Heyy! I was catching up on your NCT rising sign posts and firstly it was sooo cool to see how in-depth u and other go that’s my fav like if u wanna guess risings u can’t just go off of looks! U gotta think any house and planet placements lol the whole thing. I wanted to come here to share my thoughts on Chenle and Heachan specifically bc I recently put a lot of thought into it for some reason lol

For Chenle I know he’s a sag/Scorpio cusp but I rlly think he’s a sag and I was running the numbers and for him to be a sag he would have had to been born after 3pm! I used to be rlly confident he was a cap rising bc he has intense bone structure and eyes but not in a Scorpio way, more in a strict saturn way. But to be a sag puts him past a lot of potential rising signs so the only ones left that have him at sag sun were Aries to Libra. I played around w some of them and I feel like he could be a Gemini rising! It makes sense cuz he’s known for being sooo friendly, bright, curious, and playfully witty and snarky. Here’s the selling point tho, depending on the time it could put his Gemini Saturn in first! Which explains why he looks like a cap rising to me lol

I’m bringing Haechan into this too bc I know a lot of ppl think he could be a Gemini rising and tbh I’d still buy it but I wanted to propose another idea. I think he could def be an Aries rising! And that would put all the sign in their natural house which I think makes sense w his Leo moon in 5th and the Gemini in 3rd etc. and when I try to compare him and Chenle in regards to whose more of a Gemini rising, it makes haechan seem less like one. He does act b Gemini cuz I mean he has 3 Gemini placements lmao..,, but Aries rising are loud, opinionated, independent, but also has that bored or distracted easy Aries thing. Quick temper, very like what I see is what I want. they’re not a curious as Gemini and they can be outgoing but their focus isn’t rlly on like inquiring about people like Gemini?

Anyways that’s my theory lol I just wanted to bounce ideas off someone who gets it! I love theorizing

Hello! Ohh, I love theorizing as well, so this is the place for you haha x

So,I hope it's okay but I think with the recent info that Haechan allegedly confirmed his birth time (which I personally take with a grain of salt because I've read that he apparently talked about his birth time before and said it was around 12 pm so....we gotta take his word here but I think we all generally know one has to be critical with all casual mentioned birth times from celebrities, but guessing peoples rising sign is for fun so in the end it's not that serious and let's have our fun disecting the chart with the info we have now!!) I want to talk about Haechan's rising sign first!

So one thing that always stood out for me when it came to Haechan was that he seemed very sensitive to me. It's almost like it's kinda written on his face when he speaks (or doesn't) and I think by the way he acts (very animated and reactive) it just underlines this sensitivity and just emotional receptivness. So I wasn't really suprised to see that he has a Cancer Mercury. Being a Gemini sun already places a huge empathize on his Mercury sign, and Gemini with the influence of water really makes for some pretty reactive people, because they can be highly sensitive to the words, moods and hidden intentions of others. Makes one really moody as well, especially if it's a Gemini with water influence but that's just a random fun fact I wanted to add on asdfghkl. If we take his alleged birth time into consideration, he'd have not only a Scorpio rising, but also a Pluto in the 1st. I think the look of his eyes can be pretty droopey at times and yet very focused/piercing at the same time, kind of like he challenges you in that sense, and this is certainly a theme I noticed in a lot of Scorpio risings, especially if they have Pluto in the 1st as well (which a lot of second/third decade Scorpio risings have). Also, having his Chart ruler in the 1st and in the opposite of his Sun and Venus would explain why he is kind of 'on and off' in that sense with his energy and moods (when you watch him in interviews with 127 especially, behind the scenes, at vlives, etc), especially him asserting his presence in the room with a Sun opposite Pluto would make a lot of sense (btw, this is all written in a neutral perspective and no critique, this is just me explaining his behaviour with astrology here). Haechan also is extremely 'scheming', even when he just sits and doesn't talk in an interview he seems to think ahead and I think this os something that comes really naturally to him, just connecting the dots and adding his own twists and turns to a conversation and story. Also, his Mercury in the 8th adds to the sensitivity I got from him, and that with his Scorpio rising and Pluto in the 1st really add to his driness at times, just really flat with his responses and reactions (which come pretty quick and surprising as well). And let's not forget his Uranus and Neptune in the 3rd: very distinguished and unique voice, as well as having Uranus in the 3rd would contribute to his 'on and off' switch but generally very high energy he has, especially when having a conversation. Despite that having Sun and Mercury in the 7th in a conjunction makes one really sociable in the sense you could feel the need to communicate and interact with others (especially when the Sun in 7th is involved, outs great empathise on being with others, lack of social connections can result in strong lonliness at worst). Oh and not to forget he'd have a Virgo MC with a Scorpio Ascendant. For me at least, it only adds to the fact that Haechan is really a jack of all traits, Virgo MC people usually come across as pretty capable and are pretty self composed (also can come across as quiet judgy and they don't even notice it).

