Re: KR Drive 02 released
Okay, so the driver personality is a brain-mapped Smart A.I.... that so could have gone GLaDOS instead of Cortana. I thought about looking up whatever meaning 108 has for this series, unfortunately, it turns out to be one of those universal sacred numbers, and therefore, too much information to look through to make sense.

Since it's Japan, it's probably the 108 desires that tempt people away from Nirvana from Buddhist culture. That's why they ring the bell 108 times in Japan on New Years.

Re: KR Drive 02 released
Is that old guy's consciousness was somehow installed into the Belt? Is that so, this reminds me with Johnny Depp's character in Transcendence.
Drive must be the first Heisei main rider whose profession is a police detective. The other police detectives that I remember in Heisei era are Terui Ryu (Accel) and Hikawa Makoto (G3-X), both are second riders.
Anyway,
Heisei era KR TV series which do have at least one of its characters mentions the term Kamen Rider:
Ryuki, Blade, Den-O, Decade, W, OOO, Fourze, Drive
Heisei era KR TV series which do not have at least one of its characters mentions the term Kamen Rider:
Kuuga, Agito, Faiz, Hibiki (Oni), Kabuto (Masked Rider), Kiva, Wizard (Mahōtsukai/Mage), Gaim (Armored Rider and New Generation Riders)
CMIIW. Anyway, I only use TV series as reference.

Just treat her like Hina in OOO. Normal women cannot do what Kiriko and Hina do.ViRGE wrote:The "physics defying stunts" as Shinnosuke puts it.Phoenix512 wrote:What superhuman abilities? I don't recall her having any superhuman abilities at all. It's obvious she can't be Drive because women can't be the main Kamen Rider.

Re: KR Drive 02 released
I had actually assumed Heart was talking about Belt-san, given what we'd seen earlier in the episode.Lunagel wrote:He said "best friend's soul" not "Soul". He was referring to the fact that the Roidmude don't have physical bodies technically, they're spirit number things.
And seriously, kudos to Shinnosuke for not only figuring out the gimmick of "Rider powers are tied closely to, if not sourced from, the villains" and throwing it in Belt's... uh, buckle. He's no moron, this Tomori Shinnosuke. He knows, and he's seemingly not entirely comfortable with it, or at least with having it hidden from him.

Heart looks like Kaito. Brain looks like Jonouchi, and Chase looks like Mitsuzane.
Aside from that, this episode was much more enjoyable than the first.
The Shift Cars are tacky in multiple ways - the CGI, the shifting (they look like they're going to snap off of his wrist!), even when they are live-action and being moved by wires!

I'm afraid that Chase will become like Sudou Kirihiko from W. His cool bike will become Drive's Bike. Nah... I don't think he will become like that anyway.

Re: KR Drive 02 released
Thoughts on Drive so far:
- The opening theme is starting to grow on me. Cant' wait to download the full song once it's out
- So.... his partner is still alive? Uh... okay. Just when I thought the series started with quite a dark note with the deaths and casualties.. oh well. But I still think his guilt is legit either way - dead or alive he ruined his partner's life.
- Still not too sure with Kiriko, but I'm liking her more than Akiko. She's like Hana (Den-O, older form) and Hina (OOO) combined.
- Seriously Drive should drop the over-the-top comedic gimmick. A less jarring one like W would still work, but the entire investigation team (except for Shinnosuke & Kiriko) have really stupid comedic reactions to everything. And they're pretty much useless. And that chief. Seriously, he's like Akiko-becomes-old-man-and-way-past-menopause.
- Suits and design for both Rider and Roimudes are quite nice actually, though I'm hoping the Roimudes will look more distinguishable from one another. So far it seems that only the general-level ones look different.
- Tires forming on Drive's chest while he's still in Tridoron.. really? To me that's really defying any known logic/physics. Like someone above me mentioned, would be nicer if they're like the Zecters in Kabuto punching through walls to get to the riders.
- Love how Shinnosuke linked the Roimudes and Shift Cars together. Like it's such a KR trope but it's nice that the main rider points it out at the start and leave the rest of the season to slowly prove him right.
- So the belt was once human? Okay didn't see that coming. Not surprised if Kiriko ends up to be his daughter.
- Wonder will Chase become the secondary rider lol.

Re: KR Drive 02 released
I was reading the notes about series on the KR wiki (I know, I know...), and two things stood out. One (and please ignore if said info is posted elsewhere), the guy who played Eternal sings the theme song, and two, the producer calls this show a tribute to Knight Rider, quoting it as "Kamen Rider meets Knight Rider"... for some reason, I now see Devon Miles walking into the Special Cases office and ranting about all the silliness that goes on.

Re: KR Drive 02 released
Good show! This is like Kidou Keiji Jiban + Speed Racer!
I really like Shinosuke and looks like he is like Naruhodo Ryuichi and Naoto Tamura in one character!
Kiroko looks a lot like Hanna (Yuriko Shiratori) from Kamen Rider Den-O (I'm in love! <3.<3! again)
We got a group of stylish and insteresting bad guys too! Definitely look like is going to get a great series!.
Probably because of the "Speed" theme it resembles to Kabuto a lot.
