It is whats worse is he wont be able to see the movie super hero Taisein but i heard his wife will attend, Aside from that he was one of the showa riders the original bucnh and to see him gone is painful for many fans and much more painful to the ones who knew him personally whats worse is that he died by something that could've been prevented/treated. its a sad day in rider history.
Looks like Shigeru's not the only one dying.

Don't click if you haven't kept up with Fourze....like me. (Click to View)
Also, shameless plug. Criticism is welcome. Ignore that last bit in the end, my voice cracked. ; A;

dude that was awesome! Ill admit some parts couldve been better but you pretty much nailed it on the head. Love your voice hope to see more covers from ya soon. but yes stronger will be missed by many...
There is no freaking way they would kill him off. Not with cosmic state being shown in the next ep.

That's what everyone's been saying. But they don't believe that it'd be permanent. Especially with Cosmic State around the corner.

Also, Den-O is getting the Figuart treatment. And I don't mean NEW Den-O or Den-O Climax Form. I mean the original Den-O. The Den-O that started it all.

So yeah. I gotta nab this one somehow. Den-O is one of my favorite series solely because of the Ga-oh movie. If Yuuki had brought back Ga-oh as one of the Imagin revived in his movie, having to fight Yuuki and Ga-oh would've been a pain.

Edit:
You think the actors get toys of their character? Like, if Araki would get the upcoming Figuarts of Stronger if he were still alive?
The following is a rumour and should stay that way. Do not take this seriously for this is unconfirmed at the time of this post!

Well folks i found an article about the "new" kamen rider Whether or not its true is iffy but i will say i have mixed emotions of the concept.

Criticism is welcomed but then again I didn't make it so tell me your thoughts like it hate it Just tell me what you think! Cause I feel...neutral. Also in terms of the latest episode I like it!

(Kai-V said i could double post here)

Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the next kamen rider!

like it or hate it this is the new rider
I'm still very, very much on the fence about this new rider, but his base form is at least nothing nearly as atrocious as the garbage we've been getting fed with Fourze(which has yet to have a single aesthetically appealing thing other than villains in it, to me).

His abilities seem a lot more interesting, too, based purely off the premise, but they could very easily go an extremely over-the-top stupid direction with it...
It seems OK. From a profile view, the helmet looks way too big.

Usually, I like black and red, but for some reason, I did not really imagine that colour scheme for a Kamen Rider Wizard ... Kiva was great with that colour scheme, not really Wizard.

There better be a dragon like in the logo too ...
i watched all the series from henshin and showa riders does anyone know about fourze and kai v's avatar is Uhnk from kamen rider ooo
everyone think of kaito owner of the diend driver he's got the skills with that gun

I actually agree with you there but unlike you I love fourze the whole space thing looks awesome to me, Like you I too am on the fence on the one hand his helmet is reminiscent of faiz but on the other hand there is a hugs hand on his belt which i must say kinda looks silly. But none the less its a new rider whether he will be good or not is up to toei and the show he is in Also to Kai-V I think thats a phoenix rather than a dragon.
...I love that this Rider has a trench coat-like design. That's all I truly dig about the design.

The logo's okay, though. I'm not exactly...y'know, kosher with it, but it's okay.

I agree the coat looks awesome! love the whole look of it I mean I flipped out when i heard the whole wizard thing though with this it could work, Though still the hand on the belt is making me go wtf I mean its a hand....
So I decided, because Kamen Rider Fourze is almost over, that I'd catch up with the series. And how! I left off at around episode 15, the episode arc of Meteor's debut. And my god, Meteor is amazing! IIRC, his fighting style is SUPPOSED to be (dunno if it is) Jeet Kun Do, made famous by Bruce Lee, and seeing fights such as the Meteor vs Pegasus fight was pretty cool.

As of this post, Mr. Ohsugi has joined the Kamen Rider Club and Aries has been revealed. I've got 16 more episodes to go. Yayness.

So, because it's been a month, what do you guys think of the newest Kamen Rider, Wizard?
There are two major concepts of Jeet Kune Do: Flow and the intercepting fist.

I've never seen Meteor apply either of these.

He makes Bruce Lee sounds. He doesn't fight like him at all.
I don't particularly know Jeet Kun Do, but I read people mention it first. Now I'm a bit disappointed. His fighting still is unique, though. Very refined style. At least until halfway the battle...

To expand on this a little bit, he uses some moves Bruce Lee is "famous for", but did not actually implement or demonstrate frequently, such as the One Inch Punch(which even in name is a lie concerning the actuality of the technique), and a dramaticized lower-body based fighting style(such as in a few of Bruce Lee's films).

I recall someone mentioning that his fighting style also bears exceptional similarity to Wing Chun(which would be a tangible link to Lee, as he practiced Wing Chun extensively), but it doesn't seem to, really... just your typical sloppy Kamen Rider fighting with the occasional dramatic twist thrown in.

This has been Roseanne, your guide to the world of facts and idiotic children show speculation.

Ha! I like that! It's true, though. I assumed it was Jeet Kun Do because of the usage of Bruce Lee's signature punch, which was used in two occasions: vs Pegasus and on Gentaro. But when I tried to look for any validity on it (sadly, my only source were wikis, which don't make very good sources), I couldn't back it up. So I went with the assumption.

Finally caught up with Kamen Rider Fourze in three days. Wasn't hard to watch, but it was hard to tolerate...
I learned one thing from watching fourze and it is to be tolerate of opinions I know some of you may hate the show but I love it I do with all my being, I have seen this show from the begining and was there for every twist and turn and now it will end soon and on my birthday no less! So surprise to me! but still

I love it you don't got too but I will say this I can go in life saying I gave him a chance and not judge him based solely on looks

Relax, there is a difference between hating something and holding a balanced opinion of it. In this case, your love of the show means that you might take other's more uh, 'practically-oriented' opinions as being hateful to the show, but try to keep in mind that few people are going to be in this thread if they dislike kamen rider.

Th!nk don't get me wrong I can handle an opinion but I'm talking about the ones who hold their opinion as fact I have seen posts and messages like on facebook just TEARING apart fourze. I was dumb back then I know not everyone likes fourze just like not everyone will like Den-O or W or even OOO's But still you get what i mean Also I find it fitting that it ends on the 26th >W< thats my B-Day! *sighs* I didn't mean it towards anyone here I shouldve added that...
Okay, so all twelve Horoscopes have been revealed as of this point, the last being Pisces (my sign <3 all of my feels). Let's review them, shall we?

This list contains important plot information, such as their identities. (Click to View)

Which of these Zodiarts do you like the most? Character wise, ability wise, etc. I find my favorite in Scorpio because of her fighting style, which I can relate more with myself. Just as (Yaguruma) TheBee and KickHopper are my favorite Riders overall because of their kicking-based fighting style, Scorpio also mimics the same pattern.
I just saw Episode 47 of kamen rider fourze (well yesterday...) and let me say this I cried in one part. I did I shed legitimate tears, I won't spoil anything but it is heartwrenching.
