Kamen Rider really kicked into high gear over the weekend offering both action and a deeper understanding of its story and mythology. The 3rd episode was the best so far as we meet the big baddie of the show named General Xaviax. He’s a monster in human form whose true shape can be glimpsed in any reflective surface. He is recruiting fighters to destroy the new Kamen Rider (Kitt) and Dragon Knight Wing (Matt Mullins). He wants their advent decks (the source of the power for the riders) and eventually to rule the world.
This was easily the best episode yet of the impressive series. It ended with a killer fight (or beatdown, if you will) with Kitt being slaughtered by Dragon Knight Wing. I guess his training to become a Kamen Rider has begun. The fights were impressive and there was a lot of story (for a kids show, anyway) packed into a fast-paced 22 minutes. The series is getting better each week and is definitely the heir apparent to the original Power Rangers (forget all the rejects like Masked Rider or VR Troopers).
Episode Grade: A-
The cast and crew were recently at a big Comic/Sci Fi Con in LA and I wanted to post a youtube link so everyone can watch part 1…….all the parts are readily available on youtube.com.

Not meaning to correct you, but Len is just Kamen Rider Wing Knight. There’s no Dragon in there.
Kit is Kamen Rider Dragon Knight
Len is Kamen Rider Wing Knight
Richie is Kamen Rider Incisor.
Awesome reviews though.
