01 is written on the front
Thanks to the introduction of the "Kamen Rider" series of special dramas in China in recent years, more and more people recognize this longevity program that is far away and has a history of half a century, and like this series, then, today, I will talk to all readers and friends about a few knowledge points about the "Kamen Rider" series, so that everyone has a deeper understanding of this series.
02 Showa knights of the Heisei period
The original Kamen Rider (original title: 仮面ライダー), produced by Toei Co., Ltd. in Japan and originally as manga artist Shotaro Ishimori, aired from April 3, 1971 (Showa 46) to 1973 (Showa 48), and its birth laid the following elements for subsequent works:
Compound
Transform into a belt
locomotive
Transformed into slogan: "Henshin"
It is worth mentioning that although Kamen Rider Kumi is recognized as the founding work of Heisei Kamen Rider, it is interesting that in fact, between 1989 and 2000, there were still several kamen rider works with the following works:
Kamen Rider BLEACK RX,
True Kamen Rider: Prologue,
Kamen Rider ZO,
Kamen Rider J
"Kamen Rider BLEACK RX" premiered in 1988, which still belongs to the Showa era in Japan, so it is naturally classified as "Showa Knight", and "True Kamen Rider: Prologue", "Kamen Rider ZO", "Kamen Rider J" are some OV works or big movies, and there is no complete personal TV series, so they are also classified as "Showa Knights".
In addition, among the kamen riders who were active in the early heisei years, Kamen Rider BLEACK RX pioneered a variety of morphological variations, and Kamen Rider J was the first Kamen Rider to be huge.
03 Kamen Rider who did not use the title "Kamen Rider"
Although the Heisei Kamen Rider series inherited the title of "Kamen Rider" from its predecessors, the overall structure of the story has changed a lot.
Looking back at the Showa Kamen Rider series, you will find that the style of each generation of knights can be described as similar, and the most obvious point is that the story as a whole revolves around the protagonist as a reformer and an evil force.
By the Heisei era, Kamen Rider was no longer a reformer, and the source of his power came from the Kamen Rider system inside the belt.
In addition, there is a very interesting phenomenon, there are several works that do not even use the title of "Kamen Rider" in the play.
as:
Kamen Rider Kumi, known in the play as Empty I, Unknown Lifeform, Number 4.
Kamen Rider Ringing Ghost is known in the play as Ghost, Ringing Ghost, or Sound Strike Warrior.
Kamen Rider Armor, known in the series as armored Rider.
From this perspective, since Heisei Knight, the connection between "Kamen Rider" and the plot is more like a spiritual bond.
04 All this is the "fault" of the emperor ride
As we all know, the current "Kamen Rider" as an annual, in early September every year will launch a new work, but some new friends may not understand, in fact, the "Kamen Rider" series of broadcast cycles have changed.
After many years, "Kamen Rider Empty Me" was launched as the tenth TV series of Kamen Rider series, and its arrival announced the "resurrection" of the IP of "Kamen Rider Series".
And because it started broadcasting at the end of January, since it began, the end of January of each year has become the beginning of each year's kamen rider new works, until the birth of this work, it broke this law, the name of this work is called "Kamen Rider Emperor Rider".
"Kamen Rider Imperial Rider" as a commemorative work for the tenth anniversary of the Heisei Kamen Rider series, in terms of ability, The Rider is the first Kamen Rider to be able to use the power of all the previous knights, and traveling through the world of kamen riders is also a major attraction of this game.
This 10th anniversary of Heisei Kamen Rider was customarily launched at the end of January 2009, but for various reasons, the total number of episodes of this work is only a short 31 episodes, and even the finale needs to be rubbed in the theater version, which is a model of bad ending.
On September 6 of the same year, "Kamen Rider W" took over the "Kamen Rider Emperor Ride", and in this way, the new broadcast cycle began, and because of this, "Kamen Rider Emperor Rider" became the watershed between the old Heisei and the new Heisei.
