Recently finished up a review… that took a lot out of me… uh… I'm not completely sure what's going to be reviewed next, since I don't exactly have anything I'm looking to talk about at the moment.
Next Hero chapter is here… uh… not much else to say, so let's begin.
Fire Emblem belongs to Nintendo, Intelligent Systems, etc. Kamen Rider belongs to Toei, Bandai, etc. All OCs belong to their owners.
Previously on Kamen Rider Hero…
Tiki-chan: Welcome to the Radiant Dawn no… Sekai…
Takeshi: Oh my… what on earth happened here?
Micaiah: ...you must be that hero. To bad this'll be your last day…
Hero-Ike: GREAT… AETHER!
Tiki-chan: Let's just get her somewhere where we can ask her some questions.
Takeshi and Tiki-chan both stared at the unconscious Micaiah as she was slowly starting to wake up.
"...my head…" she muttered as she slowly rubbed her head a bit. Micaiah slowly looked around and then saw Takeshi and Tiki-chan sitting there, "..."
"Don't even bother trying to run," Takeshi warned her, "I disarmed you while you were out cold."
Micaiah stared for a moment before she realized she was indeed missing her tome and her transformation disk. She stared at Takeshi before she began to giggle a bit.
"...uh…" Takeshi stared.
Micaiah ignored him as her giggle turned into near insane laughter.
"...I don't get what she's laughing about," Takeshi commented.
Tiki-chan simply stared for a moment before making her guess, "She might be insane…"
"I don't know…" Takeshi commented as he began to think, "...what should we do now?"
The silver-haired woman simply continued to laugh a bit as the two dimensional travelers tried to think of a plan.
Kowashitai daijisou ni kakaeta watashi o zenbu (I'm breaking down all the walls I've built up around my lonely heart now) *Takeshi held his phone in his hand before he was seemingly absorbed into it.*
Kimi ga kono kodoku o itami o iyasu no (You're the one that takes it all away, my solitude and all my pain) *His phone was now attached onto his wrist and his Driver was in position.*
Reincarnation Realization *The Kamen Ride Hero card slipped out and into the phone insertion.*
Reincarnation kiete shimaitai (I want to disappear…) *Takeshi now stood on the ground as Kamen Rider Hero.*
Kamen Rider Hero
Nemuranai machi no zawameki aisouwarai no yuutsu (I walk alone through the city of lights, I see the same fake smiles every night) *Takeshi was now back in the real world and had his phone in his hand, playing Fire Emblem Heroes.*
Honne nante itsuka doko ka mienai furi (Cause everyone hides...they run and they hide from their real feelings.) *The game then had all of the characters seemingly vanish. Takeshi then took his phone and put it into position*
Dare datte fuan nante sonna (And everyone's got their stresses too, yeah I know) *Hero was seen punching and kicking various Risen foes, knocking them away, before he turned to see the fractured stained glassed windows of the nine worlds.*
Iwarenakutemo wakatteru (But I already get that's the status quo. I'm breaking down…) *Kamen Rider Marth, Ike, Robin, Micaiah, Roy and Lucina all stood and seemed fractured as well. Hero stood in the center of the six, glancing towards the three without representation.*
Kowashitai daijisou ni kakaeta tsuyogari nante (All the masks that I wear to hide my lonely heart now) *He took the six cards and loaded them into his card scanner, now being armed with the Fire Emblem itself. The cloaked woman walked over to him and simply smiled.*
Demo sunao ni narenai (But what if I'm just lying to myself?) *Takeshi stared at his phone for a moment before he was joined by Tiki-chan, who was initially in her distance form then in her normal form, who then smiled at him*
Mayottemo nayan demo kimi ga motomeru nara (If even now, you still want me when I am hurt,wandering lost in the rain) *Takeshi and the green orb both stood between the worlds, looking towards the six Riders and three silhouetted figures.
Semete kono kodoku o itami o kowashite (The at least help me destroy it all… My solitude, and all my pain) *Takeshi now stood as Kamen Rider Hero and reached out to them, trying to save them.*
Reincarnation Realization *Takeshi was now back in his base and held out the Kamen Rider Hero card.*
Reincarnation umarekawaritai (I want to be reborn) *He then turned towards the reader and gave a simple smile, showing off the Hero card.*
Emblem 09: To A Radiant Dawn
Takeshi covered his ears as Micaiah had still not stopped laughing while Tiki-chan was working on sketching something out on Takeshi's phone.