OKAY I WILL STOP NOW ITH HAECHAN WOWIE LET'S MOVE ON TO CHENLE okay so I think I've mentioned before that I think Chenle's face has strong Cancerian/Jupiterian vibes for me - his bone structure is phenomenal ofc, but I think his face seems kind of 'stretched' (same with Taeil) which is btw not (!) meant in any negative way because that doesn't exclude being pretty ofc. I know an anon before mentioned that they believe he is a Sagittarius rising but with him being a possible Sagittarius Sun that would explain the effect of his Cancer Jupiter! I think I once talked about him reminding me of young Leonardo DiCaprio so much that I just wished for him to be a Libra rising, but to be fair I think an Air Ascendant would make sense for his nature in general. Ex: to have a Libra rising he'd have to be born around 2am, which ofc would make him still a Scorpio but would put his Cancer Jupiter in the 10th house, also in a possible exact conjunction to his MC (and even if not it's still the closest planet to his MC). He'd have his Moon, Mars and Uranus both in the 5th house which would generally explain his extremely friendly nature (if we can believe Johnny's rising and I sadly kinda doubt it tbh because I can see him just trolling us with his birthtime I'm seeing the parallels here) and why it's so easy and probabl also important to him to conenct with others and be on good terms. Generally speaking I find him pretty jolly in nature and I think if he'd have his Jupiter in the 10th, possibly conjunct his MC and an Aqurius stellium in the 5th (+ possible Libra rising) that could be it. He'd have a Scorpio stellium in the 2nd house with his Sun in the 29th degree, and even if this is said to make people closed off, part of Scorpio in the 2nd house is a) maintaing close and intimate relationships is key for them, they really need that and b) they trive on being liked and admired. Not to say that he is fake in that sense (all people are to an extent but that's beside the point) but this can definitely add to a general charisma! But idk if Chenle is actually 'edgy' enough for this potential birth chart, probably not I believe

Another possible rising sign I thought for him was actually Taurus rising, putting his Sun, Mercury and Venus (exactly on the Descendant here if it would be in the 2nd decan) in the 7th house and his Aqaurius stellium in the 10th, Jupiter in the 3rd. With his Sun being already in Sagittarius I think it would add to a natural 'want to feel good' attitude and searching for pleasure and good times in every situation and Aquarius in the 10th can make for very sociable people, even if they feel more introverted in that sense they have an easier time making connections with others, or others feel drawn to their friendly and understanding nature. Also, his Jupiter in the 3rd would be in a trine woth his Venus in 7th (especially if it's on the Descnedant) which can grand him an easy hand with social groups and settings to begin with!

And I really like your idea behind the Gemini rising, depending on the decan, his MC could still be in Aquarius with his Aquarius Mars in the 9th conjunct his MC and his Uranus in the 10th conjunct his MC as well, and again, putting his Moon in the 10th. Idk but his Aquarius stellium being possibly in the 10th just really seems to resonate for me 🤠🤠 Also, having a Sagittarius Sun in the 6th would make him most likely someone who's easier to work with, because these people value having a good and rather lighthearded atmosphere around them. Very enjoyable and loyal as friends and extremely passionate in their work place/when they pursue something their heart is in.

With only a few days left before Heisei Generations FINAL (as if you couldn’t tell from the countdown), I figured I’d write something to kinda... share hopes, fears and thoughts on the material so far? This is a new approach I’m taking just to try something new. 

I’ll add a cut here since there’s spoilers for OOO, Fourze, Gaim, Ghost and Ex-Aid involved.

To many, crossover movies are pretty skippable, and I can’t blame ‘em. But around Gaim’s run, they seemed to be doing something different. Sure, there’s still things that happen that are VERY easy to nitpick or even rant about, but I feel like the balance of “How much fun is this” VS “How much of a trainwreck is this” has shifted in the former direction.

Particularly with the last winter movie, Heisei Generations, where they decided to do a big ol’ reunion spring movie but in winter. Which is exactly what we’re getting here. albeit with more faces we haven’t seen in a long time.

Because of those returning faces, there’s a lot I wanna say about what I’m hoping for and dreading. But I should talk about the plot first, shouldn’t I? Let’s do that... by talking about Ex-Aid first!

The plot seems to involve new Bugsters, and a mad scientist, so that’s... the best of both worlds for Ex-Aid and Build, I suppose. To be honest though, especially after the last movie already did it, I’m mixed on the idea of a mad scientist villain. Kinda dig the metal mask he’s got.

Really there’s not much to be said about Ex-Aid’s return. Ex-Aid kinda ended in a convenient “We can continue this story, sure” kind of way. The game is forever, after all! Bit of a shame Snipe is still Level 50.

Please don’t let this be another story where Ghost dies. Just-- Just wanted to get that out of the way up front. At this point it’s probably safe to talk spoilers on the last movie and say that I found it VERY eye-rollingly obligatory for them to work in another death for him in Heisei Generations, and with him being another year older I hope they realize they don’t need to give him that much attention.

Apart from that, I dunno. Onari makes an appearance and he's the only one from Ghost I need to see again, especially since we're gonna see him interacting with Kuroto. A man of religion meets a self-proclaimed god - that's either gonna end horribly or hilariously.

