20:00The riders are in suspended animation for 12 years because they rotate guard duty. One rider is awake and protects the world for a full year while the others are in suspended animation. At the end of the year, the rider wakes the next one line before going into suspended animation himself. It is explained that the reason they do this is because the decks are DNA coded to each rider so if a rider dies or is vented, the deck becomes useless and the world looses a hero.The only one who can unlock a deck to give it to another person is the Advent Master.

I even always point out, even to Ryuki fanboys, that Dragon Knight's story is also a reminiscent of the Showa Riders and even Kuuga. Thanks to Dragon Knight, it made me appreciate the Showa Riders shows even more (W, OOO, Gaim, Drive, and Ex-Aid are an exceptions). Heck, Kamen Rider Black is dark yet it's straightforward good vs evil plot with some drama in it. No wonder why there is a thing called Black RX being a light-hearted sequel.

Not saying that this series was flawless, but this was the push to get me into tokusatsu. After watching Ryuki and Dragon Knight, trying to compare them is like trying to compare apples to oranges. They're similar in very obvious ways, but they are also very different. If anything, I like the premise of Dragon Knight when compared to Ryuki.

I like to think this is canon to Power rangers and takes place during the gap between Jungle Fury and Samurai. No reason other than there's no Power rangers team running around during that period.

Kamen rider dragon knight was my gateway to the Kamen rider world. From before I watched Power rangers but grew out of it but was drawn to Kamen rider because it's more unique suit design. I also was drawn to it because the characters have more agency in their place in the fight. They do not have a team fall back to and place them right at the left leg of the zord. They need more justification for relationships than the power of friendship.

Good vid. This show is an interesting part of the Kamen Rider franchise’s history. Rather than an adaptation, I’d consider Dragon Knight a spin off, due to the fact that it carries the Kamen Rider name and it’s more of a retelling of Ryuki taking place in an alternate timeline with original characters (separate from Ryuki’s timeline).

But you didn't explain why Venting Torque was bit the writers in the ass.

@NicklasZandeVGCP2001

3 ай бұрын

They had to keep editing footage after that episode, since they killed Torque off earlier than he did in Ryuki, and so, it was likely one of the main reasons Siren was made part of the main cast.

I hate how Dragon Knight never took off in the west. I remember watching the show early in the morning when I was a kid and I loved it.

One thing I love is how in the us, we get rid of death, and killing, but replace it with something darker. Like the shadow realm in yugioh, or the void in dragon knight. Which honestly makes me admire power rangers more when they actually addressed death in multiple seasons. Hell, they showed a child getting murdered in lost galaxy.

Marcos: I prefer transform or let’s ride Me: Let’s ride! Ultra ride! What’s your ride? “I’m a Legend Rider”

I have heard that a lot of people did not like Kamen Rider Dragon knight a lot. But after this video, I was like "wow, the plot seems pretty good." I will put it in my backlist to watch.

It did take me a little while to get used to them saying "Kamen Rider" to transform, but after I did.. I loved this! Gave me exactly what I wanted in a Toku adaptation, with a dope concept (i love cards lmao) to go with it

42:52, the same thing can also be said about the anime Evangelion, how it went from being a simple monster of the week show to being extremely complex and having some of the main characters have some of the worst day of their lives. Thats kind of thing happening isn't the case here obviously but I think its something to think about a bit.

This show was awesome asf back in 2008. I was 12 years old when the show appeared, I was little sad and alone since I barely had any friends back in middle school. Fast forward: Now I'm 24 years old and I still love this show! This show is awesome sauce, thanks to the "Wang Brothers" who decided to give the show a more Serious tone through an americanized version of Kamen Rider Ryuki. After i finished watching this show, I decided to go on the internet to watch the Japanese original version of this show "Ryuki" to watch and learn about some cool things about the Original show. And honestly it's pretty awesome, I'm really enjoying the Original show, I'm on episode 6 right now. Sometime in the Future, when I buy a Portable Video recorder, I'll make some Review videos on my KZread channel my thoughts and feelings of the Show!

When Kit made a similar stance, it was burdened with his own sacrifices in consideration as well.

^You will realize that when you try to get past Highlander, Ryuki wasn't even better. It all boils down to opinion, though. Oh yes, Shinji is really weird. I don't know why Ryuki fanboys hailed Shinji as a guy with "big hero spirit" while he's also a douche just like every Rider in the show. More like that Ryuki is about a man who tries to save others yet he can't save himself. It is also debatable whether his motivations on saving people is *either it's the right thing to do... or he just want to play the hero than play the villain.* When he was killed off before the end of the series, it's disappointing that he died but it became more of an illustration that how pointless Kanzaki's Rider War was, and while he's technically alive at the end, everything that happened in series has been wiped away from existence, meaning that all Shinji's character development means nothing.

I don't like Incisor's design but I have to ask, have you ever looked at a crab and examined it? Of course it isn't the prettiest thing in the world.

I've always been a big fan of spirits he stories, among other things. So personally I think the No Men were a very interesting secondary antagonist. It's certainly a more original name then the Men in Black, or the Illuminati. And I certainly don't know very many Power Ranger TV shows that actually add a second big bad to the roster.

