Kamen Rider Agito Ep 4 Recap – There’s No Such Thing as Magic!

Welcome back to my ongoing recap series for the second Heisei era Kamen Rider show, Kamen Rider Agito!

Last week Agito had already run into a pair of monsters that were able to withstand the power of his Rider Kick. How is he ever going to be able to win the fight against them?

Oh, he just throws them through a tree. And where glowing exploding jump kicks failed to even scratch the Turtle Kaijin, being tossed through a tree seems to have severely injured the pair as they opt to burrow away rather than face off against Agito further. And for those of you who forgot from last week, yes these are burrowing Turtle Unknown. Yes some Turtles do burrow. No that does not make them any less ridiculous.

Shouichi cancels his Henshin only to see Mana nearby having seen the entirety of the fight, and when he tries to call out to her she understandably flees rather than deal with the situation, leaving both of them looking worried and confused as we jump to the credits!

Kamen Rider Agito Ep 2 Recap – Blinded By the Light

Welcome back to my new ongoing recap series focusing on the second Kamen Rider Heisei series, Kamen Rider Agito! But before we go on I want to note I’m going to be starting up a midweek recap series and I’m hoping for at least some of you readers to help me pick which one I do, I’ve got a post about it here.

This week starts off with… a condensed version of the Rider Kick from the end of last week but this time without the awesome song “Believe Yourself” playing, which makes it infinitely lamer by comparison. This is true of all things that happen compared to the version of them that happens while “Believe Yourself” is playing.

The only new thing that happens is that G3 stands up, wonders who this strange new Rider is, and then immediately falls over like it’s some sort of goofy slapstick routine.

I am starting to wonder if G3 is maybe not really cut out for the Super Hero business guys. I’m seeing a lot more ‘bumbling sidekick’ in his future. But for now we’re off for the first time to the credits!

Kamen Rider Agito Ep 1 Recap – Man Eating Trees

Welcome back all my loyal readers and to my new readers welcome to my new series of recaps for Kamen Rider Agito! It’s been a year to the day since I started this blog and even I’m a bit amazed I was able to stick with it this long. But who wants to hear about me when we can jump into some Kamen Rider goodness?

Before the episode starts there’s a card to inform us that it is the 30th Anniversary show for Kamen Rider (so I’m not the only one celebrating an Anniversary) and then we’re straight into the eye of a storm. Lightning crashes and winds rage for a few seconds before we catch up with the aftermath of the storm as a family of junk scavengers starts picking through the remnants of the storms destruction left behind on a beach. That is until the youngest of the family stumbles on something seemingly out of this world.

He turns one of the dials on the cross before his grandfather runs up and tears him away from it, admonishing him not to touch the thing when suddenly all the dials start spinning. They’re left to wonder what the heck is going on and we finally get the title card shown at the top of the page. No opening yet though, that’ll have to wait for the next episode!
