Favorite Other Riders

[Remus Lupin]

I know some of us prefer the extra riders from a show over the main rider. So, that's what this this thread is for.

Discuss!

[Moriamur]

Aaaahhh... Now this is a thread I can sink my kibas into lol

Anyways... When it comes down to Kamen Rider Ryuki-Kabuto, while I adored the suit designs from those shows, it were the characters that made me love them... Well for some of them...

Let's start with Ryuki... Now those who know me already know this, but my favorite Rider from that show is and shall always be Ouja, it is not only that he is purple on black, or that his suit and Rider kick looks sooo damn awesome... I personally just loooove the idea of a Rider who is a wanted criminal, AND a crazed psychopathic murderer... It added something to the story, plus the guy killed Riders for the fun of it... And I loved that aspect of him... Not saying that I want that for all the other Riders, but for Ryuki it worked since it showed us a level of realisme that not all people are truly honest or good or whatever...

Okay, moving on... Kamen Rider Faiz... Again as we all know I just love Kaixa... Don't get me wrong I love Faiz as well, but Kaixa stands out to me... Plus with the X going over his visor gave off the illusion of bug eyes (to an extend) plus he had a kickass blade... Other then that, the character was a dick as most people would say... I personally would say that he puts on a mask too often and only see things black and white is the term I believe (as in all Humans good, all Orphenoch evil)... oh well

Kamen Rider Blade... Aaaahhh the first Rider show I truly heard off and saw clips from and let me tell you... From all the 4 Riders, there was 1 with who I fell in love with right away... Chalice... Not only does he stand out from the other 3 Riders in terms of design, he, to me, looks more Rider-ish then the others... Especially when he changes into Wild Form, unlike King Form, Wild Form remains the same as the original form with some changes added to the armor here and there, but he remains to keep his speed and agility which are also greatly enhanced along with his strength and stamina IMO, plus next to his new weapons he also still has his original bow in possession... Not to mention the story of Hajime himself... I dunno somehow it grabs me in the end (don't worry I won't spoil anything for those who has yet to finish watching Blade)... Same with Kenzaki himself...

Kamen Rider Hibiki... I like the design of Ibuki... Why you ask me..? I do not know but there is something about blackish blue and gold... not to mention having a gun AND knowing a Rider Kick/Ongeki Kick... Yeah... I just like his design a lot

Finally... Kamen Rider Kabuto... Now Kamen Rider Kabuto is kind of a mix to me since well all the designs are good... But gods when Yaguruma went Goth/Emo as some call it and showed up as Kick Hopper... I smiled inside... Not to mention Dark Kabuto (or Kabuta as I call it), a nice constrast to Kabuto himself, both in look and persona... That and yellow eyes and red circuitry design on black armor..? Pure stroke of genious on PLEX's end...

Sooo there we go... The reasons on why these secondary Riders are my favorites are given and with that I wish you all... Happy discussing lol

Poll posted. I left out ALL Movie Riders and a couple from Ryuki that I felt were not really needed because they either had a short arc or weren't that important. I only had 30 options and I was left with two empty leaving out what I did. Sorry about that.

[Kamen Rider Joker]

The answer is clearly Garren.

I really like Ren/Knight (the costume reminds me of Batman for some reason and I kind of like the character's growth as well), Yuuto/Zeronos (I felt the series got better when he popped up onto the screen), Otoya/IXA (Who doesn't love Otoya? Sure he was mostly a goofy playboy wanting to get into Yuri's pants, but he grew to be a better person, and his violin skills (even though its a pre-recording) are amazing), & Saga (The character could use better development, but I love the chess piece motif of the suit. One of the best suit designs in Kiva imo).

[Ring Slinger]

Well now this shoudl be fun. I'm going to try and not get all lenthgy and all that. But here goes.

Agito: I'm a fan of G3/G3-X Hikawa san. He always wanted to do the right thing and fight and save people. Also looking somewhat like Kuuga didn't hurt. Speaking of Looking like Kuuga. Gills, Ashihara san. I just loved his character. His trauma and drama ..I'm not usualyl one for that kind of thing but I do like the way he was portrayed. I'd almost go as far to say as he was one of my fave riders in the series. I also loved Kino san but not to the extend as the others. There was nothing wrong with the guy but hey XD

Blade: I love Kenzaki and most of the main crew. But I , much like Michel, was simply taken back about how much Chalice stands out, both as a chracter and a rider. His overall design is very striking, much like his moves and power set he just exuded (sp??) confidence and ..well bad assery XD Also I feel for Mutski, especially his beginning arc of simply wanting to help and be a hero. All of the drama that he went though and his "bad ass wanabe" type stuff was interesting but later on he had finally gotten to where he wanted and I liked that. It doesn't hurt that he had a green and gold outfit going on..so..that was cool.

