Man welcome back I missed you and your well researched videos! Man watching this really highlights how Kamen Rider has changed over the years for better and for worst. If there one critcism is some of the audio is really inbalanced like right here 1:23 and 1:57
Very fitting you made this video now, since W's (canon!) sequel anime is gonna start soon, and it's already slated for an official western release, making it one of the few Rider shows to get any release at all outside of Japan. 😄
I hate W , I would add Wizard as a good starter too , I'm gonna with Wizard , Haruto Has been fighting longer , So He is the most experienced Primary rider in Heisei phase 2 , Haruto is an extremely skilled master martial artist who has shown a high-level of combat skills. His unique fighting style is very acrobatic and heavily attack-oriented , primarily utilizing powerful sweeping kicks , aerial takedowns which uses lots of kicks and flips while using his arms to block and throw elbow strikes or initiate holds able to fight against stronger opponent. His attacks are fluid and swift , allowing him to transition from attack to defense rapidly. His combat skills gradually enhanced as he fought against numerous Phantoms as Wizard throughout the series. Even without transformed , he was able to effortlessly fight against and knock down numerous Ghouls at once , which are capable of beating down trained police officers and are durable enough to withstand gunfire from New Namba M60 revolvers. He even held his own against Legion who was an extremely powerful phantom capable of opening an entrance to anyone's Underworld , as he effectively dodged the attacks and managed to push back. In Movie War Ultimatum , Haruto was able to effectively fight against numerous Dopants , Yummies and Zodiarts with ease. In Dr. Pac-Man vs. Ex-Aid & Ghost with Legend Rider , Haruto's combat abilities had shown to be improved that even without relying on his acrobatic fighting style, he was able to fight against Kazushige Ryuzaki defeated Emu Hojo in hand-to hand combat with ease who was a bugster and later even gained an upper hand throughout the fight.
when i first got into kr, someone i followed on tumblr said W was one of the best kr shows out there. this was in 2011 when fourze began airing. when i compared fourze to w, i thought it was a nobrainer what i should watch first so i watched den-o while watching fourze. i didnt wanna watch w at first because i thought the design was too boring, and i had seen that they would have form changes, but it was essentially a colorswap, and i thought that was boring too. watching this video reminded of when i used to think that. i finished w and it really is one of the best kr and tokusatsu shows out there. w's design philosophy as you described it makes so much sense now. it wasnt boring. i was missing historical context because id never seen a kr show before then. w's simple design is sleek, modern, kinda like a comic. even in context i thought it made sense: w was kinda the new beginning of neoheisei. so they returned to where they started in terms of design, and followed what they felt would make a compelling story afterwards. im glad you made a vid about this. good to see you back dude

Honestly, probably the biggest missed opportunities Toei has ever done is not utilizing the concept of the multiverse to it’s fullest potential (not just for KR, but for SS, MH, and literally every other toku productions by Toei ever including all the really old, obscure, or forgotten ones such as Gekko Kamen, Giant Robo, and even the live action Sailer Moon that ultimately killed Tsuberaya’s plan for more gritty Ultraman) all thanks to the dumbass decision to create AR versions of past riders rather than do what Zi-O did which was to bring back whomever they could. We could’ve had a *World Of Showa* completely separate from every other rider show afterwards where the actual events of Ichigo-J literally took place in, we could’ve a *World Of Vs* where every Sentai crossover ever made including Gokaiger takes place, we could’ve had every new KR and SS series right after both Decade and Gokaiger take place in their own more unique individual worlds (like we’ve already kinda gotten with stuff like how Build takes place in a dystopian divided yet war torn Japan or how Kyuranger takes place in a universe literally ruled by the big bad of that series) with every Movie War, Superhero Taisen, etc (with the exception of SS’s crossovers with themselves including Gokaiger as they already take place in one single world supposedly) placing a large emphasis on two or more worlds converging essentially leading to they’re respective worlds’s histories *literally* being merged into one, tbh I could really go on and on but I’ll stop here. Since canon is basically subjective, my own headcanon is that Kamen Rider ended after Kiva and that everything afterwards is nothing but fanfic (the same way a lot of people would say that PR ended either after RPM or BM and that anything afterwards is nothing but fanfic).
Having looked at Zero One's design next to W, I figured out why I hated the former's design so much when W's looked much simpler: the segmented green on black just makes the whole suit look cheap, especially the head where it looks like he's wearing a mask over a black morph suit rather than a helmet
W is basically my gateway on returning ot Tokusatsu. Watching that during hard times in my life also emphasize my sentiment towards it. I'm glad you make this video of one of my fav KR installment! PS: I sometimes wonder if this show somehow influenced Pacific Rim due to their linking-minds similarity concept 🤔

@@saiyaujeff8171 Why you replying to me tho? Literally just make a normal reply to the video. You really think he's likely to check the replies to my comment to find one directed at him?
Decade isn't basically an afterthought , But Build was basically an afterthought? That's very odd to think about. Poor Sento (Spoilers of Build New World Cross-Z and Grease) = His final form (Build genius was badly received) same goes with Banjou's Great Cross-z and Gentoku's Prime Rogue , Sento has no friends because Banjou had Yui , Kazumin had Misora and Gentoku had Sawa.
I would highly recommend having some chill or slow paced music in the background, great channel though!!
Man welcome back I missed you and your well researched videos!
Man watching this really highlights how Kamen Rider has changed over the years for better and for worst.
If there one critcism is some of the audio is really inbalanced like right here 1:23 and 1:57
Really hope this show gets a stateside release, cuz of the anime sequal
Can't wait for the KR W anime this summer.
I hate W , You should get to watching the rest of Wizard now because it's his 10th anniversary.
Oh so THAT'S why Decade was shorter!
Double/W has such a clean and handsome design.
Oh there you are...

Glad to see you're back and doing well.
It's great that you've returned
Huh...so Decade was basically an afterthought? That's very odd to think about.
2:43 Faiz's design is apparently shark based but it's hard to tell.
i finished w before 5 days and that's great
Glad to see you back! Hope your doing well!
Great video, I would love it if you can make a video about the production of kamen rider decade since the show had many production issues
Wizard 10th anniversary just skip decade because decade is frecking overrated
