#rintaro x mei

[pandaluver]

Since it's Valentine's Day, I'm going to share my main ships for different Kamen Rider Series. Going from newest to oldest.

1. Ace x Neon! Even though there has been a drought of content for them lately and the thing with Neon trying to frame Ace, they are still the only ship I have for this series.

2. Sakura x Hana! I know their relationship is considered sisterly and there's no chance of them being canon but I loved the heck out of their interactions.

3. Rintaro x Mei! Ngl they are the main reason why I continued to watch Saber.

4. Aruto x Izu! I swear if we don't get Aruto making Izu genuinely laugh at some point, I'm going to be even more depressed than I already am!

Didn't have any ships for Zi-O so...

5. The BEST MATCH, Sento x Banjo! The closet to canon gay ship in Kamen Rider History! One of my favorite scenes was when Sento was weirdly jealous of Another Build hugging Banjo in Zi-O

6. Emu x Kiriya! How could I not ship them with the number of times Emu has ridden Kiriya on screen? (If you get the joke, you get the joke)

I couldn't get invested enough in Ghost to remember the main cast names let alone come up with a ship so.....

7. Chase x Kiriko! I know Kiriko is canonically married to Shinnosuke with a kid but this will always be my main ship for Drive!

8. Kouta x Mai! I know they have each other’s company in a paradise of their own making but how are they not bored out of their minds on that planet?

9. Haruto x Koyomi! Let’s be real, they were basically married the whole series.

10. I'm ending this with my very first Kamen Rider Ship, Ryusei x Tomoko!

Anya at the Kamiyama Bookstore

Poor Touma. I don't think Anya would be interested much in books, considering how her little head is near-exploding just from her studies. I don't think she'd ever be interested in reading for pleasure (except maybe for stuff like manga/comics).

However, I do think Touma will be able to interest her in the bookstore's interactive storytime, especially if she gets to dress up as the daring super-spy Agent Anya. Together with her team of sidekicks (Bond, Chimera, Penguin, Ise, Touma, Rintaro and Kento) she saves the pretty princess from the clutches of the evil villain (idk who, maybe Ren lol)

Loid would probably not appreciate Touma and co going along with Anya's hyperactive imagination, but even he can't begrudge Anya's happiness so he lets it slide... for now

[akiyamastar]

Rintaro has got to be one of my favorite supporting characters in Kamen Rider (and one of the ones with some of the most unused potential btw, but that's just how I feel about Saber even though I'm attached to the show), solely because he's just some Cringefail Guy. I mean this in a good way, but dear god he is cringefail.

From initial impressions, you might think that he's going to be that classic "you are not worthy of x power" guy to Touma, but he turns out to not only be super chill about it, but he's just so obliviously straightforward, and seriously way too kind rather than the classic uptight deuteragonist. He is just a guy. He also knows absolutely nothing about common things at first, he's loyal to a fault, and there are sometimes no thoughts in his brain. I could rattle him around and not hear a thing in there.

Also I know what is canonical in relationships but I must aroaceify everyone. Rintaro is aroacespec to me. I do like his dynamic with Mei though, since they're a silly dynamic duo and they really get each other and it feels natural. It's kind of surprising because from what I've watched so far, I usually pretend that romantic relationships don't exist in the tokusatsu I've seen so far. I'd say this is one of the better ones, although I do enjoy the dynamic more than the romance? <- guy who is aroace as hell and makes everyone aroace.

Overall though, Rintaro is a silly guy I like him

「 YAMAGUCHI TAKAYA INTERVIEW 」

My package from Japan came around two days ago... I was reading the Bungo x Kengo book last night, I suddenly remembered Yamaguchi Takaya's interview that I have re-read a few weeks ago... so, here I am translating Yamaguchi Takaya's 2020 interview.

「 YAMAGUCHI TAKAYA INTERVIEW 」

"Kamen Rider Saber" will start broadcasting on September 6th (Sun). This is a long-awaited second work of Reiwa Kamen Rider for tokusatsu (special effects) fans. It has a sacred sword as a motif, and expectations for full-scale sword action are increasing. We asked Takaya Yamaguchi, who was selected as Shindo Rintaro / Kamen Rider Blades for "Kamen Rider Saber" about his thoughts on this work.

“I want to make a work that many people, regardless of age, can relate to”

── Yamaguchi has been casted in the long-running "Kamen Rider" series. What were your feelings when you heard that you had passed the audition?

When I heard from the manager that I had passed the audition, I was so happy, I was like, "yossha!" (yes!) (Laughs.) It was the result of all my hard work, so I thought I should first give myself a praise. But when I thought about it calmly again, I was sobered by the fact that I was about to step into a great work of art. It will be a chance for many people to get to know me, and I felt that I had to do my best.

── Many actors try to audition for "Kamen Rider" every year, but did you feel that you had a good response after going through the various audition screening process?

I wasn't sure how I would respond, but I knew that if I didn't pass this audition, there would be nothing left to do. To be honest, I was thinking of giving up on this job if I didn't get it. That is why I was determined to take my time, concentrate, and work as hard as anyone else for this audition.

── Yamaguchi plays the role of Shindo Rintaro, who transforms into "Kamen Rider Blades. Shindo is a "water swordsman" who belongs to the Sword of Logos, an organization that protects the balance of the world.

He is very stoic about swordsmanship and a very talented person. There are many strong people who belong to Sword of Logos, and he has lived his life being rubbed by them, so he has confidence that he is strong. However, I had never been to the world where the main character Kamiyama Touma (Kamen Rider Saber) lives, and all I knew about it was what was written in books. He is a serious person, but he is curious about everything and there are some differences with other people, so I think this aspect of him is interesting.

── When we asked him what he was conscious of in his portrayal of Shindo, he gave us a surprising answer.

I'm often told by people around me that I seem to be out of sync to begin with. (laughs) It seems that in the middle of a conversation, he suddenly turns serious and asks a different question. So I think that part of me is similar to him, so I hope I can get the word out in a good way. He also likes to read books, but I have not read many books so far, so I am currently reading a variety of books thinking that if I get used to reading books I will be able to get closer to him. I also think he is training every day, so I also go to the gym to work out. I wonder if I could understand his feelings more and more by doing what he usually does and what he likes.

── What was your impression of "Kamen Rider Saber" after actually working on it?

The staff around me are all professionals because it's a work that lasts for a year. The cameramen, director, assistant director, and others who have filmed previous "Kamen Rider" series are all professionals who create "Kamen Rider". That's why I feel like I am blending in. Right now, there are still many scenes with just me, Naito Shuichiro who portrays Kamiyama Touma and Kawazu Asuka who portrays Sudo Mei. However, we are communicating with the cast and crew and it was a very passionate scene. We are so absorbed in the work that we sometimes forget to eat our meals. (laughs)

── The relationship between "Kamen Rider Saber" and "Kamen Rider Blades" is one of the important highlights of the story. How did you build a relationship between Naito-san, who portrays the role of "Kamen Rider Saber?