This Kamen Rider is my childhood so its really my favorite from all the kamen riders. I even remember trying to copy the final vent of Dragon Knight and let's say a bit injuries are made. I even made a cardboard box copy of the decks but no cards and belt.

JTC was saved by Xaviax because he was suppose to join the No men and ended up doing his bidding.

This is my first Kamen rider show that i watched briefly. Didn't get a chance to finish it, but it's the reason why i am a fan of Kamen Rider as a whole.

I'm probably one of the very few Ryuki/Dragon Knight fans who liked Scissors/Incisor suit :) Great content here, mate. I never got to see this series on TV so curious on it's parallels with the original Ryuki series.

Scissors's/Incisor's suit>>>>>>Gai's/Thrust That's just my silly opinion though

So a crab based kamen rider is named after a tooth?!

My childhood Kamen Rider series and my introduction along with Kuuga to the franchise overall!! 👌☺

This is nice. Ive just followed a whole season. Thanks man!! :)

I used to watch this show when I was little around 6 years old was when I first started watching it and dam I’m 15 now and it’s still. A good series I’m even in touch now with one of the actors on the show Stephen Stensford and dam I can not believe how happy This show has made me

I saw this show like 6/5 years ago. I didn't understand much back then but I do now and it's epic

Same.

Give me this show any day over Ryuki, and an example that adaptations CAN and DO work in the right hands. - Its creators aren't trying to be edgy for edginess' sake, whilst cashing in on something that ultimately ended up as a fad (Battle Royale), and done much better later on (Kamen Rider Gaim) - In fact, rather than try to deconstruct Shotaro Ishinomori's already cynical-yet-optimistic themes (be a hero, be human, even when you're physically not), they try to honor it, being actual fans, as opposed to Yasuko Kobayashi admitting she knew squat about KR. - Kit actually SHOWS he's a kind, selfless, understanding, and friendly hero type...unlike Shinji, who is a serious "told, not shown" guy, who's often stupid, rash, irrational, antagonistic, reliant on base impressions, and often unfairly shilled. - We have Len and Kit actually working together, and believable as a hero duo.

Well Ryuki is her first work so she was a bit spotty on KR

2021 - I still like Kamen Rider Dragon Knight. After watching Ryuki, I rewatched this series and, I don't know if I'm the only one, I like this even more. It feels like the right way to adapt Ryuki. Also, the card motif would've done really well, had this show had more exposure. Also, while most people don't know it - most of the Riders were played by professional martial arts stunt actors & Zaviax's actor was an experienced stage, TV, & movie actor; This gave the show a higher level of legitimacy, had people known. I feel like this was more of a SciFi Channel series than a kids cartoon block add-on...though we'll never know. Thanks for making this video essay!

2:50 The opening for the Japanese dub of Dragon Knight is amaazing tho

The whole "Saban was banned from adapting further Kamen Rider show" rumor is baseless assumption. The reason they never adapted any more Kamen Rider shows is because there was nothing else to adapt. RX was the latest series at the time when Saban's Masked Rider was made and it was already a few years old by the time the Americanized version was made. Kuuga didn't start airing until 2000 and by that time Saban probably wasn't that interested in making another Ameritoku series.

I agree. While I think this is a cool show, there are way too many plot points that spew around too late in the series. This show really could have done better as a movie series going something like this: Movie 1: Episodes 1-9 and some of episode 10 with Kit struggling to understand his identity as Kamen Rider Dragon Knight as well as who the good guys and bad guys are. Movie 2: Some of episode 10 and Episodes 11-15 (with all of 15 being skipped except for the last two minutes or so) in which the plot is centered around the stories of Brad Barrett and Chris Ramirez as well as Kit trying to understand where the dragon deck came from if not from Xaviax. Movie 3: Episodes 16-21, which center around the plot of looking for James (Kamen Rider Strike). Movie 4: Episodes 22-31 (with all of episode 29 being skipped except the last two minutes), which center around Kit battling his fears and dark temptations, then conclude with a huge battle. Movie 5: Episodes 32-40 (with all of the recap parts in 40 being skipped), in which Kit comes out of the advent void as merely perfected kamen rider and in which the plot centers around setting off all of the transmitters.

I've been looking forward to this one 😊

Xaviax would definitely want Kanzaki's research about the Mirror World. In exchange, he MIGHT give Kanzaki advanced medical technology for Yui. Emphasis on might

its morphine time: got accepted kamen rider: rejected

I think James was helping Xaviax because he helped him escape from prison. It must have been a gratitude motivation.

That would seem like a good reason.

The advent master aka Yublion is the Chairmen from Iron Chef And that is badass

i just finished rewatching ryuki and dragon knight and recently complete the rider time series for kamen rider ryuki what a bunch of nostalgia tbh

Man, Dragon Knight was my first ever "Kamen Rider" show and I loved it so much when I first watched it. It came out at the perfect time for my taste at that point of my life.

10:20 Hold on, is this doing a better job of using bikes than actual Kamen Rider?
