So is this like a sequel, prequel or the original storyline?

Awesome, I've been meaning to give this a read. Thanks OP.

Does this mean Spirits will be translated soon too?

Why he does look like the SIC? I just read the first chapter and beyond some little things like the main guy being named Kotaro Minami, there's no too much in common with Black. It's good, a bit creepy, but I don't get why it's called Kamen Rider Black in the first place.

>>10987056
>Does this mean Spirits will be translated soon too?

I hope so.

>>10987057
Because it's the original story and concept that Ishinomori created. The TV version was altered specifically to be more child friendly, just like every manga version of Kamen Rider since the original series. In this case, the manga version came first, the TV version second.

Also because it's about Kotaro Minami transforming into Kamen Rider Black to defeat Shadow Moon and the Golgom forces around the globe.

>>10987057
Because the SIC was based on this manga design.

Oh, that explains it. I just finished chapter 2. They actually introduced Golgon in this chapter. I wonder how Ishinomori will handle Shadow Moon in this version.

Gen Urobuchi (writer of Kamen Rider Gaim) said that this is his favorite rendition of Kamen Rider:

"HH: How do you feel about tokusatsu in general?
Gen: I love the Space Sheriff series, especially Gavan. There’s also Kamen Rider Black that I used to watch in high school.Especially the Kamen Rider Black manga by Shotaro Ishinomori himself. It wasn’t exactly targeted towards kids and that final scene was so amazing."

I cannot wait.

That doesn't matter that much. RX is very simple to understand even in RAW.

>>10988436

The wording is stiff and some word choices questionable (like using expletives even though it's a kid's show), but I don't think anyone has pointed out actual translation mistakes.

I'm noticing a pattern here? I'm kinda wanting them to just say "fuck off" to Spirits. I don't care for it, it just gets worse and worse after ZX debut. Generic shonen shit. Those Hayato's chapters on Shin Spirits were neat, though.

>>10989447

I enjoyed it. Urobuchi as well. And he wrote the best Rider series in years.

Time to correct this mistake!
Cheers to the team for finishing this one!

may your life be an easy one OP!

Is it me or Ishinomori's art got a lot rougher than his previous works? Also, there's not even one sameface in the entire story. I kinda liked the new style. What else he did in the late 80s?

>>10987072
>Because it's the original story and concept that Ishinomori created.

Ishinomori was crazy. The kind of thing he does in his manga would never be approved for TV. Also, Black was published on Shonen Sunday which today is considered a safe magazine for the whole family. But again, Devilman and Henshin Ninja Arashi were published on Shonen Magazine. Neither of those were targeted at mature readers, so my guess is that he was writing this story for the kids. You know, the same target audience of the TV show, just slightly older.

>>10986609

Well, that escalated quickly. I wish the series had a better excuse to bring Black back after he was killed by Shadow Moon.

At the Kyoto chapter right now. It's getting more similar to the show by now. Lots of characters show up in this chapter, including show regulars like Kyoko and Katsumi. And finally, Nobuhiko was mentioned and also appeared on flashbacks. I'm really digging it so far. It's different, but still good.

>>10990174
Well, why don't you write one then. I am sure you are better than kindergarten or Toei.

>RX gets complete subs
>Black Manga finished soon after
The only thing that would make this better is if it were February. Thanks so much.

>>10992853
No seriously, what.

>>10992871
I was just pointing out typesetting errors. It's strange how there's so many errors with this release when the previous volumes were pretty clean.

Oh and he also says "Demon Kong" instead of "Demon King" on one page, which made me giggle.

>>10992890

I warned Happyscans about this. I hope they will release a v2.

About the ending, I think it was made to be left ambiguous (I read it in japanese for the first time, so I'm not sure. I didn't get to that part yet), but It's unclear if the Demon King was Nobuhiko or if he was Kotaro all along at least from what I remember.

