It’s a shocking and sad scene, especially the climax, but it’s still a scene I love.

In other words, I think the ending gave the work a somewhat cohesive impression, but the second part has a rather aimless development and feels more like a less successful work among Ishinomori’s pieces.

I feel a dryness that suggests it’s obvious that the one who shoots projectiles the most is the strongest, even though it’s the manga version of Kamen Rider.

The shock of killing my brothers, who had fought alongside me until then, without hesitation is too great.

I can’t believe that a television special effects series created by an original author who only draws such dark and gloomy heroes has continued for several decades.

What they did first after becoming human with Gemini and Yesa was to lie and harm their brothers, which is quite something.

Because humans have an evil heart within their conscience, Kikaider, who became human, can lie and even kill his siblings.
Is it tough in various ways?

Speaking of which, I’ve never seen the original version of Goranger…

Since I’ve become human, well… you know.

Kamen Rider also normally dies like Hongo-kun, or rather becomes brain matter, and it’s kind of amazing.

I had the blueprints for Gemini hidden in my guitar, and since the guitar burned, the blueprints burned too. How awful!

In the manga of the first generation Rider, the scene where Cobra Man dies is really good.

If we’re talking about manga, I also like Arashi.
Both the father who gazes into the abyss and is consumed, and the one who was actually an alien.

It’s like being roughly saved by Inazuman, right?

I was astonished that Gorenger suddenly turned into a play thing instead of having a proper conclusion.

Inazuman was surprised because crossovers rarely happen.
I liked the feeling of having Jiro’s face become a clear part, as if it had reached its final form.

Reading it all at once gives a strong feeling that it suddenly ended after a rapid development.

I like lines that imply it’s not simply about powering up through evil intentions, but rather that the heart which says I mustn’t be defeated by such things is what has made me strong.

Since I came out, it has given the impression of being a very random development.

It seems that they really liked Robocon, using the setting of RRKK (Robot Rental Company) from Robocon and Robot Cop.

The Hakai-Da four are being imported back, you know.

Ishinomori was the best of his time when it came to creating cool performances and cool scenes.
Many of the stories just dragged on without much happening…

There are circumstances with the television, so it can’t be helped.
That aside, I got bored quite quickly and moved on to the next thing…

In the manga version, it’s like that, but the Hakaider from the live-action and anime versions is really cool…
Gilhakaider? Yeah… well…

It’s said that it’s ugly in red and blue because the function is incomplete, but it’s also creepy when it’s just blue…

It doesn’t seem like having clear parts, like Zero and Ichiro, is particularly a failure or anything.

Ishinomori Black is quite dark, indeed.

If you only use the blue part, it will end up looking like an unadorned Inazuman.

It’s amazing that 009 went on for so long.

I think the manga’s Golgom is quite similar to Black Ghost.

I laughed when they mentioned on TV that Ishinomori’s works, particularly 009, became increasingly abstract and hard to understand in the latter half… but they phrased it in a way that sugar-coated the confusion.

The opening of the anime Skullman was cool because it turned into a summary of the manga.

It has been adapted into an anime, but the story has changed quite a bit, and Gilgamesh is hardly mentioned at all.

The Gorenger was intended to be a serious spy drama, but it became a variety show on television much earlier than expected, which left them exasperated.
It feels like there was some kind of fuss about the local crazy old lady and the kids engaging in a mock war, and the title was also turned into something like “Gorenjā Play.”

“Where do you want to fall, 009? There’s a place where the masterpiece points are skyrocketing.”

The black is drawn in a way that maintains the live feel, but it feels like… hmmm.
The ending is just too brilliant, it’s a problem.

Both “Transforming Ninja Arashi” and “Shin” are abrupt, and I can’t help but feel confused, especially since it feels like this is the end.

I think the portrayal of performance differences in reply hero types is dry.
The suddenly appearing new model is strangely strong, and it is portrayed quite calmly.

