while he definitely could've worded it better, i think simon bennett actually has a point about power rangers needing to move away from super sentai *dodges tomatoes*

i've lost count of how many times someone's posted the coolest shit i've ever seen from sentai, rider, or ultra, and all people in the comments have to say about it is "oh lol it's like power rangers". power rangers is most people's first impression of tokusatsu, and that's obviously not gonna be indicative of the wider genre unless someone actively chooses to dig a little deeper (which they usually don't)

stuff like godzilla, ultraman, and kamen rider came out of creatives using original, fantastical concepts to say things about the world around them, power rangers came about because an american executive found a cheap way to make half a show and sell toys. that's not to say the latter has never tried to be more than that or that the former is free from capitalism informing/hindering its creative decisions (lol.), but that's why one is an enduring media institution that's jumpstarted countless careers while the other is seen as "that one kid's show from the 90s with the goofy costumes. wait what do you mean it's still going"

a reboot that does something totally new is probably the only way for PR to dig itself out of that reputation with people who aren't hardcore fans. i think about how that voltron cartoon, before that became a shitshow of its own, was a huge hit with an audience who had zero nostalgia for the original show because it was trying to do more than appeal to the people who grew up with the original. similarly, you look at RTD's relaunch of doctor who and most of the things he brought to the series were basically sacrilegious to longtime fans. killing all the time lords, blowing up gallifrey, having the doctor KISS a WOMAN??????? the show's ruined forever now (still going strong 15+ years later)

and most important TO ME is that this is also a definite net positive for sentai too. i don't think it's a coincidence that right around the time toei ended their partnership with power rangers and hasbro we started to get huge shakeups to the series' formula with zenkaiger, donbrothers, and king-ohger, resulting in sentai's first year of being profitable since kyoryuger. they no longer have to consider how concepts will be marketable to an american audience as well as their japanese audience, which means we can do whatever the hell we want now. is that not the ideal scenario? i just don't see how the adaptation process is beneficial to either franchise at this point besides being tradition

Younger Siblings Tournament Bracket Reveal

A few things I want to mention before I reveal the bracket (and make the post really long because all the matchups will be listed in text):

Seeding of fictional characters in tumblr polls is inherently subjective. I did try to make it so that more popular characters/media would (most likely) face off against each other in later rounds, but I may be overestimating or underestimating the popularity of some characters/media, especially ones I'm not familiar with. There are some round 1 matchups that are probably a closer match but none of them are between the strongest candidates... I think.

The more niche characters will probably get obliterated in the first round as per Squimbus' Law. This is a tumblr poll and I do fully expect more popular characters to sweep, but that doesn't mean you can't encourage your friends to give your niche faves a fighting chance.

Also there are some matchups I literally just thought would be funny. Please don't take this too seriously.

I'm sorry BNHA fans.

Bad Things Happen Bingo(1/25)

Prompt:Doesn't Realize They've Been Injured

Series:Kamen Rider Tora(OC's)

Whumpee:Shiro

Caretaker(s):Yukio(Primary)and Sora

Warnings:None

Words:1,319

Summary:

The second that Sora looked up at him with a look of terror on his face,Shiro knows that he's in trouble.

7:54 PM

If you were to ask Shiro if he knew what was going happen that night,he would've said no.

No one would be able to predict what was about to happen.

Shiro had gone with Yukio to go and check out an area that Sora had told him about.Sora had said that he'd seen something that he'd gotten bad vibes from.Though Shiro was fairly sure that it was probably just a stray dog or some other wild animal,he wanted to go to reassure Sora.

Yukio had insisted on going with him,saying that he didn't want Shiro going to a place like that on his own.Shiro didn't bother protesting and just let him come along without a word.

Looking back,Shiro thinks that decision may have saved his life.

"Shiro,be careful you idiot!"

Shiro barley dodged the attack,rolling to the side and hearing a crash come from behind him.That was way to close.He told himself.

Long story short,Sora wasn't seeing things.There was actually something hiding in that area.

