Kamen Rider Agito Novel Translations
I will be using this post to archive my Agito novel translation posts.
Prologue
Chapter 1-1
Support me on Patreon if you’d like
Dear humans,
We have received word that there has been an increase in Ultra activity as of late. How unfortunate. Or fortunate, should you choose to side with them (we would advice against this). Our inside sources has notified us that an old foe of ours may have had an undocumented offspring that we did not account for.
In that case, please allow us to decode and share our files of his legend with you, so that you may be better prepared for this child. As always, please understand that our human language decoder is not 100% accurate, but we will do our best.
Without further ado, Ultraman Taro:
Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4 Episode 5
We do not know when our resources will be able to fully decode these files, but we hope that you will use them to your heart’s content.
Until our orbits rendezvous once more, Baltander
P.S. Special thanks to our friends at Yongou Subs for allowing us to use the lyrics for the OP.
I wish there were good, accessible, Professionally-produced English dubs in the USA for the original Super Sentai series. I know people who are either too young to keep up with subtitles, find subtitles too distracting from the action onscreen or have issues like dyslexia that prevent keeping up with rapid text who would love to see these shows but cannot fully enjoy them because they are subtitle only.
I understand that producing a dub would create production delays and make the DVD sets much more expensive but even an online only dub for the streaming services or a separate dub box that comes later would be acceptable alternatives.
as well as those problems, i assume hasbro would probably kick up a fuss if someone tried to release a dub of any shows that have been used for power rangers
Which is honestly a shame because in my mind Super Sentai and Power Rangers are two very different things. Yes, Power Rangers uses footage and concepts originated in Super Sentai but they have radically different plots, characters, sensibilities and stories than the Japanese series.
(For example, the above is NOT going to fly in an American kids’ show)
It’s honestly one of the reasons I don’t talk about Power Rangers more. The focus of this blog is on Japanese Tokusatsu series and kaiju films (plus a few of the shows they inspired elsewhere). Power Rangers is a thoroughly American product and a part of the American popular consciousness. It doesn’t need more exposure in the US as it was made and crafted in the US using parts from an overseas series.
Super Sentai is a Japanese product made in Japan. It has cultural sensibilities and storylines that really only make sense in Japan and to people with a grasp of Japanese culture. For example, the recent Lupinranger vs. Patranger Christmas episode doesn’t make a lot of sense outside of Japan where (thanks to a BRILLIANT marketing move by KFC in the 1970s) Fried or Roasted Chicken is considered the traditional Christmas Dinner meal.
To me Power Rangers is based on Super Sentai in much the same way The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is based on a True Story. Yeah, the story of Ed Gein did involve grave robbing, murder, masks made of human skin and possible cannibalism but it was in Wisconsin, not Texas and involved one man not a family of weird, inbred maniacs turning people into roadside BBQ. There were also no chainsaws involved.
A good dub of the original Japanese series shouldn’t bother the owners of Power Rangers if they were smart. It’s not the same thing in any but the most superficial of ways and if anything, could net them more money if they put in the cash for the dub and helped license and market it. There’s money to be made here and that’s a language you’d think marketers would understand better than any other.
Your biggest issue isn't going to be Saban or Hasbro per say. It's going to be TV Executives, specifically American ones. Let's get some ugly truths out of the way, as per current executives are guys who were raised in a time period where East Asian media was considered "cheap, low quality garbage" between the Kung-Fu exploits that ran in second-print theaters and AIP Kaiju packages that were sold to local TV Stations (most of which were already recut with American actors)
Simply put, the big heads don't think an all Japanese or even Chinese cast would sell well. Even though Ultraman, Johnny Sokko, and Spectreman are fondly remembered among the geezer generation, the idea baffles them. And let's play pretend for a second: if you've gotten the rights to a show, let's use an irl example Ultraman Dyna in 2000, stations like Sci-Fi/SyFy are going to request idiotic changes that'll cost you more money and they refuse to budge.
What is a company to do? Well you gotta go to DVD/Blu-Ray but paying those costs won't get you far in creating a new dub. I think until new people get into top roles of television we're gonna have to use what's avilable. Hong Kong, the Philippines and Singapore have been dubbing Kamen Rider since the late 1970s. Licensing those dubs would be beneficial for two reasons. 1, you save them from the voids of time and 2, you get content out. Quality over quantity of course but when there's no funding for quality you gotta work with what you got.
1971, X, Kuuga, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Kabuto, Den-O, Decade-Wizard are confirmed to have English Dubs. 1971 and X were dubbed in the same style as Goranger so maybe it's best to wait on those or include them on an extras disc. There's the possibility Agito, Hibiki, and Kiva were dubbed but never aired, license those with Japanese and English audio and you have enough ground to cover. The profits from that could see better dubs produced for the later half of Heisei and even Showa Riders.
Dubbed tokusatsu can be done, just not now, not while everything is like it is.
Good job
Since the major blog purge, I’ve been followed by three sexbot blogs.
Great fucking job, Tumblr. You smart good.
Everyone reblog this with the number of sexbot blogs you’ve had since the blog purge.
I mean… this is really sickening, is it not???
@staff Do. Something. Now.
As of a minute ago, the numbers have increased for me, as well. It’s like this post attracts them. But this is the truth, and I’ll show proof if I have to. As of the purge, the total sex bots I’ve had is:
35
@staff You are not doing anything about this problem.