"How long has it been since she woke up?" Takeshi asked.
"Almost an hour…"
Takeshi groaned a bit as he slowly headed out of the cave, Tiki-chan tailing after him, leaving the laughing woman on her own. Takeshi was about to walk back in when he heard Micaiah's laughter slowly turn into crying.
"...what the…?" Tiki-chan whispered before being given a 'shh' motion by Takesi.
Micaiah continued to sob as she curled up into a fetal position to continue sobbing. Takeshi and Tiki-chan both exchanged looks before they slowly walked back in.
"...uh… hi…" Takeshi greeted.
Micaiah's tears quickly came to a stop as she looked at Takeshi and tried to begin to laugh again.
"...so… you're sad about something… what's the matter?" Takeshi asked as he sat down next to her.
The silver-haired woman quickly turned away from Takeshi, but turned back around when she began to smell food.
"Uh… you want this?" Takeshi asked as he handed her the ramen cup he was about to eat.
Micaiah said nothing as she quickly grabbed the cup and began to drink out of it.
"...I'll take that as a yes…"
"...where is she…?" Lekain growled as he sat in his throne, "She should've finished the mission by now…"
"If I had that answer I would give it." his assistant informed.
"Izuka… you gave me the means to give me a Kamen Rider and I am appreciative… but now I'm getting annoyed…" Lekain growled, "Even with a Kamen Rider to do my bidding, the world hasn't completely fallen to my command…"
"Perhaps it may be because your agent is one of sin…" Izuka suggested as he walked over, "I can grant you the power to carry out your will on your own and get rid of the Kamen Rider of sin…"
Lekain turned towards Izuka and gained a wicked smirk…
"So… your commander was forced into a blood pact and, after he died, the obligation flowed to you…" Takeshi commented.
"And, as is obvious, you had to do many atrocious acts to make sure that the curse of the blood pact never took effect," Tiki-chan added, "Well, in any case… where's the Dawn Brigade? They should be helping you…"
The silver-haired woman slowly began to tear up a bit as she curled up a tiny bit, "...I lost them all…"
"Was it because of the day that you left the banquet to go snooze alone?" Tiki-chan asked.
"Huh?" Takeshi and Micaiah both blinked.
"Uh… I just… know a lot…" Tiki-chan quickly said.
"It wasn't a banquet… I left camp to be alone… and I did snooze…" she responded before she was on the midst of crying again, "...I used my magic and saw... what happened..."
"General Jarod?! Why are you here?" a man with green hair yelled.
"I'm doomed, thanks to your Silver-Haired Maiden. But if I have to go down, I'm taking someone with me…"
"Even with one Rider still at the base camp… it… it… it wasn't enough…" she whimpered as she recalled what had happened next, "I arrived… just as magical energy died down…"
"Minna! Minna! MINNA!" Micaiah called out as she ran around the charred remains of the area before recognizing her green haired friend, "Sothe!"
"Mic… aiah…" he weakly spoke as she ran over to his side.
"Don't worry, I have healing magic a-"
"...it's… to late…" he told her, "...I'll miss you…"
Micaiah gasped as she felt his heart stop and saw everything else was dead. She began to sob as it began to rain.
Micaiah was sobbing for a tiny bit as she held what remained of a green disk of sorts that was similar to her own transformation disk. Takeshi slowly scooted away and then turned to Tiki-chan.
"Who's Sothe?" he whispered.
"He's a childhood friend and sweetheart of Micaiah who debuted in Path of Radiance," Tiki-chan whispered as she pulled up his phone and showed a chibi-image of him, "They were pretty much inseparable until he had to leave her to protect her from being persecuted as a Branded. If they had an A Rank support, they'd get married."
Takeshi gave a quick nod before scooting over to try and comfort Micaiah, but she quickly glared at him to get him to back off.
"...sorry…" she apologized.
"So… since you lost everyone… I guess you had to hide all of your emotions behind a mask of… insanity?" Takeshi guessed.
