![]() Zero-One: I think this show is very smart about how it uses the name. Except Blood and Killbas those guys just suck It’s shaky and I wouldn’t blame anyone for thinking otherwise but for me this one works. Mad Rogue is weaker in this regard, but feels like an extension of Evolt messing with the name and then later it turns out he’s a bit like Grease and Rogue as well. ![]() and they kind of are! But I also feel that Evolt is a specific subversion of the whole thing Build is a very smart series that directly homages the ideals of OG Rider to begin with and so I feel Evolt is a challenge to the name of Kamen Rider, especially given his direct connections to Sento and Banjou who put so much work into building that name up. I wouldn’t blame anyone for feeling that they are yet another final villain that the name Kamen Rider has hastily been given to for marketing and for the sake of selling toys. Finally, Evolt and Mad Rogue - and it can kinda go either way here. A little later you also have Grease and Rogue, who follow similar things to Agito and Saber where despite being villains at first they’re clearly destined to be heroes. ![]() To begin with, it’s very cool that Night Rogue and Blood Stalk have henshin devices (and gimmick items!) and are clearly armoured heroes but are never actually called Kamen Riders, even though functionally there’s little difference between them and the likes of Diend or Vulcan. ![]()
