[@aestus2696]

honestly my favorite thing about Build's jingles is how at first it's like, oh haha the belt asks you "are you ready", that's cute but then things get increasingly traumatizing for the protagonists, and then the "are you ready" call is played for dramatic effect, like the belt's really asking them if they're up to keep fighting even though things are gonna get worse

[@jayisabird6031]

This is just kazumin's last henshin

[@freddi00]

Episode 21's "ARE YOU READY?" hit so hard

[@tripled2096]

My favorite bit is from the be the one movie where it asks "Are you Ready!?" and banjou straight-up says "NO, I'M NOT" before being caught up in cross-z build

[@FranBattery95]

Kabuto did had voices tho. Not many but it did have. "Henshin", "Cast Off", "Change Beetle", "1 2 3", "Rider Kick", "Clock Up" and "Clock off"

[@lumionne0]

short and sweet👌

[@KouhaiKamen]

Kabuto and Faiz has the best short and sweet sound "Standing by, Complete" "Awakening"

[@justinarzola4584]

Also the hyper zector sounds.

[@lopezroilans.8384]

@@KouhaiKamen "Exceed charge"

[@axeoseilez3207]

Kabutos belt voices are incredible its what got me into the series. Clock over

[@Aproximal]

Gaims make a lot of sense when you think of the whole stage part. It's Sengoku ear. Big, loud, overblown stage movements in plays were their thing, and that's part of the theme of performance.

I always liked how zero-one's voices at the end of the jingles sounded like marketing slogans. It really fit the whole company president theme.

[@ZEDEX252]

God i love all xross saber jingles. It sounds so majestic like it's this grand appearance of a savior. Fun fact: xross saber as of now is the longest jingle in kamen rider, beating the likes of grand zi-o and even geiz majesty

[@kuroganeshoichirou1779]

This is no a jiggle but a short focking fairy tale

[@Marcosatsu]

This was supposed to come out last week but Zelda Tears of the Kingdom had all my attention.

[@watchtokustatsu]

I'm surprised no one mentioned Thouser. I'll never forget "When the five horns cross the golden soldier, Thouser, is born."

[@WanderingRonin509]

Presented by Zaia

[@Seijik4702]

Thouser's theme goes real hard

[@SirSadness]

01 has my favorite jingles in all of toku. The announcer saying a cool phrase is the cherry on top. "When I Shine, darkness fades!"

[@ethanreyes2631]

I gotta say, the simplicity of Geats is refreshing after years of in your face jingles.

[@Doflaminguard]

I hate that singer guy announcer.

[@nkyfong]

And then we got Boost MKIX

[@DBAWFUL]

Rising Hopper is my FAVORITE standby jingle. it really sounds like something badass is about to happen

[@Tfbrave]

The one thing that always bugged me about Muteki and Xros Saber was that they always felt like they wanted to turn them into full songs, but for some reason never did

[@Alastorchaos]

Says the Kuuga 'jingle' isn't memorable, then *recites the process to the sound and more or less nails the effect on a whim.* Seems memorable to me, boss.

[@userPeterSteves]

Gaim's jingle always makes me want to drink some juice, sepcially with the soda parts.

[@ethanreyes2631]

You don’t know how many times the hyper muteki jingle has gotten stuck in my head.

[@MrBlazemaster525]

[@samwill7259]

The closer that a trinket gets to fully **singing** with harmony and a little rhyme the more it works on me It's why Saber has some of my favorite jingles, there's so much LIFE to them. Edit: Emotional Dragon is LITERALLY the one I was thinking of when I wrote this XD

[@BurgerBoi2911]

I too am a sucker for harmonising jingles

[@bungieman2810]

I love Kabuto Hyper's voice calls. I can't get enough of "RIDER JUMP!!!"

[@justinarzola4584]

1,2,3 RIDER KICK.

[@Cyanmations.OBJECT]

RIDER PUNCH!

[@WakoDoodle]

The thing about fourze I like is the countdown. I don't think I've heard any other belt count down to your transformation, it builds up hype before the reveal. It's not the best belt by far, but I find the best jingle are always the ones that hype you up like "WHAT'S COMING UP?!" or "ARE YOU READY?!", like they're telling the audience something amazing will happen or encourage them to cheer! Imagine a martial arts themed kamen rider and the standby was different kinds of crowd cheering; like they're at a tournament. It's why I love it when movies and games include similar things like pokemon did in sword and shield's gyms. Get ready, for a spectacular battle!

