Kaiju no Kami Reviews - Kamen Rider Drive (2014) Series 

If Drive was a Reiwa Era season, Kiriko definitely would have become a Rider at some point. And its nice to know the Leader of the Seatopians was able to find a new lease on life after the whole "Jet Jaguar" incident and decided to start making motorcycle based Rider powers instead.

Shinnosukes quirk with his tie actually makes sense. Having a sort of "ritual" you perform before doing certain tasks can actually help you to focus better an said task. There are multiple psychological studies in that regard that even proofed this. I sadly have forgotten the scientific term for it though.

I mean......god. I don't know where to begin with this show, because I LOVE it so much! I won't lie I was doing a drumroll of worry in my head towards the end of your video regarding the grading, which I do agree of it having a 4/5. It was for all the reasons mostly. Drive hasn't had me this excited for a Kamen Rider series since W, OOO, Fourze, and Gaim. Also, what made me especially happy with the show was that the Police got to be a big part in a lot of stuff, whereas they were deemed incompetent in previous shows (Save Kuuga and somewhat Agito). Also also, the group had me laughing so so much in a lot of episodes! I forget which, but I had to stop one episode for a moment to recover because my ribs were hurting from so much laughing lol And damn, they pulled through when it mattered in very serious moments! Thank you for doing this review! This show means a lot to me personally, so I'm glad to have other fans talk about it :)

One more thing to note is the reason why they didn’t do a crossover with double voice because back when I think wizard Phillips actor signed a contract with a different company that prevented it from coming back which is sad because double is my second favorite season😢

Absolutely love drive’s opening theme and drive easily has one of my favorite rider kicks

@22:06-22:16 Fun fact: the Tony Stark-looking Roidumde is the actual actor who voiced Mr. Belt in the show.

Cool review bro

I heard so many good things about this KR series so hope it's good

I definitely had a great drive watching this show. It took me 2 viewings to truly like it as i couldnt really get into it back when it but after a couple years of it ending, i decided to revisit it. Shinosuke and Go are just a delight from start to finish with Heart being one of the best villains in the entire franchise. Chase definitely started to be really great in the second half.

Shinnosuke and Kiriko could've been an Rider duo together as Kamen Rider Drive 1gou and Drive 2gou, like the very first Kamen Riders (1gou and 2gou) and like Kamen Rider Revice, yeah, i know it was made in the Reiwa Era, but let's imagine those two became a Kamen Rider duo together, just saying.

Did you hear it... it said I can go. Go's arc with his father is badass

If Fast and Furious was MEANT to be, a superhero show. That what I summarized this series

This is one of the most unique seasons of the franchise imo i haven’t watched it but i like what i’ve read about it, not only is drive a great hero but Dr.Banno/Gold Drive was a great final boss villain who brought a whole new meaning to the phrase "Mad Scientist". a monster of a man who became probably the Craziest Dark rider in the series. plus i can’t be the only one who thinks that Gold Drive and Drive are similar to The Flash and The Reverse Flash, i do wish brain had his rider form from the start because it’s my favorite between heart and him, and be able to turn into his Roidmude form at full power. If i had to recommend any fanfictions theres one set in the MHA universe Called MHA Illegal Dark Drive.

Fun fact the car in kamen Rider Drive was designed after a Honda NSX

The one series I wouldnt mind seeing a collaboration between Toei X Takara Tomy. I remember there were these small vehicle toys and they look very well made and designed. At least for japanese side anyway

I don't think I've ever seen a main Rider actor ever been involved in a LOT and plethora of content when his series was out like Ryoma Takeuchi himself. Kamen Rider Drive itself was the perfect return to form after the insanity which was Gaim and THIS is the way to go after a world-building ride like Gaim. Ghost had nothing to expand upon and its lessons from defeating the main villains really didn't make any sense and the character's motives such as Ryu Tenkuuji were questionable at best. Drive here was starting a formula that should've crashed and burned with a car rider but ended up becoming a celebration of what KR is, no matter what you ride or drive in this case. Even Stan Lee saw how amazing Ryoma is before his passing. Ryoma might be one of the only Rider actors to meet such a legend as Stan. He even reminisces of how amazing his time as Drive was, even till this day and that's saying a lot. The whole show is basically like Megaman/MM X. Robots hate humans because of something their creator was and this won't be the last robots vs humans season we'll have since Zero-One and Zenkaiger would touch upon that tho Zenkaiger, not so much tbh. And yes, that opening is badass. It reminds me of the Dragonar opening: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ItCMX3A1qaE.html Play us out, Eternal: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f08dpVJk3sY.html&ab_channel=MitsuruMatsuokaEARNESTDRIVE-Topic

Kamen Rider Chaser is awesome

Chase's name is Chase in civilian form and Chaser for pseudo rider form Mashin Chaser as well as for rider form Kamen Rider Chaser

The beggining was good but a bit slow, but once they start spinning the weel (pun intented) the show just got better and better. Easly top 5 Kamen Rider seasons for me

I can’t believe Kamen Rider Heart is going to be Ultraman Blazar.

