The reveal of Neons origins legitimately broke me. I couldn’t believe they did this.
"Geats started off good but ended up Dogshit like Decade and OOO After Tsukasa and Eiji's Death...Maybe I'm wrong but that's how it felt at the time I Fucking Hate Yuya Takahashi + Would Be Even More Of My Bestie if They Would Admit That Geats Sucks and We Should Destroy Ace , Keiwa , Suel , Jiito , Samas and Black Tsumuri !!!!!!!!!!
Michinaga , Kousei , Kyuun and Zinn were the only good characters in Geats similar to Kiba , Kaido , Keitaro and Hanagata.
@@saiyaujeff8171dude shush
That and Beroba also made her relive all of that after forgetting it. This show honestly did a lot of great story work with captivating the main characters suffering
Broke Ace too if I remember right. He went berserk on Beroba!
Yes, me too. How come Ace who is also a product of a wish with him being born, and he reincarnates and he is a DGP participant forever but why the existence of Neon is magnified to the extremes of misery? It's also how it was presented by Beroba..like Damn that was sick. So the rider kick of Nago with the Fantasy Buckle and Buffa's return of the Jyamashin form to finish off Beroba were satisfying!
43:54 Marcus yelling “TIMEFIRE”😂I cant stop laughing
_What I liked about Geats:_
-4 Main Riders and their respective story arcs
-concept of Suits and Raise Buckles
-DGP/DR
_My issues with Geats:_
-While Jyamatos were interesting, they never completed the Chess motif. (What is this, SOL Tech again?)
-Kyuun, compared to other supporters, has very little to be desired.
-Final Boss did felt rushed
*FINAL VERDICT:* I'm liking this season when compared to something like Ryuki.
If I were to rank Kamen Rider written by Yuya Takahashi:
1. Ex-Aid
2. Geats
3. Zero-One
the biggest issue the season has is that they left so much potential yet they do not deliver and add to much that ether contradict the establish rules and not matter at all
That's how I'd rank Yuya's Rider shows that he's written as well tbh 👍
@@denysvision Who ever was game master or Suel, during each arc determines the rules of the DGP/JGP/DR
Between this and rewatching Ex-Aid Yuya Takahasi has solidified himself as one of my favorite toku writers
I just hope Takuro Fukuda doesn't write Kamen Rider again for he had his second chance with Saber.
@@thatman666 Yuya Takahashi's Writing
Before Ex-aid = Good
After Ex-aid = God Awful
I’m generally alright with Ex-aid but Zero-One and Geats’s obnoxious communication problems are a major deal breaker
Never Trust Someone Who Thinks Agito and Saber is Better Written Than Faiz and Geats + Agito is Inoue's masterpiece and Not Faiz + Saber is Reiwa's masterpiece and Not Geats.
@@thatman666 Ghost is Fantastic & is My 2nd Most Favourite Rider Series Just Below Saber for sure!! 🔥😤I Think Inoue’s Honestly a Better Sentai Writer than He is a KR one + What He Did To Hibiki is Just Unforgivable + Inoue is Only Great For (Jetman , Donbrothers , Agito and Kiva) + His Dissapointing Works Were (Faiz , Hibiki 2nd half , Rider Time Ryuki and Decade vs Zi-o). The Faiz Novel Where Kusaka Rapes Mari Was Dogshit + Inoue Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Write Anything For Rider Ever Again just like Takahashi.
@@saiyaujeff8171ghost and saber suck what are you on?
@@NightwingTVignore the fella
I'm with Jacob. This unseated all my other favourite shows to claim top spot. Love the script, love the plot, love the characters. Trust Last is a banger. The ending was beautiful. I love this show. #acewithus
Archimedel is the gardener. Akari means Lights and neon is Artificial Light..so when Nago's parents made the wish..there the artificial child in Neon ws born for the progress of the Kurama Conglomrate! It's in my top 5 toku and Rider too! Great review Guys!
Slight correction: Archimedel is the INITIAL Gardener. There was also that bit where he got eaten by a Jyamato, and that one where Daichi became Gardener and fueled a horrific storyline. Still not fully forgiven him for that, but I SUPPOSE I can trust him in a pinch.
I really like how KamenRider Geats looks like a futuristic, kabuki astronaut.
