I would recommend reading or paying attention to the text parts that appear a bit before the next episode preview. They are the rules of the DGP. It is usually explained in the episodes, but there is a neat payoff due to how the story progresses.
In case you haven't noticed, the hand pose Ace makes before he snap it and henshin is basically the shape of a fox. Small detail but brilliant nonetheless 😆
One thing to note is that each rider has a helmet in the shape of an animal, this is on purpose, the animals represent a part of their personality and has a stereotype the old man who died was a penguin- male penguins take care of their children ace - the fox is a liar and make schemes keiwa- the raccoon is innocent and optimistic neon- the cat wants to run away from home and be free michinaga- buffalo gets angry easy and always wants to fight the panda and the sheep also have their personality stereotypes that they will discover later in the show
3:57 Ben and John are both guards hired by Neon’s family, with both being played by actors who are Rider fans, with John’s actor, Tom Constantine, already having a credited history acting in Rider, heck he actually cameoed in the recent Faiz Anniversary movie
One thing that usually flies over the head of western viewers is that all the names, both of characters and the Rider forms are meaningful or puns if not both. Ace's name is "Ukiyo Ace" which reads like "Ukiyo-e" or "Pictures of a Floating World", like the style of painting. Denoting not only age, but depicting how he changes the world and is more 'high brow' than he leads on. Ace, of couse, for "number one". Keiwa's name basically means "Peaceful Landscape". Michinaga's name basically means "Long Road". Neon's name will be explained later. Tsumuri's name means "Close your eyes" Their rider names all represent their animals. Geats is a corruption of Kitsu, as in Kitsune, the fox. Tycoon is Typhoon Raccoon. Nago comes from Neko and Nya (Meow), for the cat. Buffa is for both Buff, Buffer and Buffallo.
Your opinion is great. But keiwa can be explored further. I'm not sure if Google Translate will be able to convey it accurately, but I'll give it a try. 景(Kei) means "the state of the surroundings as seen from one's perspective." It also means "all shapes illuminated by the sunlight," and can have the same meaning and reading as kage(Shadow). In Japanese, Peace is a compound word combining two kanji characters, 平 (equal) and 和 (friendly), so if you just use 和(wa), the friendly meaning would be stronger. In other words, Keiwa can be interpreted as a name with two meanings: "someone who can build friendly relationships with those around them" and "someone who is friendly to kage (darkness)." Also, Michinaga is more famous as the name of a historical figure than the meaning of the kanji itself, and if you hear the name "Michinaga," most Japanese people will think of Fujiwara no Michinaga, a politician from the Heian period (about 1,000 years ago). He was a ruthless politician who used all means to eliminate his political opponents, wielding such immense power that even the emperor could not defy him. At the same time, he was also a master archer with a bold personality, a great lover of literature, and a visionary intellectual who protected and supported female writers, including Murasaki Shikibu, author of The Tale of Genji, Japan's oldest full-length novel. Also, in The Tale of Genji, there is a scheming politician who is based on Michinaga, and Michinaga looked forward to this, and had a charming side to him, as he would pester Murasaki Shikibu by asking for her manuscript every time they met. This multifaceted and dangerous charm is shared by Buffa, and the image color of both him and his sponsor, Beloba, is purple, which is also in Murasaki Shikibu's name.(Murasaki=Purple) So I think Michinaga was created based on Fujiwara no Michinaga as a character model, rather than the meaning of the kanji in his name.
@@yta5256 Oh yeah, I absolutely believe those reasons too. That's the beauty of kanji word play and cultural references. I'm sure there's a bunch of things as a westerner myself that I miss. Even design wise, there's also the fact that all the animals of the main characters are also yokai and not just animals. There's of course the Kyubi Kitsune rather than just the fox, but also the Tanuki, the Bakeneko; and of course the Gyuki, Ushi-Oni for Buffa. Kamen Rider goes really hard with their brainstorming sessions.
@@jpcsdutra Geetz was particularly thoughtful about that. I think he managed to bring together a lot of motifs, such as online FPS, streamers, and reality shows, very well. The storyline also follows the origins of Kamen Rider, where oni, kyubi no kitune, and tengu (Neon's family name, Kurama, is the name of the most famous tengu in Japan), are said to be the three great Youkai in Japan, and the incarnations of nature protect the world from the privileged class of humans who use the power of science to play with life. Also, unlike foxes that are recognized as gods by the Emperor, the pope of Shinto, tanuki are deified beings created from folklore, so considering the relationship between Keiwa and Kekera, you can see that his character is well thought out. Sorry for the long reply. As a Japanese Toku otaku, I'm happy to be able to exchange opinions with enthusiastic overseas fans like you who pay attention to the meaning of character names.
13:22 Definitely more of a lore thing for you guys, but at the end of an episode, they always give out some rules about the DGP Sometimes it’s summarizes the main thread of the episode, but it also hints at further stuff down the line I think the rule that was the end of this episode was that if you die in the DGP game, you die in the real world🤔
Man after i watched ur guys episode 1 reaction, i tried to rewatch the whole series again, but then i feel bored since i always watch it alone, think now i can only watch ur guys reaction videos, hope to see more episodes soon! 🔥❤
One of few reason why Tokusatsu nowdays better than American heroes nowdays are simple "Choreography God Tier Lvl" They did practical angle perfect They did great concept camera work They did deliver stunt choreo perfect Its like how Jackie Chan work backthen in Hongkong But when he makes a project with american its not like what he did in Hongkong Now this more like what happened if its work in right hand Japan Toku is like How Hongkong jackie chan movie And American heroes movie is just like American Jackie chan film Which one was satisfied? Its depend on your impression If you like fight scene you know toku and Hongking jackie chan was build better than american thing
Not sure if you will see this, but a small thing. Keep an eye out on how Ace talks to Keiwa and Neon Ace is a trickser, his language is very specific He may come across as a jerk, but there is a secret meaning behind his words and actions around those two
@@faiyyyeru_17 Not a spoiler, I'm just clarifying that it's not a digital world. I mean, given that people don't think of kids shows as having deaths, and the videogame/pubg nature of the Desire Grand Prix, it's an easy assumption that it's set in a digital world. Just clearing it up so as not to lessen the impact of the deaths shown in the show.
since you two are starting your Kamen Rider journey, will there be a Super Sentai reaction serie too? If so, which Super Sentai serie do you two going to react?