"Hit the nail on the head," she responded, "It was the best way to carry out the missions that Lekain sent me on. Just… hid any emotion behind faking insanity."
Takeshi gave a small nod before he looked a bit at the green disk, "Was that Sothe's?"
"...yeah…" she nodded.
"Henshin!" Micaiah and Sothe yelled as they spun their disks. Micaiah turned her into her Rider form. Sothe himself turned into a Rider that resembled Zangetsu-Shin with a limegreen as the main color with highlights of dark green and brown, the symbol on the armor being replaced with a picture of a dagger, a helmet that had the hair of Fuuma and the mask of Ghost's Benkei Damashii, minus the horn.
"Ikuzo!" Sothe told her as they charged forward…
"It was the only thing left of him… of my partner…" she whimpered, "Of a fellow Kamen Rider…"
"All that pain built up in ya… maybe you need to stop being one for a while…" Takeshi commented.
There was silence in the cave for a full minute before Micaiah spoke again.
"...what does it mean?"
"Come again?"
"What does it mean to be a Kamen Rider?"
"...why ask?"
"...Lekain has made me do so many things to hurt people that they say I don't deserve the title… it's happened so much that I don't even know what it means to be a Kamen Rider anymore…" she elaborated, "So… what does it mean to be a Kamen Rider?"
"...hmm…" Takeshi pondered as he thought for a moment before recalling one of the better examples of what the title meant.
"Kamen… Rider? Kore wa?" Gaim asked.
"It's what warriors who fight to protect the freedom of all people are called," Wizard responded as Gaim turned to him, "And they always appear when someone is calling for help."
"Oh… well, I did hear someone calling for help…" Gaim admitted.
"So did I. I said I would help… that's how I got here," Wizard added, "That's why… you're also a Kamen Rider."
"Well… I guess that makes me Kamen Rider Gaim," Gaim said as he held his two blades ready, "Right?"
"...it's what warriors who fight to protect the freedom of all people are called," Takeshi began to speak, "And they always appear when someone is calling for help…"
"...another Rider never showed up to defend the people I cared for…" Micaiah commented.
"But a Rider was there…" Takeshi said as he pointed to Sothe's disk, "And now, if you want to truly be a Kamen Rider, you gotta answer the calls of help that this world is making…"
Micaiah stared at him for a moment before a smirk slowly grew on her face, "You're right. ...I need to defend this world… and I will!"
She quickly grabbed her disk and tome and sped away from Takeshi.
"I thought you hid those!" Tiki-chan yelled.
"I was gonna give them back once I was sure I could trust her!"
The two both sighed as they quickly dashed after her as fast as they could. They then noticed something and skidded to a stop as they saw a person approaching them.
"What the…?" Tiki-chan blinked a bit.
"Huh? ...white cloak…" Takeshi gasped as the person walked close enough to reveal he was in a white cloak, "Looks like the Narutaki of this adventure has finally decided to show themself! Who are you?!"
The person was silent as he took out a gun of sorts from a holder that resembled the one the Kyoryugers kept the Gaburevolvers in, the gun itself looking like the Yo-Blaster from Yo-Kai Watch 3, with the insertion point for the Watch part looking scratched off and what was blue was black and what was orange was a cyan. He took out a Rider Card that resembled Takeshi's Hero card, causing both Takeshi and Tiki-chan to gasp, and he loaded it into the gun.
=KAMEN RIDE: …=
"..." Takeshi was rendered speechless.
"...henshin…" he muttered as he fired the gun.
=NEO-HERO!=
A cyan blast quickly flew around and then landed on the man in the white cloak. His armor was then revealed to be just like Hero's, but what was white was now black, what was teal was now cyan, and what was gold was now silver. Apart from that, his suit lacked the horn and had what looked like Ex-Aid's eye-visor as a pair of goggles, shoulderpads that resembled Brave's, seeming sleeves connected to the shoulder pads and the hoodie that resembled the Orange Armor's shoulder pads, the sort of leg cloak that Wizard had, a white scarf similar to Super-1's scarf, a belt buckle that was silver and just there, gauntlets that looked like Ex-Aid Creator Gamer's, minus the fins, the right gauntlet having what looked to be a closed 3DS on it, a gun holster on his right side and what looked like Decade's Ride Booker, presently closed, that was now a silver color of sorts.
