Indeed, truly a legend rider, the saviour of rider franchise, and the only ost dat stick to my head till i grow up lol

[@2rrkd]

What I most like about Kuuga is that the writers made sure not to make it like the Showa era at all. Before Kuuga, Kamen Riders have always been cyborgs or remodeled in some way, and for some reason kept their identities secret from their closest allies, here Kuuga was just a regular guy who put on an old belt to gain his powers, and didn't really care about keeping a secret identity at all. Also, while the Showa villains were secret organizations that try to take over the world, with plans usually involving stealing someone's inventions, holding hostages to get something and NEVER keeping their promises to free them, and most of the time and the leader is something that never actually gets fought, in Kuuga the villains are an ancient tribe that only care about killing humans and not much else, and the leader does end up fighting Kuuga. This show proved that they could make a Kamen Rider series without relying on any tropes from the past, and sure nowadays Kamen Rider is overloaded with Riders, more focused on collectables and belts that just won't shut up (Though I would be lying if I said they weren't a guilty pleasure of mine), but at least there's more creative freedom in what they can do.

[@RichardX1]

But they still paid tribute to the original by having the first two monsters based on the same animals as the original KR's first two monsters of the week.

[@Joshua_N-A]

Joe Odagiri before he became famous. Also this is my first Kamen Rider during childhood. This is probably the only Heisei KR with the highest body count. Gurongis are brutal and merciless. The director seems to want an X-files KR. Kuuga's Ultimate Form is the only form that didn't show its finishing move. Also what I like about Kuuga is to police isn't always useless and try to adapt to the situation and Kuuga doesn't call his attacks when executing the final blow/finisher or mention what form he is turn into. They are only mentioned in supplementary materials. The final battle was awesome. No screaming your attacks and fancy finishers. Just a brutal duel to the death. They even keep figjting after reverting to their human form after damaging their respective belts.

It's named after the actor who played Godai but I'm sure someone will reply to this and put the nane of the actor in to show their "super smart" (*sarcasm*). Apparently a lot of women in their 30s and older watched Kuuga because they had the hots for Godai. So "The Godai Factor" is basically get a hot, sexy man, and make him the lead.

You mean 'Heisei Riders' right?

[@mohjimy6887]

@@fauzenel-samadani5208 nope, you can research why kuuga is legend. Because without kuuga maybe kamen rider no more create

[@hikaru_4351]

Kuuga saved Kamen Rider, not Toei. Toei is a big film company, they make a lot more stuffs than tokusatsu. So even if there's no Rider or Sentai, Toei would be just fine

[@fauzenel-samadani5208]

@@mohjimy6887 that exactly what I mean, because of how popular Kuuga Toei can make continuation from the franchise (Heisei Riders+Reiwa Riders), but if you say that 'without Kuuga maybe Kamen Rider not exist' that's totally wrong, because he is not the first one, before Kuuga there are Showa Riders, so even if Kuuga does not exist the existence of 'Kamen Rider' itself won't changes because it has already existed long before Kuuga exist

[@mohjimy6887]

@@fauzenel-samadani5208 no, u not get the point. "not exist" it is by now not, maybe like agito, faiz, blade etc not exist if kuuga bad at rating

[@fauzenel-samadani5208]

Lmao, I just finished rewatching the BD version of this series hour ago, and then this video showing up on my KZbin

[@rafitechnic]

Tokusatsu terbaik pokoknya nya, udah HD banget..

The legendary Rider ! Kamen Rider Kuuga !

[@muhammadhilman6258]

Hope this channel can upload all of episodes of this series.

[@Vegadra]

You can watch the whole series on Tubi.

[@haniffat]

@@Vegadra it's there on Tubi but theres no option to watch it, I watch mine on VRV for free and its HD with English subtitles, but downside is I have to use VPN and connect to the US server to watch it

[@shogun1528]

Where is ep3 of kamen rider ryuki?

[@lkmkc]

Miss those time when there are people actually would die in Kamen rider! It just feels so real to watch that Now the rider be like: HUGE World crisis, human may be extincted but actually no one died

[@arx117]

That's why i stop watching when Neo-heisei started. Everything is downhill since then. And recently i watch reiwa, it became much worst. All CGI fest spam skills

[@Void_Out]

@Hai Nguyen Gonna be real with you, age has nothing to do with why you dislike it, you just dislike it, since I’m also 22 and actually enjoy a lot of the new shit.

[@piorism]

Is the high framerate look the way it was originally shot and aired, or is it some post process smooth motion that was added for the home release ?

[@MURAMURAchannel]

Ultraman and Kamen Rider (until Hibiki) were aired like that, I don't know how they do it and I still don't know why after Hibiki this format was replaced by the Super Sentai recording style with low framerate and far shots.

[@piorism]

@@MURAMURAchannel Hello ! Thank you for the information, I will keep an eye out for the later series then. Had a look at the beginning of Ex-Aid and enjoyed it so far :)

[@wahyurivaldy136]

the legend itself

[@rizfarchan_]

I'm just gonna say Kuuga is my favorite Rider because it's my first, but also because when I rewatched it when I was older, the story is actually a combination of light-hearted without the cheap comedy (that many of KR have since Kabuto) and dark without being edgy. It' strikes a nice balance that I couldn't say Kuuga is light-hearted nor could I say Kuuga is dark. Kuuga is just... Kuuga and can't be described with any other words.

[@UCdtq8L-sPVBtmc7676MuQzw]

Hopefully, they will upload all the episodes.

[@logicaltips4107]

All of Kuuga is subbed on ShoutFactory

[@dboymax1]

@@logicaltips4107 Wish this KZbin channel will sub ALL their shows that they post instead of the first few episodes of each show....

I think its not Will happen Just like Ichigo,Amazon Ryuki And Agito It just 2 eps

[@UCdtq8L-sPVBtmc7676MuQzw]

@@DX555ALTVEG Yeah... I think only 2 episodes will be upload. But, thanks to this channel for bringing the nostalgia of Tokusatsu. Kudos.

@@logicaltips4107 iirc TokuSHOUTsu is only available in North America so don't expect Indonesia being able to watch it (unless VPN)

[@arvin6606]

They use the mask as "souvenir from indonesia" as tribute to many kamen rider fans in indonesia during showa era

[@wannabe41]

Kuuga is the GOAT of Kamen Riders!

[@harimanmuhammad4471]

_Kuuga Ksatria Baja Hitam._ _Kuuga pembela kebenaran._ _Kuuga memang kuat sekali....._ Wow, I have watched from first until last episode. But, I cannot see last fight scene (last episode) between Kuuga and monster that had been cut by RCTI television broadcast station; except I only see that Godai's girlfriend was crying because Godai was dead.
