Rider Tears

The suit acting and fight choreography in Kamen Rider My-Th 07 are so freaking good that I almost forgot about the story! From My-Th's slippery, mouse-like movements and Muton's clever hammer work to Fang Fukashigi's spinning attacks and Maou's overwhelming strength, this episode is an incredible showcase of tokusatsu athleticism and creativity. I also want to give some well-deserved appreciation to the performers and action team making it all happen.

Kamen Rider My-Th 06 is impressing me with its surprisingly sophisticated storytelling! Sora's scientific approach to understanding the Fukashigi, the subtle characterization of Vanken, Mutn, and Asao, and the growing mysteries surrounding the Zodiac Alliance are giving me plenty to think about. I'm really enjoying how this show combines thoughtful ideas with engaging tokusatsu storytelling.

Kamen Rider My-Th 05 digs deeper into Yuna's dependence on the Seed Eggs while giving us a much clearer look at the very different personalities inside the Zodiac Alliance. Between Vanken's surprising nobility, Jyao's aggression, my growing suspicions about Kamuri, and the questions surrounding My-Th's ability to save Fukashigi victims, I'm really appreciating how naturally this series keeps revealing its mysteries without rushing to explain everything.

Kamen Rider My-Th 04 has me increasingly convinced that Sora and Yuna's shared past, their families, and the unusual mechanics behind My-Th's transformation aren't separate mysteries. They're all connected, and the emotional story of these characters may be inseparable from the mythology behind My-Th itself.

Kamen Rider MY-TH 03 makes the Zodiac Alliance feel less like straightforward villains and more like a rival school with its own philosophy, while Yuna and Shiori give the episode some surprisingly strong emotional weight. I also dig into Rid’s introduction, the cat-themed action, and why some of that action worked much better for me than the rest.

Kamen Rider My-Th 02 won me over in ways the premiere didn't. The mysteries are taking shape, Sora's remarkable abilities are getting some explanation, and the relationships between him, Yuna, Asao, and the Zodiac Alliance are becoming much more interesting. Datt brings some welcome personality to the action, and the Ride Eggs are already showing their tactical potential. There's still a lot I don't understand, but now I'm having fun discovering it.

Kamen Rider My-Th 01 has ideas I genuinely like, from the tactical use of My-Th’s mouse abilities to Sora and Yuna’s dynamic, but the premiere feels bulky, effects-heavy, and visually underwhelming. The ideas are there. Some of the execution is off, and unfortunately, My-Th 01 was a miss for me.

Kamen Rider Zeztz 50 gives Baku, Nem, and the others a surprisingly happy ending while arguing that dreams can overcome nightmares without pretending those nightmares will ever disappear completely. I love the finale's cycle of hope, Baku finally coming home, and the future it gives these characters, even as ZEZTZ's new role protecting humanity leaves me with some frustrating questions about how Nightmares actually work. The worldbuilding may be soft, but emotionally, this ending works for me.

Kamen Rider Zeztz 49 brings Nem back, brings Oblivion back with her, and moves several other major pieces into place for the finale. I liked the episode, but more than anything, it left me ready to see Zeztz come to a close so we can finally understand exactly what this story has been trying to say.

Kamen Rider Zeztz 48 actually went there with Nem, and I have very conflicting feelings about it. Her choice saves the world, fits the “Nightmare Messiah” idea I've been seeing in her story, and feels genuinely heroic, but the way her sacrifice is framed also makes me deeply uncomfortable. Is there a meaningful difference between sacrificing yourself to save others and erasing yourself because you believe your existence is the problem?