Guys, do me a favor and check out "Kamen Rider run".
I wanna see how you would react to that.
My comment got deleted by TH-cam again...
All I said was "Kamen Rider run" and "Running Champion (Kamen Rider)".
In case you haven't noticed, the hand pose Ace makes before he snap it and henshin is basically the shape of a fox. Small detail but brilliant nonetheless 😆
Yeah, The same shape of aki's "kon" from chainsaw man
One thing to note is that each rider has a helmet in the shape of an animal, this is on purpose, the animals represent a part of their personality and has a stereotype
the old man who died was a penguin- male penguins take care of their children
ace - the fox is a liar and make schemes
keiwa- the raccoon is innocent and optimistic
neon- the cat wants to run away from home and be free
michinaga- buffalo gets angry easy and always wants to fight
the panda and the sheep also have their personality stereotypes that they will discover later in the show
Buffalo? you sure michinaga it's not just zombie? XD
3:57 Ben and John are both guards hired by Neon’s family, with both being played by actors who are Rider fans, with John’s actor, Tom Constantine, already having a credited history acting in Rider, heck he actually cameoed in the recent Faiz Anniversary movie
Geats has some of the best action choreography out of any Kamen Rider show. y'all in for a treat
Geats is quite a Kamen rider
One thing that usually flies over the head of western viewers is that all the names, both of characters and the Rider forms are meaningful or puns if not both.
Ace's name is "Ukiyo Ace" which reads like "Ukiyo-e" or "Pictures of a Floating World", like the style of painting. Denoting not only age, but depicting how he changes the world and is more 'high brow' than he leads on. Ace, of couse, for "number one".

@@yta5256 Don't apologize. I really like talking about Rider and Sentai. Makes me happy to be able to talk to other fans.
@@jpcsdutra
thank you!
Please continue to enjoy Toku!
13:22 Definitely more of a lore thing for you guys, but at the end of an episode, they always give out some rules about the DGP
Sometimes it’s summarizes the main thread of the episode, but it also hints at further stuff down the line
I think the rule that was the end of this episode was that if you die in the DGP game, you die in the real world🤔
Man after i watched ur guys episode 1 reaction, i tried to rewatch the whole series again, but then i feel bored since i always watch it alone, think now i can only watch ur guys reaction videos, hope to see more episodes soon! 🔥❤
Same right here
This show was great when we watched the first time man( i miss geats😭)
@@bloodhazat264 yeah thought the first half of the series was fkin hype but somehow felt a bit worse in the rest
man geats its such a good series for starting kamen rider
MORE GEATS
wow, you guys uploaded the next ep straight away?!...this is what I like🤩
They are gonna love Geats story
One of few reason why Tokusatsu nowdays better than American heroes nowdays are simple
"Choreography God Tier Lvl"
They did practical angle perfect
They did great concept camera work
They did deliver stunt choreo perfect
Its like how Jackie Chan work backthen in Hongkong
But when he makes a project with american its not like what he did in Hongkong
Now this more like what happened if its work in right hand
Japan Toku is like How Hongkong jackie chan movie
And American heroes movie is just like American Jackie chan film
Which one was satisfied? Its depend on your impression
If you like fight scene you know toku and Hongking jackie chan was build better than american thing
Not sure if you will see this, but a small thing. Keep an eye out on how Ace talks to Keiwa and Neon
Ace is a trickser, his language is very specific
He may come across as a jerk, but there is a secret meaning behind his words and actions around those two
this chainsaw sword is arguably the rawest weapon in kr
Omg this is fast 😂. Just watched your recent videos
Thank you, guys, again for the upload today.
I'm sure someone's already mentioned it by now, but they're not in a digital world. Those people have become plant food.
don’t spoil it wtf 😭
mf straight up spoiling it wtf

since you two are starting your Kamen Rider journey, will there be a Super Sentai reaction serie too? If so, which Super Sentai serie do you two going to react?
They already started in patreon, its zyuranger
@@LordDecader_Edits oh, make sense since Power Ranger's first series is Mighty Morphing
nice brothers i will be waiting for another EP.
Im telling yah the effects and the camera work. Freaking evolved compared to early heisei era.
But id still reccomend Kabuto after Geats.
Damn that fast
Please react to Kamen Rider Kabuto
They will like Tendo so freaking much for sure
After geats i guess
