Wow, this series remind me of LOTS of stuff!

Post by squashy »

Finally get round to watching Wizard, man this year is so exciting! What surprises me the most is that a bunch of stuff in Wizard seems so familiar. I just wanna state them and see what folks think:

1. The forms are quite similar to Kuuga's. Ok, maybe not so much, but Wizard's mask does resemble Kuuga's symbol.

2. Available basic forms at the start, W comes to mind.

3. The mask is sorta like Hibiki's.

4. Black tailcoat, it's Ouga!

5. Wizard's collar is just like Blade's, can you see? Their henshins are also alike.

6. That dragon he summons must be related to Survive Dragreder in some way.

7. The way he gets big when using said dragon as a kick booster feels Kiva-ish.

8. Some Kabuto sound effects are reused (the sound when Renge sees solar eclipse and the sound when Hiyori thinks of the elf that embraces her in her drawing). I also spotted Kabuto music in W.

9. More bick actions like older shows (yay!). Hope they lasts.

10. His gun-sword thingy is a totally recycled idea from SurviBlade.

11. From now on, it seems Wizard is gonna have to "Engage" and take out a huge magic manifestation inside the Gate after defeating Monster of the Week. So what, they even throw Sentai's feature in here?

12. Symbol appearing on the ground when doing Rider Kick? They had that back in 2001.
...

Now that's a LOT for something that is not an anniversary series!

Oh and juuuuust one moar thing, Koyomi is sooooooo cute!!!!!!! *squeeeeeeee!* she doesn't happen to be jailbait does she?

1. No. What parts of his forms are quite similar with Kuuga anyway?
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
5. Yes.
6. Well, aside from their designs, there's nothing relates the two creatures. One is a Phantom and the other is a Mirror Monster.
7. Yes.
8. Yes.
9. Yes. In 1st eps. the way Haruto rams through the warehouse reminds me with the way Black does in KR Black opening.
10. FFXIII's Lightning's GunBlade looks much more similar to it than SurviBlade.
11. That goes to Hibiki, Den-O and Kiva too.

I can sorta see it; the suit's color changes come off as very similar.

I just wonder if they are going to be doing the mid-to-late season power-up for the riders that they have been doing a lot of lately, kiva and the zanvat sword, W and the xtreme memory, ooo and the purple combo/ kings combo, fourze and the rocket states(it was only used in the movie and the last few episodes) and cosmic states.

Well for number 1 yes it's alike to Kuuga form :-

1) Flame Form : Kuuga Mighty
2) Water Form : Dragon Form
3) Hurricane Form : Pegasus Form

It's similar to Shinkenger to since they have the same elements but I supposed that Land form and Titan Form is not the same and yes Kamen Rider Wizard has some kind of similar face to Hibiki..

Similarity in term of the color of the forms, eh. Let's see.

Flame Style (Ruby [Red]) - Mighty Form (Red) = OK.
Water Style (Sapphire [Blue]) - Dragon Form (Blue) = OK.
Hurricane Style (Emerald [Green]) - Pegasus Form (Green) = OK.
Land Style (Topaz [Yellow]) - Titan Form (Purple) = NOT OK.

Assuming Wizard's color is as similar as Kuuga's but at the same time leaving out the comparison between Wizard's Land Style color and Kuuga's Titan Form color is not damn wise.

Kuuga doesn't have any Yellow based form. Anyway, the one we see in Decade movie (Rising Ultimate form) is considered Gold (and Black), not yellow.
It's better to compare Kuuga colors with Kiva colors instead of Wizard colors.

Mighty Form (Red) - Kiva base Form (Red) = OK.
Dragon Form (Blue) - Garuru Form (Blue) = OK.
Pegasus Form (Green) - Basshaa Form (Green) = OK.
Titan Form (Purple) - Dogga Form (Purple) = OK.

Those are all the Rider shows you've seen, aren't they?
This is something that technically started with Stronger's Charge-up form, but didn't become tradition until... Kuuga.

Every Heisei Main Rider and Neo-Heisei Rider has gotten an Ultimate form. If Wizard doesn't get one (

And he will, or at least will get the equivalent to Kuuga's Rising froms
), then we can be surprised.

For me, his "Sha ba do bi Touch Henshin" is like OOO's, "Tatoba Tatoba Tatoba" music cue (even though his comes during his transformation).

There's no such thing as Neo-Heisei Rider, officially. I believe that term was made by all-riders-in-one-single-universe-is-canonical-to-the-tvseries-theory delusional fanboys.

Official term or not, I'm going to keep calling W through Wizard and possibly the series' after it the Neo-Heisei era, because it fits as far as I'm concerned.