GAIM. So anyone who’s followed me since Gaim was happening will probably know this is my favorite Rider series ever. Favorite show of 2013. Favorite superhero? Sure.

Gaim ended on a pretty crazy note that I guess I can talk about here since we’re in spoiler territory.

Ever since he went off to a faraway planet to become a fruit god, there's always been this question of "How do you bring him back without him being too powerful?" - I talked about this in his suit-only cameo in Heisei Generations (where they COULDN'T get the actor and just reused existing dialogue), but... there's a simple explanation for that. "Hey guys, I'm projecting myself from very far away, so I've only got a fraction of my power here." Would have also explained why he never appeared out of suit before.

Since they didn't do that in that movie, and we are just straight up getting Gaim in the flesh, I suspect that it's gonna be more nonchalantly "Yeah I'm pretty powerful, but the person we're fighting is much worse". Which I wouldn't be into. Kamen Rider in particular is bad about doing the Dragon Ball power level scale but in a more nonsensical way. I’d make an analogy with Dragon Ball but I suspect Super will have already done that for me. 

The blissful way we see him look in the trailer kinda makes me hope there's a crazy new development for Gaim, like maybe he - and presumably Mai - retired his power to become human again because he missed Earth. And it just so happens he needs to fight again.

At this point I don't expect any returning actors beyond him, since we would've heard something by now. But I do hope at least Mai gets some mention since she is probably the most important (still living) person from Gaim aside from him.

Regardless of what happens, it’s safe to say I’m happy to see Sano Gaku return. His absence was pretty sad, but you know how returning actors go - once the winter movie’s over, you’re lucky if you see them again. It’s been said that Kamen Rider makes people into stars that are too big for Kamen Rider, so I hope everyone who never shows up again is doing it for good reason.

Fourze's is close to Gaim in terms of top favorites, if only because of its charm and... if you read into the production reasons for why Fourze came into existence, I'm proud of Toei for thinking of the kids. Aesir did a translation of that farewell Toei blog post. You can find it. You're a smart bunch.

Fourze kinda had a pretty interesting post-finale. Essentially, this high school student grew to be a teacher himself, and Toei's blog highlighted the fact that this time skip took place basically in 2017 - that makes me curious how Fourze's role here plays out. Will it be taking place directly after the crossover he had with Wizard which involved time travel to give him back his belt? Will they actually just ignore that convenient time skip and say it's been even longer since he became a teacher? I hope it's the former. Make use of that movie's footage to do some crazy "And then this happened right after" twist.

Regardless, I betcha Fourze gets his belt because Ohsugi or JK shows up like "yo Kengo made this, have at it", which would be a nice way to work in more characters we can't seen on screen~ Since my two favs from the Kamen Rider Club ARE appearing, I hope they get a decent amount of screen time. Dude, if we get Ohsugi in the same room as Onari and Kuroto, what a dream that will be.

Fun fact, because a friend of mine got into Kamen Rider through Fourze, his first movie was the OOO/Fourze movie where they focus on Ankh's death throughout. I probably should have prefaced that there'd be spoilers for another show, but he ended up liking OOO regardless so it's okay.

In all seriousness, we know what Eiji's been up to, still vagabond-ing about, but Ankh is the real talking point since he died before, and the crossover movie he was last seen in had a clever way to bring him back then have him still be dead afterwards.

Toei's blog raises the question of how he's back now, and... I'm sure it's got something to do with those Core Medals the conspicuous man in white has - I’d be a lil disappointed if that’s all it is. But hey, maybe after all these years of doing random jobs, Eiji finally afforded some superglue.

Y'know what? Let's end on this guy. He's the red Kaiser, and I'm not sure what his deal is. But I do know he's shown in a room with the Core Medals (all the ones related to the revived Greeed) and Zodiarts Switches (all the ones related to the revived Horoscopes), so I suspect he's a big deal.

I betcha what's gonna happen is this: The movie starts off being this plot about the mad scientist who's got these new Bugsters, making it a Build/Ex-Aid crossover, with occasional glimpses of OOO and Fourze (with Ghost and Gaim thrown into the chaos) dealing with their respective returning monsters. Once they all follow the trail to the right place, the man in white turns out to be the REAL villain we should be concerned about, ends up somehow taking mad scientist's power to become that fused Kaiser design, and everyone transforms into their final forms to fight him.

Also worth mentioning that due to this guy's white outfit, and the fact that he's got these Medals and Switches for no apparent reason... maybe he's a Foundation X guy? Which I'd LOVE honestly. Ex-Aid had a spinoff that ended with the twist that Foundation X was still around and they didn't need Kamen Rider W to be in the fiction to make it happen, so bring it on! Make Foundation X the Shocker we all want them to be! Let my fanfiction become reality!

And that's all I have to say about the movie. It's premiering in a few days and I guess I'll keep an eye out for what people thought of it once it premieres, but no promises. You'll get a proper review when it comes out on DVD and gets subbed many months from now.