I'm embarrassed to say it myself, but I think I get along well with Naito-kun. (laughs) I have known him for a long time, and I knew he would be at the audition site. I felt safe with him, and his presence helped me a lot. I heard that Naito-kun and Kawazu-san were also acquainted with each other, so I feel that the three of us were in good balance. In addition, Naito-kun and I often end the shoot together, so we discuss each other's bad (points) of the day so that we can make the use of it next time. I am still new to acting, and I am still being guided by the people around me. So, I am sure that if we spend the next year together, we will become friends for life.

── When asked about the transformation scene for "Kamen Rider Blades" he said that the first transformation scene was filmed just the day before the interview

I was finally able to transform, so it felt like "I became a kamen rider!". In my transformation pose, I have to hold and turn the sword with one hand and it's actually difficult to do it so, I practiced a lot with the guidance of the Action Department. Thanks to that, I think I was able to get it right on the filming day!

── Yamaguchi will be looked upon as a hero by children for the next year but what is your own idea of a hero?

I think a hero is someone who can sacrifice himself. I think the coolest people are those who do something for others without being noticed. I think a person who can work and sweat for others without forgetting to thank them is a hero, and that's the kind of person I want to be."

── Finally the end (of the interview), we asked him again for a message to the fans who are eagerly awaiting the broadcast of this work

I want to make this a work that will be embraced by Kamen Rider fans and of course, also for people of all ages. And since one of the concepts of "Kamen Rider Saber" is to help people resolve their worries during this self-restraint period, I hope to encourage people even if they can't go out. I will do my best from now on so that you will say, "This is the best kamen rider of all time!". Please look forward to it.

Heroine Holiday (Chapter 1)

Characters: Hidden Male character x Asuka Kawazu

Words count: 2,1k words

Enjoy!

Today outside the beach is extremely hot, and the hotter it gets, the more people come to swim on the beach to cool off, but too much sun makes some people feel uncomfortable, me included. Asuka is different though since she likes summer vacations like this the most. I don't know if it has been a hobby since she was a child, but whenever it comes to summer like now, she asks me to go to the beach for a long time. And this time also closed Kamen Rider Saber, so she wants to go to the sea more than ever. As soon as she finished packing in the hotel, she was ready for a black bikini with white lines like brush strokes. A two-piece bikini is enough for her to go to the beach and enjoy the wind without being discreet enough. Around this area, there are many white wooden tables and chairs placed all over the lawn right in front of the beach, with quite a few tall trees, so the shade is also wide.

"You are not going to the beach, are you?"

“Do you see me ever going down there? It's just you running around on the beach all day!"

"Come on! You have to let me play as much as I want, right? I have to wait so much until I can rest like now!”

"I also let you play as much as you wanted every night, but with me in the bed!"

“Well, the moon is still not here though! Come on, I'll put on sunscreen and come down there! Then tonight will be ours as usual, OK?"

Then she kissed me and then sat with her back to the white wooden table to make it easier to apply the cream on the leg area. Her back is still amazing because every time I push her Doggy style I get to see it without missing a second! But what is Doggy's biggest highlight? That's right! It's the butt because that's where I put my dick in and shot her inside, and her ass is just too good to do it. And there's her tied up the hair too, though it's nice to grab them when you thrust her from behind her hair is so short, I wish it were as long as it used to be. That was my first warm-up, and after she finished applying sunscreen all over her body, she ran straight down to the sand and played happily down there. She was always like that, always liked to soak in the seawater. I still sit on the white wooden couch, holding the cookbook that I take away just for nothing because the main purpose of my every trip is to see her body and then eat her when I can't take it anymore. She also called me down a few times, but I refused because I don't like this weather anyway.

That night…

"Oh my God! The food here is amazing, isn't it, honey?”

"You've been eating here sometimes before and you're still praising that much?"

This is not the first time we choose this Resort to rest. But for Asuka every time was like the first time with food. But no matter how much she eats, her body remains intact like this. For her to eat comfortably like this was also to give her the strength to moan for as long as possible tonight. After eating, it's time for the next level tonight: Swimming. Seeing how she has such an attachment to water, why did the producer create a relationship between Rintaro - Swordsman of Water, and Mei played by Asuka. Anyway, back to the infinity pool on the 27th floor, still wearing the same bikini from the afternoon, she got back into the water and swam back and forth. Then she went to the edge of the pool and pushed her whole body up with her hands to see the whole city, once again her ass came into my view, this time they were clearer than when she was sitting on it. the white table outside. This time, my stamina couldn't save me any longer. I walked over to her, picked her up by her armpits, and carried her straight to the bed

"It's only the beginning of the night! Do you want to do it all the time?”

“Must do it now! Because you're hungry too!"

A light kiss begins and is followed by long, deep kisses. Her lips are still the first place I want to find. Her body was still covered with water from the pool, an entire bed was soaked. The sweetness of her lips combined with the clear drops of water from the waters of the swimming pool combined perfectly.

"Hey! Let me go first, okay?"

"My pleasure!"

Asuka turned me over and sat on top of me. She put her butt on top of my dick and started twirling her butt around it, she watched my cock and also watched my expression, then she leaned down and started kissing and licking all over my body from top to bottom but still not forgetting to continuously stimulate my cock in different ways. She kissed my boxer shorts with my dick erect, hard to bear when she was so stimulated all the time.

"Look! Your little brother has low endurance!”

"You know what to do, right?"

“Of course, honey!”

She slowly took off her boxer pants and continued to stimulate my cock with her hands before taking it into her mouth, this time her hands moved to stimulate my balls. Her lips may not be thick, but her mouth is very wide, always hugging my cock. She moved her mouth up and down, occasionally looking at me with interested eyes

“Asuka! You always…do it...well!”

Hearing that, Asuka nodded with satisfaction and resumed her work. She gradually increased the speed of the movement of her mouth, the sperm streams were gradually waiting at the tip and just waiting to be fired.

“Asuka! I… I'm ready to cum!”

“Shoot, honey! I want them!”

The signal has been given! A large wave of sperm was shot like a machine gun into her mouth, she swallowed them bit by bit and slowly savored the wonderful taste. She licked her lips again to clean the few drops of milky white that were still flat there. I took the opportunity to lift her to my level and then rollover

“Now it's my turn! You make me shoot once and I'll shoot you twice!"

I pressed her down again as we had at first, and we continued with another kiss, a gentle kiss that brought her mouth back to its favorite whining job. kisses scattered from her neck to her cleavage and I took turns sucking on her breasts, and she moaned and puffed her breasts up to bring her breasts into my mouth more. The other side of the nipple is also well taken care of. The kisses continued down to her stomach and stopped at her unbuttoned panties.

