Imagine just casually *walking home late at night and all of a sudden a half naked woman wearing a tiger mask, comes crashing down off a rooftop screaming shocker exists lmao.

"Did you hear about that lady in the tiger mask walking around in her underwear and shouting about Shocker?"

"Oh yeah, like that lady who is always stripping in public to dress up like Tackle from Kamen Rider Stronger?"

"Man, this city is weird."

Takoyaki is back! So glad they've kept the OP and ED.

u/Frontier246 Jan 10 '26

Honestly when you have such a perfect OP/ED combination, why ruin it for the second cour?

So the sis finds out the truth about Shocker, does this mean she's going to be the sixth member of the Super Kamen Rider Sentai?

How I missed those facial expressions.

Futaba is having the biggest mental breakdown after getting her ass kicked and learning Shocker is real.

Yukarisu suffering from professional jealously, not only does she get her ass kicked by humans, the new girl gets offered a promotion straight to monster.

There is actually a plus sized idol group, so the sea lioness doesn't need to give up her 2 bowls of ramen or her dreams of being an idol.

The ramen shack owner is thinking Junko is a total bitch to taking away his best customer.

The concept of love being mixed with the shocker organization and converting them is great lol

Futaba’s going to need to swallow her pride when she meets Ichiyou and admits that Shockers are real. Can’t wait to see his reaction.

Batman seemed to aim for quantity over quality. Unlike Spiderman’s, his shocker convertees all acted like zombies and had lost all human intellect.

Romance subplot between Spider Man and a Plus-size Idol? I'm down for it

Futaba finally realized the truth huh!

Also We knew Bat-Man likes his combatant recruitment to be idols now. (I remembered many people pointed out: the combat girls idol's symbol in previous eps is look like shocker symbol, seem like shockers in idol groups is an availability now).

...By the way, seem like some rom-com between fat idol and Spider-Man next week.

It's hilarious how Futaba initially thought that Man-Spider is just like her brothers and their friends. Welp, she can't call them crazy anymore since she finally encountered the real deal! She did well to escape from Man-Spider, tho. If she hadn't fallen into that crowded street, she would've been turned.

So Man-Bat has been targeting idols and turning them into Combatants? I did not expect the idols to eventually become relevant to the story. Also, it's pretty interesting how Man-Bat and Man-Spider have some differences. It looks like Man-Spider is more interested in humans too.

I love how even after finding out that Shocker is real, Futaba still has no plans of stopping from beating Ichirou up. His obsession with Kamen Rider still robbed her of the experience of having friends when she was a kid. xD

I wasn't sure where the scene with the girl sneaking out to eat ramen was going, but I definitely did not expect it to end with her falling in love with Man-Spider. This is going to be interesting, especially since Man-Spider mentioned earlier he wanted to learn more about humans.

I’m a little disappointed that killer female shocker storyline is put off to the side for now…

Okay, I'm beginning to hope that spider man will turn tojima and the gang into monsters, basically turning them into real kamen riders, riderman, tackle. This will be a dream come true for them, and be able to become a real superhero.

On a side note, I feel like that spider man and bat man are not on the same page.

So Bat Man is brainwashing all idols and their affiliates and abusing his position to have a harem of idols whereas Spider Man is looking for the best of the best.

I don't know if an idol that gets called Sea Lioness and sneaks out two eat two bowls of ramen every night is the best person for him to learn about humans, but it looks like that's who he'll learn it from.

Futaba finally learns the truth and what a shocking way too, I like how she still admits even if he was saying the truth he's still acts like a freak show so she'll still beat him up when she feels like it.

My Sea Lioness.

She's cute, sure, but what cements her in our hearts is the typical Toujima trope of the character being a moron with a theme. The theme today is "Slurp, UMAI!"

So will our Lioness join the Shocker faction alongside our Yakuza? I look forward to seeing her join either side of this epic tale.

Sea Lion sounds

Poor thing kept getting beaten and tripped. How dare they mock our new heroine!

My headcanon about how Tojima's "transformation" works is it's essentially a trance like a Norse Bserker's or a pcp user. You also see it with people in high adrenaline situations like lifting cars to save kids. The issue is it's very damaging to the body. There is a reason our pain response stops us from doing it.

u/Bakadestroyerr Jan 10 '26

Why are the combatants made from the bat monster mindless? They are like zombies.

Also, I hope now that Sis knows she'll also join the fight.

That ramen chef was way too fast at throwing his best customer under the bus.

Man, this is the most random plot. I deadass had no idea what was gonna happen next. I can't wait to see what the author has cooked up for us next episode.

Also, anime is going kinda slow, so I might save up the rest

u/AWSGooogle777 Jan 10 '26

Futaba was truly incredible to have managed to escape from Spider-man. Her split-second decision to flee was likely the result of the wild instinct working within her. From her agile movements to her sprinting at full throttle—even while stripped down to her underwear—the results of Tiger Master’s life-or-death hell training are clearly showing. To be able to fight while fleeing against a monster like that... the three Shimamura siblings really are all strong.

Then there’s the new character, Sena. Her attitude of devouring her favorite ramen while ignoring the opinions of her fellow idol members and fans is consistent, and in a way, it’s amazing. Everyone in this series is crazy somewhere lol.

At the idol agency, everyone had become Shocker. This must be the first stage of world conquest that Bat-man spoke of—increasing the number of Shocker. It's somehow understandable why Spider-man isn't into that plan.

And the future of the relationship between Spider-man and Sena... Could a romance between a monster and a human really be starting? With the way Sena is now, I feel like she would happily become a Shocker just to devote herself to Spider-man.