"...Neo… Hero?"
Neo-Hero reached into his card container and took out two Rider Cards. He loaded them into the gun and then fired two shots forward.
=KAMEN RIDE: ...ROBIN! OLIVIA!=
The blasts then turned into Kamen Riders Robin and Olivia, both battle ready. Neo-Nero then opened up the 3DS on his right gauntlet and used a stylus to guide the two Riders forward similar to how a 3DS Fire Emblem game would be played. Takeshi had to quickly evade a sword strike from the Levin Sword and quickly take out his phone and belt buckle.
"Henshin!" he yelled.
=KAMEN RIDE: ...HERO!=
Kamen Rider Hero stood up and as battle ready as he could be.
Micaiah arrived at Lekain's castle and saw him sitting in the throne.
"You're finally back…" Lekain said as he stood, "So… Kamen Rider… did you kill the supposed 'Hero'?"
"I haven't… and I'm through listening to you…" Micaiah told him as she held her tome ready, "You have nothing to threaten me with… everything I loved is gone and now… I'm saving this world…"
"Ah, Silver-Haired Maiden," Lekain scoffed as he stood up from his throne, "Both Branded and ex-Daein general... Your very existence is vile beyond belief."
"Lekain, Duke of Gaddos... You crushed the people of Daein beneath your unjust rule and dragged me into a futile war. How do you live with the guilt of your sins?" Micaiah demanded to know.
"Sins? Do not presume to speak to me of sin, Banded. If only you had continued understood that I am the side of the angels, you might still be standing with me here today." Lekain stated as he then transformed into a kaijin that had the body of Redyue with the head of Phoenix.
"What…?" Micaiah gasped.
"I no longer have a need for you, Kamen Rider. I can enact my own will now… so begone…" he smirked wickedly.
Micaiah was silent for a moment before she gathered her resolve, "Your delusions can't change what I see in your twisted soul, monster!"
"Impudent brat!"
"Henshin!" Micaiah yelled as she spun the dusk in her belt and transformed.
Hero stood defensively as Robin and Olivia both attacked him with their blades in a manner similar to a Pair Up combo. Hero turned and glared towards Neo-Hero as the gun-using Rider was simply standing and coordinating the attack that the summoned Riders were doing.
"Tiki-chan, any ideas?" Hero asked.
"Well… I'm gonna go ahead and wager a guess that this… Neo-Hero there… has the Breidablik…" Tiki-chan informed, "But unlike in Fire Emblem Heroes, these aren't the same people. They're just some sort of duplicates created by the gun. Give these duplicates as much of a bashing as you think you can!"
"Ok!" Hero responded in perfect English as he kicked the duplicates back, "I always prefered Robin with Lissa anyway!"
"...as you've mentioned more than once…" Tiki-chan sighed.
Neo-Hero let out a sigh as adjusted the eye-visor atop his head as if they were a pair of goggles. He then slowly took out another card and waited for the right moment…
Micaiah attempted several magic blasts at the kaijin Lekain, but he simply managed to endure most of them, "Masaka…"
"Who knew that being a laguz had so many benefits?" he laughed.
"You're a laguz?"
"I'll admit, I wasn't originally… a friend gave me the power to become one…" Lekain informed as he fired off a magic blast at Micaiah. The female Rider began to block the magic blasts with a barrier, "Give up Branded!"
"I… will not…"
Hero, with a lance in his hand, managed to stab through the duplicates of Kamen Riders Robin and Olivia. He smirked as he easily flung them into the air and then Rider Slashed them with the lance. However, when Hero landed to the ground, he was blind sided by a silver colored Rider. Due to the speed of the Rider, Hero wasn't able to make out any details of who it was. He managed to duck out of the way of any more attacks and hide behind a rock.
"We gotta get going," Tiki-chan told him, "We can deal with this guy later."
"Yea," Hero nodded as Tiki-chan handed him a card, "...wait… a speed up card? ...where was this earlier?!"
"...I made it," Tiki-chan informed, "And I don't know if it'll work…"
Hero looked at the card, seeing that the picture was basically a sort of crayon drawing of Hero moving at a faster speed, before shrugging and loading it in.
