Never called a Kamen Rider?

Post by TorchWood »

Is it my imagination, but beyond the cameo in the Forze movie, neither Wizard or Beast have been called or called themselves "Kamen Rider". It has always been either "mage" or "Wizard", but "Kamen Rider" is forbidden beyond the title.

Anyone else notice this?

Could be, there are some Rider shows where they never use the Kamen Rider part. Let's see.

Up to episode 7, they never use Kamen Rider Wizard except in the preview for the next episode.

In episode 8 they use Kamen Rider Wizard in the opening narration.

...annnd, they don't use Kamen Rider Wizard again except in the next episode preview part. So they never say Kamen Rider in the show itself.

This happens pretty often in Kamen Rider actually.

Kiva used the word "Rider System" a total number of 1 time. The word "Kamen Rider" was never mentioned at all.

In Kabuto, they just used "Rider" all of the time, and the system was called "Masked Rider System", in English.

I'm fairly sure Faiz never used the word either.


OOO only used the phrase during the movies, and the Kamen Rider Movie arc. Oh, and once to refer to the Birth system.

Blade did considering there was this whole episode about Kenzaki figuring out what it meant to be a Rider and him saying he'll fight as one, before he got King Form.

Thanks. I had no clue because I've never watched Blade. It's the only Heisei series I haven't watched one whole episode of. I really need to watch it.

Not to mention everyone was all surprised that incompetent reporter guy knew so much about Kamen Riders.

I've only watched Decade, W, Forze, and Wizard, thus I was surprised that Kamen Rider was never mentioned beyond the Forze movie. Again, what raised the eyebrow was the puzzled look.

.
I recalled in episode where Yaguruma adressed "Kamen Rider Drake" to Daisuke when he try to kill Mamiya Reina. Only Drake was called Kamen Rider.

Wizard calling himself as mahoutsukai ( Mage/ Magic User/ Magician) similar case with Hibiki where they called themselves as Oni(Demon/ Sonic Strike Rider/ Ongeki Rider)

Kuuga, Agito, and Faiz never called Kamen Rider.

In Kamen Rider Seigi no Keifu video game PS2 Agito was learn the region about Kamen Rider when he was called "Kamen Rider" by Shocker Kaijin. It was post canon to original homage of Kamen Rider.