And Shiro and Yukio,despite their best efforts,were very caught off guard.

Yukio sprinted over to Shiro's side and helped him up."You okay?"Yukio asked,and even through the suit Shiro could the worry in his eyes.Shiro nods,though reluctantly."Yeah,I'm alright."He answered and Yukio's body visibly relaxed.

"Then let's finish this."He said and Shiro nodded in firm agreement.

And finish it they did,the monster seemed to barley be putting up a fight.But Shiro didn't notice it at the time,too busy being relieved that it was over and that he and Yukio could go back to Sora and tell him that they took care of it.

They both canceled their transformations and looked at each other,followed by a sigh of relief.

Yukio gave Shiro a tired smile."Let's go tell Sora the good news."He said and Shiro nodded,still panting heavily from exhaustion(or at least he thought that it was exhaustion at the time)."Yeah."Shiro agreed."Let's get going."

A Few Minutes Later

Shiro never felt so relieved than when he saw Sora waiting for then in front of the house.

Sora smiled widely in relief when he noticed Shiro and Yukio walking up to the house,running up to greet them."You're back."He breathed out,sounding more relieved than Shiro has ever heard him.

Yukio smiled and patted Sora on the head."Yeah,we're back."He told him.Shiro smiled at scene,feeling too tired to really add anything to the conservation.

Sora looked over at Shiro and smiled at him too,probably both relieved at both Shiro and Yukio at coming back(seemingly)unhurt and that his worries had been validated.

However,they were both about to be proven wrong.

As soon as Sora walked over to Shiro,his gaze went down to Shiro's torso and Sora's eyes visibly widened in terror.

The second that Sora looked up at him with a look of terror on his face,Shiro knows that he's in trouble.

After much hesitation,Shiro looked down at his hands(which seemed to be unconsciously covering his torso)and was met with the sight of his hands covered in blood.Oh.He bleatingly realized,not feeling as startled as he probably should've been.

Yukio looked over,flinching when he saw Shiro's shirt,torso and hands covered his own blood."What happened?!"He asked,clearly taken aback."When did you get injured like this?!"Shiro could only look at Yukio and weakly reply,"I don't..."Before his legs gave out on him and he collapsed into Yukio's arms.

The last thing he saw before everything went dark was the terrified expressions on Yukio and Sora's faces.

Shiro doesn't remember what happened after that.

A Few Hours Later,Local Hospital

11:17 PM

Yukio still had difficulty processing it.

How had Shiro been injured without either of them noticing?

Yukio doesn't think that he's ever felt so scared in his life then when Shiro's blood-stained body collapsed into his arms.

Sora had been the one that snapped out of his panic first to remind Yukio that they needed to get Shiro to a hospital as fast as possible.

They don't know how long it took for them to get to the hospital,but the second that they arrived the staff had Yukio place Shiro onto a gurney and wheeled him into another room.

After the staff left,Yukio stood there for what felt like hours(but was really only about a few minutes)before Sora pulled him aside.

"We need to sit down."He'd said,his voice as gentle as ever.Yukio nodded and let Sora guide him to a nearby seat.

Now here they were,Yukio sitting there in the hospital waiting room.Still covered in Shiro's blood and with Sora asleep next to him.

How did I not see it?Yukio asked himself.It was probably the hundredth time he'd asked himself that question that night.

And he still was no closer to finding out.

Yukio's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a door opening then closing and an unfamiliar voice asking for him.

"Yukio-san?"

Looking up,Yukio recognized one of the nurses that had wheeled Shiro away on the gurney.He cleared his throat."Yes Ma'am?"He asked politely.

The nurse looked at Yukio as calmly as possible."We believe that Shiro-san is going to be alright."She said and Yukio didn't bother to hide his sigh of relief.

She gave Yukio a small smile."He lost a lot of blood,but he's a stubborn one it seems."Yukio nodded with a smile."That sounds like Shiro."He replied,and the nurse looked at him with a smile."You two can go and see him whenever you like."She said before opening the door and leaving the waiting room.