Hibiki: Gotta give it up for Todoroki, while the new guy he had his own thing working for him. Much like he had "his own way of being an oni" it worked for him.

Kabuto: While I loved like pretty much every rider except for Drake. I had to go with Kick Hopper. I was on a big kick of getting into the older stuff and gotta give it up for the hopper rider. But on a different note I really loved his character growth and change. He was all work ethic and perfect harmony then he's a moody emo ish mo-fo who only fights when needed. That and he just rocked.

Kiva: Ixa '86 Two words... Otoya Kurenai.. Nuff said. That guy is what makes the series for me. I'm not all that big on kiva even tho I've got nothing wrong with it but he just makes it for me. I Loved all that they had him do and how much he grew as a character. Also c'mon..He's freakin awesome

[S.I.C]

Kamen Rider Ryuki: Zolda

Kamen Rider Blade: Garren

Kamen Rider Hibiki: Todoroki (also Eiki but he wasn't really in the series sadly)

Kamen Rider Kabuto: Gatack

[Kaiser Zero]

Ren/Knight: Ryuki may have been the name of the show but really who was the real star? That's right.

Hajime/Chalice: Again another case of a sub rider out shining the main rider. Don't get me wrong I loved Kenzaki but Hajime grew on me on me quickly more so.

[Kamen Rider Joker]

As I just noticed this was multiple choice, I just my MOD POWERS OF JUSTICE to add 1 point to the following riders: (So people know where they came from). WARNING SPOILERS ABOUND.










Seriously Look away if you havn't seen Agito-Kiva Fully.















Kamen Rider Another Agito - BECOME AGITO! KILL AGITO! But seriously, I like the dynamic he brought, masking his psychological problem until he heroically fixed his mistakes at his last moment.

Kamen Rider Tiger - Again, I like the flawed Logic of the Character of what it meant to be a Hero. And how yet in the end, he finally understood what it truely meant to be a hero, in what was probably my favorite rider death yet.

Kamen Rider Kaixa - Great character. I really loved the Dynamic his character brought. He had to deal with the fact he couldn't get a replacement for his mother no matter how much he tried with Mari. Plus the man had Genuine trust issue after he and his entire class got killed by Dragon Orphenoch (Though don't ask me how that worked without reducing them all to ash.) and revived, with him being the only one with keep the memories of the attack. Leading him to a solitary war against the Orphenoch's. Most of his jerk behavior comes from one of those two angles, and poor Takumi just happened to fall in both. Though he redeemed him self in his final moments.

. . . Anyone else noticing a pattern here?

(Already voted for him) Garren - He's just awesome, and the first guy in here who didn't pay for his mistakes with his life. GOTTA BE STRONG INDEED!


Kamen Rider Zanki - Another Dead Rider, but he's so awesome that HE CAME BACK FROM THE GRAVE! Seriously, Awesome. And that's all I got to say about Zanki.

Kamen Rider Sasword - Once I again, I like the Dynamic Tsurugi brought to the show. Going from a kill all worms attitude from a personal level, to outstanding character growth to end up becoming a true hero in his own right. (Thanks Misaki!) Yet another tragic death (Seriously what's with the Riders I like pushing up Daisies!), but it was an awesome death that punked the Worm race as a whole.

Kamen Rider Zeronos - This one is kinda iffy. I'm not the biggest Sakurai Yuuto fan, maybe it's the bad Hibiki character Kiriya flash backs. But Zeronos is awesome for the Yuuto storyline, so that gives Zeronos some points. But the biggest Draw. . . DENEB! Seriously, does anything get more Awesome than Deneb? (Okay Maybe Zanki, but not much else!)

Kamen Rider IXA Nago Keisuke - IXA-CISE! Ore wa tadashii! . . . Yeah I like Nago, more than Otoya. He played "I'm awesome" so well (Though the Actor can't admittly do much else.) Plus I like the growth from "I will destory Kiva!" to becoming one of Wataru's closest allies. Anyone who disagrees, Sono inochi, kami ni kaeshinasai.

many other riders are missing,

I only posted Heisei Riders because the poll has a limit of 30.

[Remus Lupin]

This list is for riders OTHER than the main rider. I also purposefully left out movie riders because there was not enough room. Still think there's something missing that you think we accidentally left out?

[GatasNgPusa]

oh only 30,sorry i dont know,but there are many other HEISEi riders missing
