Last time I did the post I got my thoughts with my idea on a sequel rider series from Myth to Legend and repeating the war motif, but with modern war aspects with Military. Now I dive into where the Legend powers are far more diverse from each other, but in the end they still share connections.
Kamen Rider Drift
Military was a mechanical rider and to continue in that aspect I thought of a racing rider called Drift. Being heavily inspired by Accel and for reference I thought of this name before Drive, but Drive did help me finalize some of the ideas. One of the big ones was the aspect of having three riders in this one well four counting the villain rider. A big thing with Accel and Drive is that were inspired by motorcycles and cars. Originally I was thinking about having him being a skate racer similar to how Air Gear had, but I decided to stick to vehicles since it was easier to work with. Drift gets his name from his turning abilities which can also help his fighting abilities. When he gets at the right speeds and does a quick turn or a drift, he can throw his arms and legs in slice like motions and be able to cut with that ability. Now in the beginning he does not discover this strength as the beginning of his story is simply racing with other competitors which is where Carranger helped me out. There will be some absurd racers Drift will have to face as I am trying to focus on a comedic aspect with this idea. Now there will still be a big bad, but just like how Carranger had bikers be the villains the same is for Drift and they simply love the high speeds and while they have their fun it causes destruction.
Kamen Rider Motor, Throttle, Rebel
I am getting to the secondary riders first before getting into other forms because the riders in this idea of mine have an interesting ability of form changing or switching to be more accurate. Kamen Rider Motor is a hot shot racer, but sadly his win streak was struck down and has been having trouble keeping up. What actually happened is that the bikers actually sabotaged one of the races he was in and when he discovers the truth he equips his racing suit with aggressive abilities. The Motor Gear can make him jump higher than any normal racer and with that ability he focuses on his kicks. His favorite move is the spin cycle where he spins vertically and keeps kicking his foes. Throttle is actually an ex-wrestler trying to expand his career and while Drift and Motor were racers, their suits still have combat abilities. Well with Throttle his suit is already ready for combat from his wrestling days. Throttle may not be the fastest racer, but if he catches up to his foes he can cause them to fall back. He loves to throw his foes around and with the Throttle engine he can enhance his throws and even increase his overall power, let's say he gives on hell of a hug. Rebel is then the leader of the biker gang and of course his inspiration is of course the big and flashy motorcycles. Rebel is a mess of a racer, but within that mess he holds a mixture of abilities. He can use the Drift, Motor, and Throttle abilities, but not to the extent of the original users. Rebel is simply a madman and loves what he does.
Turbo, Jet, Engine, and Lightspeed
These are the four forms that the three hero riders can access as they can freely switch different types of gears. Drift is the owner of the Turbo Gear as it simply gives him a speed boost, but with that speed boost he can even slice with more power than ever. Motor owns the Jet Gear which gives him the ability of flight for limited times and with his ability to exceed normal jumping heights he can now stay afloat as well. Throttle keeps the Engine Gear which gives him a heat ability. When he holds onto his foes he can start this heating process where his foes' armor can easily melt. Now with the switches each rider can use these Gears in different ways. Drift with the Jet Gear gives him flight and can still use his fast speed in the air. Drift with the Engine gives his Drift ability the heating advantage which slices through armor with ease. Jet with the Turbo Gear makes his kicks move faster than the human eye. Jet with Engine gives him fire feet, so essentially Ken from Street Fighter. Throttle with Turbo does help his speed issue and now he can catch up to foes or simply ram them at violent speeds. Then with Jet, let us say he loves to crash onto his foes from above. Then the Lightspeed Gear is when all three are used together and yes all three riders can use them, hell technically Rebel can do the same, but he never gets the chance. Lightspeed is essentially is all abilities in one form then with the three riders it is simply execution to make it different from each other. Drift with drifting, Motor with flight and kicks, and Throttle with ramming and slamming.
Kamen Rider Magi
A recent watch I had was the anime Orphen which was a childhood show I never finished, but for some reason it had my favorite use of magic yet it was a simple use. I personally liked the spells the show had and Magi is a mixture of other magic entertainment. Magi himself uses a wand as his main weapon and can cause many different spells with it. He can even change his wand to different weapons, like a magic sword, hammer, and arrows. His favorite spell to use is sealing magic where he can trap his foes and finish them off in anyway he sees fit. His final form is the Sorcerer where he gains access to a staff that amplifies his powers. This causes his magic weapons to have a massive change of size and use. The sword becomes a set of twin swords, the hammer changes to larger hammer, and then the arrows change into magical meteors! His overall story is in a school setting, but let us say the one in charge is trying to find something special and will not be afraid of sacrifices to gain the next step of magic.
Kamen Rider Witch, Trickster, Diana, Arms, Warlock, and Ouroboros
A big aspect of Magi is that his secondary rider is right on the same path as him so the show has two main characters. Witch does come from the lack of a witch from Wizard. Witch has access to a broom weapon where she can fly around with ease and from there she specializes in projectile magic. When she gains the use of the Sorcerer form she can gains access to shield magic that also combines with projectile magic as one of her most powerful spells is a counter spell. Trickster is based on the stage magician and he is someone who left the school because he found out what was happening. He decided to make his own system which can use street magic to fighting capabilities. He organizes his cards into a sword, can throw them with piercing strength, and whenever he drops the curtains he can perform many illusions behind them. Diana is a simple assistant that wields two blunt weapons, but with her help Trickster's true strength is realized. The two perform tricks together and whenever the belt is activated it can perform a trick. This includes initiating a knife trick, summoning the curtain, or even something like a deadly bullet trick. This is personally one of my favorite ideas because of how fun it was to think of what the finishing attacks would be. For how these two progress the original Trickster does fall in battle and Diana follows his footsteps and as for assistance, she got Mage and Witch to help during this time. Arms is heavily inspired by my favorite Blazblue character, Makoto. Arms is a young boy with weak magic, but while studying equip magic with a fellow friend of his, they create a system where he can amplify his physical strength. He equips two tonfas on his arms to perform his magic where he can summon magic fists and there is a gauge for how much to amplify. Arms gets one from called Unleashed because in reality, even though he has a small amount of magic, it is still some of the strongest around. Arms just cannot find a way to tap that magic by himself, but by learning of his magic's origins, he breaks the limits to get to this form, but this was a one done deal until he creates his weapons again or finds a way to tap into his magic.
Warlock is the main villain and the story of this rider is that it is a homunculus. Made by the founder of the school, the homunculus is made to find the strongest magic and it can only be activated when the founder dies. Warlock continues what the founder could not complete, but it takes the work too far and will perform deadly experiments to get what it needs. Warlock also takes this a bit too far by wanting to make the strongest magic, the only magic. Warlock is pretty much the reason why Mage and Witch achieve their final forms and starts to question the state of magic itself with the discovery of Arms' magic. He completely ignores both Mage and Witch, but the power of two or even three can surpass the magic power of just one. Ouroboros is the other villain of the show and is inspired by another Blazblue character, Hazama and Yuuki Terumi. This is a man who knew about the founder's intentions of finding the strongest magic and helps Warlock to achieve that dream. He mostly stays close until he finds how to complete his powers though. The Ouroboros is seen as a symbol of infinity and by finding the true origins of the beast he can unlock his true power. Ouroboros gains the Cycle form where he can never lose any magic and he can even summon the creature itself to use in battle.
