TanyuuOct 18, 202531 replies487 viewsOkay, we completely stepped into supernatural territory now, with an actual monster turning people into pink bubbles and actual Shockers that transform with a nazi salute.
I can't believe they entered the restaurant still wearing their outfits XD
But they sure picked it right since the manager has known about Shockers for a long time and he has an actual Shocker girlfriend. I really wonder what their relationship will lead to. He wants to protect his girlfriend from Shockers when she's actually part of the enemy... and giving off yandere vibes. Yikes.
For a moment I thought the love for good fruit would prevail...
But no. And the farmer ossan ended up being a Shocker??
I also wonder what will become of that thirsty student who's getting tangled into all this. Given that his first thought was to blackmail Yuriko into having sex with him, I wouldn't be too sad if he ends up a collateral victim.
Still, I'm glad Tanzaburou and Yuriko already decided to work together, overcoming their differences for the greater good. They kinda feel like a manzai duo, with Yuriko as the straight woman (as we could see when Mitsuha decided to tell them his life story :'D)
Her "Zannen Rider" was gold too XD
A huge plot twist at the end. I thought there would be some yuri but she is just one more enemy
why
I had a feeling about what was going to happen. It seemed suspicious from the start; I knew it was her. That's why I didn't expect any yuri, even though I hoped there would be.
same
gawd damn kamen rider be riding the wrong ting you fell me
You shouldve read the manga its even crazier LMAO
I think I should, lol. Where do you think I should start reading the manga? Is it better to watch what the anime covers first, or should I just dive into the manga?
so what about this dude he seems to powerfull and sexy im not gay just sayin
you know acidifying the shocker like it's not a big deal!! the villain we are waiting for. supposedly the main villain dissolved into nothing and he walks away without elaborating on why he did that?.
He looked like an evil Sanji from One Piece.
Same hair, same kind of suit with a necktie. Missing the goatee and the crazy eyebrow though.
wait he does actually lol. we dunno about his personality though but we'll see.
Ew, anime ecchi on my toku series
Jokes aside, this episode was pretty much a setup, we got some nice dialog between the two chunis, Tanzaburou is a very good boy. The new dude's girlfriend being part of shocker caught me off guard (probably because I'm dumb).
Ngl, the nerd ass student low-key gave me the creeps here.
Yeah, you really are clueless, lol. her facial expression says it all. she fooled that dumbass. yah that dude gave me the creeps too.
I thought she was going to be another rider.
The nerd student seems to be setting up a villain backstory or something to me. He's obviously supposed to be obsessed to the point that it can't end well.
The villians are real now this episode was such a good twist. I can't wait to see Yuriko and Tanzaburou become real heroes.
I think we will see other heroes who are superior to Yuriko and Tanzaburou. Since we have already met someone who is superior to Shocker.
Jesus fuck this is samurai flamenco all over again. I'm getting 'nam flashbacks, bro..
once again japan infatuated with nazi shit no fucking way
I don't get why you're surprised with an AoT pfp, but also Kamen Rider started during the 70s. So, they kind of did it first
I wouldn't call that as being "infatuated with Nazi". I saw nothing in that episode to glorify or promote Nazi ideology.
American pop culture has also been using Nazi references to depict bad guys. Would you also describe Americans as being infatuated with Nazi each time they do it?
It might be a dog whistle.
Rightwingers get mad these days when someone calls nazis the bad guys. Cause, you know, they're out of the closet now and all.
But maybe that's not what's going on here, who knows.
Are you seriously suggesting I'm a Nazi for explaining why I disagree with him on this subjects?
Do you think everything that looks like a Nazi reference or symbol is there to promote the Nazi ideology? What about context?
Are you one of those Americans who want Japanese to stop using the swastika (called manji,)? Or calls the Zwarte Piet, in the Netherlands & Belgium, "Racist", because they paint their face in black?
Is Star Wars promoting Nazism?
This isn't Elon Musk doing the fascist salute during the inauguration of a president with anti-democratic politics. The story of Kamen Rider reflects postwar Japanese anxieties about technology, dehumanization, and fascism, turning them into a message of individual resistance against totalitarian control.
The complete opposite of what people like you are pretending to fight against, with their ignorant toxic behavior!
As you talked about politics:
I'm not American and I'm not even on the right. But I can't stand people like you, who call everyone racist and Nazi for not being as dumb as you. You are as much a cancer to society as those right wingers. You can keep those insults for yourself, your nation's glorification of ignorance and intolerance gas already done enough harm to the World.
No dude, I was talking about the person you replied to. I was saying Samhf's complaint smelled like dog whistle, not what you said. What you said made sense.
I guess nevermind though, wow. That's a lot of assumptions to make based on a misreading of my comment.
Shocker are literally the villains
I really wasn't expecting evil Sanji to show up in this show and the Shocker being real twist makes this show top 3 of the season
This episode caught me off-guard, I really didn't think this show would get this serious, I was expecting just some laughs out of some fight scenes but man, the aliens already had me hooked, and then, that manager with the dark past, amazing, this may be one of the most hyped anime for me on this season.
You are still suggesting someone is a Nazi for complaining... this is the only thing I took for granted, and it's not an assumption, it's based on what you wrote.
My mistake was thinking you were talking about me instead of the OP. So most of my criticism is still valid.
Just ignore the part about context and fascist salutes... That's for the OP.
No, none of your criticism of me was valid lol. You know nothing about me. I was literally agreeing with you, offering an answer to your question, and you flew off the handle because you didn't understand what I was saying.
I like this show. I like other media that uses nazi analogues for the bad guys. None of what you said applies to me.
There are people, right now, all over the internet, who will say things like what Samhf said, and what they really mean is that they're tired of seeing nazi analogues portrayed as the bad guys. Because they're sympathizers. But they don't say that part out loud.
If you think there is no problem with the rise in far right reactionary thought in the 21st century (and no, I'm not just talking about America - it's a global problem), then you've got the blinders on. If you think there is a problem with that, then we agree and shouldn't be arguing.
