Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
That, and Shiro Kazami/Rider V3, while surrounded by fire, using a Rider Punch on his own, horribly mutated sister to fulfill her wish to die rather than live in pain.
Kamen Rider (1971-1973)[]
The first fight Kamen Rider 1 has with Kumo Otoko and the Shocker foot soldiers. Really got to hand it to the stunt work there, especially for a first episode.
Episode 2's night fights against Komori Otoko and Shocker's combatants.
Episodes 6 and 7. Full stop
Episode 13, where Kamen Rider #1 beats up EVERY SINGLE Shocker's Inhumanoids that appeared thus far. There's a reason this episode was adapted into a movie.
While filming for episode 10, Fujioka Hiroshi got into a motorcycle accident — footage prior to the crash was used in the episode. (He apparently remembers up to the point where he took his leg, badly twisted out of position, and realigned it.) This put Rider #1 out of commission, while Rider #2 took over beating the crap out of Shocker. Several months later, Fujioka recovered and returned to the show — and thus the Double Riders were born.
Hayato's debut episode. All of it.
The awesome final showdown between Pirasaurus and Kamen Rider #2 in episode 17. Even to this day the fight choreography holds up pretty well, especially for it's time.
For the franchise as a whole, going a legitimate 1,000 episodes an counting. For a kid's show franchise to last that long, you know Kamen Rider as a whole is something special.