Now these two still share connections with the Legend powers as the Drive riders show how the powers can work for others. Even if it is one type of power, it can bend and change with different users. Magi's connection is the true potential magic with all the different forms of it. Truly the powers of legend can change by the hands of others. Then the next riders will include the power of dreams, the stage, and the unknown.

Kamen Rider Ideas Part Three
I'm simply just bored again so I'm going to cover all of the secondary riders that my first ten main riders have.
Kamen Rider Inferno, Gale, Zero, and Tremor
These four riders come from Disaster and at first these guys don't become riders till the middle half. Originally there is the villain named Storm, but when the true god comes forth and gets rid of him he gives three of these riders human bodies and then can use their powers like the main rider does. So the four are villain riders and one changes side when the second villans comes into place. Tremor experiences a change of his powers when he tries to fight the god and his former friends with their new powers. All of these riders have a single element as Inferno is fire, Gale is wind, Zero is ice, and Tremor is earth. Inferno uses an axe and a bow for his main weapons. Gale has a staff, Zero uses hidden weapons like knives and shurikens, then Tremor has a great sword. This then connects to Disaster because he has a similar ability with his form changes to these four other riders. Also for the first villain I did think of making him a rider and calling him Kamen Rider Storm, but for story purposes I didn't have him be one. The same goes for the god known as Disaster, I was thinking of calling him Kamen Rider Calamity. Pretty the main deal with most of the powers in Disaster's world is that they are shared powers because the main story deals with a race of beings.
Kamen Rider Heaven, Aybss, and Kamen Rider Hellfire
These three appear along with Kamen Rider Satan and I want to do a story like Kiva, but actually get things right. Heaven is like IXA, a rider that has to fight with the opposing side. The problem with Kiva it was not well represented well. With Satan and Heaven there is an obvious reason why they fight each other. Heaven follows the words of the angels and Kamen Rider Satan is their number one threat. He is sadly played as a puppet when he appears. At first I thought of the generic bow and arrow concept, but I changed it for something else. I was thinking about Monks in RPG's and they use their fists! So I changed Heaven into the Heavenly Boxer where the arrows are his fist. Heaven also gains a final form called Gateway just like Satan, but it increases the speed and power of his punches and he can materialize energy arrows from his fist. Kamen Rider Aybss is a dark magic rider that uses a magic staff. He originally worked with Hell itself, but escaped and became a wanderer trying to find peace with himself. Kamen Rider Hellfire is then a final villain who appears as he is a stronger version of the main rider's default form. Hellfire's story is that he was a last minute resource to stop the main hero from suceeding as his character was originally a wandering zombie kind of being that got loose from Hell.
Kamen Rider Stardust, Kamen Rider Comet, and Kamen Rider Blackhole
In Kamen Rider Cosmos there are three other riders as the first two are allies and then the last one is a main villain. I will talk about Blackhole first then. He is a leader of bandits that had battles with the Cosmos kingdom before and he tries to attack once more with a new plan. He attacks the king and when he kills him, he takes his sword and powers. With him though the powers change into dark energy to better fit his dark matter powers. Also the sword he takes will soon go to Kamen Rider Cosmos when he achieve his final form. When Blackhole uses the sword he can cut the matter around him to make tiny blackholes where he can suck people in and make them pop out where he wants them to. Originally Kamen Rider Stardust was one of the royal guards for the king, but due to the recent attack he is forced to leave and before he dies, he sends his gun (transformation device) off to the Earth hoping that someone can help the prince. A police officer who wants to help the Cosmos empire ends up finding the gun and learning of the attack through a message from the device. Stardust gains a final form where he can use wires to trap enemies and this is called Constellation form. He can shoot in patterns that represent the different constellations. Kamen Rider Comet is a different race from space that went berserk before the Dark Matter Bandits attacks the kingdom, where the king had to seal him into a passing comet. Blackhole uses this comet and breaks the man free as he goes berserk on Earth. Cosmos helps him gain his sanity back as he remembers the king saving his life because he could have been easily executed for what he did in his past. Comet is a strong brawler type and his final form is called White Comet where he gains higher speed and a bit of fire element.
Kamen Rider Wave and Kamen Rider Absorb
In Kamen Rider Infinite, the main hero helps people that are being killed by strange natural creatures being created by Absorb. Their aims are to steal elemental powers from the people and to make Absorb more powerful so that he can get his human body back. Absorb has a natural look to him along with a bit of mutation as well. His main weapon which is a club, is attached to his body. The club can even change into a claw like weapon. He can also change natural enviroments into what he thinks of. He even finds a way to use people to make monsters by combining them with nature. Kamen Rider Wave is then one of the people that Infinite saves and through long training and mediation, he can summon his elemental powers. He is a water rider that can freely use water for attacks and many other purposes. He can take water from many resources and use them to make slashing attacks with his punches and kicks. The rider can even use water for transportation uses.
Kamen Rider Jewel and Kamen Rider Construction
With Kamen Rider Totem, his story takes place before Infinite's as his villain is Absorb before his sudden change of appearance. Kamen Rider Construction was a man who used alchemy and machinery to improve his city, but at the same time he was forcing it to change. Through alchemy he can create homunculus to do his bidding. He even goes as far to use citizens in these experiments to make stronger ones. He created his own rider armor to defend himself as I took idea from Birth for his weapons. He has a drill, crane, wires, and to change it up a wrecking ball to fight. Kamen Rider Jewel is similar to Totem and Infinited as he gets his powers from the spirits of the Earth as well. Also Jewel will appear in Infinite's story. Jewel worked alongside Totem to take down Construction. Jewel is based on many different crystals like Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, etc. Jewel will have the same amount of forms as Totem as they are the four as mentioned before. Ruby creates a shining effect where he can use solar powers. Sapphire makes his body bigger and stronger. Emerald increases his defenses. Then Diamond is his final form which comes with all previous powers.
Kamen Rider Bullet, Pride, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, Sloth, and Dealer
Kamen Rider Greed faces off many foes and at the top of the ranks there are people with belts similar to his. I got this idea when Gaim introduced the Genesis Riders and wanted a force of strong riders for when he gets at the top ten. Dealer originally called himself the new Greed since Greed left the ranked battles. This is how Greed gets his final form from battling this rider. So Dealer has similar powers to Greed's final form. Then the secondary rider is Kamen Rider Bullet who is a mysterious man who wants to get rid of the ranked battles. He always appear in his armor for he is keeping his identity a secret for some reason. Bullet uses a gaunlet weapon where he can perform many attacks with it. It has boosters on it, can actually shoot shotgun rounds, but it's range is not long at all. Bullet has a second gaunlet that can summon the Double form, but it hurts his body everytime he uses it. Kamen Rider Pride is a rider that uses pride as a power. He makes compeitions in his fights and the more he suceeds the more powerful he becomes. His main weapon is a great sword similar to Tremor. Later on, Pride ends up becoming Bullet later on and even combines both systems together to make Prideful Bullet. Wrath is the main villain he is only power is rage. He uses his anger is increase his strength and that it is, he has no weapons, he is an improve fighter that depends on strength alone, but that got him to be number one. Lust uses her desire of love as her strength and she used to be with Greed and Wrath before the story of now so when both are back her powers become much stronger since she sees herself in a struggle and picking which one. She is a fast fighter that depends on her small swords and knives to rack up damage. Gluttony's power makes him a glutton for punishment as he can take damage and redirect it back. Sloth uses his sleep like state as his power where he can make people enter his dreams where he can do whatever he wants. Think of it like the strange dimensions that Metal Hero series loved to use. He has two large claws as his weapon of choice and when someone breaks his sleep state, he goes berserk.
