So Hanto’s what you call a “monster fucker”  huh?

He has a type I guess... though I do hope Shouma doesn't think Hanto just goes around pinning everyone down for funsies, that's gonna be a turnoff for sure 😂

[mxbbadperson]

sorry for being quiet for a bit there, got called by the bosses lol. nothing major.

anyway, since work day is slow... why do people think you hate Keiwa? I think I know of the "no praises for him" rhetoric, can you think of another reason why you think people think you hate Keiwa?

maybe bc i'm on ace's side on destryong the dgp and called keiwa hypocritical in wanting the dgp to keep going so he can get his wish granted despite being against the goddess. and maybe + me being in disbelief that keiwa believed nadge-sparrow over win and ace

[asknarashikari]

So, who started the bet this time? The Chocogummy bet? And who won in Gotchard’s time again and what did they do to the money?

The bet started as soon as Valen showed up, because by now it's expected for the main and secondary to have Heated Drama

And Houtaro won, he used the winnings to take Rinne on a date and gave some to Hopper-1 (because Hopper-1 conspired with the Gochizous to get them together lol). Hopper-1 spent it on a new dandy outfit and a Kahlua Milk at a nice little speakeasy

[asknarashikari]

Oh, Hanto is that guy, putting the full name on their contacts huh.

Well, he is a reporter, so he probably started doing it for his professional contacts then just got into the habit of it with his personal contacts as well. Not that Shouma is a "personal" contact at that point, he just knew him as Sachika's part-timer after all.

I started doing that myself when I started working, since I don't have a separate phone for work.

[asknarashikari]

Sooo, who among the secondaries would “convince” Hanto to dress up for Halloween? (assuming all identities are revealed)

Shouma, after giving him the Puppy Dog Eyes of Doom. He's whipped for Gavv-senpai

[asknarashikari]

So the Blu-ray special… has the segment  3nen G gumi where everyone is the student, Kajiki is the Vice Principal and Atropos is the teacher.

Atropos keeps on referencing Detective Conan while Kajiki tries to stop her. (They also name-dropped and censored "domain expansion" a technique that is used in the manga/anime Jujutsu Kaisen)

The most unhinged thing to come out of that special was the Clotho X Houtaro ship. With Clotho being a tsundere.

Lachesis X Spanner is a thing here too.

Gotchard cast react to that?

Oh I watched the 2nd ep too... I was rolling when I realized what was happening with Clotho and Houtaro 😂😂

At least Spanner/Lachesis became canon in two universes (here and Daybreak's timeline)

Honestly this whole thing would probably just cause everyone to stare in extreme confusion... it's just bonkers all the way

[asknarashikari]

Gotchard cast reacts?

Houtaro: What the- That isn't me!

Hopper-1: HOPPA???

Rinne: But... he looks like Ichinose?!

Renge: I didn't need to see Treasure Boy like this!

Sabimaru: *drops Isaac in shock*

Spanner: ...I feel like I walked into a BL <- no idea how accurate he is

Minato: I shouldn't be seeing my student like this

Kyoka: 😏😏

[asknarashikari]

Soooo assuming the other Riders are aware of everyone’s identity, only Shouma and Hanto are oblivious to each other’s identity.

How are they reacting to the love square known as Chocogummy?

Would they be frustrated as some of the people are of the other existing fictional love square?

At this point, they're more amused than frustrated since Shouma and Hanto have only just met. As time wears on without the reveal happening though they'll definitely get more and more frustrated lol

Also, betting ensues on how the reveal happens

[asknarashikari]

Oh what do you know, some people really do simp on Spanner as well.

Gotchard cast react?

also, Kair, do you agree?

I saw this on Reddit lmao... Even as a Gotchard fan and Geats disliker, I can't really understand wth OP is about with Spanner.

Unless they mean Kamen Warrior Valvarad and it's the Lachesis version, in which case... I'll allow it

[asknarashikari]

Junsei is just traveling through the BL-Toku pipeline...

He was in a BL before getting cast as Houtaro in Gotchard

and now he's back in a BL, but this time as a Lead XD

The pipeline goes two ways 😂

[asknarashikari]

Its Halloween… well closer to Halloween… and the Gotchard cast decided to dress up as Riders and “Rider-bound” some clothes (think of Disney bounding) So who will be dressed as which Rider?

