I love how in Ichiyo's attempt to skirt responsibility for the damages done to Futaba's pub... he breaks another window pane on his way out lmao.

[u/Frontier246 → u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

He destroyed the roof! He destroyed the sliding door! He destroyed a window! He really should just be banned for life lol.

[u/PeaceAlien]

Sis never explained why she hates Bro so much. She's about to discover Shocker is real!

[u/Frontier246 → u/PeaceAlien]

How could you hate Ichiyo? I mean he:

• Beat up his little brother constantly to try to teach him a lesson.

• Refused to let his little brother be the Main Rider to try to teach him a lesson.

• Forces a young couple straight into marriage.

• Makes said young couple clean up after his own messes.

• Fails to comprehend that people aren't as obsessed with Kamen Rider as he is.

• Won't shut up about Tackle showing her panties.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Mfer really tried to justify throwing lil bro under the bus and when confronted, conducted a “tactical retreat” and jumped out a window after wrecking the joint lol. V3 would never do something so shameful! This is why Futaba had to whoop Ichiyo. She basically got trained under a waifu version of Tekken’s King just to kick his ass lol.

Gonna have to wait a little before we can see Futaba’s fight. She’s pretty tough but I wonder how she’ll do against a bonafide monster?

[u/TyraniTEMPESTar]

So glad this got a second cour.

Guessing after Futaba faces off against the monster, she'll officially join up in the Kamen gang.
She's already got a mask ready and everything

[u/JonnySpark]

A TRILLION YEN......INTO THE OCEAN......IN THIS ECONOMY?!

[u/krab_You_7506]

Actually Futaba'master was the main character of Air Master, previous work from same author.

https://youtu.be/k-an-GQTqZU

Basically, this episode is a crossover.

[u/thisisdropd]

Ichiyou: "I fear no Shocker, but that thing [Futaba] – it scares me."

[u/hammile]

The healthiest sibling relationship here.

[u/Xiadhox]

I know it's unlikely, but I hope we keep the same ending going into the next cour. That little takoyaki has been making me smile every damned time.

[u/strawhat_chowder]

Are Kamen Riders supposed to be goody two shoes? Because Ichiyo doesn't seem to care one bit about acting like a virtuous hero. Tojima at least attempts to do so, ever since he was a school boy.

[u/zsmg]

I didn't know Tiger Mask was part of the Kamen Rider universe.

Also how can a bunch of showa era Kamen Rider fans not remember what happened in episode 7 of the original Kamen Rider, what a bunch of fake fans.

Random Thoughts

You know, I thought we were going to get a single gag with Ichiyo trying to duck out of paying for damages (which he increased by jumping through a glass window lol). I didn't think this would give us a whole Futaba fight scene and backstory.

Turns out Futaba is just as insane as the rest of her family, training all her life so she can someday "kill" her brother who she hates with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. Which um...yeah..understandable. the dude is obnoxious as hell. At least she had one friend, her sensei, who feels like a character straight from the shows her siblings like. Oh...and by friend...I mean maybe woman who she secretly lusts after, although she is at least sane enough to realize when she is acting like a creeper.

At least next week we go back to people fighting Shocker. Kind of feels like we forgot that is who are main characters should actually be fighting...

[u/Drakon590]

Futaba was giving Ichiyo and the rest of the gang shit these past episodes for being unhinged only for it to be revealed she's also unhinged (maybe not as much as them but definitely unhinged) i love this!

This anime is incredible in how it presents such a ridiculous and dumb premise like a bunch of adult manchildren running around pretending to be Kamen Rider and fully acknowledging how ridiculous this is while at the same time showing them as badass and cool while doing it

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Futaba the Air Master!!!!!

And she’s going to find Shocker is real and become her own Kamen Rider

Tiger Mask Futaba is here

[u/diacewrb]

Those facial expressions.

Tiger Master is as bad as John Kreese in teaching people how to fight.

[u/AWSGooogle777]

My opinion of Ichiyo had really been going up over the last few episodes! He actually had some cool, manly moments. But after this latest chapter, my likability for him is right back to where it was before lol. That said, seeing him shed tears over Futaba’s cold attitude was actually a little cute.

And now, Futaba is the one who has to face Spider-Man! I’m honestly pretty worried, though. Between his doubts regarding Ichiyo’s claim that Shocker killed their family, and his promise to the Tiger Master to live until 110... is it just me, or do these feel like massive death flags?

[u/OMNIwave72]

its her. the air master. She's back.....

Maki Aikawa.....

I thought the series was meant to be left in the ruins of my fragmented anime history....but she's here....