>>10992890
oh boy backseat editors everyone loves those
where were you when the group was asking for help?

>>10992944

He was just pointing that out. It's different from bitching.

>>10992932
They called the Demon King Shadowmoon earlier though. And how will it be ambiguous is Kotaro fucking killed Nobuhiko at the end?

>>10992992

I will confirm that after reading it myself. I don't recall he being called Shadow Moon in the original, though.

Just got done reading. It was a really fun ride and I'm thankful it got translated. It had a lot of cool ideas that I wish got into the show. Like the training and the far reach of Golgom. The organic design is really cool. Though I do prefer the show designs of Black and Shadowmoon.

Fun fact: If you pay attention to the first episode, you know that Black and Shadow Moon were supposed to be the same from the very beginning. Also, the transformation sequence is a reference to the green form from the manga.

The complete redesign of Shadow Moon was brought late into the game. But it turned out quite nice.

The ending was rushed as fuck, I prefer the TV ending

>>10997135

The whole Whale Monster storyline killed that ending for me. Oh, and Battle Hopper... you know what. Also, Shadow Moon was never the threat he was meant to be. I actually prefer RX ending over this.

>>10997175

>>10997180

Seriously, Shadow Moon is really overrated. He was never that memorable as a character. He pales in comparison to other toku villains like Hakaider or General Shadow. But again, he has a great design and I think that is what appeals the most to the general audience.

Also, the show strongly implies that Nobuhiko's transformation was more complete than Kotaro's, so he should at least be stronger than him. But in the climax of their battle, he was almost killed and needed the help of the Century King to defeat Black. Now that was underwhelming.

Well, they're pretty much equal in the manga version from what I have read. But I still have to work on that.

>>10992932
>>10992992
>>10993286
>>10996667

According to japanese wikipedia. it was not revealed if the Demon King that Kotaro saw in the future was truly Nobuhiko. It could be that Nobuhiko indeed died and Kotaro was destined to become THAT same Demon King that he met before. That was the deal from the very beginning.

Unlike the TV Series, Kotaro and Nobuhiko are the same. It doesn't matter if the Demon King was called Shadow Moon, it could still be Kotaro.

>>10997234
That isn't really fair. I think Shadow Moon's appeal come from being a dark and gritty reimagining of the double riders. What if Ichimonji never become a good guy? what if he became Hongo's BFF before a battle to death? Japan loves tragedy, Japan loves friends becoming enemies, Japan loves "poetry" and Shadow Moon has them all. Even if the character didn't give his full potential, the concept is so attractive that Shadow Moon is inseperable of Kamen rider Black. Arguably, Black wouldn't be so well-received if it wasn't for Shadow Moon.

>>10997903

What bothers me the most is how easily most of the evil Riders are defeated. Like the Shocker Riders before Shadow Moon. Yeah, in the manga the Kamen Rider himself was not so invincible as he was in the series and Hongo was actually killed by them. And Ichimonji had the element of surprise in his favor. But in the series, it's stated that they're exactly the same from the original Riders, but they're easily defeated even so.

It's the curse of the evil Riders. It was never meant to be.

>>10998146
>But in the series, it's stated that they're exactly the same from the original Riders, but they're easily defeated even so.

To be fair, Rider 1 gets beaten twice by one Shocker Rider + one monster.

It's just in the final battle of the arc where they all just blow up at once thanks to Rider 1 and 2's new attack. I thought it was a cheap victory, but before that they had done a good job showing that they were really dangerous.

>>10988546
>>10988553

There's also a Malaysian dub for almost all the Kamen Rider series. Don't know how anyone who's not from Malaysia would think about it but I like it mainly cause it gave me lots of nostalgia from muh childhood, watching RX malay dub when I was 10.

But it's really hard to find any online.

The original Kamen Rider manga (at least the Ishinomori chapters - in that case, there are actually continuations by other authors that use manga elements and designs).

