Kamen Rider W has a lot of homages from past Kamen Rider shows, heck I even compiled some of those homages back then! With the upcoming Kamen Rider W film, I finally notice the Kamen Rider BLACK homage in W's design thanks to Kamen Rider Joker. Here's a checklist of W's BLACK homage.
+ Shoulder pads. Check.
+ Arm and leg bands. Check.
+ A robust top armor. Check.
+ Trunks. Check.
+ No scarf. Check.
+ Plus according to latest movie info, KR Joker's Maximum Drive involves executing a Rider Punch and a Rider Kick... Check.
And for the man behind the mask.
+ Their names end in a -taro. Check.
+ Their friend in which they treat like a brother was kidnapped but some organization, brainwashed and he must face him for him to save the world. Still pending.
Now, guys what do you think?