“Fortunately, I haven't done anything with you this afternoon! Now I'm ready to make you the happiest girl tonight!"

“Come here, honey! Make me orgasm please!”

The panties were quickly taken off and mercilessly thrown away, her pussy was now oozing, small drops of fluid oozed out, and began to drip onto the bed. But it was clear that was not the time to eat her. So my hand started caressing her cunt while my mouth started to find her thighs to lick. Those juicy thighs combined with some very first stimulations on her cunt are the perfect warm-up before doing anything to her crotch.

“Hurry up…don’t just touch it…um…I can’t stand it!”

"That's what I want!"

That's enough playing around! I started licking her cunt, occasionally licking long lines up there and around. After licking the outside, my tongue began to go inside her cunt while my tongue took care of sweeping every nook and cranny while I continued to suck her cunt. Her body seemed to go crazy and numb with each of my sucks.

“Kimochi, honey! Hurry up and help me cum!”

I sucked harder, causing her to moan louder, the amount of fluid leaking out more and more. My hands were still stroking her thighs while her hands wouldn't stay still, sometimes clinging to the bedsheet, sometimes pressing my head deeper into her. Now the room only had the sounds of "Ah", and "Oh" taking turns coming out of her mouth. My hands moved from her thighs to her buttocks and squeezed them hard.

"That's right! Stimulate me again! I'm going to cum!"

I squeezed her back and slapped her ass hard, and then a hand went up to squeeze her breasts. Once stimulated in all areas of her body, Asuka couldn't hold it any longer, the fluid spewed out from her cunt in a rush and showed no sign of stopping. I kept burying my face in her cunt and caught the fluid one by one, swallowing it over and over again. By the time Asuka was lying there panting, there was only a little bit of fluid left around her cunt, I licked it off and crawled up to face her.

"So what? Tired yet?”

She shook her head as if to speak because she was still gasping for air after having just shot so much fluid out.

“You gave me energy just then! And now I'll use what you gave me so I can fuck you all out tonight!"

I put my still very energetic dick into her cunt and started right away with very strong smashes, she was so surprised that she screamed loudly and then went back to moaning as she should. The sticky sounds that seemed to have stopped came back and became even louder than before. The bed also shook violently from my very strong strokes. Her chest rose again as if inviting me to suck it too. Of course, I couldn't refuse the offer, so I lowered my head and put one of my nipples in my mouth to suck, but this position was quite difficult to do both, so I wrapped my arms around her back, and then lifted her whole body, let her sit on my lap while my dick was still firmly on her cunt, the thrusts continued. Now that my face is facing her breasts so sucking on them has become a lot easier, but that doesn't mean I reduce the force of the clicks, it's just that instead of me punching her directly, I press her cunt. her into my cock. While I was suckling on her left breast, the other was taken care of by both her hands and mine.

“Come on Asuka-chan! I'm about to cum for the first time!"

“Hurry up…you said twice…please cum…I want you so bad…Ah”

She combined my lower body with my hands, making the force of the clicks much more powerful. And it didn't take long for me to shoot her first round of sperm. I didn't give her a chance to breathe, but immediately pulled my dick out of her cunt, turned her around, and let her kneel on both hands and feet, preparing for my all-time favorite ending - Doggy. I shoved my dick still with a little bit of her fluid on her butt and started nudging her again with hard thrusts. I grabbed her hip and nudged her from behind.

“Just then this ass made me unbearable! It deserves to receive my punishment!”

Then I hit her hard on the bottom, not just once, but repeatedly, making her moans more pleasurable.

“That's right…punish it…hit me more honey…ah!”

I continued to pound her ass but still didn't forget to increase my force to push my dick into her butt. It wasn't until her butt was red that I reached for her breasts to squeeze, and then her hair to pull like the reins of a horse.

“Oh, Asuka! I'm going to cum!"

“Hurry and shoot, honey! But then don't stop either!"

I shot the second round of sperm, Asuka now also had no strength so she lay down on the bed even though I continued to lie on top of her to smack her ass. She lay there moaning and I shot two more rounds of sperm before hugging her and lying there panting with her. We kissed a few more times before we both went to the bathroom to clean up and go to bed.

Several Shades of Sadism + Tumblr Zodiac Signs [02]

[pandaluver]

I finally got around to watching Kamen Rider Saber and I'm seven episodes in and....I don't love the show but I don't hate it either, the suit designs are kool, Rintaro is my favorite character so far and I high key low key ship him with Mei...Is that a thing?

Also, I don't think Caliber is Kento’s father. In episode seven they hid his face as he was transforming and whenever he would fight Kento he would say "I have no quarrel with you!" So that means either Caliber has some crazy scar or something that the writers don't want to show off yet or Kento’s father is either missing or dead and the guy in the suit is responsible for it.

[asknarashikari]

I just finished the Senki Block which includes:

1)Saber Special Chapter:OT4 vibes this ep were great, quite large.

Then there's whatever the hell was happenning beteeen Touma and Zox.

My favorite bit:

"Have you gone insane?"

"Yes, we have"

Also Orihime!Touma x Hikoboshi!Kento.

2)Zenkaiger episode 20:the Shindais really mesh better with the Zenkaiger cast.

They work better as the Comically Serious rather than whatever the hell sorta roll they had in Saber since Ryoga's introduction.

Reika/Magine FTW.

3)SUPER HEROOOOOOOO SENNKIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!:It was a much better watch this time, because I downloaded it rather than watching on Kissasian, where it was uploaded with the audio of the aid for the blind version.

I did not enjoy that it ignored the Special Chapter and Zenkai Ep 20, acting like the Riders didn't meet Zox and the Shindais didn't meet the Zenkaigers.

Kento should have worked alongside Red Racer in the Final battle, to show he did interact with the Carrangers when he was sucked into their book.

Sayonara, Onodera Shotaro-Sensei.

May the Riders always look to you for Guidance.

It was good to see the Zenkaigers again.

I've missed them, so even if this was something from the past that I've already seen for them, it was nice.

I'll only see them next in DonBrothers VS Zenkaiger.

4)Kamen Rider Revice:The Movie(prologue):not a bad watch.

It helped me Believe that I would enjoy Revice once I'm done with Saber.

Now, Onward to the last 9 episodes of Saber!

1- Special Chapter was a hoot from start to finish. The shenanigans was sublime XD It was also some much needed comedy right before shit went down in the Saber main plot.

Also, Rintaro being Kento's inflatable cow...

KenTouma was probably the best part of the episode... or was it ShuichiRyo? Sometimes I can't tell anymore. One of them posted a video on Tiktok where they were in costume but not on set, and they were... uh, very affectionate.