Kamen Rider Data, Virus, Security, Plague, Worm, and Scan
Kamen Rider Circuit deals with computer motifs so many of the other riders will as well. His three allies are Data, Virus, and Security. Data is a dual gun wielding executioner that can combine his guns into one shot gun, think Deka Red pretty much. He gains a final form called Ram where he gets a crossbow weapon and can send energy arrows out and change the rate of fire and the speed. Virus is a sword wielding rider that can use viruses as poison type attacks. His sword is large, but works like a rapier mostly because his style works well with stabbing. Virus gains the Shut Down form which creates a near instant kill attack for him when used properly. Security was originally used by another squad leader, but after being killed the boss of Circuit and the other two takes charge and becomes Security. Security relies on reflective barriers as his main weapon. He can summon then from his hands and can deflect projectiles and can even trap people inside of them. Plague is an out of control villain rider that has a rivalry with Circuit. Both are fast and while Circuit relies on storing energy, Plague focuses on taking energy. He can change his arms into two sharp blades and if he gets direct contact with someone he can take energy from their bodies. Worm is an assassin rider with one trusty sword. He has similar powers to Virus where he can use poision like attacks. Unlike Virus though, his poison cannot kill as it only stuns of weakens his foes. Worm gains the Infected form which gives him more power if he is further infected with a special type of virus. Scan is a rider that uses scanning to his advantage, he usually will stay far away from his foes and point out weakpoints to get the upperhand.
Kamen Rider S.W.A.T and Kamen Rider Berandal
With Kamen Rider Hunter we got a purely good rider and a purely evil rider. Since Hunter starts out more like an anti-hero he has two opposing forces that he has to fight. S.W.A.T is pretty much my version of G3-X. It is heavily police inspired and can be armed to the top with weapons. His standard weapons would be a stun baton and a powerful rifle. Later on he gains better weapons like stronger gauntlets since in the beginning hand to hand combat was not the suit's strongest area. He even gains a tazer like weapon that can reach muh longer than a usual one. Later on he gains the Riot form which gives him two shields on his arms that he can use for both offensive and defensive options. The defense is quite obvious since they are shields, when the two form together they make a much stronger version of the shield. When separated they can still deflect attacks depending on how strong they are. The offensive side of it comes to when they are separated as well since they act like side blades and even if the shield is together as one, it can be used as a great shoving tool. Berandal is literally a thug where his main thing is fighting like a thug. He relies on one weapon, his long knife and relies on his overall power. He focuses on completely destroying his foes as his style of fighting is brutal and would handicap many who fight him.
Kamen Rider V2
With Kamen Rider Prototype most of the people he fights are people aiming to make the completed version of the suit. V2 is a near perfect recreation of Prototype with many improved functions. The big difference is that no man uses the suit, but the suit itself is a robot. For a majority of his appearances he is known as Proto-2 by his creator. V2 gains his own identity and learns about his own independence by the end of the story. Originally though he was made to fight Prototype and destroy the original production of the suit. V2 has the same charging gimmick as Prototype, but V2 focuses on dual weapons. He can equally spread his charges to mutiple weapons at the same time. When V2 gains his new name he also can use the Upgrade form just like Prototype and with his dual weapons makes the form more terrifying than Protoype's version of the final form.
Kamen Rider Realm and Kamen Rider Creator
With Gatekeeper there is other traveler he must worry about and that is Creator. Originally he does not start out as a rider and is just this slime like creatue. He calls himself Creation at this point, but the more he fights with Gatekeeper he starts to get a power he originally lost. Creator is even a big cause of a majority of the supernatural in the many worlds that Gatekeeper travels to since a freak accident happened with the Gatekeeper system, the same accident that destroyed Gatekeeper's world. When he becomes the Creator, he can freely create certains types of things since like Gatekeeper he is connected to the powers of the other worlds. Overall then he was originally another Gatekeeper so when he gains his rider form it is a dark version of Gatekeeper with the gate motif looking rusty and broken along with a broken key blade. Realm can be a traveling rider as well, but for the most part there is one Realm in every world. They defend their worlds from outside powers as some can be good, bad, or neutral. With the outsurge of Gatekeeper then, some go right after him to kill him and end things while others try to help him because of the Gatekeeper system itself. There will be one Realm that gets the main focus and he even fights other Realms, but what makes him stand out is that he gets two versions of his transformation device which is a gaunlet that can use summoning keys. With two together though he becomes the Traveler which is the final form as his powers are increased and can summon up to six riders, originally he could only summon three at a time.
So those are all the riders from the first ten ideas I have thought of. Later on things get more interesting after Gatekeeper as rider powers become worldly bounded unlike most of the previous riders that had completely different powers in comparison to the other worlds.
Kamen Rider Inferno, Gale, Zero, and Tremor
These four riders come from Disaster and at first these guys don't become riders till the middle half. Originally there is the villain named Storm, but when the true god comes forth and gets rid of him he gives three of these riders human bodies and then can use their powers like the main rider does. So the four are villain riders and one changes side when the second villans comes into place. Tremor experiences a change of his powers when he tries to fight the god and his former friends with their new powers. All of these riders have a single element as Inferno is fire, Gale is wind, Zero is ice, and Tremor is earth. Inferno uses an axe and a bow for his main weapons. Gale has a staff, Zero uses hidden weapons like knives and shurikens, then Tremor has a great sword. This then connects to Disaster because he has a similar ability with his form changes to these four other riders. Also for the first villain I did think of making him a rider and calling him Kamen Rider Storm, but for story purposes I didn't have him be one. The same goes for the god known as Disaster, I was thinking of calling him Kamen Rider Calamity. Pretty the main deal with most of the powers in Disaster's world is that they are shared powers because the main story deals with a race of beings.