Let's Drive With Kamen Rider Drive

I'm going to keep this one short as possible too. I enjoyed Drive as well I asked for a a main Rider to be a cop and well here we are and Shinosuke is one of my favorite main protagonist but Chase is about equal in the favorite department however my favorite rider in Drive is Zero-Drive because I just like proto type Kamen Riders. I do think when it comes to the monsters of the week they had more compared to Gaim and at least one Roudmude was beaten like every episode. And you now that I think about Drive was basically a Kamen Rider Dragnet season. Like without the narration of what time it is and an update of what they're doing.

Kamen Rider drive global freeze stop motion thing reminds me of kabuto's clock up where they fight at super speed but they slow down the footage of the episode so you can see the fight scene in the episodes

I had interest to watch this series so i'm glad it is good

This was my first Kamen Rider Show. So this review brings back some nostalgia.

Kamen Rider Drive is special to me because it was the last full season of Kamen Rider me and my brother watched together before I left for the Airforce. My brother quite enjoyed Drive following after Wizard and Gaim. They were like our trinity of seasons we could look back at fondly in that time. It started my brief stint in collecting Kamen Rider toys before I left too.

Drive’s car theme actually makes sense other than the fact that we learn in one of the specials that mr belt loves cars and that’s why it has a car theme in my opinion it has a car motif because the villans can slow down time hence only the speed of cars could stop these villans

Just a question have you seen the OG Kamen Rider Amazon,if so what did you think of it

I think the rrason W didn't come back is similar to why we never see them in crossover nowsaday. The main duo is very famous. Especially Suda Masaki, who is an A class star and is impossible to invite back. In 2018, Toei wanted to invite him to the Build x Zio crossover for a cameo but couldn't because his schedule was booked 3 years in advance, 3 YEARS!!. (Tho they did get Sato Takeru back so it was qyite a success)

Tridoron is so cool

Reading your tweets it seems this is better than I heard.

I liked the Nininger appearance in the movie was alright. They were there to help fight the giant villain, and while I do get what you mean by out of nowhere, I still liked it. Also I like seeing Kamen rider/super Sentai team up mechas.

Let's drive

It wuold be cool that an anyversary kamen rider show ad an motosoclist and desert animals motif

Knight Rider Meet Kamen Rider Drive

I will definitely put this up on my to watch KR list

The final rider’s name is Chase while his Kamen Rider name is Chaser.

So does that make Knight Rider... a Kamen Rider? Also can't wait to see what show is next on the chopping block.

When Drive first aired i wasn't too sure what to think of it on my second rewatch i learned to actually really like it even entering my top 10 sure the first half of it is repetitious though those episodes weren't all that bad, the second half however is amazing i really loved how they executed the other half, the storyline with Shinnosuke and Nira is one of my favorites in the franchise, the endgame arc is also beautifully written and Chase's death hit really hard (yes harder than Grease's death) My problems with Drive -Despite learning some details in regards to him, Banno is a weak antagonist though not as bad as Maki from OOO, Giff or Gifu from Revice, Sh- i meant Storious and Solomon from Saber and Narutaki from Decade -Characters with glasses don't have the fun kind of comedy (Brain still had badass moments though) -Whatever the heck that Sangou movie was (yes it's worse than Super Hero Taisen Z) Now i give you a salute as you watch Kamen Rider Zi-O (hope you have a better time than i had) what is your least favorite thing about your favorite rider season and what is the best thing in the season you consider as the franchise's worst.

Yesterday I've seen the episode of ultraman where it featured the monster that likes chocolate and I thought it was pretty funny plus when it was revealed that the monster likes chocolate I just wanted to make a reference to the Character from the spongebob episode chocolate with nuts where he screams out the word chocolate.

His civilian name is Chase. Chaser is his Kamen Rider form name.

22:47 who is voiced by ichigo kurosaki

Freeze roidmude played by Masami Horiuchi , who is Shinigami/Zebub from Ultraman Gaia and Matsunaga from Nexus if you didn’t know! 👍😄

You may or may not that Rei Yoshii played the Protagonist in Rosetta the Masked Angel which was a Tokusatsu series made by Tsubaraya Entertainment.

11:29 He was also the villain, Professor Hustler, in DaiTetsujin 17

While watching Drive eversince, it became my Heisei 2 Phase Top Rider must be due to the Tridoron (visually modified 1992 Honda NSX). As years gone by, I tried to Google the cast mostly put of boredom (in Japanese) so here's what I found and gigs after Drive. Ryoma Takeuchi (Shinnoauke Tomari/Drive): main character in I LOVE YOU TILL THE WORLD ENDS aired in Nippon TV. Chris Peppler (Krim Steinbert/Belt-san): still works in FM radio and occasional host in NHK World Tokyo (since 2008, my favorite show for over a decade). Oh he was one of the main host for RU-vid Fanfest Japan 2015. Rio Uchida(Kiriko Shijima): launched her own RU-vid channel in 2020. Rei Yoshii(Rinna Sawagami): married Shigenori Yamazaki in 2016 but won't be able the bear children due to the bone marrow transplant. There are other old photos of her gravure days. Still active in gravure business. Kenta Hamano (Kyu Saijo): composes music using his nickname HAMAKEN (mostly were jazz) and still in the Japan music industry. Tsurutaro Kataoka( Jun Honganji): he occasionally guests in some reaction shows on the TV if I recall. But a rumor floats the he was affected by Covid 19 that I wish it's not true. Yu Inaba(Go Shijima/Mach): dude had many movie and TV appearances after the Drive gig. Fumika Baba(Medic): appeared in several TV dramas after Drive. This is my rantifull info I gathered.

to me the Shift Cars are like Hot Wheels more than Micro Machines because they are larger and in the standard die-cast cars scale.