[@lawden210]

2 things i love about the Revice jingles are: The standbys(especially Demons' choir), and the "X Up!" theme

[@ashikjaman1940]

Liberal Up is quite possibly one of the greatest phrases ever

[@TheQuarterGuy]

What was that line again? Oh yeah! "A BRAND NEW TOY!"

[@rbrown4590]

While longer jingles can be pretty neat for super/final forms, I always prefer simpler jingles. That’s why Geats’ jingles, Zi-O’s base jingles, and a lot of the Heisei Phase 1 jingles appeal to me a lot. I’ll agree that Saber’s jingles didn’t do much for me either. Most of them just drag on for way longer than necessary.

[@zenithmarshadow5098]

Tokimeki Crisis is a cuteness overload to me. It has Poppys voice yet it has this sense of action from the music that u have to somewhat find it intimidating and strong.

[@excite8263]

Man Faiz is my most favorite series cause of the cool gadgets and the techno style, the suits are also cool and the red drill rider kick.

[@sauron153]

The one jingle I have to call out as my absolute favorite has got to be Geiz Majesty. While the standby for it was ok, once he transformed, the song that they played was just all kinds of epic. It was just them calling out the secondary rider names, but the buildup as they came to the end of the list and held out "Kamennnn Riderrrr....Geiz Majesty!" was just perfect. I jumped through a few hoops to make sure I got that ride watch for the collection, right besides the Oma Zi-O driver (another good sound there too).

[@TheArceusftw]

Yeah, alot of the jingles are easy earworms! Hell, like most Kamen Rider fans; I find myself spurting them out loud. As for my favorites: Den-o: Sword form standby OOO: All of them Fourze: Fourze driver standby, Meteor driver standby Wizard: Wizard driver standby, Flame style, Water Style, Infinity style Gaim: Baron Standby, Zangetsu standby(Fun fact: Zangetsu's activation riff is the same for the Japanese digivolution theme Brave Heart) Drive: Drive driver standby, Mach Driver standby, Break gunner henshin Ghost: Ghost Driver standby, Eyecon Driver G standby, Eyecon Driver G(Grateful Damshii) henshin, Necrom Driver standby Ex-aid: Well all of them are awesome(Mainly because they're sung by THE Hironobu Kageyama) But if I had to choose; Jet combat level 3, Shakariki Sports 3, Juju Burger Level 3, perfect Knockout, Dangerous zombie level X, Kamen Rider Chronicle(Chronus version), Bang Bang simulations standby, Tokimeki Crisis Level 1, (god)Maximum mighty X standby and henshin, Hyper Muteki/Zettai Fumetsu Henshin Build: Build genius henshin, Zi-o: Woz standby, Shinobi henshin, Quiz henshin, Kikai henshin, Geiz revive standby, Grand Zi-o Standby and Henshin, Ohma Zi-o henshin Zero-One: Zero-One driver standby, Shotriser standby, Thouser henshin, Metal Cluster standby and henshin(Fun fact; The AIBO dogs had a update to dance to the Metal Cluster Hopper jingle) Zero-Two standby Saber: Xros saber henshin Revice: Rex standby, Jeanne Henshin, Agulera Henshin, Giffard Rex henshin, Juuga driver standby and henshin Geats: Boost and Magnum henshin

[@lawden210]

I LOVE the pseudo text to speech of the Zero one jingles. Also how the sentences sound like they're ripped from a Wikipedia article

[@TheUberJulian]

The Gaim announcements are some of my favourites - especially the Energy riders. For Ex-Aid, Poppy's Tokimeki Crisis jingle is soooo good. Other personal faves include Meteor, Paradx, Rogue, Woz, and Thouser.

[@bismarsyauqie7885]

Kamen rider jingle can be a double edge sword, on one hand it sound catchy, felt really good to listen, and pretty much enchanched an epic moment in the franchised. But on the other hand, it can be eargrinding to listen, and sometimes the jingles can ruined some serious moment in the franchise.

[@murasAme19]

Mighty Brothers XX's henshin (the one where they split, not the one where they're still one) and Grateful are the most memorable jingles for me off the top of my head, but Grand Zi-O and Geiz Majesty are definitely fun.

[@ProfDragonite]

To me, its a balance between iconic, catchy, and complicated. Think Kabuto, W, Gaim, Ex-Aid, Build, Zero-One, or Geats. Each is instantly recognizable, unique, and just long enough to stick without being unbearable. Of course, the best standby will ALWAYS be Woz. IWAE!

[@strangetomato3021]

I love how gaim and build have this wrestling/boxing match introduction to them, like it's theme music for the rider

[@Pokesatsu96]

you left out the best part of vrx! that last bit where it says V R X is perfect!