“North East West and GUN”
That’s another one for the shirt, thank you Marcus^^
It was from a previous episode of Tokucast years ago. I forget which.
I’m so happy Geats was not only good but it was fantastic. I have felt a bit of Toku burnout since about 2020 and this show has been a nice one to come back to!
Geats is in my top 5 kamen rider series of all time. The animal motif, especially Geats is a fox, which has never happened before; the battle royale theme is a not new but great concept; the suit design is amazing, most of the suits in Geats are one of the best in this franchise; i really like the mis and match concept, we haven't had that in a very long time, and this show does this very good with the revolve on function; banger music; the story is very good: the plot twist and the shifting in story make the show so interesting to watch; best action and choreography in the whole franchise. What can i say, Geats is the best of Reiwa so far.
eh i cannot say is the best since the show has it issues and it ended in a such a bad way that i cannot say is the best
@denysvision583 So you think there is a Reiwa season is better? Which one, why?
Gya-go's fight got to me. No kids yet, but really hoping for a daughter. Needless to say, dad button got pushed and it stuck
"Geats started off good but ended up Dogshit like Decade and OOO After Tsukasa and Eiji's Death...Maybe I'm wrong but that's how it felt at the time I Fucking Hate Yuya Takahashi + Would Be Even More Of My Bestie if They Would Admit That Geats Sucks and We Should Destroy Ace , Keiwa , Suel , Jiito , Samas and Black Tsumuri !!!!!!!!!!
Michinaga , Kousei , Kyuun and Zinn were the only good characters in Geats similar to Kiba , Kaido , Keitaro and Hanagata.
@@saiyaujeff8171wtf lol
Gya-Go was a culmination of a colossal storyline weaving the DGP and the Kurama Zaibatsu into something wild, and made for absolute PERFECTION with Neon. For all this time Neon had been dealing with being Akari's Replacement Goldfish, Irumi's constant pressure to live like Akari when Neon was her own person, and Kousei's inability to handle even a SLIGHT drop of his own grief. Kousei realised that and wanted to make amends slowly, and when Neon was captured he KNEW he had to act to make it up to her. And GOD DAMN WAS IT AWESOME.
And then he hands it down to Na-Go, and she goes ham in ways he never could, combining his dreams and desires with her own to be her own person and just BODY BEROBA ready for Michinaga, and it felt SO RIGHT to see her use it in ways he never could have DREAMED of!
@@saiyaujeff8171ahaha spam as much has you want it didn't change the fact that Geats was the highest rating reiwa rider ever
I thought Time Fire was a cameo at first, but he ended up having a much pivotal role. I already knew he was time fire because of his deep voice. Especially when he yells
The pose was when it clicked to me.
When I finished this series, I thought: “That makes three Kamen Riders that are gods now.”
Had to come back here for this one. So I don’t know how but I finally as of today finished watching the rest of Geats. I kept up with it till the halfway mark and just got super busy with college and never got back to it until recently, but my god am I glad I came back to it.
I loved everything I saw while watching it as it aired, so I had a good feeling about watching the rest, and for a while Ex-Aid was my favorite rider show which was also my first season back when I started officially watching rider in 2020, but I have to say, Geats is now my new favorite rider season.
Everything from the characters, to the story, to the action, to the music, to the villains, and the aesthetics were all just so damn incredible!!
I recently said King-Ohger has dethroned Shinkenger as my favorite Toku show and bumped Shinkenger down to 2, well Shinkenger can’t catch a break cause I’m putting Geats as my 2nd favorite Toku show right below King-Ohger and right above Shinkenger.
Geats is an absolute masterpiece that I will 1000% be buying on blu-ray when it releases!!
Geats is such an awesome series!
1. Ex-aid
2. Geats
3. W
1:05:27 Yeah, needless to say when Sara got brought back and died again, I looked at my screen and said "great job Keiwa."
So this series had me from the jump. It felt confusing at first but I love itttttt. It even does something I hate that Kamen Rider has been doing recently and that's ignoring the main character upgrades. Ace ACTUALLY uses all his suit upgrades for a long period of time. We even get his Boost Mark 2 form reappearing in the final 3 arcs even though he has mark XI. I love that the supporting character got fleshed and it didn't feel rushed.
The current super Sentai won me over. I was iffy at first but I love this show. 3 for 3.