There were also these videos on Toei's YT for the tie-in with Superhero Senki where the Saber cast were competing against each other in a laser tag-type game. Ryo Aoki captained one of the teams and when he named Shuichiro for his first pick, Shuichiro squealed and ran at him to glomp him. It was wonderfully gay of them.

2- Yeah, the Shindai sibs were definitely way better in the Zenkaiger crossover in their own show. Ken Shonozaki clearly had a lot fun playing off of the Zenkai cast's shenanigans, and Angela Mei's enthusiasm for Magine was self-evident.

3- Well, the Special Chapter and the Zenkaiger episode were always meant to be their own thing, not really tying into Senki. Most of the Spring crossover specials, back when they were a thing, were like that too- none of them really tied in to the Taisen films.

Yeah, it was a little disappointing that they didn't show what happened to Kento after he got sucked into the Carranger book... though that already had some other stories mixed in as well- Drive and Black, iirc. I'd like to think he was actually in that other world where he, Luna and Touma all grew up together, and where his dad was alive- which would explain his resistance to Touma returning things to the "normal" world. (Also, Ryo was so damned handsome in that sequence... I was simping the whole time)

Tbf, it also wasn't shown what happened to the other Zenkaigers aside from Kaito after they disappeared either. And Zox just shows up out of nowhere, lmao.

Honestly them including Ishinomori-senshu in this movie was kind of a brilliant move, and seeing his interactions with Touma and Hongou-san made me cry a little, ngl.

Also. Saber roll call scene. Fuck me, why don't they do this in Rider more often. It was amazing.

4- I didn't actually watch the Revice short movie, but from what I gathered it's not canon to the show because it and the first episode contradict each other in terms of how Ikki got his powers.

the five chances you give him (5)

pairing: suna x f!reader

note: this is the last chapter! i hope you all enjoyed :)

summary: suna knew that he was doing something wrong, but he refused to acknowledge it. therefore, you slowly dropped five major hints for him, hoping that he would notice them and take action to fix your broken relationship. suna really did notice them, he just didn’t figure out in time that you were actually going to leave.

part five: rin became rintaro; then it became suna

"oh baby... nobody said that it was going to be easy." mei cooed, her voice softer than usual. she repeatedly kissed the top of your head as you cried into her lap.

"i k-know but.." you spoke through your sobs, snot along your sleeves. "i-i really hoped t-that he would ch-change.."

it's been just over two months since you've started changing your behaviour around rin, but he didn't seem to react to it—no, he may have changed, but only a bit. it wasn't enough.

you knew that this was unavoidable, and that it had to be done. the longer it takes for you to get this over with, the longer it will take for you to get over it.

so when mei sent you home that night, she reassured you that it will all be worth it in the end, and that you will find someone better.

but the fact that he was waiting for you at the same table that you used to wait at, every single night, didn't help at all.

"where were you?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.

you stood there for a second with your shoes still on, and folded over with laughter.

his heart flutters. whens the last time you laughed in front of him?

"sorry," you sniffled through the laughter, the aftermath from crying earlier doing you no justice. "it's just that i used to sit in that same chair, waiting for you to come home, you know?"

hesitating for a moment, he decided on getting up and walking over to you, although he didn't know what to do.

"y/n." he's looking down at you now, resisting the urge to reach out and take hold of your hands.

"rintarou."

now that caught both of you off guard.

it slipped out without a second thought on your end, and you were visibly shocked.

as was suna, except he was more afraid than anything else. he knew what this meant—he was no longer rin to you, but rintarou.

he should be grateful though, because he knew what eventually might come next. he knew that it wouldn't be rintarou for long, and that as soon as it changes, it would be over; everything would be over.

"were you crying?" he whispers, reaching out to wipe at your tear stained cheeks. except you wouldn't let him, grabbing his wrist in time. God—mei would be so proud; as would that kind lady from the cafe.

"why should you care?" you spat, letting go of his wrist to remove your shoes.

"because im your boyfriend." he said, although you didn't miss the quiver in his voice from that last word, as if he wasn't so sure anymore.

you move past him and head straight for the bathroom; but suna didn't miss it. he heard what you mumbled on your way out—and it had him slumped against the wall (when you were out of sight, that is)

his fists are clenched and his heart is beating a little too fast, but he can't get his mind off of what you said.

"yea, well not for long"

five words, and yet they seemed to foreshadow his future.

-

there were two possible reasons that you could be waking him up at 10 in the morning.

you were either waking him up to tell him that it was over, and that you were leaving, or that it was over, and that he had to leave.

turns out there was a third reason.

"do you have practice today?" you asked, your voice a whisper.

"yeah.. why?" he got up into a sitting position, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. its been a while since you last entered this room, moving all your things to the guest room.

"oh. nevermind." you make a gesture to leave but he panics and grabs your arm. this could be an opportunity, and he wasn't about to lose it.

"i could um.. take the day off." he nods his head.

"are you sure?" when he nods his head yet again, your features soften.

"okay, well get dressed. i feel like going to a theme park."

you leave the room before he has a chance to answer, but he complies anyways.

his mind wanders to the picture that he broke in the heat of the moment awhile back—the one where you were both smiling at an amusement park, kids laughing in the bakground.

-

"let's go on that one!" you exclaim, pointing at the rollercoaster.

a soft grin takes over your face—and while it may not be your typical energetic one, at least it was still there.

now, suna wasn't a big fan of rollercoasters. he prefered to have you go on them, while he took the photos, but today's been the first time in a while that he's actually seen you happy, and he wanted to keep it that way.

you've been here all day, and it was already pretty dark, so they might be closing soon anyways.

when the cart had finally come back around, you and rin got on, with a guy slipping in on your side.

"you guys here together?" he asked, looking over you to make eye contact with suna.

you nodded, and he chuckled.

"im here with my girlfriend, but she doesn't like roller coasters as much as i do."

now you and him are making small talk, and suna is resisting the urge to tell the guy to shut up, and to go back to his own girlfriend.

when the ride finally starts, he feels relieved, even slipping his hand into your own.

your hand tenses, and he looks up to find a look of guilt soaked into your features.

he quickly unravels his hand from yours, settling it into his lap and looking away. he got too carried away to remember that a day of rides and fun wasnt enough to fix his mistakes.

as the ride starts climbing upwards, fear pumps through his veins.

he shuts his eyes, dreading the fall.

when it finally came, he opened his eyes and hugged himself to keep from screaming.

he looks over to you, and his heart does that thing again—it flutters.

with your hands in the air, your screams adorning his ears, he fell in love. all over again.

the moonlight caressed your pretty features as your eyes shut in pure bliss, and suna found tears falling out of his own.

the tears fell but he didn't sob—not once. you didn't look his way either—not once.

instead he looked away, quickly wiping the tears before someone could catch him. he missed this; he missed you.

when you two got off the ride later, he wonders if you would ever go to another theme park with him.

