Kiwi Arms is Gaim's GataKiriBa.

At least GataKiriBa had the excuse of being OP as hell. Which is why I think it was a mistake to introduce it early in the series.
Kiwi Arms doesn't look much different power-wise from a lot of the base Lockseeds.

UPDATE ON MY TATSUNOKO VIEWINGS

I just watched an episode of Casshan called Puppy Runs for Vengeance.

http://www.theanimenetwork.com/Anime...engeance/Watch

In that episode a man's dying act was to hastily hide a thick phallic shaped bomb in his puppy which was sadly named Goopy. It tries to be sad but I can't stop staring at the screen all WTF-like since his whole "I'll show them!" dying act was to cornhole his dog with a bomb.

What Casshan must have made of that scene when he ran into the pup later...

"Shit! Did they... What the fuck Braiking Boss!?"

This is about as fucked as it gets. Go ahead and watch if you want to see this fucked up episode. Its Goopy Time.

Had Eiji used GataKiriBa often the entire Kamen Rider OOO series would be pretty short.

Had Eiji used his brains to chose his medals instead of going TaToBa/TaJaDor all the time, OOO would be even shorter.

Seriously, that shit is beyond overpowered.

Well yeah, that's what I mean, I suppose. It was introduced so they could get another toy out on the shelves and then forgotten almost immediately.

Well, it's literally thrown away after each use. I don't see why one would expect to see it appearing often. The first time Kabuto receives it from Zect on screen, and the 2nd time he used it while working for Zect, so it was presumably a different one received off screen.

Yeah but what about all the time he didn't have TaJaDor but had another twelve medals or something, smh so much potential.

Fuck the Medajalibur.

And whoever directed the action for OOO.

The hoodie is removable, heh. Maybe the whole jacket is? For those SHIT GOT SERIOUS moments?

Spectre looks cool, but Ghost is still better.

EDIT: Oh, it's not Spectre, it's just another Ghost form, Robin. My bad.

I love how the Edison and Robin forms are looking (that lightbulb face works way better than it should). Also, I like how the gadgets are attachments to the Gangan saber to make it change forms.

I hope the badguys are "human", all the good ones in recent memory have been ones where humans get a little of bit of juice and become assholes. Besides Gaim

Sentai sure does love their baseball episodes
And their dream-eating Baku episodes (though this is only the second I know of, after the one in Goseiger).
Hey, Kinji gets a uniform now. Nice.

They seem to be monsters from another dimension, although it still could turn out to be something like Gaim where they were originally human-like.

Hey, Takaharu wasn't that bad on this episode! I mean, the actor was as bad as ever, but what they did with the character was pretty funny.

Using their powers to play baseball was quite fun, too.

Saban's got a new CEO now. Janet Hsu (worked on Hello Kitty before this).

And the first post on RBoard is "MAYBE NOW WE GET FEMALE RED?" ... That place is a fucking wasteland.

A few times a month I go in there to see what they posted and what they are thinking; and every time I come away thinking to myself "they are thinking about this too much"

I can't even find a give to get into their mind-set; it's just too far removed and so disconnected.

I go there to check for show updates (if any). Sweeping through the trash posts is rough...

You don't get to bring friends.
I'd say the only thing Rboard is good for is if you want a certain hard to get toy or costume piece.

Other then those two things it's better to stay far away from discussions

Finally started watching those Zyuranger dvds from Shout Factory I bought back when, and it's got me real hopeful that Dairanger does well. I'd really love to have older stuff like Goranger translated, but I'd even love to have already translated stuff like Shinkenger on a full box set. I've already seen all of Shinkenger, but the box is real nice, and it's nice to have a legal way to support it. Some Rider support would be great too. Give me an OOO and W box.

They already announced they'll be doing Dairanger based off how Zyuranger did. When they first talked about Zyuranger coming out, they said that any Sentai series is on the table if Zyuranger does well.

I really liked the Roidmudes this episode. It's cool when we get sympathetic villains with their own goals outside of the norm.
"Two more after Brain and I" What about Freeze? Or does he not count since he died?

The movie looks awesome. Chris Peppler needs to more non-voice work, he looks like Robert Downey Jr.
The scale between Drive's movie and Ninninger's movie is nuts. Drive's movie looks like it has a budget, Ninninger movie has that cheap-ass dinosaur costume. i can see where Toei's priorities lie.

Heart is really likeable. I still feel like he won't be the big bad. And the cores are limited to 108,
but can be recreated? Interesting.
This episode game me the feeling we'll have an ending where
both humans and Roidmudes live together.

Heeey, it's type Wild! How long has it been? Nice to see unused forms and powers.

It looks like the movie will have quite a few links with the series, I hope we can get an understandable ending without watching the movie, since it'll be months until it's subbed.

EDIT:

Finished Carranger! Great series, reminds me a lot of Kakuranger, but a bit wackier. The last two episodes, in special, remind me a lot of some of the most epic moments in Kakuranger.

Now... I'll just rip my DVDs and watch Flashman on my PC, I stopped twice because it's a bit more inconvenient to watch on DVD.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
NERF BANNO!

I'm also pretty sure one of the Promised Evolutions is gonna end up being
Shinnosuke, since one of the future titles mentions "Golden Drive"---i.e. Type Tridoron is basically a Neo-Roidmude, and will end up "evolving".

Anyway, Ghost stuff...people who claimed to have seen a pre-screening of Surprise Future says he's got a "dark Rider" feel, and apparently his fighting style involves him floating around, of course I imagine the budget for that will run out fast. And Seikai no Owari (basically Japanese Owl City) is rumored to do the theme. I actually recall hearing this quite awhile back, but apparently it's now hinted with them following a Kamen Rider Ghost twitter or something?

In a perffect world Ghost would have a finisher where he rides his bike and shoots a flaming pumpkin at the monster as a nod to the Headless horsemen ghost.

Gonna predict that Heart dies but Medic survives the series, because she promises to live by his ideals from now on.

It will most likely happen.

I used to frequent HLJ or RB for the scans, until I realized there's no value in being the first to see leaks and nowadays everyone post it on social media anyway.

It used be HJU, JeFusion, and Orends Range. There's a Rider facebook group that I follow that updates on this stuff pretty frequently, so it's either that or Twitter. This stuff gets by pretty quickly.

Gou a savage. Medic on the ground in hysterics, attacking no one, and he rushed in for that Rider Kick like God himself told him to do it. Even took a Shift Car for no real reason.