Geats Was a Dumpster Fire It was even worse than Zero-One None of the plots after episode 24 made any sense, they reused too many ideas done from Takahashi's awful writing , Ace was boring and Keiwa became an dogshit after thought, they undid their own plot of getting rid of the admins, the Jyamato lost crediblity, etc. + Takahashi Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Write Anything For Rider Ever Again.
@@saiyaujeff8171reading this again, none of the plots after 24 make sense? Did you not even watch the show?
I really liked Geats. In all aspects pretty much.
I never could get into Kabuto or Decade with the smugness and seeming not to care that the protags displayed. Ace won me over by being both, and having enough self-control to be like: "You BEAT me, Keiwa, Neon!" And his Boost progression of his power and his fury against the DGP. I love that Mark 3 wasn't technically BERSERK, Ace was just PISSED.
And Keiwa won me over with that move too, and his overcoming Bujin Sword was a beautiful closer.
Neon and her family were an amazing storyline, with Gya-Go finally able to pass his dreams to Na-Go through the Fantasy Form.
Michinaga was very much akin to Taiga, where he had to break his haughtiness by learning to trust the other Riders.
The sponsors and Zitt were an awesome way to metastory, especially Zitt, Suel and Ace powering up from the audience!
Also the DGP as a concept was the most novel way of incorporating a massive Rider cast. Though it does make me wish we still got backstage webisodes after each ep for playercam moments. But I can't complain too much when it gave us the final arc's DGP where I got my wish of having one where teamwork was rewarded with granting the entire team's wish.
um no the neon storyline is not the best since she barely is in the plot and is more treated like an sidestory and she shouldn't have forgiven her parent for that, her mother did not even make an effort to make amends to her daughter whille her father did
and no the bujin sword was not that good of story telling because of poorly executed was
@@denysvision I still disagree - I feel like Neon was always a solid part of the plot. Early on is her breaking out and finding her own way from being parentbound all her life. Then she got a ton of focus as the Desire Star in that arc. Then the JGP hit and broke her, leading to her father's shot at redemption to bring her back. There's no guarantee she actually made up with her mother, only her father is explicitly shown making amends.
As for Bujin Sword... Keiwa is the patient man in the proverb. Sara was the straw that broke the camel's back, and I do not blame him ONE SECOND for going the way he did. He wanted SOMEONE, ANYONE to pay for Sara's death, and I think that's also why he took over the Gang Riders.
And him getting the God-Given Reality Check allowed him to focus that wrath on those that deserve it, like Kekera.
You're welcome to disagree, of course, but don't expect me to follow in it and especially don't throw half-points at me to do so. XD
He is the star of the stars of the stars. 😂
So not a constellation.
@@thatman666well ya know……
Geats was a great show. Michinaga aka Kamen Rider Buffa is still my favorite. I said he was back in you guys first impressions video and a year later I still stand by that, and I really liked Beroba. Also Tsumuri is played Kokoro Aoshima who was previously Alice in Zero Dragon Blood. She was truly a terrible actress in Zero but I'm glad she has gotten much better. But Geats isn't my favorite Rider show Kamen Rider Blade is still my favorite Kamen Rider show. But Geats is definitely up there. It's so similar to Gaim but so different at the same time. It's so much better than Saber and Revice. I still haven't watched the Geats and Revice movie because I just do not want to see the Revice characters again. Besides Hiromi I don't want to see any of those characters again. Anyway that's besides the point. Geats was great. Also every time I saw Neons dad I would scream TIMEFIRE!!!
Michinaga Azuma effectively had to get slapped into trusting people. But he DID GET THERE, in a testament to having the right support crew around you to help you through your main problems. I love how his ending form contrasts his early form. Remember early on? He'd not be caught DEAD with someone else. Then after the show? He's able to enjoy himself and his newfound friends!
I've done a full deep dive on the Kuramas on another comment. XD
But yeah. TIME FIREEEEEEEE!
I’ve been thinking that the arcs kind of go the Teen Titans route where each arc focuses on a specific Rider.
Encounter-Tycoon
Conspiracy-Punkjack
Divergence-Nago
Lamentation-Buffa
Yearning-Hakubi
Creation-Geats
Is Matt gone?!? Damnnnnn. I liked this channel because of you three!
