Happy new year everyone this is DSrider here. This year marks the 45th Anniversary of great work of Shotaro Ishinomori, Kamen Rider.
Today I'm here to talk to you about something rather decisive (I think that's the word anyway) amoung the fan base. do Kamen Riders 3 and 4 deserve the title of Kamen Rider.
Simply put no they don't. They are at best Shocker Riders. I will start with 3 first so let's get him out the way first shall we.
Firstly when Sangou became a shocker Rider he was never brainwashed like Shocker tried to do to 1&2 he joined them of free will because he shared Shocker's ideals, he never showed any genuine regret for all the wrong he has done throughout both movies he was featured in until the very end when it was such a heel turn desision that one would think it was character assassination for him.
Now on to Yongou. He is simply a robot built by Shocker to help them take over the world. There is no chance for redemption unlike Sangou. Heck even in the net movies in which he was the titular character Tomari shinnosuke Kamen Rider Drive said that he had no right to call himself a Kamen Rider. That being said I do like the Yongou net movies despite their flaws which only come up due to it's relation with shouji younemura's super hero Taisen film line.
I will counter this argument however with the designs of the suits, I love the original Typhoon belt design it's basic pure and simple.
To back me up on this statement I direct you to Des Shinta's reviews of both Super Hero Taisen GP 3, Kamen Rider Sangou and The Kamen Rider Yongou net movies I highly recommend them becuase even if the reviews themselves bore you there are a lot of antics you can enjoy. You can find them on Dailymotion just look up Des Shinta reviews
That's all for this week see you next time becuase next week we are talking about how Star Wars could technically be counted as Tokusatsu. After that we are discussing why Inui Takumi is my favourite Kamen Rider. See ya
