Welcome to Kamen Ride Along, the show where Lan and Salt take our friend Keigen through the first episodes of every Kamen Rider show to date in hopes of finding one that'll have the honour of being Keigen's first fully-watched Kamen Rider show!

Each week we'll pit two (or three) shows' first episodes against each other to see which one interests Keigen more, and in the end, our victor will be the first show we cover for this podcast. Hop in the sidecar and ride along with us as we take this journey through the decades!

This week, we've got the original 1971 Kamen Rider series going up against its sequel, Kamen Rider V3. Which of these two shows will find a place in Keigen's heart? Will it be the handsome Hongo-helmed original series, or will our vicarious victor be V3?


For a playlist of every first episode of Kamen Rider, we've uploaded a playlist full of all the publicly available ones here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC6K8Vd1KCCV8pnNlqWka_GQBzjsgRH6l&si=pCPsXO--VfncnFhU