Kamen Rider Heaven, Aybss, and Kamen Rider Hellfire
These three appear along with Kamen Rider Satan and I want to do a story like Kiva, but actually get things right. Heaven is like IXA, a rider that has to fight with the opposing side. The problem with Kiva it was not well represented well. With Satan and Heaven there is an obvious reason why they fight each other. Heaven follows the words of the angels and Kamen Rider Satan is their number one threat. He is sadly played as a puppet when he appears. At first I thought of the generic bow and arrow concept, but I changed it for something else. I was thinking about Monks in RPG's and they use their fists! So I changed Heaven into the Heavenly Boxer where the arrows are his fist. Heaven also gains a final form called Gateway just like Satan, but it increases the speed and power of his punches and he can materialize energy arrows from his fist. Kamen Rider Aybss is a dark magic rider that uses a magic staff. He originally worked with Hell itself, but escaped and became a wanderer trying to find peace with himself. Kamen Rider Hellfire is then a final villain who appears as he is a stronger version of the main rider's default form. Hellfire's story is that he was a last minute resource to stop the main hero from suceeding as his character was originally a wandering zombie kind of being that got loose from Hell.
Kamen Rider Stardust, Kamen Rider Comet, and Kamen Rider Blackhole
In Kamen Rider Cosmos there are three other riders as the first two are allies and then the last one is a main villain. I will talk about Blackhole first then. He is a leader of bandits that had battles with the Cosmos kingdom before and he tries to attack once more with a new plan. He attacks the king and when he kills him, he takes his sword and powers. With him though the powers change into dark energy to better fit his dark matter powers. Also the sword he takes will soon go to Kamen Rider Cosmos when he achieve his final form. When Blackhole uses the sword he can cut the matter around him to make tiny blackholes where he can suck people in and make them pop out where he wants them to. Originally Kamen Rider Stardust was one of the royal guards for the king, but due to the recent attack he is forced to leave and before he dies, he sends his gun (transformation device) off to the Earth hoping that someone can help the prince. A police officer who wants to help the Cosmos empire ends up finding the gun and learning of the attack through a message from the device. Stardust gains a final form where he can use wires to trap enemies and this is called Constellation form. He can shoot in patterns that represent the different constellations. Kamen Rider Comet is a different race from space that went berserk before the Dark Matter Bandits attacks the kingdom, where the king had to seal him into a passing comet. Blackhole uses this comet and breaks the man free as he goes berserk on Earth. Cosmos helps him gain his sanity back as he remembers the king saving his life because he could have been easily executed for what he did in his past. Comet is a strong brawler type and his final form is called White Comet where he gains higher speed and a bit of fire element.
Kamen Rider Wave and Kamen Rider Absorb
In Kamen Rider Infinite, the main hero helps people that are being killed by strange natural creatures being created by Absorb. Their aims are to steal elemental powers from the people and to make Absorb more powerful so that he can get his human body back. Absorb has a natural look to him along with a bit of mutation as well. His main weapon which is a club, is attached to his body. The club can even change into a claw like weapon. He can also change natural enviroments into what he thinks of. He even finds a way to use people to make monsters by combining them with nature. Kamen Rider Wave is then one of the people that Infinite saves and through long training and mediation, he can summon his elemental powers. He is a water rider that can freely use water for attacks and many other purposes. He can take water from many resources and use them to make slashing attacks with his punches and kicks. The rider can even use water for transportation uses.
Kamen Rider Jewel and Kamen Rider Construction
With Kamen Rider Totem, his story takes place before Infinite's as his villain is Absorb before his sudden change of appearance. Kamen Rider Construction was a man who used alchemy and machinery to improve his city, but at the same time he was forcing it to change. Through alchemy he can create homunculus to do his bidding. He even goes as far to use citizens in these experiments to make stronger ones. He created his own rider armor to defend himself as I took idea from Birth for his weapons. He has a drill, crane, wires, and to change it up a wrecking ball to fight. Kamen Rider Jewel is similar to Totem and Infinited as he gets his powers from the spirits of the Earth as well. Also Jewel will appear in Infinite's story. Jewel worked alongside Totem to take down Construction. Jewel is based on many different crystals like Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, etc. Jewel will have the same amount of forms as Totem as they are the four as mentioned before. Ruby creates a shining effect where he can use solar powers. Sapphire makes his body bigger and stronger. Emerald increases his defenses. Then Diamond is his final form which comes with all previous powers.
Kamen Rider Bullet, Pride, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, Sloth, and Dealer
Kamen Rider Greed faces off many foes and at the top of the ranks there are people with belts similar to his. I got this idea when Gaim introduced the Genesis Riders and wanted a force of strong riders for when he gets at the top ten. Dealer originally called himself the new Greed since Greed left the ranked battles. This is how Greed gets his final form from battling this rider. So Dealer has similar powers to Greed's final form. Then the secondary rider is Kamen Rider Bullet who is a mysterious man who wants to get rid of the ranked battles. He always appear in his armor for he is keeping his identity a secret for some reason. Bullet uses a gaunlet weapon where he can perform many attacks with it. It has boosters on it, can actually shoot shotgun rounds, but it's range is not long at all. Bullet has a second gaunlet that can summon the Double form, but it hurts his body everytime he uses it. Kamen Rider Pride is a rider that uses pride as a power. He makes compeitions in his fights and the more he suceeds the more powerful he becomes. His main weapon is a great sword similar to Tremor. Later on, Pride ends up becoming Bullet later on and even combines both systems together to make Prideful Bullet. Wrath is the main villain he is only power is rage. He uses his anger is increase his strength and that it is, he has no weapons, he is an improve fighter that depends on strength alone, but that got him to be number one. Lust uses her desire of love as her strength and she used to be with Greed and Wrath before the story of now so when both are back her powers become much stronger since she sees herself in a struggle and picking which one. She is a fast fighter that depends on her small swords and knives to rack up damage. Gluttony's power makes him a glutton for punishment as he can take damage and redirect it back. Sloth uses his sleep like state as his power where he can make people enter his dreams where he can do whatever he wants. Think of it like the strange dimensions that Metal Hero series loved to use. He has two large claws as his weapon of choice and when someone breaks his sleep state, he goes berserk.
Kamen Rider Data, Virus, Security, Plague, Worm, and Scan
Kamen Rider Circuit deals with computer motifs so many of the other riders will as well. His three allies are Data, Virus, and Security. Data is a dual gun wielding executioner that can combine his guns into one shot gun, think Deka Red pretty much. He gains a final form called Ram where he gets a crossbow weapon and can send energy arrows out and change the rate of fire and the speed. Virus is a sword wielding rider that can use viruses as poison type attacks. His sword is large, but works like a rapier mostly because his style works well with stabbing. Virus gains the Shut Down form which creates a near instant kill attack for him when used properly. Security was originally used by another squad leader, but after being killed the boss of Circuit and the other two takes charge and becomes Security. Security relies on reflective barriers as his main weapon. He can summon then from his hands and can deflect projectiles and can even trap people inside of them. Plague is an out of control villain rider that has a rivalry with Circuit. Both are fast and while Circuit relies on storing energy, Plague focuses on taking energy. He can change his arms into two sharp blades and if he gets direct contact with someone he can take energy from their bodies. Worm is an assassin rider with one trusty sword. He has similar powers to Virus where he can use poision like attacks. Unlike Virus though, his poison cannot kill as it only stuns of weakens his foes. Worm gains the Infected form which gives him more power if he is further infected with a special type of virus. Scan is a rider that uses scanning to his advantage, he usually will stay far away from his foes and point out weakpoints to get the upperhand.