The mass killing scenario in the OVA version has a heavy impact that lands with a thud, but on the other hand,
I want to see you guys, Jiro and the others, being unhappy!
“I want to see you trample on the days that were a little happy, brought to a point of no return!”
It’s so over-the-top with the tragic presentation that it makes me feel like it’s gone too far.
They pitifully killed the bizinder like a mother robot.

009 released Joe’s descendants quite early on and even had them die in battle, which feels pretty harsh in various ways.

I became human! That’s great!

Short story collections like “Sub” and “City” are definitely more interesting than long novels.
Mr. Ishinomori

If you’re interested in the Kikaider anime, I definitely want you to check out 01 RE:EDITION.
It’s much better since the original was crap.
The background music is subtle, but…

The novel version of Kikaider is also good.
I like Hakaider who fights fairly and squarely after removing the brain of Komyouji.

The name of the conscience circuit is Gemini, and it’s thrilling.

The mass-produced Hakai-da from the anime was actually an early design from the manga.

MEIMU’s Kikaider 02 is… a work that didn’t evoke any feelings of sadness for me, but maybe that’s just me.

I just realized it after rereading the book now.
The belt in this scene is centered around blue and red.
It’s a ironic proof that you have become human.

I also like the next page.

009 had quite a few things they wanted to do…

I made Double O because I was lonely, Jiro…

009 did various things after the Black Ghost arc, but I have a memory that the story ended without moving forward.

In old manga, the enemy is usually a god!
It becomes spiritual.

It’s amazing that they are already killing without even showing scenes of arming weapons or firing.

Pinocchio became a human, happily ever after.
…Is it really a happy occasion? Is Pinocchio happy?
Kikaider disappears alone into the darkness of the night.

The impact is low, but I prefer this ending scene.

Why did you kill this?
Was it because your brother was being controlled by the enemy?

Did Jiro not manage to work hard on breaking the brainwashing?

The storm stops even taking on forms partway through, becoming just a historical fantasy drama…
I mean, it seems like I just wanted to draw a historical fantasy period drama and didn’t really want to draw a transformation hero.

Captured by the enemy and abducted to the heart of their territory.
All the companions have been rewritten.
I have… completely balanced the installed circuits of evil and conscience, allowing me to lie.
Just like a human.

Is the fate of Remake 009 the same?

Incredibly messy destruction of shadows.

But you like this somewhat dirty Ishinomori-sensei, right?

I think the ending of Ishinomori’s manga is more like a dirty or reckless mess.

In the manga Inazuman, it’s a bit disappointing that the heroine who replaces her halfway through isn’t cute.

Ishinomori’s works basically have a throwaway ending.
A work with a beautiful throwing technique is a good Ishinomori work.

I feel that there are quite a few bad endings in manga from the around the 1970s.

When Hiro had an accident and became the second rider, the special effects version maintained a stance of being a substitute, but the manga version easily let Hongo die, you know, Sensei…

Inazuman itself is different from both the new humanity and the old humanity, right? Let’s make a world just for the new humanity – whether it’s Banba or the Boy Alliance, the difference is just in how hasty their methods are.
Thinking that being a superior android is happier than becoming like old humanity.

Playing Go-Rangers is too erotic!

Did Pinocchio really become happy as a human…?

The introduction of Pinocchio is picked up properly at the end, so it looks very well put together.

But when I read it for the first time, I was shocked by how strong Skarl was.
When I read it again, I get a little confused by things like spiders, houses, and fat people, wondering what this is all about.

Since I’ve only read old paperback books, can “Debu” (0013) be published now?

The sense of having a conscience circuit in Gemini and a submission circuit in Yesa is just too amazing, Mr. Ishinomori.

It’s nice to be able to use the destruction ray that you hesitated to use without any hesitation.
Not good.

0013 has an amazing story…

A comic version where Gemini 00 runs wild but ultimately returns to focus on protagonist 01.

If the Yeser is transplanted, it will become too dangerous for a human that can instantly defeat 00, which should not be beaten in combat ability…
