Rant 9 - My thoughts on Kamen Rider Drive suprise future

Hi there this is DS rider coming at you with another toku rant and this time it's my thoughts on Kamen Rider Drive's summer movie, Suprise Future. Warning spoilers below

To start off I liked it. I liked the story with Eiji Tomari and dark drive as well as Roidmude 108 being the same person that was a well done twist.

I do like the design of Dark Drive with it's Tron like neon blue lines on the suit it does make me wonder if the future versions of Mach and Chaser look like that too.

However I do feel like there are some element reused from Movie war Full Throttle, the crossover movie with Kamen Rider Gaim. Such as the drive driver damaged and the shift cars help repair it. Okay that's not entirely accurate. In that movie the driver was merely critically damaged in this movie it's cleaved in half by an axe because of corrupted programming.

But they are able to restore Krim Steinbelt in Dark Drive's Belt after he discarded it by using the movie exclusive Deux-ex-machina. The Tridoron Key. Which in a Mach driver allows Tomari Shinnosuke to become Kamen Rider Chou Dead Heat Drive.

I like the design of Chou dead heat and it makes sense because the original dead heat is a mix of Drive Type speed and Mach's base form and Chou dead heat is Mashin Chaser's body with the purple coloured red and with Type Speed's head.

There are other things I like such as the return of ride Crosser which was only used twice in the show.
How Dark Drive's shift cars can possess ordinary vehicles and create roidmudes that's a nice touch. And how it alludes to Shinnosuke and Kiriko getting Married.

And I do like it when Shinnosuke becomes Drive type special he fuses with a projection of Eiji as they transform together. You don't get that in Den-O that's for sure.

Overall I thought it was a good movie and it ties into the series quite well, which is a suprise to say the least. I hope that you enjoy this movie when you watch it yourself if you haven't already

That's all from me this week see you.

Next week has did Jonathan Tzachor ruin Power Rangers.
