Favorite Kamen Rider
My favorite seasons of Kamen Rider, ranked from most favorite to least favorite. (No reboots or standalone movies.)
* Total Finished: 21/34
-
1. Kamen Rider Wizard
Japanese Drama - 2012, 53 episodes
My comfort food.
But also a very good show that speaks to me on a personal level.
-
2. Kamen Rider OOO
Japanese Drama - 2010, 48 episodes
A very close #2, edged out only by Wizard being my first, having a better suit, and its story hitting me more on a personal level.
-
3. Kamen Rider Ex-Aid
Japanese Drama - 2016, 45 episodes
Peak Kamen Rider suit design, second to only Wizard.
These are facts. Don't @ me.
-
4. Kamen Rider Den-O
Japanese Drama - 2007, 49 episodes
Only people who hate fun don't have Den-O in their top 10.
-
5. Kamen Rider Kabuto
Japanese Drama - 2006, 49 episodes
The SEA English dub is peak English dub.
These are facts. Don't @ me.
-
6. Kamen Rider Zero-One
Japanese Drama - 2019, 45 episodes
-
7. Kamen Rider Kuuga
Japanese Drama - 2000, 49 episodes
-
8. Kamen Rider Revice
Japanese Drama - 2021, 50 episodes
Underrated af.
Yes, Vice's VA is terrible and racist. Yes, I want to punch Vice in the face whenever he's on screen. But the family is so great and I love them so much.
Also, it has Lovekov, so your argument is invalid.
-
9. Kamen Rider Zi-O
Japanese Drama - 2018, 49 episodes
-
10. Kamen Rider Gaim
Japanese Drama - 2013, 47 episodes
-
11. Kamen Rider Ryuki
Japanese Drama - 2002, 50 episodes
-
12. Kamen Rider Fourze
Japanese Drama - 2011, 48 episodes
Fourze just feels very "safe."
It doesn't help that it's squished in between my favorite two Riders, OOO & Wizard. Which is both a blessing and a curse because I get to see both of them when watching Fourze, but also it just leaves me less interested in Fourze himself.
Again, it's not bad. It doesn't "fall off." It's just kind of a chill ride.
-
13. Kamen Rider Build
Japanese Drama - 2017, 49 episodes
Overrated af. The epitome of "fell off hard."
It did not invent BL. Kuuga will not stand for your slander.
Also, every time you bring it up, I'm reminded that [redacted] got to be a Rider over Misora and I want to punt this show to the moon and beyond.
-
14. Kamen Rider Amazon
Japanese Drama - 1974, 24 episodes
Amazon is my tomodachi and if you say anything bad about him we cannot be tomodachi.
-
15. Kamen Rider Gotchard
Japanese Drama - 2023, 50 episodes
-
16. Kamen Rider Hibiki
Japanese Drama - 2005, 48 episodes
The second half gets too much of a bad rep. Yes, there is a particular episode that aggravates the crap outta me, but overall it's fine.
Also, the ending was a perfect ending for Hibiki. Anyone that says otherwise clearly does not understand what Hibiki was trying to be.
-
17. Kamen Rider 555
Japanese Drama - 2003, 50 episodes
555 tries to give me an existential crisis.
-
18. Kamen Rider Saber
Japanese Drama - 2020, 48 episodes
Rintarou is my son. If you do anything to hurt my son, I'm coming for you. And that includes you, Yuuri, trying to replace him on the squad.
Also, we stan [redacted]!Calibur in this house.
-
19. Kamen Rider Ghost
Japanese Drama - 2015, 50 episodes
Why are Spector and his nothing sister here?
Also, the Spector movie is one of the most garbage things I have ever seen. From both a writing AND a directing standpoint.
-
20. Kamen Rider Drive
Japanese Drama - 2014, 48 episodes
-
21. Kamen Rider Geats
Japanese Drama - 2022, 49 episodes
This season is like if "mid" had a physical form.
Also, Neon is the worst written lead female from any Kamen Rider on this list and to anyone that says otherwise, why do you hate women?