-

when you decide to leave, suna finds an employee walking around the park with a polaroid camera.

he asks him to take a picture of you, and places it in his wallet. he can't break it this time.

suna misses the look of guilt that slips past your face, as if it were never there.

-

when the car pulls into the parking lot, and you both get out, suna realizes that you weren't walking beside him.

he panics and turns around, where he finds you smiling. tears in your eyes.

"thank you for today, suna."

he freezes. he can't move anymore. he can't think.

"don't be silly. let's go inside." he's walking again, but when he doesn't hear a second set of footsteps, the tears wash over him.

"why aren't you coming?" his voice cracks as the tears stream down his face.

"i'm going to mei's. it's-it's over." you smile, wiping continuously at your eyes.

"y/n please, we can talk about this." he's running over to you, taking hold of your shoulders as he bends down to make eye contact. "we're fixable, okay? i promise we are." he doesn't make move to wipe away the tears that are falling.

you wipe away his tears, pulling him into a hug. "i'm so sorry."

he wraps his arms around you and holds you tight, afraid of having you slip out of his grasp. "please, don't leave me. i'll do anything, just give me another chance. i need you."

you wriggle out of his arms, and his fists clench at his sides.

"i gave you chances. i gave you too many. i have to go."

you're running now, and he can't decide if he should run after you or not. has he not caused you enough pain?

instead, he falls to his knees and cries.

that was it. he lost you—he lost everything.

the polaroid picture was burning a hole through his wallet.

-

when he finally musters up the courage to check the guest room a few days later, he sees all your things packed up in boxes.

you had it all planned out, didn't you?

-

when mei comes later that day to pick up your things, she finds suna curled into a ball on the guest room floor.

"suna. wake up."

his eyes open slowly, and she finds them red, his eyebags puffy and cheeks tear-stained.

"is y/n gonna come back?" he asks, his voice nothing more than a whisper.

mei shakes her head, and suna cries again.

she looks away, thanking the heavens that she wasn't in a relationship. she couldn't help but pity him as she collected her best friend's things, suna's sobs as a sort of background noise.

she couldn't be surprised—the lost of your entire world was enough to make any grown man cry.

-

heartbreak isn’t easy, but suna’s heart hurts without you. where he sleeps, where he bathes, it all reeks of your touch.

you’re everywhere here, all memories playing back to him like a movie. he’s reminded of you, and recovering addicts don’t test themselves; they dont stay around said addiction to see if they can restrain themselves.

and so suna moves out, running from the place that you’ve drenched in your presence.

he leaves the polaroid picture on the table.

Mina-san, bonne lecture~! (Tsuki recaps his feelings about Kamen Rider Saber, a personal essay.)

So, Saber... what a wild ride it's been, huh? Just a quick heads up, this is very long and rambling, and also contains spoilers for everything in Saber. It's fine if you don't wanna read all this, but I just wanted to get my thoughts out there.

TL:DR, Kamen Rider Saber's an undercooked hot mess I absolutely adore, warts and all.

Speaking as objectively as possible, it's a 6/10. Probably closer to a 5 than a 7... it's not great: All the different plot elements are cluttered and weirdly paced; character focus is disjointed and clearly biased toward certain characters, leaving great ones like Kento and Ogami, interesting ones like Kamijo and Hayato, and underdeveloped ones like Sophia and especially the Shindais in the dust; not to mention its balance of comedy and drama is off, and while both are very effective, there's a lot of mood whiplash that can take you out of the story. I also feel like a lot of the easily avoidable character conflict could've been easily resolved, even in universe, by simple conversations. Be careful Fukuda, I think Inoue might sue you if he finds out you've been biting his style and doing it worse.

Rider shows have a very frustrating tendency to drop cool form ideas and not do anything with them, and I don't think it's ever been more the case than with Saber. There's a similar argument to be made with the majority of Heisei Phase 2 after Gaim, but wow. The suits are expensive to make without just straight up recycling everything, I get that, but man, I really wanted to see more Wonder Rider forms. How come Touma got all the fun, eh? Of note are the Blades King of Arthur forms (which look amazing by the way), Espada's Jaaku Dragon forms (one of which I even drew last night), even the non-elemental random Wonder Ride Books all have awesome design elements that go tragically unused. Even if the other Swordsmen just kinda have the ones they do get to use slapped onto them, that's at least something. Touma also just straight up only uses Diago Speedy twice and never again. You have cool props guys, don't waste them like that!

Speaking of waste, Espada, goddamn. Since most of the Wonder Ride Books are Story Type and he needs one very specific Story Book to transform, he doesn't get much of... anything, really! No Wonder Rider forms like Blades, Lamp Do Cerberus being exclusive to Ganbarizing, only getting to use the Ride Gatriker like once, he even spends the second and third arcs as a completely different Rider, then once he comes back he doesn't get a King of Arthur-granted upgrade or even a Necrom Espada form. ...at least, not yet anyway. I'm holding out hope for Espada x Necrom and the eventual Saber V-Cinemas. Extra Rider stans, we will be well respected someday.

The Unreal Engine CGI used for fights in early Chapters was pretty good but wow it feels disconnected and they really drop it quick. I feel like if the animators had more freedom to use as many forms as they want, we'd have gotten a lot more mileage out of the books beyond... decoration basically. I actually really liked the CGI sequences, they felt creative and were fun to follow along with.

The soundtrack is pretty great on its own and conveys what it needs to, but they seriously overplay the orchestral themes. It honestly feels kind of... stock at times. I think my favorite parts of the score are when it winds down, since it feels a lot more natural and lets the cinematographers and actors speak for themselves.

As awesome as I think Falchion's design and the Mumeiken Kyomu are, The Phoenix Swordsman and the Book of Ruin comes up short as its own standalone thing. You'd think 30 or so minutes of non-stop action would be awesome, and it almost is? It's as good as a typical episode of the series with a higher action budget, but it kinda drags on a bit too long; and although I think Emotional Dragon looks cool, it feels a bit tacked on. Coming off of the incredible Zero-One REAL×TIME, it doesn't give you much room to breathe, which Rider films are typically great at handling. I also thought the resolution for the kid's subplot was kinda forced. He does an okay job at acting considering his age and doesn't overstay his welcome, but I really don't see how 20 minutes of violence and action is enough to convince him to be brave enough to go play with the other kids. 5/10, it's closer to a 4 than a 6 and I think that maybe Zero-One should've stood on its own if they really had to push back Kiramager Bee-Bop Dream because of the pandemic.