Houtaro: J (He gets Hopper-1 to dress up as Berry)

Rinne: Femme

Renge: Fourze

Sabimaru: Build

Minato: Wizard (very reluctantly)

Spanner: the killjoy who doesn't get dressed up

Kyoka: not a Rider, but Tachibana Tobei

[asknarashikari]

How do Houtaro and Keiwa react upon them getting captured by the MOTW and their dates, Rinne and Neon, saving them like dudes in distress that they are

Houtaro: ...Man, are we lucky or what?

Keiwa: Yeah... just remind me not to piss them off

[asknarashikari]

so Siliconera just released an article.

apparently there is a Kamen Rider-themed mobile/gacha game in the works with Yuya Takahashi as the writer.

Some people thought this was an anime adaptation of a Kamen Rider series/an orginal anime kamen rider

But those aren't the important points.

Look at the headline.

"will depict Kamen Riders as handsome guys"

Pffft... just can't stop laughing.

With how many people simped over Aruto, Kento, Shoutaro, Tsukasa, Zeronos, Keiwa, Ace, Michinaga, and many more Kamen Riders... they were already handsome, nay hot, guys to begin with.

Just laughing at the headline lol

This is fucking hilarious when you realize for a number of years Kamen Rider actively cast guys who won the Junon Super Boy Contest (a male beauty contest) as Riders. There was a time when you could use that contest to predict who'd end up either as a protagonist rider or a sentai hero. I can't even tell you how many people were in that contest and ended up in a tokusatsu.

Heck the KR revival started off with the guy who literally is the eponym for "Odagiri effect"!!

[asknarashikari]

regarding that sougeiz au bl XD this is what came to my mind lol https://www.reddit.com/r/KamenRider/comments/1f3vkxo/why_did_geiz_say_that/ (I tried to find the twitter video... but alas couldn't find it...)

On the other hand, Geiz also said he wanted "to create a new future with [Sougo]".

Since the Decade crossover were post-Next Time, Geiz actually had his memories of the original Zi-O timeline back, which means he remembers saying that gay as fuck shit 😂

So yeah, I call bs on the homophobia, he's just gay and unwilling to share Sougo with another guy lol

[asknarashikari]

Gotchard cast react to, Juuru’s powers of manifesting things from his drawings through crystals that come out as tears.

Somehow the scene where someone asks Juuru “are you a chemy” popped into my head and I laughed lol

Cue all of them jumping on Kyoka to keep her from... examining Juuru thoroughly. And maybe Kaguya to keep him from kidnapping Juuru

[asknarashikari]

Kari, you mentioned they set up the redemption arc for Spanner in a previous ask… care to expand on that?

Well, let's see...

First off, Spanner has been shown to not have been a complete jerk. He never did anything to put innocents in danger and can put aside his personal feelings for Houtaro to work together with him to protect people (until recent events, anyway). He's also never deliberately harmed civilians, nor has he worked with the enemy out of a need to spite someone else.

It also helps that we've seen Spanner become less belligerent towards Houtaro and even Lachesis as the show went on, meaning that he's shown a capacity to change, no matter how slow it was. All they really need to do is craft a story in which Spanner's perspective shifts. We saw it in how Lachesis' attempts to be "more human" have softened his view of her, and even in how Houtaro's growth as an alchemist had finally have him convinced of his strength.

All they need to do is to craft a narrative in which Spanner's cynical perspective is shifted and he can embrace the idealism that's already in him (also something they previously established).

What's more, the Ichinose Kitchen Alliance (Houtaro and co) have an established record of actually helping redeem others. We see this when they didn't give up on Minato after he worked with Geryon in a misguided attempt to protect them. We see this when they accepted Lachesis and helped her find her humanity. We see this with Rinne's multiple attempts to reach out to Atropos.

It makes the gang being able to forgive and helping Spanner redeem himself more believable, because it's just consistent with what they've previously done. There is nothing to suggest that Spanner, of all people, is the one they're gonna give up on.

I'd say more, but even in my thoughts I'm just devolving to clown on Geats for NOT doing this convincingly lol.
