World Of Ryuki: Trial By Rider War


This is one area where I'm pretty mixed. Certainly, I still can't get over to WHHHHYYYY did Kamen Rider Ryuki end up having that stupid Reset Button ending that got rid of character development. Also, Shinji Kido is somewhat at the shadow of Shinji Tatsumi but there was something a bit interesting going on. I know Shinji Tatsumi is really quite wimpy in contrast to Shinji Tatsumi but there's an interesting arc in this episode.

Natsumi gets wrongfully accused of a crime she didn't commit. The A.R. World has Atashi Journal in place of ORE Journal in the actual continuity of Ryuki. The interesting plot is how Natsumi gets framed by mysterious circumstances. The Atashi Journal knows about the whole Rider War. Worse, the justice system of this Alternate Reality is determined by the Rider War. I'm just reminded of the mock trials held by Cobra-La (G.I. Joe) and the Quintessons (Transformers). So, everything is determined by the Rider War? What kind of justice is that? I don't blame Natsumi for feeling nervous about everything either. The whole justice system is a MOCKERY.

A new evil rider known as Kamata/Kamen Rider Abyss is the true "killer" of Momoi. Kamata is also revealed to be an Alternate Reality version of an Undead. It's also interesting at how Shinji Tatsumi also has a pal named Ren Haguro. Ren is suspected to be the murderer until it's all cleared. For me, I really can't take the A.R. versions of Ryuki and Knight. The original ones are SO MUCH BETTER if you ask me! At least Shinji Todo did an appearance in Kamen Rider Zi-O which is far more entertaining than this arc. Also, screw you Narutaki you aren't welcome either!

So what's next? It'd be the World of Blade which also really pales in comparison to the actual Kamen Rider Blade continuity.