Alright, with all that said... As imperfect and undercooked Saber was, like Ghost I can consider it a personal favorite, 10/10. Call it a guilty pleasure if you want, but holy hell it's just the show I needed. Takuro Fukuda has a talent for creating fun, wonderful characters and utterly fascinating worldbuilding and concepts. It's a shame he doesn't utilize them fully, but hey!

The action and fight choreography are pretty top notch as usual. Lots of beautiful shot composition and set pieces, and plenty of great angles to help keep up with the extra busy action. I love watching the suit actors perform and they deserve all the respect in the world for their hard work in those hot, sweaty, and heavy costumes. Their visual design is also top notch, with lots of unique and fascinating forms and cool weapons I desperately want to play with despite being broke, all with spectacular finishers and hype jingles with the voice of Akio motherfucking Ohtsuka calling them out. A real feast for the eyes. Not a single bad suit among them, yeah I said it, fight me.

The crossover specials are soooo good too.

-I went over my feelings on the Zenkaiger crossover episodes in a separate post (good luck finding that btw), but to sum it up, they were great character moments for Zox and the Shindai siblings with lots of great screwball comedy and some good old fashioned meta humor.

-The Ghost crossovers are great little side stories all about how Daitenku Temple somehow had the Ghost Ijunroku Wonder Ride Book? I genuinely have no idea why it was there, or how Makoto had the Specter Gekikou Senki, and as far as I remember neither of their origins are explained. Did Luna or Tassel hand them off to them and told them to wait for a sword guy? And why do these generic French Revolution Gamma villains working for Danton get their asses handed to them so easily by Kanon, who literally just became a Rider? I thought that Makoto deciding to adopt all the Kanon clones into his family was both hilarious and adorable though; considering all the crap they went through, I think it was a good ending to this plot. Gimme Espada x Necrom already Toei/Bandai/Fukuda/whoever I need to yell at, give Kento things to do, I beg you.

-I haven't actually seen Super Hero Senki since it's not available for subbing yet, but apparently there's a Journey to the West plot starring the Taros and Ohma Zi-O and I want to see that so badly.

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra? Yoohei Kawakami? A match made in heaven, that's what they are. All of their themes are absolute bangers. All of them. Almighty, Kamen Rider Saber, Sparks, Taju Rokou, all excellent and empowering pieces. Rewrite the Story, Will Save Us, and The Story Never Ends are all amazing inserts done by the cast, and it makes me wish we had even more of them to help break up the monotony of the score.

The characters are what easily make this show such a great watch though. For the most part, they have great personalities and chemistry, consistently fun and interesting scenes, well acted and... sometimes well-written development, and deeply investing personal stakes.

Narrating it all is the delightfully eccentric Tassel/Viktor, portrayed by Romanesque Ishitobi "TOBI" of the Paris-based Les Romanesques. I was utterly confused by his presence at first, wondering why there needed to be a narrator when the story would've been perfectly fine without it. He even got a special spot in the opening despite having no stake in the plot despite seeming to live in Wonderworld, who the hell is this guy? But then I thought "OH MY GOD, HE'S THE MAIN VILLAIN USING TOUMA AS THE HERO IN HIS OWN TWISTED STORY, THE BASTARD". I thought it'd be some subversion of expectations, true form, "That Was His Mistake!" shit. Trust me, it made a lot more sense in my head. I'm very happy that they didn't do that, as I grew to love having male Yuuka Kazami as my narrator, and when he was shown to be actually important by being friends with Yuri my mind was blown. And doubly so when I realized just how deeply necessary to the plot he really is.

Rintaro/Blades is up there as one of my all time favorite secondary Riders, since his curiosity is always consistently funny and adorable, his forms are all gorgeous and impressively designed, his relationships with Mei and Touma are absolutely sweet and compelling to see unfold, and his arcs about becoming willing to call out those he views as family and coming to terms with his feelings of inadequacy and both moving past and using them to strengthen himself are always great lessons to pass on to kids. ...even if they took like 10 goddamn episodes to be conveyed in what could've been 5, but hey, Takaya Yamaguchi does a stand-up job all throughout. Rider veteran Eitoku's refined, almost logical movements with the Suiseiken Nagare absolutely beautiful to see in action, and his final form having the same white and blue color scheme as Zooous's base form is an amazing touch I don't see appreciated enough.

Mei Sudo's also absolutely wonderful, serving as the perfect emotional core of the story, responsible for most of the funniest lines, sweetest character moments, and some of the most deceptively compelling drama. Asuka Kawazu brings the perfect energy for such a dynamic and well rounded character, and absolutely nails her scenes of quiet turmoil. As much as I would've loved her to become a Rider, I don't think she really needed to. She's already done so much to help, and as cool as it would've been to see her pick up a sword and fight alongside them as Espada, Calibur, or Falchion she's already endeared herself to me as one of my favorite supporting characters in the whole franchise.

I can't get enough of my homeboy Kento Fukamiya/Espada. Like Rintaro and everyone else for that matter, he also suffers from Saber's pacing issues; and like his predecessor Valkyrie from Zero-One, he doesn't get a proper upgrade aside from his Wonder Combo, instead becoming an anti-villain using a completely different powerset and shifting the Raimeiken Ikazuchi out of focus for the Ankokuken Kurayami, and I feel there's a serious missed opportunity to see him use Jaaku Dragon with Alangina. However, Ryo Aoki's performance is probably among the most easily praiseworthy in the whole cast, managing to convey both Kento's kind and knightly stoicism as Espada and his emotionally unstable despair as Calibur perfectly, in conjunction with Yuji Nakata's experienced and expressive stuntwork.

Ren Akamichi/Kenzan's a dark horse favorite for sure. I remember back when Saber was first picking up, people hated this breezy mad lad for being such a simple character at first. Overly concerned with strength? Black and white world view? Annoyingly energetic? Agh, real-feeling character flaws, I hate them, get him away from me! But then y'all came crawling back. Eiji Togashi's apparently a bit of a rookie actor, and it really shows with some stilted delivery and the way he sometimes bobs his head when giving his lines, but man he improves dramatically as the series goes on. His inexperience ironically ends up really selling his character development, and his unexpectedly beautiful relationship with Desast is special evidence of that. The Fuusouken Hayate's three modes and Satoshi Fujita putting them to excellent use through his stellar acrobatic movements are also really cool.

Why did Luna have to be a child for so long? Does Wonderworld not age whoever inherits its power? Well since Luna randomly becomes an adult in Super Hero Senki and some of the final episodes, I guess so? Miku Okamoto does a fine job for a kid actor, but she's basically done all the heavy lifting for the whole series and doesn't give Mayuu Yokota enough time to get a feel for her character as an adult. How did she choose Touma to inherit the power anyway? Does she just subconsciously decide to trust him with it upon seeing how kind and passionate about storytelling he is? Well if that's the case, why didn't Kento get at least some of that power too? He's just as important to the merchan- I mean Luna-chan, isn't he? Why did Tassel pick her over someone who isn't a literal child who'd be understandably terrified about basically becoming an embodiment of storytelling?