Yukio felt a weight lifting off of his shoulders.Turning over to the sleeping Sora,Yukio shook his shoulder gently and slowly waking him up.Yukio smiled at the half-asleep Sora."Shiro is gonna be okay."He told him and Sora gave a tired smile in response.

"I'll go and call Mamoru-san to come and pick me up."Yukio was slightly baffled.Sora seemed to notice his confusion and smiled."You want to go and see him,right?"He asked,and Yukio already knew the answer.

A Few Minutes Later,Shiro's Hospital Room

"You idiot."

That was all that Yukio could say.Shiro looked small in the hospital bed that looked too big for his frail body.

The only other sound in the room was the occasional sound of the beeping of the machine next to Shiro's bed that Yukio didn't bother remembering the name of.

All Yukio could do was sigh.He didn't know what else he could do,holding Shiro's unmoving and cold hand with his own two hands."I know that you can hear me idiot."Yukio told him,though he knew that probably wasn't true."You better wake up soon."

Resting his arms and head next to Shiro,Yukio felt himself began to drift off.Looking at Shiro's unconscious figure Yukio gave him a tired smile.

I'll be waiting for you when you wake up.

The Next Morning

5:36 AM

Yukio was stirred awake by the feeling of someone touching his hair and a soft familiar laugh.

"You look so cute when you sleep."

Yukio lifted his head up at the sound of the familiar voice and was greeted with sight of a delirious,but very much awake Shiro.

"Shiro-"

Shiro stroked his hand,cutting Yukio off.He patted the empty space on his hospital bed."Come here."He told him.

After some reluctance,Yukio managed to lay down in Shiro's hospital bed,laying his head on his chest.

Shiro ran his fingers through Yukio's hair.

Neither of them said anything.And there was nothing that need to be said.

i just want to say i recently discovered you & love your art so much!! i only know kamen rider and twst on very surface level. but seeing that a game like ride kamens is gonna exist has me brainrotting like crazy. I wanna get in joseimuke games now haha. Any suggestions?

Cant believe we have only one more rider reveal for ride kamens... i'm personally hoping for specter but i have zero evidence besides the two horns. idk i just really like the suit designs from kamen rider ghost a lot so it would be super cool to see a ghost rep. though i heard ghost is a unpopular series in japan most likely not. Dang guessing these silhouettes are like "whos that pokemon" on major crack...

thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ I love that off-the-wall adaptations (if that's even the right word) like Twst and Ride Kamens can exist in this world. more media franchises need to make absolutely buckwild decisions like this.

(also DANG a Specter would be fantastic! especially Deep Specter, he would look amazing. 😭 I had mixed feelings on Ghost as a series but its designs went pretty dang hard Beethoven was criminally underused for how good a design it was. think of the hoodies! THINK OF THE HOODIES.)

I don't play a lot of games in general, so I'm pretty new to joseimuke games myself; if anyone else has any suggestions then please drop 'em in! :> if Twst is sorta your starting point, then the ones I tend to see brought up as ones that fans also play are Ensemble Stars, Uta no Prince-sama Shining Live, and Mahoutsukai no Yakusoku/Promise of Wizard. though disclaimer this is just based on what I've seen people talking about, so it might be outdated and/or not actually similarly-toned games!

#joseimuke games are serious business #i know obey me is also a big one that a lot of my fellow twsties play #but if i remember right that one has you romancing/being romanced by the guys so ymmv on whether you want that or not #(no shade just wanna be clear since i'm pretty sure all the others are romance-free)#(do correct me if i'm wrong!)#(this is literally just me googling like 'does (game) have romance' so i am not an expert on video game smooches)

Animage January 2024 Issue Kamen Rider THE WINTER MOVIE: Gotchard & Geats Gotchard Main Cast Interviews (translations below)

Publication: December 8, 2023

Clear it! The strongest Chemy catching game!!

