All right I'm waiting on a download so now I'm gonna watch what I am rapidly realizing is the Christmas episode of original kamen rider
dragon time
Starting Hayato Ichimonji Similar first and last letter to Hongo
dragon time
No idea what he's gonna be like
dragon time
Oh shit the wolfman isn't with shocker
dragon time
I mean he is but he also likes killing shocker goons
dragon time
Just likes killin
連続犬
Do you know the behind-the-scenes story of Hayato Ichimonji
連続犬
I think you do but I wanna be sure you understand how crazy this whole thing is
dragon time
We can't let Kamen Rider learn about Project Wolf, where we use the Wolf Virus to make wolfmen
dragon time
I think I heard it ages ago but I was more interested in the half of the podcast that was about cyborg 009 at the time
dragon time
Cat no don't walk over the video

A side effect of hanging out with Jami for so many years is that watching you getting into Kamen Rider has been like "heh heh Holly is watching one of my canons — wait"
連続犬
that's entirely fair
連続犬
anyway the story is that fujioka broke both his legs doing his own motorcycle stunts so the like four episodes before hayato show up are like spliced and recycled footage while they hastily re-cast their leading man
𝖒𝖆𝖒𝖆 𝖜𝖎𝖙𝖈𝖍
If you have not heard them go on about the cultural significance of Kamen Rider you should have them do that, it is very nice to hear about actually and has made me very fond of the bugmen by osmosis
dragon time
Oh, they're recut that's kind of wild. Because it can't be just a week to get a new leading man.
連続犬
yeah those like, five episodes where hongo was like, yknow
連続犬
mysteriously absent
連続犬
and he just showed up as Kamen Rider
連続犬
that's all reused/re-cut footage
連続犬
because fujioka was in the hospital
連続犬
lol
dragon time
Hayato like "Wolf Men? I live in this city. There's a Wolf Man and he is real and he definitely stole her doll."
dragon time
That's kind of neat, you'd have to write the thriller bits with a focus on secondary cast members
連続犬
i love hayato he's such a fuckin weirdo
連続犬
like he's heroic but he's also a little goofy
連続犬
YEAH that's why a lot of that stretch was like
連続犬
the Taki and Tachibana Show
dragon time
I keep going on about the time Lucy Lawless broke her pelvis falling off a horse and how season two is kind of the absolute wildest episode plots because they have to write around that but it's true
Quinn Angstrom
I like the bit I think in that episode where he's like
Quinn Angstrom
"A wolf man? Ha ha ha! You children and your stories"
Quinn Angstrom
Turns 90 degrees "So there's a wolf man and he's EXTREMELY real and we have to kill it"
dragon time
(I like Hayato's reassuring pleasant grin. Kamen rider is friend to the children)
dragon time
So this is an overnight children's school
dragon time
They don't wanna have the actor hauling around a real child so she's wrapped up in blankets I guess
dragon time
Oh wait it's because it's a different child
dragon time
Who they still used as bait?! Goros a little champ huh
dragon time
Oh he can he shin by jumping
dragon time
I feel like they've got things more figured out at this point
連続犬
he can henshin by jumping because they are now worried about their other actor breaking both his legs by doing motorcycle stunts
連続犬
lmfao
dragon time
To clarify I did skip 30+ episodes because I wanted to watch Monster Wolf Man's Huge Murder Party
dragon time
So far he has barely had a quiet Murder tea
連続犬
yeah the middle stretch is a little more codified, like
連続犬
...god are you in the stretch with lieutenants? no i don't think you are but damn
dragon time
That's quite fair they can only break so many legs
連続犬
YEAH
dragon time
There's a guy with a hat and an eyepatch and a riding crop
dragon time
I love the goon shrieks
連続犬
OH
連続犬
yes that's him
dragon time
I also see that the actor doing all the helicopter stunts has a helmet on
dragon time
So he could be a stuntman
dragon time
There we go we get a face shot when he's inside the helicopter, where they could ve filming on the ground
dragon time
The briefcase contains an invitation to a costume party?!? That rules
dragon time
Oh the costumes are all the same
dragon time
Humanity's last Christmas, before OPERATION WOLF
dragon time
There we go now that's a murder party. Because you've set bombs in the warehouse
dragon time
Colonel Zol, turning into a Wolf Man: Only a Wolf Man could execute Operation:Wolf!!
dragon time
I like how the suits get kinda scuffed up when they roll around in the quarry
dragon time

: I am watching the early stuff and going oh yeah I can see how kids in the 70s went absolutely nuts for this and how it colors a lot of the modern stuff made by people who grew up watching it
dragon time
Your stepfandom is bringing me joy
dragon time
Yesss Kamen Rider shows up at the orphanage with a big sack of presents for the children
dragon time
Oh, Hongo comes back next episode! And there's Dr Shinigami who I know of from the ooo parody of the original series
dragon time
Shout also has Ryuki, interesting
連続犬
yeah this is about when hongo comes back
連続犬
at least for a little bit
連続犬
dr. shinigami, with a PhD in Acula
