Kamen Rider S.A.M. ( Honkai Star Rail 2.0+ Spoilers )

[@epiclinksam9805]

The Firefly/Sam X Kamen Rider jokes are peak fiction.

[@kam1yama_]

at this point, it should be official. if not, i'll kms

[@matthewbrune5490]

and Gundam and Warframe as well

[@Reader999]

If we don't see a henshin from her, we'll riot.

[@pablotomasllodra4423]

I love how the community just accepted SAM/Firefly is a Kamen Rider.

[@matthewbrune5490]

Think it's mostly the eyes and transformation

[@Kalishta00]

LMAO I never expected Kamen Rider memes from HSR but here we are. Definitely the best timeline.

[@thetrung2312]

ah yes the ryuki opening song alive a life and the glass break

[@gosukuma9369]

The fact that everyone chose to go with Ryuki's theme, either the opening or the Revolution, is just fascinating to me lol

[@rifarira9160]

ryuuki roll is most known by even the people outside the fandom after all

[@Watarigarasuuuu]

she kinda looks like ryuki too tbh,the head part atleast,eyes/face covered by bars

[@RustyHarmonica]

Add to the fact that Ryuki himself and the time he uses the Survive Rekka (Blaze, Flame) card to go into his final form is what links Ryuki and Sam together.

[@SpultoBNMTheMutuallyUnrequited]

The Themes also Incredibly Fits Firefly/Sam

[@nameless_moon]

Also, Sam's "battlefield on fire" motif lmao.

[@TKP83349]

WE'RE SEVING FOR FIREFLY WITH THIS ONE!🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@tfarelacey]

can you imagine a live action of this, with the bad but charming kamen rider cg we all love

[@rifarira9160]

is it still that old now adays? I saw a clip of kamen rider doing their special effect attack and to me its doesnt look bad.

[@pond9875]

​@@rifarira9160yeah, nowadays CGI in Kamen rider does look good but there's still a little bit of that "jankiness". That's why people love it.

[@Crab20665]

You should see Zi-O and the Another Build fight. Its hilarious with the CGI

[@PnoyBlargh]

Build’s final transformation with RabbitDragon was super janky too.

[@justinx.8949]

I can't believe I got Ryukirolled by Star Rail

Alive A Life, nice Maybe I should take this as a sign to rewatch Ryuki lmao

[@YunShuXie0]

Wow that's Ryuki, TATAKAEE

[@goldenauthorize7053]

If you notice white night music video sam helmet visor look different

[@FateTheArcher]

Yeah! At first I thought maybe the gold guard for it was pulled up, but it is very different! Maybe that design is like an upgrade/power up. It would make sense; since in game Sam's flames are a normal color and in White Night they're green and gold

[@rafaeltiburcio6624]

@@FateTheArcher It's her Cast off

[@rifarira9160]

@@rafaeltiburcio6624 Nah, thats penacony survivor form

[@Saphori_de_Rosa]

The kamen rider ryuki opening is my favorite opening song, it's really good and fit with many thing

[@RePhantomz]

I know that recent kamen rider is not exclusively bug themed anymore. But it would be interesting ift SAM is created from propagation bug based on the iron cavalery lore againts the swarm.

[@AnArtistInAVoid]

The transition at 0:55 is super clean

[@candranurahman6850]

Firefly: Ore wa Tatakae. Candra: Dakara omaeh wa Nani ga mamoritai.

[@MeloettodioS]

EPIC! Now to shatter more mirrors...

[@FateTheArcher]

This came about because I was working on a different MV and was sending it to a friend for advice, and I mentioned the connection to Kamen Rider. She then said, "What's Kamen Rider" -- and while trying to explain, I realized that Parodying a Kamen Rider opening would be a fun project Sadly, the other MV is still not done. Maybe soon, though 😅

[@irfanrabbani2118]

With all the train theme in star rail i kinda except firefly to be den o

[@FateTheArcher]

@irfanrabbani2118 that was a consideration, but ultimately- My first Kamen Rider series was the English adaptation of Ryuki (Dragon Knight)... but I prefer the Ryuki opening over the Dragon Knight op for editing.... so in the end my nostalgia won out.

[@SpultoBNMTheMutuallyUnrequited]

​@@irfanrabbani2118 But Ryuki Fits Firefly Herself more with wanting To Survive

[@Reader999]

HSR is just Kamen Rider at this point. The train is from Den-O, Trailblazer is passing by, and Firefly will SURVIVE.