=ATTACK RIDE: ...SUPER SPEED!=
Hero then began to run and moved at an incredible speed. Neo-Hero watched as Hero sped away and was about to give chase, but saw that Hero was to far away from him to do anything.
Micaiah was forced out of her Rider form, her tome and disk knocked away from her, and she looked towards the monster before her, "I… won't… let you… win…"
Lekain simply laughed a bit as he approached her, but was tackled down by Hero as he sped in.
"...about time…" Micaiah scoffed a bit.
"So you must be the one who I was warned of…" Lekain commented as he shoved Hero back with a magic blast, "This world needs no Kamen Riders… it just needs me! I've saved this world from its sins and shall rule it sin free!"
Hero attempted to move forward, but the blasts of magic overwhelmed him and forced him to turn back to normal. Micaiah, seeing this, glared at Lekain. Lekain walked over and grabbed Takeshi before flinging him into a wall nearby.
"LEKAIN!" Micaiah yelled as she managed to stand, "You'll pay for everything you've done to this world!"
"So you still decide to fight me?" the Lagus Lekain scoffed, "But what can you do to even try and hurt me?!"
Micaiah's eyes glowed a bright blue as she took out the remains of Sothe's disk before the disk turning into a light blue sphere of magic, and it appeared undamaged.
"...no way…" Takeshi gasped.
"Henshin…" Micaiah declared as she put the disk into her Driver. She then spun it around and transformed into her Rider form, but her Marika-like armor was replaced with Sothe's Zangetsu-Shin lime green armor part and it was now bearing Micaiah's symbol. She charged forward, summoning forth a dagger made out of light blue magic, and began to stab at the lagus Lekain. She then extended it into a spear to strike him even more powerfully.
The Lagus Lekain growled before summoning forth waves of magic energy to try and block Kamen Rider Micaiah's advance towards him. The magic Rider, however, easily dispelled his magic before summoning forth her own magic energy waves to stun the kaijin before summoning back the dagger and, through use of powerful magic, made it grow to the length of Cloud's Buster Sword and slashed the kaijin clean out of the castle.
Micaiah smirked as she jumped out, taking out her normal disk and turning into her default form. She stood ready for another attack before she was joined by Hero, "You ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," he nodded as he took out a card and quickly loaded it in.
=FINAL FORM RIDE: ...MI-MI-MI-MICAIAH!=
"This might sting a bit," Hero warned.
"What does that mean?" she asked.
"Uh… turn around," Hero told her, but she refused to move, "Ugh…"
Hero had to turn her around himself and then made a splitting motion around her back. Her body retracted and adjusted in a manner similar to Kiva when Decade used that Final Form Ride. The arrow itself was similar to the Kiva Arrow, but the center had the circular motion of the belt buckle of the Hibiki Riders, with Micaiah's symbol on it, and orange bird wings instead of bat wings, "Well… she had a bird, guess that makes sense…"
Lekain was then seen falling back down and Hero quickly loaded in the Final Attack Ride Card.
=FINAL ATTACK RIDE: ...MI-MI-MI-MICAIAH!=
He pulled back on the trigger and then fired a magically charged arrow at Lekain, which pierced through his body and killed him upon contact. Hero smiled a bit as Micaiah reverted from the Final Form Ride and turned to face him… before slapping him on the right cheek.
"OW! What was that for?!" Hero demanded to know.
"Touching my bust, you perv!" she responded.
"Wha-? I did not!"
"Yes you did."
"No I didn't!"
"Uh…" Tiki-chan spoke up, "...the area where you hold the arrow when she's in her Final Form Ride form would equate to that area…"
"...it was an accident!" Hero quickly yelled in his defense.
The female Rider gave a roll of her eyes before she simply looked at Hero, "...whatever. Anyway, thanks for your help here. I owe ya. Who are you?"
"Torisugari no Kamen Rider da… oboetoke," he responded before the two Riders reverted to normal and simply smiled at each-other, "See you around."
Micaiah simply waved to him as he headed away and then vanished into the silver mist.
Takeshi and Tiki-chan returned to the mystery room and the bluenette simply stared at the Kamen Ride card for Micaiah.
"You thinking about what she yelled at you or something else?" Tiki-chan checked.
