punch and sends it flying back. DK looks in shock and awe at the Power of this mystery assistant. The mystery man then pushes a button on their belt, and an electronic voice calls out “EXCEED CHARGE”. A glowing pulse follows the red lined from the belt down their right leg to a device which chimes when powered up. The man then throws a roundhouse kick which sends a red energy pulse at the monster, creating a cone vortex which holds him suspended in place. He then jumps into the cone and goes straight through the monster, reducing it to ash. DK, WK and Siren slowly get up and ask who he is, to which he slowly turns and says “You think you’re the only Kamen Riders in this world?” before walking away.
Lmao you and me both, I was like 7 in 2009 and was legit the intended audience but for whatever reason I never watched it on CW w/ my brothers. Guess all we cared about is yugioh but at least I can watch Ryuki now 🔥
Feels so good to reconnect with my past with all these classic's i can't get enough of it man i used to watch this show now seeing it on here just brought some awesome memories i love kamen rider dragon knight still do even as an adult it's still an awesome series to watch glad to know i'm not the only one still watches this series
This show impressed me a lot when I was a kid compared to Power Rangers with some of its direction. Like the main character Ryuki dying halfway through the season and returning later as Ryuga.
Watching this as a kid was a gem right along side power rangers it was that turnt up and I loved it got me watching Kamen rider Ryuki just cause of it really wish more were adapted
Power ranger bring break story timeline each eps. You get a problem, fix it, play with monster, summon in big creature, call megazord, and die, while kamen rider bring good connection each eps. just like a series super hero eps.
I just realized Matt Mullins who plays Len here (Wing Knight) was Leo Howard's (Jack from kickin' It!) actual martial arts trainer - he also played a character in Kickin' It too.
Man, I just wish instead of saying "Kamen rider" every time they transform they would just say "Transform" or something... it'd be improved so much just with that simple change.
Creator for this show wanted to do Faiz or Kabuto next, but since Dragon Knight didn't get that much of popularity they needed, they cancelled it 🥲honestly I wanted to see more of Kamen Rider adaption.
Funny that they say "Kamen Rider" to transform here when Decade happened to be running at the same time. Remind me, what did the Decadriver say when Tsukasa threw in a card?
The fact that this has a better henshin sq than the original 🤣 for me atleast the buckle collapsing when inserted with the advent deck is pretty neat addition
I think for the English Adaptation they should’ve said “Let’s Ride” instead of “Kamen Rider” when they morph (even though Henshin is very very easy to pronounce, even for English-speakers like me)
Saying Henshin would be pretty weird, unless you either had Japanese actors/set the show in Japan, or appropriate it into a magic word. At most, you could get away with keeping it in a dub. "Transform" should be the easy replacement, but I think the existence of Transformers has made this very difficult to be taken seriously. "Metamorph" would be a good alternative (officially used for the English Kuuga theme) if Power Rangers didn't have the word morph so closely associated.
I'm surprised how much this adaptation introduced a lot of American people to Kamen Rider. I'm French and I was introduced to Super Hero Time back in 2011 with the Gokaiger/OOO lineup.
I remember back then this series was aired just a week after Ryuki's last episode, and it initially make me think maybe Ryuki aren't over yet until i see western actors
Wish they did the riders' unique poses each time before they transformed. Besides that, this was a decent adaptation. Shame they don't do more of these.
I think the thing that made this show not work was the overly intense vibe the show had and the INCREDIBLY intense special effects that were just not needed. Ryuki had a simple transformation that worked pretty well. This show was just really dramatic.
If I could, I’d change the Onyx (dark) rider to a different animal motif. A wolf, in my opinion. What would you change it too if you felt the same way?

If I could, I’d change the Onyx (dark) rider to a different animal motif. A wolf, in my opinion. What would you change it too if you felt the same way?
He’s a good guy here
it is supposed to mirror the main character, having a dark dragon against a fire dragon makes sense.
Fun fact: Mark Dacascos could have been among the first Power Rangers if Saban's Bioman pilot had been greenlit.
