KAMEN RIDER DEMONS FUCKS
But he also reveals the problems with some of Revice's design decisions
Tumblr media
Okay, so, cards on the table, Kamen Rider Revice has some of my favorite Kamen Rider designs. When they work, they are these slick, cool, iconic designs. It is a season that does legend rider designs the best, integrating the designs without being too overbearing (or just being the other riders). Jeanne is probably the best rider girl design, it's all so rad.
Kamen Rider Revice also has some of the worst Kamen Rider designs ever. Whether it be Live's highlighter yellow, or Over Demon's bullshit, some of these suits really suck. To be fair, I think the series is more hits than misses, but still.
That brings me to this thread's topic. Kamen Rider Demons. This is an ancillary rider introduced fairly early on into the series, and is a rider system that jumps around a lot, being basically Fenix's main rider system. However, the initial suit is primarily used by our boy Hiromi. And, to be honest, this design is rad as hell.
Tumblr media
The undersuit initially has this muscly texture, looking like tendons strewn about. This muscly texture is also on the belt, tying it into that design as well. From there, the red muscles are strategically covered by a mixture of blue and bluish silver armor. It plays on the classic Spider-Man color combo to great effect. It all works so well. However, the main Vistamp gives the spider web armor on the torso and head, which is intelligently set up in the neutral black, with the other colors being the same silver and red on the rest of the body. This webbing also has an asymmetry, giving an extra visual appeal to the suit, but has a simple, nearly smooth texture, helping to not leave the suit over detailed. Plus, the whole suit has a sharp, intimidating, militaristic feel, especially exemplified by the permanently angry front eyes, flanked by some extra spider eyes on the side, glowing in a clear blue through the webbing. It's so cool! You think it would be too busy, but it somehow all meshes so well together. I would love to see him in Spider-Verse.
From there, a bit of history is given to the suit design with... KAMEN RIDER VAIL
Tumblr media
This suit is militaristic, but in a different way. Covered in metallic armor, he wears a baggy undersuit. This both gives the suit a more aged feel (It's meant to be an older precursor to the modern rider systems) and gives the armor the freedom to be more complex. It integrates a darker silver than the main Demons and copper for the Kabuto parts. I do really enjoy this suit. However, it's important to note, because both of these suits are a part of the history of my least favorite suit in the (main) show.
OVER DEMONS
Tumblr media
Over Demons basically just slaps the two suits together to poor effect. The undersuit is unchanged from Demons, and the torso armor is nearly unchanged from Vail, and they do not mix. The Vail armor adds 2 new colors, a new silver and bronze, all of which fight for your attention. Plus, the detail goes overboard, the torso armor adding just a bit too much texture that was gone in the main demons suit. What doesn't help is that the helmet, newly designed for the suit, adds 2 NEW COLORS, a light blue and a bluish white. It is too much.
And this is the problem with many of Revice's slapped together suits (even some of the main suits if you dislike Thunder Gale). It slaps two aesthetics together that do not mesh at all. Another great example of this is Evil/Live. The undersuit is really detailed and has a lot of colors, but the smooth black torso armor balances it all out. Then live adds a shiny white and highlighter yellow for some reason.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They use reuse to either over detail the designs, have too many colors or both. That's not to say reuse is bad, it isn't. And I get it, Revice was strapped for budget. However it can be done well. Evility Live uses the Evil undersuit and mixes it with the Holy Live armor to great effect. Destream uses the century suit, which is in a neutral white with some red details, and gives it a cool blue touch.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It can be done, but Revice sometimes just doesn't. However, that doesn't mean that Kamen Rider Demon's suit was cool enough for me to spend too much money on an action figure of it.

Fun Fact:
Over Demons’ beetle armor (from Kamen Rider Vail’s suit) was originally supposed to be painted black, but was kept brown as they planned to also use the Vail suit again.
I threw together a quick edit of what it would look like had they gone through with it:

…and suddenly I hate Over Demons a bit less.
BONUS FACT: Over Demons’ name was the result of the writers having to name the form before fleshing out the story. Had they named it afterwards, it likely would’ve been called Demons Stag Genome.
Source for everything here, if you’re curious.

Kamen Rider Juuga Henshin. George became his own rider. Fun fact: this form resembles Kamen Rider Kuuga Ultimate Form.

I was wondering why suddenly weekend mom and dad were killed . There were no red flags or death flags as I like to say ( not that there has to be one always). But killing them in back to back episodes seemed a bit strange.
Was it for the development of Hikaru's character? If it is then it should have been done earlier. Because right now there is a lot going on in the show , there's no time to even think about Hikaru. There's no time to get attached to his character

Revice Theory
It’ll be George that takes out Vail. 
First off, the Vistamp for Over Demons is the Stag Beetle. The Vistamp for Vail is the Rhinocerous Beetle, and it’s common in Japanese media to put the two together. 
Second, it’ll be a way to fix one of Masumi’s mistakes, all sins of the father type thing. 
Third off, it could be a way to avenge Hiromi in a sense. He’s in no condition to fight, and everyone else will have to be focused on Akaishi and the Deadmans. Vail sucked out Hiromi’s life force and manipulated Olteca into doing his bidding. But George didn’t have to deal with any of that. I just think it’ll be fitting for Kamen Rider Demons to finally be free of Vail’s influence.