"...something else," he quickly responded.
"Relax, I won't hold that against you, since I know it wasn't intentional…" Tiki-can told him with a soft smile, "So… what's up?"
Before Takeshi could speak, the mystery woman simply stood there for a moment. Takeshi was about to attempt to speak to her, but shrugged it off as she left.
"...fine, leave, 13th Doctor…" he scoffed.
"Huh?" Tiki-chan blinked.
"I know she's a woman and it's like the debut of a character from a TV show back home," Takeshi quickly explained.
"Ah," Tiki-chan nodded, "Neat."
Neo-Hero, having reverted back to a person in a white cloak, returned to the other person in the white cloak and simply stood there for a moment.
*As the instrumentals slowly began, Takeshi stared at the dark room with the inactive portal.*
Embrace the dark you call a home, *Takeshi held out the Hero card and was joined by Tiki-chan.*
Gaze upon an empty, white throne *They looked to the portal, which was inactive and then slowly showed Kamen Rider Micaiah's image*
A legacy of lies, *The two were being watched by something in the shadows*
A familiar disguise *Takeshi turned and then saw the mysterious woman before he was again shoved into the portal.*
Sing with me a song of conquest and fate *Takeshi, now Kamen Rider Hero, was standing in between various worlds and seeing the fractures to all nine of them.*
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight *He could see the nine Riders all facing away from him before they faded as if they weren't even there.*
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone *Hero and Tiki-chan stood in a dark room in confusion before they slowly walked out of it*
Lost in thoughts all alone *The two simply continued forward.*
"Another Rider won't stop this corner from going, in fact… we have our discussion topic!" Tiki-chan cheered as she floated on in, "The Secondary Rider!"
She pulled up a picture of Kamen Rider Ichigou and Kamen Rider Nigou before pulling up other pictures of Riders and their Secondary Rider, but paused at Gaim. She looked between the picture of Gaim and Baron and then Gaim and Ryugen for a minute before shrugging and putting them both up.
"The Secondary Rider only ended up coming into play because of some behind the scenes things. Hiroshi Fujioka, who played Hongo Takeshi/Kamen Rider Ichigou, ended up shattering his leg in a motorcycle stunt gone wrong. ...oh, important to mention he did his own stunts. Last time they let an actor do their own stunts until Gaim, and even then they had a back-up completely ready for any more dangerous stuff," Tiki-chan began as she pulled up a picture of Kamen Rider Marika and showed how the actor who played her was also the suit actor, "Anyway… so, the writers had four choices after the injury. Option 1, get a new actor to play Hongo-san and act as if nothing changed. Option 2, pull a Doctor Who thing… which Takeshi recently explained to me, and give an in-universe reason for a new actor. Option 3, rewrite the series and change the main character and setting. Or Option 4, which is what they went with, continue the same story and just get somebody else to be the main character until Fujioka-san recovered."
She then took out a picture of Takeshi Sasaki, who played Hayato Ichimonji/Kamen Rider Nigou, and then stuck it up, "...anybody else ever find it kinda funny that the Secondary Rider's last name began with the suffix 'Ichi' meaning One?"
Tiki-chan simply giggled a bit before she motioned to the pictures, "Going forward from Agito, the Secondary Rider concept has stuck around and they can debut as late as the twenty episodes and as early as the show's beginning. Certainly interesting to see how things have changed with time."
Tiki-chan then began to float around a little bit as she took out a picture of Hero and Neo-Hero, "Makes you wonder what fate has in store for Hero and Neo-Hero…"
The greenette giggled a tiny bit before turning to the audience, "Well, see you guys back here next time. Hope you guys look forward to seeing more of the newbie."
Jikai, Kamen Rider Hero…
Takeshi: This place is in even worse shape than Micaiah's world…
Tiki-chan: No kidding…
Takeshi: Wait… is that…
?: Rider Slash…
Takeshi: Marth…? Can it really be him…?
Emblem 10: The Ruined Future
Gabutyra roared as the Kyoryugers posed, showing Kyoryuzin Western fighting
Hero: Yattaza! My favorite Kyoryuzin form!
Hero posed with Tiki-chan and Kamen Rider Micaiah before they slashed the screen to show Hero using the Final Form Ride to finish off Lekain.