In order to seal the 101 Chemies released into this world onto cards, Houtarou Ichinose (Kamen Rider Gotchard) searches for Chemies every day with his friends from the Alchemy Academy. One day, he meets Ace Ukiyo (Kamen Rider Geats) fighting against some Jyamato monsters. Behind the scenes is Chemy X Wizard, a level number 10 supreme wizard.

Kamen Rider's Winter film will be released again this year, featuring a dream collaboration of Kamen Riders from different series. The main highlight includes Houtarou and other Gotchard members, and Ace and other Geats members being divided into teams to take on the ultimate Chemy catching game. It's the unique charm of this work that features the familiar search for Chemies from Gotchard, and the characteristics of Geats, where Kamen Riders do challenging games, which have been "combined!" The dialogue between the characters of Gotchard and Geats that you can't normally see on TV is a must see!

The presence of Geats Chemy, who looks exactly like Kamen Rider Geats, is also a point of interest. Centering around X Wizard and Geats Chemy, the drama between humans and Chemies, which is the real appeal of Gotchard, is depicted on a scale that only a film can provide. What will the encounter with the new Chemy and Ace and his group bring to Houtarou and his friends?

Junsei Motojima (Houtarou) x Reiyo Matsumoto (Rinne) Fujibayashi Yasunari (Spanner) x Abe Oto (Renge) Rikiya Tomizono (Sabimaru) x Kumaki Rikuto (Minato)

"Double" the expected chemistry!

-Is Spanner, a mood maker, the complete opposite of the person playing the role?-

"The first quarter has passed since the broadcast started, what has the response been?"

Motojima: I feel that the number of messages of support have gradually increased. At talk events, there were those who would say to me, "I'm cheering for you," and those who brought support fans (uchiwa), and I think I'm starting to actually realize it myself. It makes me incredibly happy.

Matsumoto: I have the feeling that I'm gradually getting used to being on set. I'm now trying to expand my range of acting by taking on new challenges every day, and reviewing my own performance to see how I can improve it.

Fujibayashi: As the story progresses, there'll be more scenes that delve deeper into each character's individuality. My desire to see the stories we've filmed, including this film, as soon as possible has become stronger since the broadcast started.

Abe: Up until now, I haven't appeared regularly in dramas, so I was really happy, and when I heard a kid next to me on the train talking about Gotchard, I thought, "What a great response!"

Fujibayashi: Did they realize that you were Renge?

Abe: I don't think they noticed (laughs). I'll do my best to get them to notice!

Tomizono: At first, when I played the role I thought, "Who is Sabimaru…" But, as he interacts with Houtarou and the others, I gradually felt that I was building up my own image of Sabimaru's character. I'd like to carefully build up Sabimaru's growth in the future, and I want to do my best to make tablets more popular (laughs).

Kumaki: It seems that there are events at kindergartens and other places where they hand out Gotchard cards, and my friends send me pictures of their children receiving the cards. When I see this, I realize that I'm creating these children's dreams, and that joy is my driving force.

"For the photo shoot, we got the impression that Fujibayashi-san was at the center, and that everyone else had a relaxed mood, but is Fujibayashi-san also "in charge" of things on set?"

Fujibayashi: No, I don't think that's the case.

Tomizono: He's got so much energy, and I feel like he raises everyone's spirits.

Abe: That's for sure!

Motojima: Even when we greet each other at 5 a.m., I can't believe how energetic he is.

Kumaki: It's so early in the morning that everyone else isn't fully awake yet.

Fujibayashi: Lately, I've been paying attention to everyone's mood and greeting them in a calmer manner.

Everyone: (laughs).

Kumaki: You've become an adult, huh?

Fujibayashi: I've become an adult (laughs).

Motojima: But, when we're filming early in the morning, having Yasu-kun (Fujibayashi) around makes me feel more energetic.

-Appearing together with Geats, filming was peaceful from start to finish-

"In this work, Houtarou and his friends split into teams together with the members of Kamen Rider Geats to take on the ultimate Chemy catching game."

