It’s a good dynamic that contrasts the strengths and failures of the other riders without being painfully on the nose about it. It leads to a more proactive rider, but also a sloppier rider more prone to screw-ups, failure, and emotional outbursts. In contrast to Shinnosuke, Gou is someone who can’t switch off and won’t slow down. Gou, Kiriko’s sister and second rider Kamen Rider Mach, is just the shot in the arm that the show needed. This is pretty much my reaction whenever I read the comments section.
( Gaim was an exception) The villains initially seem rather stock and I had trouble getting into it, at least until the second rider shows up. The opening tends to fit to the rather familiar two-episode structure that has become a standard for most modern Kamen Rider shows. True to its themes, Drive takes a bit of time to get going. Cue villains, secondary riders, and lots and lots of toys. That’s when Shinnosuke meets Krim, a brilliant scientist who has transported his consciousness into a belt that Shinnosuke can use to become Kamen Rider Drive and to fight the mysterious Roidmudes who are responsible for the slowdowns of time that have been happening since the global freeze. After this event, a guilt-ridden Tomari loses his drive (oh, oh that’s clever) being pushed by his stern but lovely new partner Shijima Kiriko, who is trying to get Shinnosuke off of his ass and do some crimefighting. Kamen Rider Drive is about Detective Tomari Shinnosuke, a rising detective whose partner became injured during an event known as the global freeze where time seemed to slow while monsters began to attack. Just another evening for the oprainfall staff.
I wasn’t too crazy about hearing it myself since I just find motorcycles more aesthetically dynamic and suited to the dramatic motif of superheroes, but I don’t actually consider the motorcycle to be a core aspect of the themes of Kamen Rider. Regardless of the reasons for the choice, many fans took it about as well as you could expect fans to: like a vampire to garlic. Kamen Rider Drive was notable for causing a ruckus among fans for the fact that rather than using the traditional motorcycle that all other Kamen Riders have used, our new hero drives a car, perhaps under the impression that when fighting scientific monstrosities that spit in the eye of god that it’s wiser to have a few tons of metal for protection. While I’m not going to quite rank it in some pure list, I will give you my opinion on the show.

And that means another complete story, another rider to be added to crossover movies, and wondering whether we liked it better than this series of Kamen Rider or that one. The end of Kamen Rider Drive means another year’s worth of Kamen Rider has come and gone.