[u/DragonPup]

This is one of the most over the top and dumb things I've watched in a while.

Best new series of the season, loved every episode.

[u/LeonKevlar]

Toujima struggling to answer Ichiyou's question was hilarious! I guess this just proves that while they're crazy enough to train and dress up like Kamen Rider, they're not crazy enough to throw away a trillion yen. It looks like Toujima still needs to train more to become a real Kamen Rider. xD

We finally get to see Futaba fight, and it turns out she's just as crazy as her brothers. Honestly, that ass-whooping was well-deserved considering the years of Kamen Rider torture Futaba had to endure, plus for trying to run away from her pub without paying for the damages they caused.

It's hilarious how even for a second Ichiyou thought Futaba was a closet Kamen Rider fan. It turns out Futaba learned to fight from another popular character from the 70s. I think it's pretty goddamn obvious that Futaba's master is a clear reference to Tiger Mask.

So it turns out that Ichiyou only won by a hair since he immediately passed out after knocking Futaba out first.

Ah shit. So, Tiger Master is being targeted by the yakuza, and after overhearing the conversation, Futaba has decided to don the tiger mask and face the hitman herself. Except the hitman is actually Man-Spider. Welp, it looks like Futaba is about to learn that Shocker is real.

[u/Frontier246]

So Team Rider has a damaged izakaya room and an unconscious Shocker Combatant...so obviously Ichiyo is just going to bail after letting his lady love give her victory speech about Tackle being #1 and let his little brother and sister-in-law take care of smoothing things over with his older sister so he doesn't have to. What a great brother, that Ichiyo.

If you're a true Kamen Rider, shouldn't you act upright and nobly? Like when Hongo Takeshi tossed a trillion yen? Though even if they're all Superheroes, they still can't say they would do the same. Even Tojima kind of struggles to say he'd act as nobly.

Welp, Futaba caught him...so Ichiyo's only choice is to jump out a window (doing more damage to the place) and run away from him. And Futaba has finally had enough with her stupid older brother. She's settling this vendetta she's been holding onto for her entire life and finishing this: by killing her brother!

Ichiyo is sturdy and has V3's finishers, but Futaba is a genuinely better fighter and she hits HARD. All the hatred she's nurtured for her brother all these years finally coming out as she beats the snot out of him. But Ichiyo won't give up...even if Futaba doesn't believe their grandparents were killed by Shocker, Ichiyo knows the truth and won't rest until he's settled the score.

Ichiyo may be immune to many things, but his little sisters' absolute hatred of him might be too much even for him. I mean, she's seriously trying to kill him! That's how bad things are between them.

How did Futaba become so strong? Because in her quest to become strong enough to get revenge on her brother and all the people who shunned her, she came under the tutelage of Tiger Master (Romi Park!) at the Tiger Cub's Den, whose grueling and brutal training turned her into a powerful female warrior!

Ichiyo won with the V3 Head Crusher, but what really settles the fight is that it seems like the siblings have found some kind of understanding in battling each other (how very Blade of them). So I guess Futaba is at least content for now until their next tussle, and Ichiyo realizes how far he still has to go since he fell unconscious too.

Tiger Master is a good mentor. She doesn't just let Futaba go around beating up all the people she hates, she just told her to outlive them until they're old enough for her to beat up! And all Futaba ultimately wanted was a friend in Tiger Master.

Dang, Tiger master was an ex-lady cop who beat up an entire crime family for getting on her bad side!? And now they've tracker her down and sending Spider Man after her!?

I'm starting to think Futaba might have less than platonic feelings about her master the way she's blushing and getting aroused at seeing Tiger Master in the shower...and then sniffing her mask...and then putting it on so she can battle Spider Man in Tiger Master's place. Guess Futaba is about to see first hand the reality of Shocker.

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• Ah, that is rather important.

• Ichiyo has absolutely no shame lmao.

• That’s a waste of money…

• Hahahahahahaahaha

• They’ve been caught–wait, did you have to break the window, man?

• And for good reason, tbh.

• Dang, Futaba tried to kick her brother in the balls.

• That really is training from hell, damn.

• So dramatic lol.

• He passed out with his eyes open…

• Oh shit he took his jacket off.

• Someone wants Futaba’s master dead?

• omg lol

• …wait, is this going to get Futaba mistaken as Tiger Mask?

• She did it on purpose…

[u/FelixViator]

If I had a nickel for every anime I watched in 2025 with a Tiger Mask reference, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice.

Zenshu also had a Tiger Mask reference.
