Fun fact: ZX henshin in the Spirits manga was so cool, that Toei actually used it for ZX henshin in Tycoon Special (the wind effect, with the Black lines in his face after performing the henshin action, which was a tribute to Ishinomori original manga) You can compare the henshin sequence in the Special with chapter 31-32 of Kamen Rider Spirits
ZX is not only another example of how strong the franchise is, but also truly showing that when everyone bands together and give effort and love to make a new rider just for the franchise to continue. I really can't express of how happy I felt when I heard that amazing piece of history
Recently, ZX has appeared in the 'Kamen Rider Tycoon meets Kamen Rider Shinobi' special teaming up with other ninja themed Kamen Riders, with his original actor once again reprising his role.
While we didn't get a full series, the 2nd Kamen Rider Spirits manga that focuses on him is a really good read that builds nicely on the character's original story. Doesn't make up for the lack of a full mid-1980's Kamen Rider TV series, but it adds to his background.
@@JapanHero Hmmmm.... hopefully they translate that and give it a international release then, like what they did with the Ichigo and Kuuga manga's, the Zero one comic too.
2:30, I didn't know he appeared officially in 1982. 4:20, a main Rider being friends with a Mutant in the start of a backstory sounds like a pretty cool idea. I really hope this comes back in a future project. 4:57, gee I wonder if Kamen Rider Amazon was present in there at the time. Hehe. 14:10, one of the much better of the SHT movies imo.
In 1994 with Saban’s power toward the world. I went out to educate myself with Super Sentai and of course Kamen Rider and this special was the introduction to Kamen Rider as a whole. Those where the days, ZO was the current Rider and J would be coming out soon. TV was not over saturated with Henshin Heroes calling themselves “Kamen Rider” as they no longer based on bugs, cyborgs or the stories are dark(W-Geats). Besides the 35 minute special, ZX(Z-Cross) should have had 10 episode line to tell the character and have crossover(is the 80s allowed it) with Dynaman and Sharivan.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback on that. I just started using Final Cut Pro a month or two ago and now also leveraging its audio cleaning/enhancing tools. Hopefully it'll continue to get better.
It's a shame that this special is short because part of the plot is summarized at the beginning and when I was even a little confused. / we realize that despite bringing several old Riders this special already brings a lot of the mid 80's aesthetics for filming, action scenes and photography, and ZX has a more 80's look too. I liked it when the movie Heisei vs Showa highlighted him, that's worth a lot and it's a shame these crossovers ended because they could do something like ZO and J
Thank you for that feedback! This was my 2nd video using Final Cut Pro, so I'm still learning the ropes and trying to improve on what I'm doing. I hope to do some really cool things in upcoming videos.
Not yet! But after working on this video I became interested in tracking them down. If I'm able to collect them in any form in the coming year or two I'll absolutely do a feature on them.

ZX made me realize that Metal Gear Solid's Grey Fox is in essence a Kamen Rider.

Just recently saw that special. That was so good!! 🥷🦗🏍️
i love ZX so much. In the kamen rider spirits manga he was so hype and badass to read through and haevs like best fights imo
Damn so ZX was an official OC in a way(kinda like Jet Jaguar), that's dope. I kinda wish he got his own series

@@HordikaNate3821 there is a fan dub.
@@disneyboy3030 Link me please, I have to watch it
@@HordikaNate3821 I meant a sub for the comments but the Toei video does have have subs.
zx is awesome i would love to own all of the showa era on blue ray.
Kamen Rider ZX was, in my opinion, one of the most awesome Kamen Riders to ever be created for a Kamen Rider Anniversary 😁😉👍

4:20, a main Rider being friends with a Mutant in the start of a backstory sounds like a pretty cool idea. I really hope this comes back in a future project.

ZX is my second favorite Showa Rider!
Awesome! I hope I him justice in this video! 😀
in terms of Showa he's up there for me, probably behind ZO, Black, and the first two Riders, maybe Amazon as well
It’s just a dang shame ZX never got a proper full TV series.
ZX is actually my favorite Showa Rider
Awesome! ZX is a fantastic entry in the Kamen Rider series and fun character!
Wonderful video! I loved learning so much about ZX, his opening song is so cool.
Thank you very much!
Dragon Road is a bop
And a good Sonic The Hedgehog level :p

I love ZX, he might be my favorite Kamen Rider
I highly recommend Kamen Rider Spirits, its by far the best thing ZX has been in
Nice to have you back! Audio sounds nice & crisp!

More people should be watching your content. Well done.
Thank you very much! I appreciate it!
Currently reading kamen rider spirit manga, and Now his arc I'm reading
Awesome! It's such a good part of that story!
Birth of the 10th Kamen Rider All Together
It looks like your editing has gotten better

Shun Sugata didn't play Bill Goldy in Tokusou Robot Janperson ???
That's what I remember him for. Memorable performance.
Kamen Rider Zx is underrated
So Showa has there anniversary rider huh?..
I just didn't realized that
That Is So Cool 😎
Thank you very much!
ZX costume design is referenced from the Hockey player. 😄
do you have any of the ZX magazine printed adventures? Would love to hear see more of them!
Not yet! But after working on this video I became interested in tracking them down. If I'm able to collect them in any form in the coming year or two I'll absolutely do a feature on them.
A direita, quem seria? 8:55
Any new about making a all rider video?
I'd love to do an all rider video! 😀 Unsure on when, but I'm sure I'll get to something close to your suggestion in the future. Thank you.
@@JapanHero I wish you made the video before geats guess it’s too late.
Hello friend gringo xd

Poderoso que ohma zio
Que ironico 😂😂
I'd pay good money for a Shows Reboot ZX series
1000%
You are saying kamen wrong
It says ZX but its called Zet Cross i don't understand how they pronounce it i guess. But still doesn't make any sense 😮
“Zett” was how Japanese pronounce “Z”, while “Cross” is the another name for the X (this is a mark, not a letter in the alphabet)