>>10998771

>>10999184

Nope, it's not that old and still ongoing.

>>10999285
is it good?

>>10999297
It's an alternative take on ZX (who only received one TV special). The basic premise is like Kamen Rider Decade, but switch out the heisei riders with showa ones, and discard the dimensional warping shenanigans.

>>10999297

For the action and fan service alone, it's worth a read. Also, the art is great.

>>10998771

They're not really sequels to the original. For example, Tobei looks exactly like his manga counterpart, but he's the owner of Tachibana Racing Club. Also, no mention about Hongo having a robot body.

Kazuhiko Shimamoto's Kamen Rider Black manga also has some similarities to the manga version, but takes place into the series continuity. It's kinda weird.

Volume 4 ends with a very, very big cliffhanger. i like that

You're awesome

My God, I can see it perfectly. That's great.

I'm reminded how much I hate Japanese endings.

>>11003451

That was incredible! but i can't help but feel that the ending was rushed, it was good regardless.

Yep, that's Ishinomori alright.

>>11007465

Maybe it's because the manga is scheduled to run alongside the series. I have not noticied this on his non-TV projects.

>>11007793
Did you even think about the words you just strung together? That doesn't even make sense. If it was scheduled to run alongside the TV series, he would have known exactly how long it was before he ever even started thus making it easier to end the story concisely.

>>11007979


Well, the standard is the one year run. Approximately 50 episodes. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the rushed endings, but as a matter of fact, Kikaider and Inazuman were published on the same magazine at the same time. Inazuman actually took part of the magazine slot for Kikaider and both suffered in the process.

>>11007465

Have you ever read anything by Tezuka, Nagai or Matsumoto? The ending usually come out of nowhere. When it's not a cliffhanger, of course.

The Japanese love ambiguous endings. You learn to deal with it.

He was just trying to differentiate it from Cyborg 009. The idea was to give Kamen Rider its own identity other than the cyborg warrior who fights against the same evil that created him. It was meant to be the definitive take on Kamen Rider.

And that was the same design from both Skull Man and Cross Fire. So it was already decided before Fujioka casting.

It's actually better when you have nothing to compare it to. I love the manga version, but never managed to finish the series. It gets old pretty fast.

Is that a representation of the final scene? Cool.

The part with the bat kaijin on the airliner reminded me of the William Shatner and John Lithgow Twilight Zone segments from the original series and the movie.

>>11017787

It was probably a reference. That episode is really popular. And this manga has references to Jack the Ripper. The Philadelphia Experiment, Star Trek and others.

Finished it today. Now I can totally see what Urobuchi liked so much about this manga. There's even a Helheim Forest in the last volume.

I fucking love Crisis' mothership, back then when I was a kid, I was terrified of it. Flying about being menacing like that.

>>11019840

What?

>>11017787

Then in 3rd Rock From the Sun, Shatner and Lithgow both reminisce about that terrifying gremlin they saw outside the plane.

>>11019890
You don't know about that skeletal mothership those villains always fly about in? Poor you.

I think Demon King is Kotaro all along. He just snapped after Kyoko and most of humanity died.

>>11020069

Yeah, there's also the possibility that he had just absorbed Nobuhiko's philosophical stone and turned into the Demon King. So, doesn't matter which one won the fight, one of them would become the Demon King regardless.

>>11020008

Is this from the TV Series? I have not watched it yet.

>>11007443

It would be frustrating to have to buy 2 of these so you could reproduce the showdown between Kotaro and Nobuhiko. And maybe a green version of Black.

>>10989465

Call me crazy, but I think the Kamen Rider Black manga was a lot better than Spirits.

>>11020695

You're not alone. Spirits is ok, but other than being a Kamen Rider manga, it's a pretty mediocre battle shonen.

So much timetravel at the end
Really enjoying this manga, I have one chapter to go

>>11021948
Whelp thats an ending.
I'm not totally sure who I think would win