Motojima: It's interesting that we're teamed up with those who have similar personalities. Houtarou and Tycoon, Rinne and Geats, Spanner and Buffa. I think that because of our similarities, we can relate to each other, and there's some good "chemical reactions."

Matsumoto: I've been working with Kan Hideyoshi-san for a long time, and I was trying to take in things from Kan-san's acting that I could apply to Rinne. Also, Houtarou falling into a trap so fast was so funny, that I laughed during the test takes (laugh).

Motojima: When I read the script, I thought to myself, "That's just like Houtarou….." (laughs). I thought it was charming because he has a childlike quality that's different from the Houtarou in the TV show.

Abe: When we were filming, I remember that it was very windy (laughs).

Tomizono: The sandy beach scene of our capture game was the first scene filmed of the movie. The wind was strong and it was raining quite abit. Furthermore, Na-Go Chemy gets covered in seaweed (laughs).

Abe: That's right (laughs). I feel like alot of the scenes with Na-Go Chemy were filmed with lots of imagination.

Tomizono: There was also something about jet planes. It was fun to film.

Abe: We were the imagination team (laughs).

Fujibayashi: In that sense, Buffa Chemy and I were both part of the imagination solo team.

Tomizono: I guess so (laughs).

Fujibayashi: Both Spanner and Buffa's theme color is purple, and they also have slightly stuck up personalities, so when the film was announced, there were many people on SNS who were looking forward to us appearing together. The interactions between the two of them are very interesting, so I hope you'll look forward to it.

"In a scene with Kugimiya Licht, Minato was depicted in his teacher's attaire."

Kumaki: I remember well the first time I greeted Motomiya Yasukaze-san, who plays Licht. Despite him being about 4-5 meters away (13-16 ft), I felt an overwhelming aura that made me feel like he was right in front of me.

Everyone: (laughs)

Kumaki: I was alittle nervous (laughs), but once I gathered up my courage and greeted him, he was very kind to me. I felt a sense of security all at once, and performed with the intention of receiving advice from my senior.

"What's your most memorable experience working with the Geats team?"

Abe: There was a part where I could feel the experience of working on a project for a year. In a scene where a drone is used, Mokudai Kazuto-san noticed a mark (for where to stand) and asked the staff, "Is this okay?" We weren't paying attention to it, so it's amazing that he noticed it instantly and acted accordingly.

Tomizono: We'd never met before, but they created an atmosphere where we felt comfortable talking to them and had alot of fun. During breaks, we'd play games where you have to hold back your laughter. Kan-kun is also from the Kansai region, so we got along really well, and were able to film in a really friendly atmosphere.

Matsumoto: Everyone was very kind, and I remember that they talked to us alot.

Abe: It was easy to talk to them.

Fujibayashi: The two of you had a girls night out with Tsumuri (Aoshima Kokoro) and Neon (Hoshino Yuna).

Matsumoto: That's right.

Abe: We had some girl talk.

Tomizono: I'm sure you did.

Fujibayashi: What did you talk about?

Matsumoto: Things like painting nails, perfume and other stuff.

Motojima: To be honest, I've been paying alot of attention to my appearance lately, and I've been asking Matsumoto-san and Abe-san alot of questions.

Matsumoto: It's true

Motojima: When Tsumuri-san heard about this, she set up a prank for the makeup artists to teach me fake beauty info. I was completely fooled.

Everyone: (laughs).

Motojima: I also felt that everyone from Geats did things very freely. They included adlibs, and there's a scene where Ace says, "I'm glad I was turned into this," but it was interesting to see Ace say things in a way that he'd never do during test takes. I thought he was very good at keeping the atmosphere on set peaceful.

Tomizono: But, when it was a real take, it was really cool.

Motojima: That's right! There was an incredible difference.

-Becoming a level ... Chemy?!-

"In this work, the Geats members are turned into Chemies, but if you could become a Chemy, what would you want to look like?"

Fujibayashi: Because It's obvious what I'd be, I probably don't need to say it.

Motojima: What do you mean?