[@vinny8589]

honestly I Feel like the name Sam is some kind of acronym for the Kamen Rider style armor not Firefly's actual name to be honest.. Strategic Assault Mech? just spit balling possibilities here. Also it's a good reference to consider the SAM Armor similar to a Kamen Rider instead of a Super Sentai since Kamen Riders stories tend to be much darker plus it's normally linked to some bioengineering or crazy mad scientist tech or Bull-sh.t anime science mumbo jumbo as the explaination, Also Kamen Rider armor actuall LOOKS like Armor instead of some bright colored jumpsuit only.

[@FateTheArcher]

That was my thought too! I didn't know what the acronym would stand for though. Strategic assault mech is a good one!

[@vinny8589]

the armor could also be linked to Firefly's illness like it's prolonging her life in some way? Like maybe S.A.M. could be the acronym of Survival Assistance Mechanism/Mecha. That's ONLY IF what she told us about her illness was actually true, though it's a theory but I feel it's valid enough to consider. Your thoughts? @@FateTheArcher

[@FateTheArcher]

@vinny8589 I think the idea that it's "survival assistance mech" is interesting-- and i do believe that the armor acts as a form of medical stasis for Firefly when she is on missions.... but I don't think that'd be the actual acronym based on what we know from the Glamoth relic set; I think the "Strategic Assault Mech" acronym is a better fit. Sam, and thusly Firefly, are from Glamoth's Iron Calvary. Based on what we know from those sets, Firefly is a genetically modified/artificial human. It's likely that being created instead of born made the members of the Iron Calvary predisposed to Lost Entropy Syndrome, if not being the outright cause of the syndrome. I dont think we know enough about Lost Entropy Syndrome to be able to say whether Firefly was lying or not... so we only have the Glamoth Lore thats been released to play off of. I'm of the oppinion she wasnt lying... but I'm also super biased towards Firefly's character so

[@vinny8589]

I think most players care about Firefly at this point given she was with the Trailblazer since all the craziness on Penacony began. I know i wanted to get revenge for her "death" as did the community as a whole from what I observed at least anyway. So I'm not gonna fault ya for being invested or biased towards Firefly. Honestly that just shows how invested in the story uare also , lolz🤣 @@FateTheArcher

[@AXCWZ]

Sam got that KM Knight look.

[@user-oh3rl6vr8d]

ありがとう!!!

[@tratamarack441]

This might just be coincidence, but Ryuki died in the same way that firefly "died" at 0:30. Great edit btw.

[@blue01]

If you dont fight... You wont survive...

[@cholonight96]

Does this mean Kamen Rider Sam gets a Survive Form?

[@FateTheArcher]

We'll have to see haha

[@jakey14344]

We see it in the leaks. Firefly will become W Extreme with wings and stuff.

Damm the edit is goat.

[@rodelchristopherd.parena4718]

This fits damn............

[@fachrulwicaksana3718]

I guess firefly's henshin device will be match for Bima satria garuda instead of kamen Rider (Bima use some kind of glove for henshin device instead of belt)

[@FateTheArcher]

Yeah! Looks almost like something you'd see a magical girl use tbh. Like Sailor Moon's Henshin pens, or MGLNs various devices. Might have been part of the inspiration as well

[@buildchange3009]

Is it ok for you and your friend to watch some of my ‘Kamen Rider Star Rail’ music videos? I want people to know more about how Kamen Rider is similar to Honkai Star Rail characters as well

[@Hakeemadib]

her armor reminds me more of Ryukendo, its probably cause of the visior

Best waifu (no I don't mean firefly)

[@AlbedoSonOfRhinedottir]

When SAM turn to Firefly if you watch in reverse does it look like her doing the henshin?

[@FateTheArcher]

When I was editing, I was considering reversing the clip to see if it'd fit like a henshin. But I had issues with getting another clip in a different video to reverse earlier that day.... and didn't want to risk Capcut taking 4 hours to reverse it and have it not even look good, haha

[@bluemorpho3221]

i mean who wouldnt want a kamen rider gf

[@KoeSeer]

wouldn't it be funny if the next series Toei just blatantly make a kamen Rider name "Kamen Rider SAM"??