Torin: Quite the impressive finisher you had on the enemy there… even if you did get slapped after the fact… *Hero could be heard sighing behind him*
All the heroes came together, KyoryuRed and Hero shaking hands before posing
SUPER HERO TIME! SEE YOU NEXT TIME!
So… as far as recent memory goes, this is the first Kamen Rider Hero chapter that finished production before a Debo Sentai Kyoryuger chapter. ...given how the two shows are switching timeslots, that is admittedly kinda funny.
I will comment on one massive point of irritation that came with this chapter. If you couldn't tell, the battle between Micaiah and Lekain was inspired from the battle between Gaim and Redyue in Gaim episode 41 "Clash! The Overlord King". ...that was quite a bit of a hassle. Wanna know why? So, the clip I had to reference on YouTube got taken down due to a copyright strike… so I had to scramble to find the clip or the episode so I could crossreference it. That took at least an hour and a half...
Now we have Neo-Hero in this thing. I'll freely admit to wanting the secondary colors of the Riders to stay in the blue spectrum and cyan was the color I chose. ...albeit, I did second-guess myself about it for one main reason. Neo-Hero is black and cyan… just like a certain jerk (DiEnd) and one of the worst characters in Kamen Rider (Specter). I stuck with the colors and then proceeded to add on some stuff to make him different enough from Hero. He did mention he wanted to have time to customize in Emblem 7.
Now onto his weapon… which is gonna be a bit of a wall of text.
That 'Breidablik' thing is something from Fire Emblem Heroes. It's used to summon the various Fire Emblem characters to the side of the player. Seemed like a natural fit for the DiEnd like Rider of the season. As an aside… that is actually some word. The term comes from Norse mythology, said to be a 'heaven-like realm, where only the purest of souls may reside'. ...kinda hilarious that it's used by somebody antagonistic to our lead character. As for why it looks like the Yo-Blaster from YW3… there's no specified design for the thing apart from it being white and gold… so… creative freedom. ...FYI, the silly Norse myth name will not be its permanent name. I'm still figuring out what I'm gonna call it, but the Norse myth name will not be the name.
So… as mentioned in Debo Kyoryuger, I did ask if you guys would like to see a crossover between that and Kyuuranger… and now I'll be asking a new question. Will you guys want to see a Kamen Rider Hero/Kamen Rider Ex-Aid crossover? As for why Ex-Aid and not Build? ...we know little about Build at the moment and I would prefer to go with the Rider season I know a lot about. Though, if it does happen, it won't be for a while… you'll see what I mean if you guys want it.
The stuff mentioned in the Explanation Corner is indeed factual. I do my homework a bit in advance about this stuff… though, I will say we should probably do more Fire Emblem related things in the Corner soon, since it is mainly Rider stuff. ...will need to discuss ideas with KKD. Oh, and speaking of him… I do apologize now for all the art you'll need to do. Micaiah's alternate form, the kaijin, the Final Form Ride, Neo-Hero and his weapon. ...correct me if I'm wrong, but this world might contain the most amount of art for a while…
That silver Rider we saw will eventually be explained. I wanted to do something surprising, but you'll see who it is soon enough.
About the bit after the Final Form Ride… that came about when I looked at the Kiva Arrow and then mirrored its design. I'll freely admit it just came about from what I decided the Final Form Ride to be. If KKD draws any art in relation to that… up to him.
Random observation I just now noticed while watching a video about the Final Forms of various Riders. The Tire Kazimazeru side of the Shift Tridoron Car looks like the Target Logo. ...it does. ...man I notice stupid stuff sometimes.
Uh… let's just go ahead and wrap this up already.
Just Live More.
...also, do you guys think it was an intended joke that Hayato's last name starts with 'ichi' or just stupid coincidence?
...oh! And the 13th Doctor reveal clip was interesting. I just happened to notice that the cloak she wore was like the cloak that the mystery woman has. ...I'm curious to see how they'll handle a female doctor. ...not a Doctor Who fan, just making my own observation.
...and end off for real now guys.
Just Live M-*looks at something* ...SPLATOON ANIME! WOHOO! ...uh… sorry guys. Just now learned that and am excited. ...Just live More.