Kamen Rider S.W.A.T and Kamen Rider Berandal
With Kamen Rider Hunter we got a purely good rider and a purely evil rider. Since Hunter starts out more like an anti-hero he has two opposing forces that he has to fight. S.W.A.T is pretty much my version of G3-X. It is heavily police inspired and can be armed to the top with weapons. His standard weapons would be a stun baton and a powerful rifle. Later on he gains better weapons like stronger gauntlets since in the beginning hand to hand combat was not the suit's strongest area. He even gains a tazer like weapon that can reach muh longer than a usual one. Later on he gains the Riot form which gives him two shields on his arms that he can use for both offensive and defensive options. The defense is quite obvious since they are shields, when the two form together they make a much stronger version of the shield. When separated they can still deflect attacks depending on how strong they are. The offensive side of it comes to when they are separated as well since they act like side blades and even if the shield is together as one, it can be used as a great shoving tool. Berandal is literally a thug where his main thing is fighting like a thug. He relies on one weapon, his long knife and relies on his overall power. He focuses on completely destroying his foes as his style of fighting is brutal and would handicap many who fight him.
Kamen Rider V2
With Kamen Rider Prototype most of the people he fights are people aiming to make the completed version of the suit. V2 is a near perfect recreation of Prototype with many improved functions. The big difference is that no man uses the suit, but the suit itself is a robot. For a majority of his appearances he is known as Proto-2 by his creator. V2 gains his own identity and learns about his own independence by the end of the story. Originally though he was made to fight Prototype and destroy the original production of the suit. V2 has the same charging gimmick as Prototype, but V2 focuses on dual weapons. He can equally spread his charges to mutiple weapons at the same time. When V2 gains his new name he also can use the Upgrade form just like Prototype and with his dual weapons makes the form more terrifying than Protoype's version of the final form.
Kamen Rider Realm and Kamen Rider Creator
With Gatekeeper there is other traveler he must worry about and that is Creator. Originally he does not start out as a rider and is just this slime like creatue. He calls himself Creation at this point, but the more he fights with Gatekeeper he starts to get a power he originally lost. Creator is even a big cause of a majority of the supernatural in the many worlds that Gatekeeper travels to since a freak accident happened with the Gatekeeper system, the same accident that destroyed Gatekeeper's world. When he becomes the Creator, he can freely create certains types of things since like Gatekeeper he is connected to the powers of the other worlds. Overall then he was originally another Gatekeeper so when he gains his rider form it is a dark version of Gatekeeper with the gate motif looking rusty and broken along with a broken key blade. Realm can be a traveling rider as well, but for the most part there is one Realm in every world. They defend their worlds from outside powers as some can be good, bad, or neutral. With the outsurge of Gatekeeper then, some go right after him to kill him and end things while others try to help him because of the Gatekeeper system itself. There will be one Realm that gets the main focus and he even fights other Realms, but what makes him stand out is that he gets two versions of his transformation device which is a gaunlet that can use summoning keys. With two together though he becomes the Traveler which is the final form as his powers are increased and can summon up to six riders, originally he could only summon three at a time.
So those are all the riders from the first ten ideas I have thought of. Later on things get more interesting after Gatekeeper as rider powers become worldly bounded unlike most of the previous riders that had completely different powers in comparison to the other worlds.

Kamen Rider Ideas Part Two
I'm bored again so why not have more random ideas from my head. That's the intro so let's move on!
Kamen Rider Greed
For those who do not know one of my favorite things of just ever is the No More Heroes franchise. So of course I wanted the idea of ranked battles in Kamen Rider and done properly, I'm looking at you Ryuki! Still the major thing about Greed is that he works with the concept of the sin greed. His default form can make weapons out of different types of coins and I am sticking with American currency because they sound better in my head. His weapons would be, the Penny Darts, Nickel Sword, Dime Guns, Quarter Disc, and Half Dollar Shield. With Greed then he can only summon a limited amount of these weapons which is why the Penny Darts can actually be more useful than the Dime Guns because there can be more darts than the dime bullets. Later on he gets the Silver, Gold, and Platinum forms which are based on credit cards and the higher he goes the more power he is and the more he can summon. The final form is called Dealer where he can gamble his powers to the extreme, but all of his attacks have changed. There are the cards he can deal and if he gets a blackjack, it causes an explosion where they make an impact. The Slot Wheels are three wheels he can summon that can be aggresive weapons on their own, but when they land there are different attacks with them. Cherry Bombs, Jewel Laser, Bell Counter, and Lucky Sevens. The first two are strong attacks like the Cherry Bombs are a near end barrage of bombs, Jewel Laser is a small yet powerful laser that can pierce nearly anything. Then comes the Bell Counter and when summon hits him it causes a loud vibration that disrupts the foe's ears. Finally the Lucky Sevens give him the strongest attack boost for a short amount of time. There is even the Chip Sword where different colors can change the swords abilities. Green is weak, but fast. Red comes with fire projectiles, Blue is the default form of the sword, White is the most powerful and the heaviest.
Kamen Rider Circuit
This idea came to my head from when I thought of my Megaman stories and some of my favorite ones come from the Battle Network series. I always loved creating new net navi's, but the idea of Circuit is that we have the digitized world. This time it is more experimental, but criminals have found ways to use it for evil purposes. This leads to a new division of police being invented where they terminate major threats in the virtual world. Circuit is a close combat fighter and is the fastest of my riders. His whole gimmick is based on computers as he is based on circuitry. He is a fast puncher that can constantly keep barraging foes with his fist. He gets an upgrade form called where his speed is increased. Then comes the Download form where he can store enegry for a certain amount of time and during this he can release attacks and release that energy. If he keeps it in for a long amount of time he gets the Download Complete form as his speed in on par with the Ram form, but his power is heavily increased, but he can use it for a limited time (similar to Faiz's Axel form). His final form is called the Master form which is a perfected body that can control the virtual world and his speed is at lightspeed levels. Also by the way the riders in Circuit's world can fight outside of the virtual world as well.
Kamen Rider Hunter
This is pretty much plan B of Greed because Hunter is a bounty hunter and his whole scheme is based on the different type of hunters. His default form has a western design to it where he wield his single pistol. He carries special types of bullets with his gun as these bullets are Spread (similar to Luna Trigger's finisher), Double (causes another hit along with the impact), Burst (Single file giant blast), Curve (Hunter can control when the bullets move), and the Deadshot which can only be used at a further point. Also he can pull out a small dagger out of the pistol. Each form Hunter gets comes with a different type of weapon like the shotgun which represents Poachers, by the way the form is called Poacher. With this gun he can use two bullets at the same time causing different effects. Like the Spread Curve combination is exactly like Luna Trigger's finisher. Then this form comes with a machete like weapon. His final form will be the Deadeye form which gives him his sniper rifle where he can use three bullets and this gun can take the power of tripling the same power while the shotgun cannot do this with two of the same bullets. This is then where the Deadshot bullet comes in as it counts as three bullets and can kill nearly anyone in one shot.