Sophia also kinda suffers from the same problems. Rina Chinen's voice is very pleasant to listen to, but she doesn't really do much beyond serving as a source of exposition and support. I think her dynamic with Mei's adorable, and given her kindness I can certainly understand the respect Northern Base has for her, but she doesn't really contribute a whole lot. If she could use the Kurayami and become Calibur all this time, then why didn't she take it from Kento and Yuri and do so earlier when Kento decided to go back to being Espada? I know she's not much of a fighter and as the closet thing the Sword of Logos has to a leader after Isaac's death I'd understand not wanting to put her at risk, but considering Storious is destroying the world, and she's very evidently kicking a lot of ass in the first part of the final battle even in the basic Jaaku Dragon form, I think it would've helped a lot, just sayin'. Tassel at least has the excuse of being unable to interact with the real world, but Sophia obviously didn't just be put in charge of Northern Base just because she's a pawn in Isaac's plans right?

Ryou Ogami/Buster is also a victim of the disjointed character focus. I have no problem believing he's an excellent father and fighter thanks to Yuki Ikushima and Jiro Okamoto, respectively, but he feels a bit flat and simple in comparison. His rivalry with Desast is randomly dropped, his wife doesn't even show up until the final episodes, he's kinda sidelined in terms of action a whole lot. I imagine that must've sucked for the Rider Dads out there. He does get to star in his own manga, and that was pretty good, so I guess I can't be too mad.

Tetsuo Daishinji/Slash fares better though. Hiroaki Oka, being a Kamen Rider fanboy himself, manages to make him among the most relatable characters in the series. Not only are his hyperfixation on swordsmithing and anxiety played surprisingly believably, Hirotsugu Mori letting him cut loose is extremely cathartic and hilarious, and you really feel for him when the Onjuuken Suzune becomes the first victim of Calibur!Kento's sword sealing.

Yuri/Saikou's another dark horse favorite, for me at least. "Oh great, Avalon guy's got even more merchandise to sell, I wonder what his Sword of Light is- it's himself. Well... that's different." I admit, I didn't like him at first. He felt like he was there to fill out character dynamics in the absence of both Rintaro and Kento, I thought his gimmick was too silly even if his design and jingles were bangers, I didn't particularly care for his power set. But then XSwordman came around I totally got it. He's an endearing, hard-working man trying his best to catch up on all the cool shit he missed, unafraid of experimentation, ready to throw down at a moment's notice, serving as a wonderful bit of consistent support for our heroes, a truly knightly individual, an absolute Chad. and goddamn does he make me worry. Tomohiro Ichikawa, I salute you good sir.

Even if they fall short compared to the rest of the cast, the Shindai siblings are at least cool enough to not wanna write out entirely. They kinda devolve into comic relief after they become allies, something that villainous Riders from Chase onwards are very prone to doing, and it's especially awkward in their case because I think that they kinda get off scot-free for obeying the obviously sinister and crazy Isaac for so long, as well as driving a wedge between a lot of people and threatening children in Reika's case. I think their sibling dynamic is nice though, even if Fukuda recycled it from Makoto and Kanon and has some... questionable possessive undertones as a result. It's cool how they're basically foils to Touma and Rintaro though. The dispassionate and methodical Reika/Sabela is beautifully played by Angela Mei and her moments of emotional depth are fascinating to watch. Her Rider form is a thing of beauty, and its use of literal the Eneiken Noroshi's smokescreens and Yuki Miyazawa's precise and deadly stinging strikes are a joy to watch. And while Ken Shonozaki's not given the best direction as the undercooked plate of 7-Eleven fried fish that is Ryoga/Durendal, he manages to sell him as an experienced and hardened warrior with an awkward side that's especially evident in the Zenkaiger specials. His goddamn RWBY weapon that is the Jikokuken Kaiji is absolutely sick, I'm a sucker for transforming weapons and its combination of time and water powers is really cool, especially with Yasuhiko Amai's deliberate and forceful acting in the suit.

Daichi Kamijo/the Second Calibur, for as brief as his story was, was a pretty cool starter villain. Hiroyuki Hirayama brings this poor bastard to life in a genuinely touching way. I love how as Calibur he goes full force on his creative use of Wonder Ride Books for attacks, and his debut as Jaou Dragon got my blood pumping. His end is also deeply tragic, and I really felt for him when he realized just how badly he fucked up. Hayato Fukamiya also does wonders for the backstory, and while he also doesn't get much to work with, Mitsuru Karahashi makes his regrets and love for Kento feel genuine.

Legeiel and Zooous are both very intimidating and entertaining villains. On top of being just the right balance of goofy and threatening, Kairu Takano and Koji Saikawa's stage presences are both very strong, and their mixture of camaraderie and in-fighting is extremely believable. Zooous's rivalry with Rintaro feels incredible to see through to the end, and although Legeiel doesn't get quite the same treatment, Elemental Dragon had such a cool debut that it more than makes up for it. Their final fights are also absolute spectacles. I don't think their sympathetic angle works even close to as well as it does with MetsubouJinrai or even the Gamma, but I get it, power corrupts, and you probably feel a lot of sadness and regret for things you've done when you die unless you're a right bastard.

Isaac/Master Logos/Solomon is kinda generic. As wonderful as Keisuke Soma is, he doesn't get much dimension to work with. The result of that is while he nails being as smug and punchable as possible, he feels almost... comically generic. Genta Umemori from Shinkenger was full of personality! He was also basically some guy, but he was fun, he felt connected to the rest of the cast! Meanwhile the only real time we get to see Isaac's depth is when we see him crying over his failures. I almost appreciate him being unapologetically evil though, since I've seen way too many shows where redeemed villains get off scot free for way worse things, and some where they outright demand you to sympathize with them despite them doing nothing to warrant it.

Bahato/Falchion surprises me by not just being a movie villain whose actions affect the main plot, but also being a movie villain who actually gets to appear in series as a recurring threat! ...and it's not a particularly great showing on his part, sadly. Masashi Taniguchi does a wonderful job with what he's given, but his character feels like a retread of Eternal without any of what made Katsumi Daido a compelling and frightening villain. I'd like to believe Yuri when he says that he used to be a good person and a hero to the people, but I can only hear so many anime villain monologues about the pointlessness of life and the beauty of destruction before I can never take them seriously again. ...I think that's his biggest problem, actually. I thought he was an overall uninteresting and generic villain in the movie, and the cartoon nihilist he's shown to be in series is only a small step up. He still feels like filler. If only there were a far better written and much cooler villain who takes on the Mumeiken Kyomu after his de--

Desast is probably one of the finest anti-villains I've ever seen in recent years. On top of an absolutely badass character design and the excellent combination of Kazuya Okada/Danki Sakae's suit work and Koki Uchiyama's stellar voice acting, his story being so thoroughly intertwined with Ren's makes their shared journey and bromance a borderline Shakespearean tragedy. His struggle for identity despite Storious treating him as nothing more than a failed experiment and the Sword of Logos treating him as a mere monster really gripped me, and the way he uses what little time he has left to encourage Ren into blossoming on his own is absolutely beautiful. I think his enmity with Ogami is criminally underexplored in series, considering he killed several of the previous Riders and how Ogami's in desperate need of screentime.

