<Eiji pulls up on a RideVendor he had outside Cous Coussier> "Ah! One of the Legendary Seven Riders!"

*A certain brown haired man walks into the place and takes a look around, looking at the other two riders Ah, hello there, my name is Brave, I am wondering if you've seen anything out of ordinary recently.

[Takeshi claps his hands at Eiji] Ah! Yes! I remember you, Os, was it? I see you brought your own Rider Machine too! ...Brave was it? Your face looks familiar... Oh! You're that disgrace!

Hm? Disgrace?!? Your surely mistaken, I would never disgrace myself, you must be talking about the intern, or the licenseless sham, I have never met you before. I am the greatest doctor in the world, I'm not some medical schmuck.

[Sento Kiryu arrives on the scene with his Machine Builder and hops off. He approaches the others after taking off his helmet.] Other riders? And wacky races hm? [He smiles wide as a tuft of hair sticks up in the back of his head.] I wouldn't mind getting in on this experiment!

*Walks into the track and jumps into a cardboard box*

(Are the Kamen Riders like the Power Rangers?)

(Triggeredbiki is coming for you)

(Uh oh (

(Oh no)

(How dare you)

(No really, are they?)

(I'm not gonna humor that with a response)

(Well, Hibiki's gonna kill me soon)

(Better death than you deserve.)

(Abort thread)

In 1971 Kamen Rider aired on Japanese TV, a show about a super hero who fought a terrorist organization. Kamen Rider is one of Japan's longest running franchises and a cultural icon. It falls under the genre of Tokusatsu, basically a genre of Japanese media that uses mostly practical effects, such as Godzilla, the most well known of the genre I would say. There are other Tokusatsu shows such as Super Sentai, Ultraman, Metal Heroes, Space Sheriff and so on. Following in Kamen Riders footsteps soon came Super Sentai. Seen as a little brother to Kamen Rider, Super Sentai usually focuses more on teams than individuals, and carries a more light hearted tone. Eventually, Saban got the rights to Super Sentai, and filmed a dumb American TV show, but used the costumes and props from Super Sentai, and used fight scenes from Super Sentai as stock footage. So no, you uncultured swine, Kamen Rider is technically in the same genre as Power Rangers, but to compare them is foolish. If you value your survival, next time it would do you well to not compare a legend to your bastardization of it's younger siblings.

Ohohoho! I recognize that Machine! [Hongo smiles while pointing at Sento as he walks up.] You're the newest Rider, correct? I have high expectations of you!

<Eiji looks around at all of the newcomers> "I don't recognize any of you! Then again, I only know a few other Riders..."

*A blue blur speeds past before returning at the mention of the word "race". The blur was none other than Sonic the Hedgehog himself, looking on the racetracks and some of the vehicles with interest.* Whoa, those are some snazzy looking rides you guys got there. Wonder how fast you can go on them. *He smirks.* Bet my extreme gear and car can go faster though.

A new rider?!? This will be interesting... what gashat do you use? I'll be interested to see how you deal with a bugster, they are quite difficult operations but there hasn't been a thing I can't cut.

*Pulls out a deagle and shoots Sonic in the hate for Nintendo characters* Fuck off. *Looks at Eiji* Hey.

I admit I wasn't expecting so many Riders to show up. Hmm, this race could be problematic if a ZECT Rider is here...

<Eiji is too distracted by Hongo's classic superiority to notice anything the rat does> "Are there any paved tracks around here? The RideVendor in its base form isn't meant for off-road driving!"

*Dodging the bullet with an annoyed look on his face, Sonic makes his way to Hongo and speaks to him.* Yo, you're the one in charge here right? When do these races start and what are the rules?

Hmm. Paved tracks? I don't think we have any... You could borrow a dirt bike for the time being if you would prefer. In the mean time I'll look into getting a paved track nearby. As for you strange creature, this is mostly fun and practice, right now. The actual race... I am unsure of, I am not hosting it, just heard about it. Sorry.

<Eiji looks down saddened at having to let his bike go, but he shoots up at the sight of the garage> "Do you have any spare wheels in there!?"

*Drives by in the Triforce Kart sponsored by Phillips CD-i and Pizza Hut* Beep beep

Oho! Almost forgot there was a garage here. Hehehe. There should definitely be some stuff in there you can use to change the tires.

*Pulls cardboard box into garage*

Really? Well that's too bad. Although, what better way to practice than a practice race? Think anyone would be interested?

<Eiji rides into a different part of the garage from the rat, and begins to work on swapping out his wheels>

My car runs on lamp oil I won't lose

*Does some tinkering on the cardboard box and pulls it back out*

Hm? Can't say I've ever seen someone try to drive a cardboard box...

I built my car on wood and mens tears