Kamen Rider Prototype
Prototype has a large similarity to the original Kamen Rider where he is part Cyborg because of the main hero was forced to implant his invention to his body to save it. The suit is a prototype in creating a powersuit that can be used for mutiple purposes, a similarlity to Super-1 as well. Prototype is a legit prototype though which is his main disadvantage. The hero keeps creating weapons to improve his powers, but on the default he can only use his fist and kicks. The invention is a charger that can be moved to different parts of the body which causes charging. There he can release powerful blows if the charger is set to that body part. He cannot do this in high repetition though as the charge loses it powers. The first invention he makes for his suit is the Charge Sword and the Charge Blaster where he can extend the charging powers to weapons and release Burst Slashes or Burst Blasts. Another invention is a small unlimiter that can cause his Charge weapons to constantly release mutiple bursts attack with no decrease of power. He even makes guantlets and boots that can do the same thing, but for his physical attacks. The final form is the Upgrade form and it is the upgrade form where Prototype does not have to move the charger anymore to release powerful attacks.
Kamen Rider Gatekeeper
With the failure of Kamen Rider Decade I created my own traveling rider and I took some ideas from Kingdom Hearts for the key motif for this rider. He uses keys to unlock new powers and before anyone says anything I thought of this idea before Gokaiger. His default form is a closed gate with chains around and such with a grey and silver color scheme. Now Gatekeeper does not transform into any riders, he can only use their powers, but this makes it possible for Gatekeeper to put his personal touches with these powers. His main weapon is a keyblade, but much larger compared to the original one. This is my personal favorite idea because of how I thought about the worlds he goes to and how they work. All previous riders are their own respective world/universe. There he has to discover their powers to move onto the next world as he is aiming to redem what he did to his own world. His final form is the Unlocked form where he gets two keyblades and can use the final form powers of the riders. The design changes to the gate being unlocked as those parts are on the side of his body. The middle has a pure white color revealing the light of unlocking the gate. He still has some default powers like how Decade has Slash and Blast, Gatekeeper has Stab and Burst. His main finishing move is stabbing his sword into his foe and unlocking their soul.
I still got other main riders to list down, but in part three I will cover secondary riders to these ten main ones.

Kamen Rider Ideas Part One
I have been talking with my friends here and there about Kamen Rider and sometimes we get to the discussion of our own ideas. Ever since I was a child I have been creating characters, my brother and I would make our own stories up and while he stuck with one character, I had to be everyone else. Many times we would base it on things we already knew about, I remember doing the most with the Megaman series and creating many Robot Masters, Reploids, or even Net Navis. So thanks to creating characters for a long time, ideas just pop in my head and so I want to share some of these random thoughts I have for Kamen Riders. Now I am not focusing on stories, but I have been trying to make them as I go. I want to focus on the themes of the riders themselves and their gimmicks.
Kamen Rider Disaster
Disaster was the first one I have thought of, at least from what I can remember. Originally I called him Storm, but I soon changed it to Disaster for well a natural disaster theme. His default form is a lightning form with a sword that is similar to Black RX. Disaster's powers comes from the god of calamity, called Disaster in his world. A ritual is performed on him to posses these powers and become the god who punished the ones who abused this power. Pretty much I kept an idea from the original Kamen Rider which was the who process on how he was created. The big difference is that Disaster is more organic while the original was a cyborg, still both of them are forced into accpeting these powers. Disaster picks up forms from types of enemies he fights as there are many elements. First would be the Wildfire form which is fire form and along with each form comes a new weapon he can materialize and the fire form comes with a throwing axe. Next would be the Tornado form which comes with a lance which creates pirecing winds and when dashing with the lance can make a tornado cover him, and of course he is strong with air combat. Then there is the Ice Age form which comes with knives and daggers as he becomes more mobile on the ground as he creates ice around him. Quake would be next as there is no weapon that comes with it, but the strength is enough as he is slower. With all the elements together he can soon gain his final form, Chaos which can combine the elements as much as he wants.
Kamen Rider Satan (Devil)
I know this is a risky name for a superhero, but this has been one of my favorite ideas for a long time. I play JRPG's a great amount of the time and there is usually religion playing in the story. Most of the times it is showing that some of these religions are not what they seem and that is how I thought of this rider. Satan's default form comes with hellfire and a pitchfork like weapon as he wields it like a halberdier. His has three forms which two of them are making contracts with other spirts of Hell. The first one is Hellhound which is bestial form with claw weapons as this form gives him better speed and abilites to perform combos. The other spirit is the Reaper which gives him a scythe and he is weaker in this form than the others, but it's big focus is dodging and deadly attacks. The final form will be the Gateway form which makes his armor stronger and gives him access to the gates of Hell. He can open the chest part of his armor to summon new attacks like the hands of Hell. He can even redirect attacks if he catches it.
Kamen Rider Cosmos
Cosmos is a space rider as you can tell and Fourze had me thinking of a space rider. I wanted to focus on the whole solar system though. There are powers he must gain from the planets, but not all of them will be form changes. Some of these will be weapons like Saturn will give him chakrams. His defualt form has a heavy star design and his default power comes form Earth which gives him the ability of gravity control. His default weapon in a fencing sword and with the gravational changes he can make faster or slower and stronger attacks. Now an issue I had was thinking of using the Sun or Mars for the fire form, but I went for the Sun as this will be before his final form. With the Sun he can control solar flares and can even make blinding lights. The Mars spirit can give him bombs though can cause chemical reactions and he can create different types of bombs with these reactions. The Pluto form gives the power to make any projectile smaller and he can use this to even hide some weapons he decides to throw. Now the power will still be kept intact which is what makes this a tricky form. The Neptune form is a parry like state where he can bounce off attacks when timed correctly, I got this idea because the planet is the most dense. Mercury gives a small knife, but when whatever it stabs will experience a major change of temperature. Venus will be another form which creates a double hit ability for Cosmos making each attack more powerful. Jupiter then gives Cosmos two gaunlets to use in combat. Uranus is a form change that works well as it can create projectiles of both ice and rock. Finally there is Universal which gives him a King's Sword that can freely combine the powers of the planets.
Kamen Rider Infinite
Infinite is a energy based rider that can also use the elements, but heavily differs from Disaster. First of all, Infinite does not use weapons, except for his final, but his form changes require him to change his combat style. Infinite's default form uses the energy around him to make stronger hits and when he does get hit he can sap from energy from his foes to increase his attacks. The fire state makes his attacks more powerful, but it burns his energy quickly. Wind gives him an additional attack with his fists as the gusts become stronger around them. The Water state gives him the ability to slow down attacks as the water flows around the foes. Infinite's final form is called Soul which gives a short sword where he can focus the most of his energy there to create strong slashes. When he stabs foes with this sword he can use the Soul Burst to use his enemies' energy to burst out of them.