He should’ve been in this review
Gotchard is hard to gauge at this point, we'll have to wait and see.
It’s decent, the chemies just had to talk and Houtarou is way too naive
I kinda like it, might be a good break season from Geats and King-Ohger.
NEXT TO ZERO-ONE KAMEN RIDER GEATS IS THE TOPS. I MISS PUNKJACK ALREADY JUST LIKE THEY SAID NEED MORE COWBELL WE NEED MORE PUNKJACK.
"Geats started off good but ended up Dogshit like Decade and OOO After Tsukasa and Eiji's Death...Maybe I'm wrong but that's how it felt at the time I Fucking Hate Yuya Takahashi + Would Be Even More Of My Bestie if They Would Admit That Geats Sucks and We Should Destroy Ace , Keiwa , Suel , Jiito , Samas and Black Tsumuri !!!!!!!!!!
Michinaga , Kousei , Kyuun and Zinn were the only good characters in Geats similar to Kiba , Kaido , Keitaro and Hanagata.
@@saiyaujeff8171bruh, really?
Mr Halloween got the most messed-up death on CHRISTMAS DAY and I am still not over it and I AM STILL NOT REALLY OKAY AFTER IT
I can't remember if this was explained, but is there a reason why Keiwa couldn't ask Tsumuri to revive his sister (instead of getting the Bujin Sword Buckle) or even ask Ace to revive her?
If that happened then Daichi wouldn't be redeemed...because everyone wanted that, right?
@@Crazyorb7464 Keiwa is Trash Garbage and Could Easily Be Excised Out Of Geats With Zero Problems
@@saiyaujeff8171 I won't say he's garage but like after the first arc, they really did Keiwa dirty with his character.
@@saiyaujeff8171nah man, that’s sniffing some copium right there
His mind was clouded by hate when he was talking to Tsumuri. He DID try with her later though, and cost them the chance to get her properly revived.
It was only when he learned to trust Ace that he got her back.
Kamen Rider Geats was okay it had great fight scenes.

@@saiyaujeff8171now this is just sad
@NightwingTV don't mind him bro
Pretty sure that ginpen had a sick son and not a sick daughter
One thing I have to say about Geats, whilst it still was a bit Meh, they definitely did the Broken Tycoob ark better than they did the Broken Daiji ark from last year

@@saiyaujeff8171stop copy pasting everything dude
Bujin Sword was a very solid arc. I LIKE the Broken Daiji arc, and I can sure agree this does it WAY better.
@@alunbuss7877 Bujin Sword was SOLID, but I didn’t LIKE the Broken Daiji ark, cause he came off as WHINY
@@deadgalaxy1 Fair. I liked Daiji's broken arc because it gave me a feeling that he was losing hope. The coincidences surrounding it weren't great, but it all made sense.
Keiwa's broken arc, he legitimately lost EVERYTHING in a FEW SHORT DAYS. He needed that heart to be a ninja. Without it he was a directionless blade like I felt Kekera wanted. It was only in him finding strength in others again that he got her back and recovered. It hit THAT MUCH HARDER as a result.
Do you guys have any plans to cover Buffas VCinema when it releases?
Kuuga uses a gun as well
I loved this show. My only real complaint is with Nudge-sparrow's motivation... As in what the hell was it? I cannot understand his arc through this show. Otherwise, pretty great.
Gaining knowledge even if it means killing people
Nudge-Sparrow doesn't find any happiness at all in his normal life, so he tries to have other people memories to enjoy their happiness. That's what Ace said the in series when Ace, Neon, Michinaga and Daichi (Nudge-Sparrow) go to the tree of knowledge
@@kamenriderking6453 Thank you for explaining. Maybe I missed that part. Just found his arc and continued inclusion odd. He honestly only made sense to me in 3 parts.
@@joeyjjmoore To be honest, Daich is a better villain than Suel
@@kamenriderking6453 confusing character aside.... I think I agree. Though I wouldn't trade that final battle for anything.
I don't know I would call Geats a favorite of mine, but definitely WAY BETTER than the past several riders and the best show since Ex-aid
And you know what, I'm not excited for Gotchard at all, gonna go back and watch Kingohger instead (Reiwa era sentai has been so good)
Entirely valid about Gotchard. Even if you liked Geats that much, Gotchard is gonna be such a change of pace that it'll be hard to converge it.
