He goes by many names. Kureshima. Takatora. White Armored Rider. Magnificent Melon. Nissan. TakaTrolla. But he will always be known as Kamen Rider Zangetsu and later as Kamen Rider Zangetsu Shin.

And the journey of new episodes for Kamen Rider Gaim has come to an end. The finale aired yesterday afternoon for residents in the Western Hemisphere, as it was airing early Sunday morning in the Eastern Hemisphere. And now that subtitles for the episodes are available, we Kamen Rider Gaim fans will have to settle for waiting until the summer movie is released, encoded, subtitled, and subsequently released. We have some awesome S.H. Figuarts and Arms Change figures coming out to tide us over till then, so expect those in the near future!
Today we’re going to look at cherries and peaches as we dive in to the history of Kamen Rider Sigurd and Kamen Rider Marika (or Malika depending on the translation you want to go with). One started as a shady wanna-be drug dealer, the other as an overzealous assistant to Professor Ryouma, and both shared the same fate in the end (but you’ll have to keep reading for that!).
So go ahead and click “Read More” to get your energy cherry and energy peach on! And don’t forget our previous celebration articles – Day One – Movie Riders, Day Two – The Nut Bros., and Day Three – Kamen Rider Duke! Enjoy the celebration! As always … SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!

The second bit of today? It’s Day Three of our Kamen Rider Gaim celebration! And today we’re going to celebrate everyone’s favorite short-wearing long-haired professor – Sengoku Ryouma aka Kamen Rider Duke!

It is now day two of our celebration and we thought it would be fun to celebrate a group of Riders that, because of their Lock Seeds, have been dubbed in some circles as the Nut Bros.. They would be Kamen Rider Kurokage, Kamen Rider Gridon, and of course, Kamen Rider Knuckle. And while the “bros” part is more appropriately given to Kurokage and Gridon for their relationship at the start of the series, it also felt worthy to include Knuckle in the group as well.
Please click “Read More” to see our entire article on these three popular Riders! But of course be warned – there are major SPOILERS in doing so, as we look at their history throughout the show and in toy form. So join us as we look at our Nut Bros. – Kamen Rider Kurokage, Kamen Rider Gridon, and Kamen Rider Knuckle!

For the first official day of celebration we are taking a look at the movie riders of Kamen Rider Gaim! These are the Riders that appeared only in movies (and maybe showed up in an episode to tie in to the movies). Over the course of three movies there have been some exclusive riders (most notably the Kamen Rider Gaim Summer Movie). And while a majority of us wait for a release of the summer movie on DVD, the other two movies are available and we’ve experienced them.
Please click “Read More” to take a look at the movie riders – namely Bujin Gaim, Kamen Rider Fifteen, Kamen Rider Kurokage Shin, Kamen Rider Kamuro, and Kamen Rider Mars (with a brief extension to Kamen Rider Jam). Join us because for nine days the stage is ours! Henshin!
Note – if you haven’t seen these movies, there are spoilers in our “Read More” section! If you haven’t seen the movies, or read up on the movies, then you probably don’t want to click “Read More”. But you know you want to. It’s a celebration after all!