Then there's our main villain, Kamen Rider Storious. Robin Furuya brings an incredible amount of charisma to this character, expertly portrayed as both a sinister, manipulative bastard , and as a lonely, tragic figure that arguably makes him feel even more villainous. Speaking as a struggling writer myself, it's easy to feel stuck in the idea of "fuck it, who cares, maybe everything is predestined", but I can't imagine what it's like to know that as the truth and carry it with you for all that time. All of your grand ideas have roots from your experiences, and you're not the only one who even could have those experiences. It's easy to just fall into despair and give up trying, but would that make you happy? Sure, Storious is sadistic, he may be fulfilling his goals, he may be ungodly powerful... but it's not enough for him, is it? All of his friends are gone, one of them even at his own hand, he probably doesn't have any idea what to do after he destroys all the world's stories, Touma even reached his full power before he did, and his downfall is so predictable that even a blind person could see it. He even seems to welcome it, what's up with that? But then I realized... OH MY GOD, HE'S THE MAIN VILLAIN USING TOUMA AS THE HERO IN HIS OWN TWISTED STORY, THE BASTARD. He's so far gone, he's so desperate to stick it to the Almighty Book, he's willing to twist the archetype of the Hero's Journey so hard, it snaps in two. What I think is interesting is that he's ironically trying to chase the trend of "edgy superhero story" that became super popular in the 21st century. The Boys, Brightburn, Kamen Rider Amazons, The Sentry, No More Heroes, Magical Girl Site, even mainstream comics from DC and Marvel... Surely Storious must've seen the cruelty and tragedy these stories are filled with, but he chooses to go through with trying to force the world into this direction anyway. Did they, along with seeing the ever-popular tragedies of legendary playwrights and bleak satire of the twentieth century fuel his despair?

And yet... there's one who stands in determination against his ideals.

Our hero, Touma Kamiyama, the titular Kamen Rider portrayed by Syuichiro Naito and Kousuke Asai, he speaks to me on a personal level. There're plenty of jokes to be made about his procrastination in early chapters, his godless fashion sense, and him doing the funny run up the slope, that's all fine and dandy, but I rarely feel so connected to a character the way I did Touma. The struggle to create, find companionship, live your life, reach out to others... these're things a lot of people struggle with, and of course you see them depicted a lot in media about creators, but Saber gets to the root of what the greatest thing about storytelling really is. Giving people hope, while using the pain of the past as fuel for the future. Sure, Storious may be right about how every story has been done as far back as human civilization gets, he may even be right about how any spin or creativity humanity has is outright predestined. It should be pointless to even try, right? That's where Touma Kamiyama disagrees. He didn't spend all that time fighting and creating just to give up at the idea of predestination. His novel writing-fueled creativity in his early training, his devotion to his friends that let him surpass Kamijo as Dragonic Knight, his compassion for the Primitive Dragon that let him combine their powers to destroy Legeiel as Elemental Dragon, his resolve that let Xross Saber dethrone Solomon, and his passion for the craft of storytelling that let our heroes channel their wishes into Wonder Almighty... all stemming from the belief imparted onto him by his predecessor that "Hope lies beyond your resolution." And that you decide how your story ends. He may not be the greatest Rider to some, he may be as lame as others think he is, he may not even be my favorite, but I have no issue calling Touma Kamiyama... Kamen Rider Saber, one of the all time greatest carriers of the Kamen Rider name.

The final chapter's definitely not as great as some other Rider finales, but goddamn. Primitive Dragon consciously choosing to save Touma is so sweet and such a great emotional payoff, I loved jamming out to the opening theme while our boys lay the smackdown on Storious. Wonder Almighty's a fitting final bit to close the main series out with, if not exactly a great one. I think the cover is great, and the book's body is a lovely shade of candy apple red, but I really don't like how its pages are just the covers of the other books copy-pasted onto onto the pages, that feels lazy. Maybe if it were a panorama of all the books' characters, I'd like it a lot more as a symbol of how unified the Swordsmen are, but eh, what can you do? On a related note, does this mean all the "last episode extra final forms" of the Reiwa Era are gonna be named after their series's opening? That's a neat idea.

I felt a lot of feelings seeing all those video messages of Rider fans all across Japan talking about their favorite stories, and how their passion and fond memories help reshape the world. Mei's monologue at the ceremony about is also really touching and- IS THAT A HUMAGEAR!? :O

Y-yeah dude, it is! Wow, where have you guys been for the past 48 episodes?! Are you guys doing okay? How come you're like... the only one here? Is the technology of Hiden Intelligence only really that prevalent in that very specific metropolitan part of Japan and they're just not coming around much over here? Is it like Dragon Ball where anthropomorphic animals are just vibin' with humans while the heroes are off kicking ass? Apparently he's played by Hasegawa Keiichi, who wrote this episode and had the award ceremony named after him. ...is Hasegawa Keiichi a HumaGear in this universe then? Did he set up this award ceremony in Touma's honor? If so, why is it named after him? Did reading one of Touma's books lead to his Singularity? I know this is just a cameo, but... god, I have so many questions that probably will never be satisfactorily answered.

Overall, if I had to compare Saber to anything, it'd probably be Sam Reimi's Spider-Man trilogy. It's awkward, stupid, overwrought, undercooked, illogically written, scattershot, cheesy as fuck, and has a tendency to squander its otherwise fine execution; but the sheer passion for storytelling, sense of spectacle, deeply fascinating characters, and belief in the ideals set forth by the cast, crew, and fans are absolutely admirable. Improvements would certainly make it an overall better experience, to be sure, but there's something deeply captivating about how wonky this series is. Seeing everybody get their happy ending after all they've been through felt extremely gratifying though, and I may have to wait another for the epilogue to and then wait for Revice, but... man. I'm hella proud of our awkwardly-emoting, fashion disaster novelist and all of his heavily flawed friends for carrying the Kamen Rider name on to the future. Here's hoping Revice will keep it going.

Alright, that's everything I wanted to talk about. Sorry this was so long and ramble-y, I had a lot to say. I'll probably be liveblogging Revice as episodes of that come out, so... look forward to that, I guess. See ya.