You have banned and alienated artists, who sometimes use sex and nudity to add to their story. There is no crime in that. Even if it’s a complete sexfest, if it’s marked NSFW, tagged appropriately, doesn’t exploit or hurt anyone else, as well as also obeying your Old Boy rules, what right do any of you have to censor anything, let alone advertise on, pages or blogs without warning, or even paying us for those ads?!
Instead of focusing on these sexbots, and wherever they come from, you instead hunt down real people, people who just have stories to tell, and that’s messed up.
You even target sex workers, who conduct their business professionally, and with appropriate tagging and filtering, and yet do nothing when a sexbot account not only doesn’t do any of that, but steals pictures from those sex workers, too!
It’s clear that you favour tits, dicks, butts, and vajs, but only if you get a cut of the cash they sell through your site. You don’t care about how harmful it is that minors are exposed, without consent, to these sexbots, because you don’t care about minors. You allow all of those bots to do whatever they want, to anyone and everyone, while ruining the lives of sex-positive people, who never do any of the things those bots do, and for no reason! (i.e.: NSFW artists, sex workers, casual nudity, etc).
Your priorities are shameful, as is your method of censorship. It’s embarrassing, trying to defend use of this site, when this kind of hypocrisy is constant.
You don’t care about minors. You only did this to pretend you do, because you got caught. Instead of fixing the real problem, you punish everyone, especially sex workers and minors, instead of the actual people responsible.
MINORS STILL GET FOLLOWED AND SPAMMED BY YOUR SEXBOTS, TUMBLR. WITHOUT CONSENT. YOUR APATHY IS VILE, YOUR HYPOCRISY, ABHORRENT.
Either admit that you are anti-sex, and ban all of it, or actually do your jobs, and ban the people who are being harmful, not the people who are actually following your Puritan rules.
Or, just shut this site down. Give us warning to save what we want, then tear it down. At this point, it’s been ruined by your apathy so much that soon, you will only have sexbots on this site. Hey, maybe then, you can ironically rebrand it into a sex site: Tumblr In Bed, this time with actual consent from the users!
I encourage everyone and anyone to continue to protest and share the harm that has continued and increased since the “purge”. It’s clear they are phoning this in, and won’t notice if we just block and move on.
Block, report (sensitive content and spam), and with every bot, @ the staff. If we raise our voices loud enough, maybe they’ll hear it, despite their heads being so far up their own anuses.
I want to save what this site was created for, so much so that I have not sworn once in this entire post. The original goal has vanished, now, in lieu of hypocritical fatcats pretending to uphold that goal. This, if anything, is an excellent metaphor for how most societies are, right now: condemn publicly what they support behind closed doors.
@staff you’ve made it clear that the only sexual content you pretend to hate is the kind you like the most: sleazy, cheap, invasive, and without consent. If you don’t like being thought of like that, fix it. Change it. Do your jobs, for once!
Otherwise, grow a pair and admit you’re run by sell-outs, quit the charade, and become a sexbot nonconsensual porn site, officially.
We are all tired of this.
Many of us have lost our safe space because of this. You should be ashamed of yourselves. But I know you won’t be. I know you won’t even read this, or respond, or even consider this.
And the fact that this site - one built on community, on the idea of people sharing and connecting through what they love, creating content for all to enjoy - no longer cares about what made this site popular in the first place, is the saddest thing of all.
Change, or admit defeat.
In the last two hours, alone, I have been followed by 6 more bots.
I’m getting really, REALLY angry, @staff
I hit 50 just now. Thanks, assholes.
*Staff when banning half their userbase doesn't get rid of the problem*
@tara-l-blackmore so nudes and intercourse aren't explicit but motorcycle riding karate bugs are. 🤔

Kamen Rider Build the thank god it’s over review
I’m just going to get this right out there. I didn’t like this series. At all. I understand there are a lot of fans for it, and that’s great and all, but at the end of day. Nothing is a perfect match.
I enjoyed Build in the beginning, solid writing despite the characters being lackluster and the fight scenes bland. (You know there’s a problem when the new Sentai is more creative with it’s choreography)
One of the biggest issues is the main Rider himself, Sento. I’ve never seen a more infuriating character in my life. And I’ve watched Ghost. I can’t believe that between him and Takeru, I’d take Takeru every time. Takeru’s biggest problem was just being perfect and unstoppable, but at least he protected his friends. At least he fought. What does Sento do? Cry about being a Rider. And lay in the dirt as he friends die, either from a shitty villain or one of his own inventions. And then he cries about that as well.
On the flip side, compared to another Rider, Emu…what did he do when shit got hard? He became a badass. He dished out some tough love. Emu called people out on their bullshit.
Banjo was a good thing for this show. At first. I was very into his story, until he was ultimately linked to the villain in a very boring way. And Banjo’s worship for Sento was tiring. Why constantly lick the boots of a dude who treats you like shit? If this was a male/female partnership, people would be screaming about how sexist it is. But, because it’s two dudes, it’s okay.
Evolt as the main bad….W E W. Talk about being one lucky dude. Having your plans always work. From start to finish. Even when they go wrong, it was still part of the plan anyway! Give me Chronos or Gold Drive any day.
As for the other characters?
Misora…useless.
Grease…died in both Rider series he was in. Also the shit with him and Misora was annoying and grody as fuck.
Gentoku…ruined. Whoever destroyed his character at the end should be fired.
Everyone else? So pointless I can’t remember their names. Something like forced memes and cyborgs.
My one wish, is that my Overlord, the Demon King does erase Sento from Rider canon.
EDIT: Also the ending sucked. Sento killed everyone.