I enjoyed Geats.....until the "praise the fox jesus", cause I don't know - most of the story aspects and handle of the characters weren't convincing me at all and there were parts I genuine asked "Uurrgg, can this be over already".
Geats on his own is good, but I don't feel the urge to watch again honestly.
Please make an American adaption of this show
This has no relation to this video but what happened to Matt?
As they replied many times to this question:
Watch near the end of their Saber review.
19-hour grind of a Fortnite player
A squad of four of them to be specific
Can’t say I agree that Sentai’s been great lately, Kiramager’s been the only watchable show in the last five years.
You should try donbrothers again
@stanleytandiono4857 that assumes I didn’t already watch those shows and dislike them
Damn bro, I know Zenkaiger and Donbrother have some of the most ugliest suit in the whole franchise, but the story is a banger, especially Donbrother
@stanleytandiono4857 those two are like, a 100x better than any show from the last decade
Build is still my favorite, and Geats is not even close to it. They resetting the game every few episodes made things really boring for me, and the villains were so underdeveloped...
Tokucast hates Build
I'm glad this terrible series is over. Really liked Gotchard's first episode.
Keiwa is Trash Garbage and Could Easily Be Excised Out Of Geats With Zero Problems
Nah man, I think that’s just you
No, there are plenty of people I know that didn't like Geats.
Fair that you didn't like it. The style was never gonna appeal to everyone, but from the looks of it you're one of only... Two, three? Who're commenting with dislike.
Any particular things that rubbed you the wrong way?
@@alunbuss7877For me, Geats has some plot issues in the last arc and Suel is a boring main villain. But beside those things, Geats is in my top 5 best series of all time

Lol I think you are so wrong, it feels like you went in wanting to hate it and that’s it
Man, none of your shit are making any sense at all. I agree that Geats is not perfect, it does has some plot issue in the last arc and Suel is a boring main villain. But those don't cover the fact that Geats has one of the best story telling in Kamen Rider. You saying Ace is boring??? He has the cocky personality like Tendou and Tsukasa, but also understand the feeling of others, and has good backstory and motivation in the series, the best main character in the Reiwa era right there. Keiwa has a pretty good development, he starts off as a normal good guy, but also kinda selfish when he wanted everyone to stop finding happiness to help innocent people, the he started becomes stronger and mature in personality, then lost his way after the death of his sister, and finally realize what he did wrong and make up for that. Geats has one of the cast in Kamen Rider bro, AND THAT'S A FACT.
@@NightwingTV nope, he is right
@@kamenriderking6453 i not say is the best storytelling in kamen rider because the show has so many asspulls that it literally breakes the eniter show, with black tsumuri, with regard omega's broken abilities, ideas that are way to late implemented, azuma having his op buckle this whole time without using on keiwa, beroba using her rider form instead of her monster form, fight between keiwa and kekera felt rushed, and no the "keiwa lost his way when he lost his sister" was executed poorly since not only sara did not defend herself and get away from daichi, but keiwa double it down when it should have been obvious that he fucked up and it ended in a such a fast way that keiwa remains the exact same person at the episode 16, and ace is not boring and i know that but takahashi rely to much on ace's story and it take A LOT of space where it should have use to put the ideas for the rest of the characters earlyer, neon shouldn't have forgiver her parent especially her mother where she did nothing to earn it
@@denysvision Agreeing a troll who loves to spam opinions towards Toku community, does not support the argument.
im sorry to say to you but i complete disagree on the show been good because there are so many inconsistencies, plot holes, and in general asspulls that i cannot say is good, the final arc is the worst of the show and the desastar plot line feels meaningless where neon does not get any consequents, not to mention the JPG arc that fellt like is just there to explain ace's story instead of actually been about the rest of the characters, keiwa remained sidelined and even with his dark path that was poorly executed keiwa remains the exact same with no changes, neon ended in a such a clishe way that i role my eyes, ace just becames the fox jesus that it hinders his character a bit, while azuma despite having a cheap win to beroba by having his hacks this whole time and beroba not using her monster form, azuma fells consistent and he is the best character trewout the show, and the show did not payoff or deliver on the plotpoint and even the ending did not stick the landing, and i can get one and one but you get the idea
Well, that's the similar experience I had towards Build.