Kamen Rider Totem
Totem and Infinite have a similar bond which I could get to in another post. Totem's theme is the animal spirits. His default form has Totem only focus on his strength as his style has a bit of wrestling with it. Out of the fighters, Totem is the most brutal in his style. There is the Bull form that gives him two sais and he can cause ramming attacks with these swords as he can equip them into his head and use his like a bull. The Crow form gives him the ability to fly and gives a bow and arrow. The Deer form makes his kicks much more powerful than before. Salmon form gives him a staff that creates splashing attacks. His final form is called Gathering where he can use the full power of the spirits. Here he can summon a giant totem to use as a weapon and even materalize the animal spirts.
This will end part one then since there are ten more I have thought of, again these simply can just come into my head. I am just trying to keep a solid memory of them as well and simply typing them down will be helpful. If you enjoy these, I can easily continue to do more. Also sorry about the lack of posts, there is just too much personal shit going on, but doing posts like these really does help to make me type some more.

Some Thoughts On Kamen Rider Ghost
Well Kamen Rider Ghost has been shown to the fans in leaked and offical images and I just want to say somethings about this new rider. This is the first quick thought post I am doing where I will not be doing much editing to these types of posts. I am aiming for raw thoughts here. Either way for Kamen Rider Ghost so far I have mixed feelings about this guy.
To start things off I will look at Ghost's design as of right now. For the default form, I really love it! I was surprised by the use of orange for the suit, but it works very well. I also did some little research about the Ghost Moth and some do have a hint of an orange stripe on them, so maybe Ghost is based on that type of moth. The mask is an Oni mask which helps his theme out and the belt is nice. The only part I don't like is the big lever on it, but at least the middle part looks like an eye and gives it an eerie feel to it. Finally, I am a fan of that hoodie it may not work for all of the designs, but I do like this touch for his suit. I just hope the hood won't get in the way of fights. Overall I am a fan of the default form for Ghost, the use of orange and black is great, the belt, mask, and chest give off this ghostly feel, and the hood is a nice ribbion to this package.
Some other forms have been revealed as the gimmick of his forms is going to be based on famous people. So Ghost is using ghosts... Sadly for me this is where the ghost theme starts to die here. I understand the concept, but the execution is sloppy here. Be honest here folks, if you didn't see the default form and just look at these three, can you really say he is a ghost? I mean we got a boxer design here how does that show off a ghost? Personally this concept would work better if they used people that has connections to some darker themes. Maybe like Poe or to the extent of people like that. I won't lie, I like the concept, it is silly and can lead to some great creativity, but this creativity really gets away from the idea of a ghost. I bet there will be some other forms that could work with this better like I feel this Beethoven form can work out because of the grey color scheme, but who knows they could mess it up. One more thing then, why is a form with an apple motif BLUE?!
For Ghost's weapon of choice is can be different weapons and again I like that concept and since Ghost will be switching to forms with different powers this should work... sadly the execution drops again here. Look at this sword, does this look like a weapon that a ghost will use? Why couldn't the default form of the weapon be a scythe, you know like a Grim Reaper. Hell while I am on that, why couldn't Ghost's forms just be based on other spirits like the reaper and such? I would think that easily could have done better with a ghost themed rider. There could also be other famous ghosts from both ficiton and real life stories. How many times has Davy Jones been talked about? I know that is more of a place and not a character, but you can work with that and make it a pirate ghost form. The weapon for that form could have been chains or an anchor. There is so much that can be done here and the weapon we get is pretty generic looking. I mean really if you change the icon and put other hero icons on it I bet it wouldn't look that strange. The sword just has generic all over it, while the design for it could have had a candle look to it and have bits of fire and such.
Some final things to say then would be what the hell is that thing above the text?! This is supposed to be a ghost rider, correct? First off the ghost ship is nice, but what it transforms into is terrible. I think it is supposed to be a chameleon, but what does that have to do with Ghost? I guess the connection is that since Ghost is changing colors that could mean that this beast will change along with him. That is my only guess for why this creature is used. Also the story of the series so far is odd because it just sounds like an adventure and then Ghost is just going to stumble into something else. Hopefully this does not mean the first batch of episodes will be Ghost just getting new icons to use for form changes and then we will just jump to the plot. Sadly, I bet this will happen because toy sales and all of that. Bandai wants to get more stuff out as soon as possible for the kids.
Overall, I don't hate Ghost, I am just disappointed right now. When I heard the name I was happy because I love the idea of gothic or haunting themes for superheroes. It can lead to tons of creativity because they are areas where people don't tend to explore into too much, except for vampires... When I heard of Ghost I was expecting things to be more like his default form and his other forms could have been other famous ghosts. All I have to say is that one of the other riders needs to be a Ghostbuster.
Please let the main villian be Stay Puft!

Toku Warriors!
I have posted a couple of videos on this site before, but this is actually the first time I am going to talk about the Toku Warriors. It's a podcast that I have become a part of last year and while I was more of a guest in the beginning, I have easily become a regular in the group. We talk about Toku shows like you would expect, but we also did some other side things like E3 coverage or other video game things. It's something that I have fun with and it got me to meet great people as this really made the blog feel worth it, finding people that I can truly call friends and talk with. Sure time will move on like usual, but who knows what the future holds. All I know right now I am absolutely happy to be in this group and that's what matters to me. The Toku Warriors have recently brought up a new Youtube channel as I hope you guys can subscribe and help us out! Spread the news any way possible!
The video here is my first appearance. Then here is the link to the new channel.

Starting A Let's Play! The Three Divisions!
A friend of mine always wanted to start one out and I've been thinking of doing one with a good friend as well. Right now I am working with two friends for this project as we are different divisions. I am Nintendo and the others are Sony and Microsoft. I won't reveal my friends as of yet because I don't want to spread their names around without their permission. I've been doing many tests and today I've got a great amount done as the Let's Play could officially start next week, I will keep our first game a secret for now. So far this is my favorite test video, I've got very animated and loud and I hope I can keep that energy for the real deal.

My Predictions On The Upcoming Smash Bros Newcomers
This is another post I did for Herotaku as I recently did my top ten list of newcomers that I would personally want. This time this is more of myself trying to predict what could possibly happen for the upcoming game. Now there are some characters who make appearances from my top ten list again, but there are reasons for them. Most of it has to do with recent games or a recent boom with the fanbase.

Merry Christmas! Black Cat Review
I'm going to be doing something a bit different for this Christmas review. I have looked at manga before with the one hit Skullman. I will have to say this to start, Black Cat is my absolute favorite manga series and I finally got to finish it today. I remember starting with Black Cat when there was a one chapter special in a Shonen Jump collection. I loved those big manga collections, it was a huge part of my childhood and it easily kept me interested in the Japanese entertainment. When I read that special chapter of Black Cat I was stoked. Two sweepers collecting up bounties while trying to protect others, it looked like a buddy cop like story in a manga form. Now Black Cat is easily more about that, but when I was young I was hooked with that idea and then came the anime. I remember watching the anime and I was content with it and then I finally started to find the volumes in my book store. Now for the one I prefer it's easily the manga, but I will say the anime did a pretty good job adapting the story even though it did put an ending that wasn't necessary. I can't even remember when I started to pick up the volumes one by one, it's been so long and I now finally finished it. What's worse is that I found the final volume, but I needed four before it. So I had volume twenty with the other books. I constantly read the volumes I had and twenty was still there untouched. Now I finally finished the series and I want to give a review on it.