If Kamen Rider Drive Had an English Dub can Krim be voiced by Peter Cullin?

9:31 skipper aproves this show Just spanish talkers will undertand this joke

Kiva was kinda eh to me, honestly I wasn't a fan of the plot structures and the time travel plus for a show that Inoue wrote I was hoping it would be similar to Agito and Faiz. But I'll give it this the soundtracks and the suit designs were cool

Drive is a great season.

Going to predict it now before it premieres, this is going to be either a 3 or 4 star. Edit: I guess I was right on the 4 star, thought maybe the additional movies and specials would lower it a bit.

Any plans on reviewing piece of shi--I mean Kyuranger?

36:40 because Ghost's story wasn't figured out at the time, but yes I agree this is what Kamen Rider Ghost should have been

fun fact the singer of surprise drive is kamen rider eternal actor Who is my favorite movie villain

Just ignore the rider show and there's no such as Favourite , We could honestly ask the same question to that The main problem in the entire KR series was called What's wrong? if you don't fight you die! me: intense Ryuki moments. Let’s be real: Fourze won’t get anything this year since most of the cast were Retired. My Hottest Opinion take about toku = -Ninninger and Zyuohger is best classic Sentai、-Go-busters was another best classic Sentai、-Megaranger and Goseiger is best and interesting Sentai、-Ghost is Really Cool and Decent、-Fourze was one of the most underrated riders、-Faiz was Infamous and awful dude to Inoue Ruined Hibiki and Decade、-Wizard's 10th is better than Kabuto's 15th、-Kiva was an better rider season if the writer wasn't Inoue.

Are you going to make a review off Kamen Rider Build?

ALL WE NEED IS DRIVE!!! Also, Drive is an amazing series and is my 8th most favorite Kamen Rider show so far just below the likes of Blade at 7th place for me!! :D

I have an idea for a Halloween video! You can rank scary episodes from super sentai, kamen rider or ultraman!

the Lupin Rider suit was pretty cool

MACH was PRESENTATION!! Personified

What up mach is my 11 favorite 2st rider in the heisei era

Are You Goona Do A Review On Houjin Yatsurugi Season 1

What Kamen Rider series do you consider the greatest?

Wait until u watch the fight sence of mach and gold drive that made me cry

It wuold be cool that in another kamen rider about cars the vilains where a group of aliens who are the responsables for the extintion of the dinosaurs knowing that they wuold turn into oil and returned to earyh to recolect the oil and make themselfs rich but after discovering that humanity is using the oil they deside to destroy the humanity too so they could get all the oil for themselfs

Imagine Kamen rider drive meeting other Kamen riders and they question the fact that he has a car and they're confused

10:06 okay that was funny

4:01 Kamen rider hot wheelz

Start Your Engine

Also RIP to kamen rider series having their bikes (and car) appear majority of the show

KR Drive = I'm watching a counterpart of Knight Rider

The movie with Dark Drive is actually Surprise Future

Faiz's ending was already ruined before Kamen Rider 4 even came out, thanks to Heisei vs Showa that caused a number of retcons to Faiz's ending, it didn't help that Takumi was a major character in the movie and his struggles was a big side plot to the Heisei vs Showa riders nonsense. If anything KR 4 fixed what Hesei vs Showa ruined

Toei with their specials 😌

I hardly seen people talk about this show, and it’s a shame because I’ll gladly take this over Ex-Aid.

Kamen rider ghost is like the cool kid he's cool at school but in his house he is a fool 🤣 😂

You Do You Think About Kiramager

At least the woman among the villains' does not love then and kiss and squeeze them and hug them and name them all George. They really want to "take over the world."

Drive has always been my second favorite season it's not as good as gaim was but it's still enjoyable

I love kamen rider drive movie and special

Next is kamen rider build

all i am going to say is kamen rider marika

What's with that pretentious nature?, NO THANK YOU!! -from the type high speed dvd special And its time for Kaiju to start his engine.

Kinda like Robbie Reyes; only a cop and more sci-fi.

This is gonna be an unpopular opinion. I watched up until episode 13 and couldn't get into it. I understand that things got better from around episode 20 but there was one part of ep 13 that didn't sit well with me that I gave up KR altogether. It's a shame as well because I was blown away by Gaim and I expected Drive to do the same but instead it ruined my interest in KR.

See that face, You do not like that show hah

I really hated this show. It’s tied with Kabuto and Ex aid for my least favorite of the Heisei shows. It’s extra disappointing that it was written by Sanjo who wrote W which I liked though it was to be expected considering how awful Kyoryuger was and he worked on that too.