[@sirjay-rdalida499]

I was waitning for Glare 2. I loved that!

[@ForestGrantGaming]

Kuuga kinda had transformation sounds in how the sfx builds up as he transforms. I especially like Titan’s

[@A1t3ra]

My absolute favorite jingle with announcer in it is Dragonic Knight's jingle, it's just so good.

[@codyholley]

I love it too

[@marcusong4551]

I thought Blade came first before Decade in terms of the amount of sound effects for the toys. The Rouse Cards gives different unique announcements, as well as a special announcement if you swipe in a specific 2 or 3 card combo (e.g. "Lighting Sonic", "Spinning Dance").

[@youraveragemachine1013]

While not my favourite theres just something magical about showa era henshin sounds especially ichigi,nigo and black,rx

[@mattwo7]

Venkyra21 made a mashup of standby jingles that worked weirdly well together WizarDriver: Vocals Build Driver: Percussion Laser Raise Riser: Synth

[@woomylover2006]

Gazers standby is a blessing to my ears

[@jancelabobo8238]

Zero-One's trinket's i genuinely loved and waited weekly for

[@cloudbran]

Glad to see my bois Daiji & Kagero cracked your top 10 for me personally The Holy Live standby is my favorite "Wings to Fly! Wings to Fly!" Love it literally my alarm sound 💯

[@GaussedUp]

I feel like I'm not the only one who would put the faiz "standing by" as my ringtone

[@notRowan61]

when the muteki transformation jingle came on I returned to my toku phase and started watching geats

[@Autumnfurry2099]

One thing that I notice about the Zero one belt voice is that it sounds very similar to Kanji Tang (English va for Gojo and Ichiban)

[@jeannite_danchou]

"Turn up" hits different

[@mattwo7]

I do like the Ex-Aid jingles BTW, I mostly just made the alternate jingles videos (which I was honestly surprised did as well as they did but didn't do nearly as well when I tried to move them to my non-content channel) as a tribute to both Ex-Aid and the history of video games.

[@jing8927]

5:07 Wait, you see sounds? You mean sound waves?

[@MegaSceptile99]

20:06 Gazer II

[@AnhMai-ih8vc]

My top 5: 1. Tajadol combo 1st henshin sound 2. Grand Zio henshin sound 3. Gazer standby sound 4. Woz standby sound 5. Evil/live standby sound

[@inazumatheoni4550]

I freaking love all the jingles in the franchise. But my favourite rider is Necrom: Stand By - Yes Sir! - Loading! - Tengan - Necrom - Mega Ulord - CRUSH THE INVADER!!! I love Alain as a character so much that I even made a cosplay of him in his black uniform.^^

[@TheRealHiboman]

Blasphemous as it may be to Ichigo’s legacy, I say Super-1 is THE iconic Showa henshin sound

[@mxtt_ism5063]

Say what u want about saber but primitive dragon and Xross saber will be in my top 10

[@Anderegg2007]

Xcross saver is not a jingle, but a literal story

[@BioniclesaurKing4t2]

It feels criminal not mentioning Type Formula's standby sounds directly. That, Gaoh's, Specter's normal form, and Maximum Mighty X are among my top tier.

[@Ziko577]

Xross Saber's is awesome! It's too bad that it wasn't used much due to it coming so late in the show.

[@MrStrykerprime]

I binged watches ex-aid and its side and post series content in 2 days and it might be the first kamen rider season i rewatch i absoluetly love that season but not more than OOO's but it is very close

[@kreasekroz9127]

My only favorite announcements from Reiwa other than Geats is Zero-One drivers stating what the progrise keys could do. Like "Fangs that can chomp through concrete" or like "Enough power to annihilate a mountain"

[@HordikaNate3821]

My favorite has to be Hyper Muteki "Kangayakeeeee ryuusei no gotokuuuu, ougon no saikyo gamerrr, Hyper Muteki Ex-aaaaaiiiddd"

[@Frostbite_from_MLBB]

Grand Zi-O is my favourite kamen rider jingles of all time it literally made the jingle so catchy and epic just by saying every riders name and henshin jingles

[@blacksun9042]

My favorite standby jingle has gotta woz ginga & henshin jingle is 01 metal cluster hopper

[@meric12131415]

I'd say my favourites from the heisei era would probably be mighty creator vrx and a fan favourite hyper muteki oh yeah and a bonus definitely the greese blizzard I absolutely love that one hands down on of my favourites

[@jenovazsim200]

For me the best still "Standing by, Complete"

[@MrRedkid555]

Fun fact: Woz's jingle is my ringtone.