Black Cat starts with as I stated before, with the two main characters Train Heartnet and Sven Vollfied as they are looking for their next target. The two are sweepers which are pretty much bounty hunters as they bring criminals to justice for pay. The two simply live life doing their job and the first chapter shows this well. During this hunt though they end up helping one of their targets and soon they get involved with a little more trouble. Now the main story doesn't start here, but the first chapter just shows who the characters are and even giving the readers an insight of who Train is. Train wields a large black gun with the marking of thirteen in roman numerals. This gun belongs to the Black Cat who was a legendary assassin who worked with an organization called Chronos. It's an organization that aims for world peace and their plan is to give maintain balance in the world. The organization even controls one third of the economy so Chronos has more than physical strength backing them up. Train was the thirteenth assassin and the rumors said he died two years ago, but what actually happens is that he became a stray cat. This is where the story mostly revolves around, how Train decided to not be an assassin anymore and soon having his past come back. Sven actually doesn't have any connection with Chronos, he's just an ordinary sweeper with a special gift. The two start to get more jobs and soon they get involved in a huge job. Hired by Rinslet a thief, their next job is to rescue a girl from a gangster. This is where Eve comes into play as she was raised to be a killing machine and with the nanomachines in her body she can transform her body freely. Sven's gentlemanly behavior and father-like attitude behavior really shines here as he doesn't leave any women behind. With Eve he doesn't want to see a girl like her live a life full of murder. Soon Eve joins the gang and soon even she partakes in helping Sven and Train with their job. The first two volumes really highlight on the characters and some nice story telling moments regarding Train's past. The three main characters Train, Sven, and Eve are easily my favorite group of characters, they all have something to focus on and go through strong development. Also even though Train is the true main character, Sven and Eve easily hold up their own and have their own fights and it never feels unbalanced. I usually see the main character syndrome in a lot of Shonen series, but Black Cat avoids that problem easily.
Soon after rescuing Eve, Train's past comes back in a major way as one man returns. Creed Diskenth who was a member of Chronos has now started his own group. The Apostle of the Stars don't come until a little later, but the introduction of Creed was strong. He's a complete psychopath who sees that the world needs major changes to it and with his new gang he will fight for that. Creed also wants Train to be a part of his group, but Train has other ideas for him. Creed is the main villain as he is connected to the Black Cat turning into a stray. When Train was on the run from Chronos, Creed was one of the people looking for him and it was for the same purpose as it was now. Train was changing though and it was because of a sweeper named Saya. She was a completely free person as she did pretty much was Train does now. She told him of the ways of using a gun for the purpose of helping and not killing. Creed, the insane man he is decides he needs to save Train from the witch Saya. He would think getting rid of her would awaken Train back to his normal self. In a way Creed did get Train back to being the Black Cat, but it only comes when he hungers for vengeance. Train's story goes through what Saya told him and applying that to even the toughest situations. The idea of to kill or not to kill is a very hard decision to make as it's a common question throughout the whole story. We see people who kill for no purpose, those who kill for the job, and others who kill for their ideals. With that there are also other people who will defend and save the people even if they have to fight them. Many stories mostly just have heroes kill the villain which is nice, but Black Cat really does change it up.
Pros- As I stated before the main characters in this manga series are a huge delight. There is Train the man who seeks for vengeance, but still has the question if he should kill or not. Sven who puts all of his efforts to help the people near to him and evolve with his powers. Eve who was born to be a killing machine gets the chance to choose what goes in her life and learning to help and protect others with her powers. There are many other characters too like Rinslet the thief. She doesn't really fight, but she does help the three out regularly. The Chronos holds some interesting characters like their leader, number one, Sephiria Arks. She doesn't hold back on what she thinks as Chronos is her way of living and those who defy will be taken down. Jenos who is number seven is a playboy kind of guy who soon finds his way into the trouble by having Rinslet do some work for him. Then the Apostle of the Stars who come later in the plot, but easily hold big characters. First there is Creed the main villain of the whole series who keeps evolving until he becomes a god of the Earth. Kyoko a high school girl who falls in love with Train and even she gets her choice to leave or continue fighting. Charden who follows Creeds words, but starts to see him slipping away from his true intentions. I could go on with many other characters as well, but I need to continue on. The artwork is pretty good, now the first issues do have a different style compared to the overall artwork. It's still pretty nice to look at though and nothing is confusing to look at. There is actually a high amount of comedy presented in the whole series and I can always get a laugh thanks to Eve being cute or Train being a mess or just messing around with others. The length of the series is one hundred and eighty-five chapters which does sound like a lot, but compared to many other manga series it's shorter than others and also compared to other Shonen series.
Cons- I will say there is some filler in the series that didn't need to be in and there are some characters that appear and won't ever again. There was a fake Black Cat who was pretty funny and it was great to see people thinking a fat middle aged man was Black Cat. Then there was the assassin who wanted to challenge Train in battle and would keep training to defeat him.
Overall- I highly recommend this series even though it can be hard to find rough copies, but maybe that could have been just me being lazy and not doing online shopping. I bet there are scans up if you want to try the first couple of chapters. Personally it's my favorite mostly because of the main cast which is unlikely in the Shonen world now. Most of the people I know or the fanbases usually hate the main characters, but love the side characters. Black Cat gives off a nice story while pulling off some new things I haven't seen in the Shonen series in the past and today. I easily give Black Cat an A+ Also don't worry today I will get the Kyoryuger review up today as well (for those wondering I finished this review at one in the morning).

Well it Happened Again
There must be an issue with blogger because the polls just reset again. I think I could just be done with the polls since they are just resetting. This is because Poll Results will looks pretty stupid if there all the previous votes were deleted. So polls are being deleted until I hear news that they are working again.

Going to Magfest!
I keep up with a lot of internet shows and through the Game Grumps show I found out about Magfest in Maryland. I could be going if life lets me. It starts in Jan 3-6. There is ton of gaming, guests, and panels. I never did anything like this so I can give myself a little vacation after my classes. There's a chance of cosplay, but maybe if I find the right things. If not I would easily wear my Kamen Rider Accel shirt. I am so going for the panels like Arin's (Egoraptor) Q&A and Atop the Fourth Wall Live! I keep you updated on this as you can per-register anytime before the starting day.

Random Post: Awsome Tribute MV To Shotaro Ishinomori
Yea not a lot of news is going on so far. There is the fact that Kitsubs have released all of the net movies from Lets Go Kamen Rider Movie and they are funny! I recently found this vid though and its amazing I honor this man for what he has done for the toku franchise. He started two of the big 4 toku series, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai and many other toku classics like Kikaider. Also his many shows have influenced many other rider series like Fourze. He is my inspiration to write and it got me out of my slump when I first watched Kamen Rider. I know theres a slim chance I will ever be making shows in Japan, but I want to write my stories and hope they can just be read or seen by people. So I thank you Ishinomori I hope I can watch more of your series soon.
