KIKAIDER 01 (Episode 1)

The Android is a robot made precisely in the image of man. Scientists are now on the last stages of completing Dr. Gill’s troops of such robots which are to be used in the evil scheme of monopolizing all the wealth on earth.
However, among the Androids is one called Kikaider. It was made by Dr. Komyoji so much like man that its human conscience conflicts with submitting to Dr. Gill. Kikaider becomes a fighter for justice.
Learning of this, Dr. Gill orders his troops to eliminate Kikaider, who is obstructing his plan to take over the world. Endless battles ensue. Kikaider, riding on his red motorcycle equipped with various fantastic devices, changes into his fighting attire.

I flipping love watching these old school series for the practical effects. Nowadays it's easy to use CGI to do special effects for transformation sequences or combat effects, but the cleverness and ingenuity for some of these techniques is amazing, especially for stuff during the time it was made. If you pause at the start of 9:44 you can see one of the explosives they used for the fight was on a wire before it was set off, but the explosion and the smoke was fast enough to hide it from the audience. Remember, this was during the 70s, a time that footage couldn't be very easily scrutinized for those kinds of details: most of the time, you would only ever see that episode the one time, maybe more than that if you were lucky enough to afford a VCR AND cassette tapes to record stuff at the time. Bottom line, the fact they even thought of doing something like that in the 70s, let alone for a split-second mid-air shot, is brilliant.

Watched as a kid in Hawaii also. True none of us understood the plot of the shows at all but we all wanted to be Kikaida.

[@daringilmore6470]

Same for me! Still here in Hawaii and Kikaida is THE man!!!

[@YUNGDE4DSH4WTY]

Yessaaa

[@musicmike1960]

When my father was stationed at Pearl Harbor back in the early 70's I would watch this show never knowing what they were saying...It was very cool to a kid from Upstate NY...What I would give to go back to those days...Hawaii and new experiences...

[@BSKTSnGraV]

Where were you after all these years when I was trying to find free episodes. Thank u thank u a million times thank you!!!!!

[@carl112466]

I watched this when I was kid and lived in Hawaii back in the 70's. I didn't understand a word of the show but it was cool.

[@carl112466]

@Toku Thoughts yes it did but I was just learning to read.

[@carl112466]

@Toku Thoughts all the time. In fact I was thinking of tracking down those move on DVD

[@EvilSandwich]

They were airing this in reruns on local Honolulu stations all the way up to the early 80s. I remember because my mom was always telling me stories of how I would run around our apartment as a toddler screaming "Kikaider! Zero! One!" I'm told I used to watch reruns of Rainbowman a lot too. lol

[@yusrizalsensei6759]

Are you 50th year old?

[@Angry-est]

My father watched this as a kid, got me into it a decade ago, its fun going back in time watching this stuff

[@AvengerII]

Fun little show. Actually very imaginative without taking itself TOO seriously. That's a problem I have with a lot of the American superhero comics and movies lately. Very good designs. You can tell it's from the 1970s but that's not a bad thing in this case. I skipped the anime when Bandai brought it over and it's long out of print. Too bad because there is something of a Tokusatsu renaissance going on in the US. The fandom is still not that big but people have money (or will find it) if you offer something with value to them.

[@JAGUARHX]

PLEASE, TOEI: Make Kikaiders meet Kamen Rider Zero-One.

I don’t understand why they block the Sentai shows and allow others 😡 they aired all these in Hawai’i during the 70s...even Gorenja and Battle Fever J. Tokusatsu please find a way to allow Hawaii users to view the other programs.

[@mikewood6071]

As a 3rd grader navy brat in Hawaii in 1973 I’ll swear that Kikaider, kikaider 01, Kamen Rider, and Zaboga, developed my speed reading and reading retention abilities, because you had to read the episodes while you acted them out with your friends at the same time…. NOBODY wanted to be Rainbow Man lmao
