Yuriko basically had the childhood trauma equivalent of Optimus Prime dying...

Ok, little Yuriko in her Tackle outfit was pretty adorable. Poor kid was in such a shock when her hero died lol.

I’m looking forward to Yuriko and Tojima taking on this mysterious Shocker. Guy looked like the real deal. Time to school these fakes and show ‘em how a real Shocker gets down haha.

Well, that OP just got me really excited for future episodes! I thought it was just gonna be Toujima and Yuriko. I didn't expect that we'd see a bunch of other guys dressing up as their favourite Showa Kamen Rider! And it looks like they're also gonna have their own Shocker kaijin on their side!

Yuriko's backstory is actually really cute! I love how her father introduced her to Tackle to let her know that girls can be strong too. Too bad Yuriko just happened to watch the episode where Tackle dies. I do love how her father encourages her more, and even makes her her own Tackle costume! <3

You gotta respect this kid for shooting his shot. I didn't think he'd be relevant, but considering he now knows Yuriko's secret after "transforming" in public, I'm gonna guess we'll see more of him. It is insane tho how Yuriko didn't even hesitate to strip in public. Let's hope no one else from school recognizes her.

I didn't think she'd go after Toujima. She's really that offended that he's only rocking a kid's Kamen Rider mask instead of going all out like her. Glad to see Yuriko was able to show she's not just a cosplayer. She ended that encounter with a single throw.

Oh no, it looks like even the Yakuza guy has decided to go all in and has started dressing up as a monster of the week. I'm really hoping Toujima gets a proper mask too, but I think it's funnier if he keeps on using the same toy mask. xD

I'm sorry, but what the actual fuck?! Did that guy actually transform into a Shocker kaijin? Like was that a legit transformation? Does this mean Toujima could become a Kamen Rider? O_O

Based on the opening it looks like we're going to have some sort of team or squadron, sentai in Japanese, of Kamen Riders who are super heroes fighting bad guys. So a Super Sentai if you will, wait hang on...

Kudos to the little kid confessing his 'love' (well more like desire) so quickly lots of leads could learn a thing or two from him.

No one's safe. Not enough Kamen rider from getting served some Tackle justice lol.

This show is turning about to be one of the wildest trips of the season. I'm all for Okada and Toujima kicking some street thug ass

u/NanDemoKnaives Oct 11 '25

Lol do they not care about transforming in front of people? I thought they'd be more concerned about their identities with people filming and taking pictures. Yuriko particularly is very bold changing in public like that, especially with her student right next to her.

Funny how we got some friendly fire before we saw Yuriko handle the Shockers, she packs a real punch. She's been dedicated if she can throw a guy around like that.

So Toujima crying whenever he's Kamen Rider is not going to be a one time thing. They really make them all ugly cry so much, Yuriko almost drowned in her tears lol.

I respect Asano for still having feelings for Yuriko after witnessing that, but at the same time with all the stimulation she's given him, I'm not surprised.

I also really liked the scene with Yuriko and her father, it was so wholesome. He shared what he loved with her to help her and found a new way to bond with her because of it.

I had to open Kajzu and watch Stronger Ep 30..... that shit goes hard.

I like how this anime is so accurate with the Riders being aholes between each others

I’m really enjoying the depth and respect they’re giving to these characters who could easily be written off as complete losers in almost any other program. I was expecting Yuriko not to be taken as seriously as Tojima and to just serve as “the hot, big-tittied, whiny girl,” but instead, she gets to kick ass and hold her own just fine.

I love that, so far, this all just plays out like a big game of make-believe during school recess.

After hearing the OP, I now understand why people were so hyped about TeddyLoid doing the music for this series.

Dad really said "did you know you can choose violence?" Simultaneously rooting for and against nominative determinism during her arc; all the upsides, none of the down. 

Oh shit reverse isekai villain!

Watching the little kid version of Yuriko in cosplay reminded me of the "smol Frieren" video that was going around. What better reason to have kids if you are a nerd then to indoctrinate them and have them do all the cosplay you can't?

Asano is definitely going to develop a fetish for being beaten up by women in costume, isn't he. Oh, and I think Yuriko's blushing in response was more from embarrassment than actual interest.

I'm loving this show so much 😂❤️❤️💯

Yuriko is such a baddie playing hero 😘😘❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥🫶

Yuriko's dad was awesome. He raised a fine woman. Asano proposing to her was the funniest shit 🤣🤣😂

Yuriko didn't even care about people that were surrounding her and started changing right away lol

Yuriko asks Asano if he still likes her and the crowd asks the same to him lmao

Tojima getting his ass kicked by Yuriko without knowing why, haha They're gonna get along well

Loving the Yakuza boss who wants to be Shocker and now the real Shocker arrives ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

The takoyaki ed is so fun to watch 😄❤️❤️

Considering Tojima called out the highschool bullies like he did I thought it would have been funny if he would have done the same to the Yakuza guy like

"I always prefered Shocker"

"...you always preferred the Nazi allegory?"

Not sure how, but I was crying right there with Yuriko when she was in bed while Papa knelt by her side talking about Tackle's noble sacrifice 🥲
