Is this series worth continuing?
Okay, I started Ryukendo back when TV Nihon began subbing it. It was decent at best, but I began to hate the costume designs of some the enemies...the purple grunts kinda were childish and the plot seems blah at best. Besides the Good Guy's costume designs and the awesome intro, I felt this show was worthless.
I stopped viewing it around the time the third guy came into the picture.
Does this series get better? or should I not even bother?

It's one of the better one off toku series I've seen, but admittedly its not for everyone, its very kiddy feeling... because tis geared to.. you know... kids.. and toy sales. it does however have some of tokus better comedic writing, and the rare but very well done dramatic episodes that all things need. Look at it with an unbiased eye and you might see it for the true gem that it was, look at it expecting anything along the lines of your standard Sentai/Kamen Rider series, and you'll likely be let down.

Well, at first the series hurt my eyes with those purple grunts and awful villians.
But in the end, I love the series once I get past by the villians.
I enjoyed the heroes and this is what kept me watching to the end.
But as unmei stated it requires unbiased eyes, and once I realized that, I was able to enjoy the show.

At first, when I watched Ryukendo, I thought it was far too childish for my taste, but once RyuJinOh (aside from RyuKenDo himself and RyuGunOu) appears in later episodes, that's where it starts to be a lot better. Plus, JackMoon! He's by far the best villain I've ever come across, plus he knocked off Sephiroth on my top Villains List, due to his nobility nature as Swordsman first, Villain-That-Wants-To-Take-Over-The-World second. And he appears twice! (Though I can't tell you what really happens in detail, which you'll have to watch the episodes yourself...)
Give RyuKenDo a second chance and you'll regret that you ever say this series was too childish for you...

Didn't Capcom sponsor another toku series? I can't remember the name of the series right now, but the main character had a very shiny costume, and could shoot something from his hands that sort of looked like a hadoken shot (or Kikou Shou, whatever your mileage).Dark Ichigo wrote:ryukendo is a very good toku series just being a one-shot project from Takara and Capcom

Re: Is this series worth continuing?
The series gets alot better after Ryujinou is introduced. It becomes more mature although I think that the scenery and the buildings and all look really fake. The story and powerups are also very predictable and they spoils alot of stuff during the previews. The series is very not as dark as Kamen Rider and is more comedic than the rest. Im OK with the show but its just not up to the Kamen rider standard so if you are expecting something as good as Kamen rider then this is probably not the show for you.

LOL. Yeah, if you want to watch Kamen Rider, don't watch this, because this is not Kamen Rider.
But RyuKenDo has it's serious moments, and Kamen Rider has its comedic moments. It's rather silly to make the comparison. RyuKenDo is RyuKenDo, if you like some of the serious stories that come up in the show (like in episode then you might like some of the other serious stuff. And hey, comedy ain't bad either.

I admit when this series came out, I ignored it. After a while, I gave it a chance.
I'm glad I got over myself and watched it!!

Re: Is this series worth continuing?
Well, its i kinda mixed up Series, with half of Dramatic and half kinda Childish Attitude, but was fun to watch, just 2 things are really annoying i think.
Spoiler
1) Its called Ryukendo, but is thisan reason to give him 99,89% off all the Madan Keys?
Esspecially the Final Key, it was Parted in three, and in the watchback they were also three Warriors, so why it has to fuse back into one, instead of given 1 Part to each Warrior...
2) In Part 49 or 50, DaiMaOu-sama is Fusioning with Doctor Worm, and kicks the asses of the Madan Warriors to Hell, where the Epi ended, but after that he never apeears again, just where the Hell is he disappeared to?

Re: Is this series worth continuing?
1) Well, for starters, Ryukendo was the star of the series? As with any show of this kind, the cooler you make the main hero look by giving extra gadgets and extra powers, the more it sells. Besides, Ryujinoh kicked enough ass without the need of an Ultimate Key.Farr wrote:1) Its called Ryukendo, but is thisan reason to give him 99,89% off all the Madan Keys?

They made up for Ryukendo's 15 keys (just throwing out a number) by giving Ryugunoh (Magna RyuGunOh) a power up and Ryujino a new Trinity attack (which Ryujinoh is stronger on a base level than the others anyway). And there were plenty of episodes that character focused on Fudou or Shiranami and only had Kenji join in at the end.
As for what happened to Worm/GrenGhost, what happened was when Ryukendo went to the Power Spot and powered up himself and the others to Ultimate, he also powered up GrenGhost enough for him to abandon (therefore killing) Dr. Worms Body... Watch EP. 50 again and you'll see that he doesnt just dissappear.
Now MY only gripe is, THEY wore the same civilian clothes for 52 episodes!!!!!!!!!! Now thats annoying
