@the-evil-pizza replied to your post: Does that make wwx and lwj honorary tokusatsu...

WWX is the red ranger (he’s as much as a mess as the other ones anyway) and LWJ is the white one, a-la Tsuruhime though, he’s a prince and the actual leader of the group

yes yes absolutely

jiang cheng is the Angry One just like in canon

but also if they were kamen riders u KNOW wangxian is boutta have a combination form a la sento/banjou’s rabbitdragon 

[tokupedia]

These forms use the Hazard Trigger, but are essentially the purified versions of what a Hazard from should be in a stable condition using advanced variants of the two base Fullbottles that Sento has the highest compatibility with.

As RabbitRabbit, Build has super agility and speed combined with Mr. Fantastic stretchy spring limbs! As TankTank, Build has high power and defense and can change his legs into tank treads to outmaneuver his foes!

His weapon is the Full Bottle Buster, a sword that turns into a cannon!

I wonder why'd you think that Keiwa not having a berserk form would be a proof of him staying kind and not sinking low compared to other cases? Because I thought those main Riders aren't culpable in what those berserker forms do (outside of probably Sento), the berserker form's actions outside of their control, and the main Riders like Touma always behave like their usual kind self outside of that form, thus they never actually lose themselves to darkness as it's completely separate.

Well, to me none of the characters in question had to suffer in such a manner to prove themselves above the darkness or whatever.

Across the board, berserker forms do represent Riders at their lowest point, psychologically and emotionally. It's not just the trauma the form itself causes, it's a physical manifestation of the Rider's mental state. When they come to terms with their issues, or otherwise resolve them, the berserker form also "resolves" itself.

Like, Sento got his berserker form when the war broke out and he blamed himself for it because he created the Build system. When he found his resolve to end the war and prove that science can be used for good as much as evil, he got RabbitRabbit/TankTank. Touma got his in the aftermath of Kento's "death" and his supposed friends, the SoL, abandoning him. When he earned back the trust of his allies and got Kento back, he got Elemental Primitive Dragon.

My take on it? You don't need the berserker form to show that. You certainly don't need to pile even more trauma onto the Rider before they decide to stuff it and do as they always do.

Just show it in the story. Just have them as they always are. Have them fight the good fight. Against all odds.

Yes, overcoming a berserker form effectively shows them as good people, but there are other ways to show the same resilience of character, without putting the character in such a situation.

It's just that they won't do it, because ~trauma~ makes for "good drama". And of course, berserker form that turns into another form = more toys to sell.

Also, while they certainly aren't culpable for what they do while their faculties are compromised, that doesn't mean they won't blame themselves like it is their fault anyway. Why do you think Sento spent a good chunk of the war arc damn near catatonic?

Right now, Keiwa is at his lowest point. He just watched his sister and his friend brutally defeated and their dreams cut short. His own dream is on the line. He wants justice for everyone who was killed in the DGP- and it's personal, because his parents were victims. Is that a guy you want to see getting a berserker form that will add on to all the pain and suffering he's already been through?

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Genius Form finally confirmed for release

After many years of pulling appearances at conventions, Kamen Rider Build's final form Genius has at last been confirmed for an S.H. Figuarts release. Featuring high levels of details across his body for all 60 of the Fullbottles on it, Build Genius comes with his Fullbottle Buster - exactly the same as Rabbitrabbit and Tanktank's - and is promised to come with a bonus Hazard Trigger part if a campaign reached over 6000 retweets on Twitter, which it already has.

S.H. Figuarts Kamen Rider Build Genius releases as a Premium Bandai exclusive in July 2022 for 9,900 yen; with pre-orders to begin tomorrow.

Did you know Genius Form isn’t in this movie? RabbitRabbit is the true final form

[watchathon]

Kamen Rider Build, Episode 39: The Unstoppable Genius

Hello, and welcome to the Watchathon, a blog where I (try to) watch an episode of TV every day, with a blog post where I write down my thoughts afterwards.

And now that the introductions are over with, here’s my thoughts on Episode 39 of Kamen Rider Build:

One last time (for Build himself at least), let’s start out by discussing the new upgrade form:

Genius Form is... okay, I’m just gonna say it, it’s not the best-looking. The bright white and silver, and having every FullBottle on his arms and legs, it’s pretty clutteres. Not a very elegant way to present the raw power of Pandora’s Box. Not that it’s awful, but, RabbitRabbit is still probably my preferred powerup form of Build.

Onto story stuff:

If last episode gave us a look at what sets Katsuragi Takumi apart from Kiryu Sento, this is where we see the full picture. Katsuragi explicitly dismisses the entire idea of having trust in even his friends as something straight out of a children’s manga, ambiguous thinking with no rational basis, as a result of how Gentoku once betrayed his trust.

Meanwhile, thinking back to the very first episode, Banjou Ryuga was an absolute stranger to Sento and yet he still believed he could be innocent, saving him from capture by Gentoku and the Guardians. Let alone how much trust he had in Banjou once they grew closer as friends.

But when Katsuragi Takumi is back in control? He sees Banjou solely as a part of Evolt who could turn back into him at any moment. The way he sees it, it’s best to kill him before that could happen.

Even the stuff that they have in common is different. The remarks comparing Banjou to a monkey are delivered less as playful ribbing and more as an irritated statement. The delivery of Sento’s “Am I not great? Am I not terrific? Am I not genius?” phrase once he finishes development on the Genius Bottle is infinitely less enthusiastic.

But the biggest thing, that Banjou points out near the end? Katsuragi Takumi lacks Kiryu Sento’s sense of justice, and we can presume his sincerely and strongly held belief in love and peace. Sento fought to help people, to protect them. That was his biggest priority, it was what made him fight as a Kamen Rider before he even had a clue that Evolt existed.

Katsuragi doesn’t have a shred of that. He’s not the hero that Sento was, so much as he is an anti-hero who simply wants to destroy Evolt.

And all of these, combined... it makes you miss Sento. Between his time possessed by Evolt and the time with Katsuragi in the driver’s seat, you start to truly miss the narcissistic, egotistical, and righteous superhero.

And that just makes it all the more satisfying when Katsuragi lets the personality of Kiryu Sento take over again, and you hear his voice give a playful remark about Banjou being the supporting cast. When Sento, back in action, does what Katsuragi just couldn’t and activates the Genius Bottle.

It certainly brought tears to my eyes, especially with Be The One playing as the insert song.

A lot of things have changed but my love for the RabbitRabbit suit has stayed the same

I just saw a picture of it and it's so - magnificent to look at...maybe I could use it as the basis for a blog decoration...

[shikkokunohaoh]

so primitive dragon seeeems to work with the base brave dragon form, which kinda makes it like hazard? i wonder if they’re gonna pull a rabbitrabbit and have a new book that specifically works with primitive dragon

[veeranger]

build’s final form ride is he turns into the big rabbit or the big tank from rabbitrabbit and tanktank

[bwprowl]

Dang Kamen Rider Build’s penultimate forms were great. The Max Hazard base form and its RabbitRabbit/TankTank over-armors facilitated some brilliant story points, and they all looked amazingly cool to boot. The first of that super-but-not-quite-final-form set, RabbitRabbit, has officially had its SH Figuarts product page unveiled, handily making the old BCR action figure set look like chumps, and working hard to encourage some serious set completion. If you’re a fan of some of the best segments of Build, or just cool-concept bulky Riders in general, this is an appealing one. Looks like they’re already previewing TankTank right there in the promo images too.