[@TheRealHiboman]

My favorite thing about Geiz Majesty, that puts it in the upper tier of my favorite jingles, is that the voice actor is going SO HARD on the long notes at the end that he has to take a breath. Like it’s an intentional PART of the jingle to emphasize the awesomeness “Cross-Z. Kamen Riiiidaaaaaaahhhh… *pause for breath* HAAAAHHHHHH!!! GEIZ! Majeeesutyyyyy”

[@meric12131415]

Oh yeah and fun fact I've had both the den o sword form standby sound as my ringtone as well as woz and now grease blizzard

[@Zoten001]

I just want Drive's Type Speed armor. Has to be one of the BEST looking base forms in Phase 2.

[@magnacharge_tech]

My fav jingles are drive tridoron and ex-aid muteki

[@3miL_2012]

Dragonic Knight from Saber is so good, sorta disappointed that wasn't mentioned

[@gigangreg7837]

Tbh I love the Ryuki jingles. "ADOVENTO". "STORAIKU VENTO". "FINARU VENTO". I could listen to that shit ALL DAY man

[@GreenLanternPrime01]

Honorable mentions to Kamen Rider Meteor's standby and Kamen Rider OOO Putotyra!

[@TheFuzzyOcelot]

Personally, I think the Geiz Majesty jingle is a little better than the Grand Zi-O one. Mostly because with Grand it sounds like the voice is trying to get all the Rider names out as fast as it can, while Majesty takes it slow enough to do a breakdown from Birth to Brave. Of course, they're both fantastic regardless. Xross Saber's jingle just gets better every time, man. Especially when you start looking into what's actually being said and combine it with some of the imagery. The web of swords falling from the sky, an all-powerful miracle from the stars, here to rewrite the story. Makes me wish the start of the season was as good as the later half.

[@adamjyuken3449]

Live’s jingle is just so good

[@kuma2448]

Woz Standby is such a banger

[@anthonythomas305]

The Reiwa Rider's jingles are amazing

[@claptivity]

I thought gazer is just gazer, the one who has 2 is glare (by chirami, rip blud) Imo, geats mark 9 will prob be the best one for me since mark 3 made me wanna listen over and over again. Previously i love zeronos jingle and den o's climax form. Now gazer has amazing catchy tune just like woz

[@kirisaki_touma]

xross saber probably have the longest henshin sound

[@Big-Image]

I agree with Xross Saber being one of the best jingles, but I find it a shame that it's connected to what is essentially a repaint of the base form. Not to mention the fact that it uses the same book and lackluster belt, as it just adds insult to injury.

[@iceprincealex8875]

In terms of jiggles my favourites are gazer geiz majesty and drive type tridoron

[@canadiangovernmentproblems767]

I remember at the start of the school year I think I made Grease Blizzard standby my alarm. I hate it now

[@jessecardadeiro7635]

My favourite jungles are thundergale and Gifford Rex atm they’re just so fun

[@PerfectKingdom1]

Nice hair. -Link

[@RagnorokKing]

mighty creator VRX has one of my favorite jingles, so good I wish it were a full song

Xross Saber Henshin Feals Like Your A God

[@tobbe3430]

i love cronuses jingle and the build gashat too and zangetsus after jingle

[@hariztajuddin3710]

I just about to hate how he doesn't mention Xross Saber, but I watch to the end and satisfied

[@SuperDragonpain]

When i see Grand Zi-o in second place i know who is gonna be the number 1

[@mattwo7]

14:32 Grand Zi-O's jingle is everything Decade Complete 21's isn't (Zero-One aside)

[@cyberdragoon1432]

12:17 We can all agree that this one sounds the most flat out of the three(😂 get it).

[@UnknownJ25]

God Woz’s standby goes so so hard

[@PerfectKingdom1]

Xross saber kinda sounds link a national anthem

[@filiptrajkovski2198]

The only time i would say the henshin sounds went a bit too much was in Saber but thats mainly just the books and not the actual henshin but still those did go hand in hand so

[@eribirel]

I have geiz majesty henshin as my alarm and when he started playing it it gave me a heart attack

[@ianong5424]

Lets pray that geats 9 jingle is better than or least on par with xross saber

[@kamizala9521]

Why am I disagreeing with you on SO MANY LEVELS??

[@aalvein]

i know ppl has their own preferences but DAMN

[@DoctorErika]

Kamen rider saber emotional dragon song is a banger and I will stand on that hill and so is saber elemental dragon

[@tgiacin435]

I liked the morphers from mmpr-Dino thunder, they were mostly the Japanese toys

[@xzameynd]

You don't know that grease blizzard and woz was my phone ringtone