Fujibayashi: I could only be a spanner.

Matsumoto: Ah!

Tomizono: If not a spanner, what Chemy would Yasu become instead?

Fujibayashi: None, I can't think of anything else.

Tomizono: You've become Spanner Chemy. What do you do?

Fujibayashi: Loosen the screws in people's heads.

Everyone: (laughs).

Fujibayashi: Everyone becomes so stupid, that they forget how to transform and can no longer speak Japanese.

Abe: That's terrible (laughs). That'd make you the strongest, wouldn't it?

Tomizono: What'll happen if you combine with another Chemy?

Fujibayashi: Valvarad uses it, not Gotchard.

Tomizono: I see.

Fujibayashi: Sabimaru would be a tablet, right?

Tomizono: (laughs). As Tomizono, I'd like a Chemy that's really cool. Like a dragon, but softer.

Fujibayashi: Like something you'd find on a souvenir from a school field trip?

Tomizono: Right, like something on a keychain.

Fujibayashi: I think children would love that.

Tomizono: That's good. I want to appear like that as a level 10 Chemy.

Motojima: I want to become a level 100 Chemy.

Everyone: (laughs).

Motojima: I want to be treated like a legend.

Matsumoto: What would I be? Maybe a bird?

Abe: Ah!

Tomizono: Is that what you wanted?

Abe: I've been beat.

Fujibayashi: But, it depends on the type of bird.

Matsumoto: Hmmm…a crow?

Fujibayashi: A crow, huh? I'd like to own one atleast once.

Tomizono: People say they're smart.

Abe: They're said to have the intelligence of 5 year olds.

Fujibayashi: Well then, they're smarter than me.

Everyone: (laughs).

Tomizono: Is there a reason why you went with a bird?

Matsumoto: I think it'd be nice to fly across the open sky. The wind would feel great too.

Abe: You get it!

Matsumoto: And crows are cool, aren't they? That's why I want to be Crow Chemy.

Fujibayashi: Oto-chan, what kind of bird would you like to be?

Abe: I want to be a black kite.

Tomizono: A black kite?

Abe: When I was little, I remember them because they used to attack me alot when I went camping. When I’d be eating a meal, they'd suddenly snatch it away. They're agile, can fly, and they can enjoy scenery that we can't normally see.

Fujibayashi: I want to steal someone's food.

Abe: Right, right.

Tomizono: Really? (laughs).

Abe: I think black kite's are the strongest.

Fujibayashi: What about Kuma-san?

Kumaki: Because of Bumblebee, I like cars.

Fujibayashi: Ah, from "Transformers."

Kumaki: I think it would be cute if I were a Chemy that looked like Bumblebee.

Tomizono: Would you be a transforming Chemy?

Kumaki: Yeah, I'd transform.

Motojima: I think that'll be in the show sooner or later.

Kumaki: When will it appear?

Fujibayashi: It'd be alot like Golddash.

Kumaki: Ah! That's right!

Motojima: Then, it'll be like a car version of Golddash!

"We would love to hear more, but we'd like to conclude with a message from Motojima-san to our readers on behalf of everyone."

Motojima: I think the highlight is that the character's charm, which is different from the TV show, is brought out by interacting with the Kamen Rider Geats members. Many of the strongest level number 10 Chemies appear, and the development where humans turn into Chemies is also unexpected, it's unexpected plus unexpected twice expected…….it's like unexpected x2.

Tomizono: So double expected?

Fujibayashi: Are you saying…it's going to turn out to be more than expected?

Motojima: Ah, that sounds good.

Fujibayashi: You just said it yourself. You bite your tongue?

Tomizono: Did you mispronounce something?

Motojima: Well uh, it turned out to be more than I expected…

Everyone: (laughs).

Motojima: The unpredictable development of the story is appealing, and the fact that it features Chemies that can talk is also a key point.

Abe: Agreed.

Motojima: Please watch out for how Houtarou and his friends will interact with the talking Chemies, which have yet to appear in the TV show!
