| While the two buffoons outside are busy arguing over who looks more pathetic, this dumb Shocker guy inside is out here acting even worse lmao. And man did they make sure he felt that shame, dude got his ass absolutely handed to him holy shit HAHAHA. Then some monster guy showed up, and that’s when it hit me, oh they’re actually serious about this. And when we ran into yet another one of these dudes at the restaurant, that really sealed it, this is all real huh xD That backstory where dude got zapped and it turned out his Shocker suit was the real deal had me dying... and our blonde dude here was there to see it, and became a fan on the spot lol. Meanwhile he’s got this absolute knockout of a girl around him who clearly doesn’t take his whole Shocker obsession seriously... or so we thought for a sec, before she straight up admits she’s actually part of the Shocker gang herself.... LIKE WHAT??? LMAOO |

| Alright that’s it this show has motivated me to watch Shin Kamen Rider this weekend. This is just a batshit crazy watch that’s nonstop laughs and action, I love it. So you mean to tell me this isn’t a parody and that Shocker/monsters actually exist in this world?? Things just got so much more interesting. Guess that means our leads will have to get some real power ups if they’re gonna actually be taking on an evil organization. Saw the ending coming from a mile away but still loved the episode! Everybody shocker till a real shocker show up, lmao. The yakuza guys getting taken out by shocker had me crying, almost as much as Tojima was when he saw one of his childhood idols brought to life 😭 you’re not supposed to be hugging your arch nemesis, Tojima! Love that Yuriko just knocks his ass out. “Did we beat him” Yuriko asks as bro is on the floor lifeless lol. That totally wasn’t a hallucination and was an actual monster that showed up too, right? Going out with your employee and sitting down on the clock talking to customers is crazy af. Are any of the KR fans in this town actually sane lmao? Saw the Yukarisu twist coming a mile away, BUT is she actually in hs because isn’t bro a grown ass man dating her? Or did she just infiltrate the school to fight Yuriko? Was kinda confused there. At any rate, next week should be fun as hell and hopefully Asano’s perverted ass gets caught in the crossfire since he wants to blackmail Yuriko. Creep. |

| You know what, I absolutely would become a supervillain to protect my vegetables from the government and HOA. Some more fighting, this time against a genuine Shocker, plus the newcomers Monster Guy, Mitsuba, and Yandere Shocker Bitch. Things might change now that the story's about more than just some fools playing dressup. I hope this series keeps the comedy coming. |

| Haha im digging the yandere! We're only missing a kuudere now |
| Weakest episode yet, i guess i'm let down by the fact they introduced real monsters, i liked that it was about adults pretending to be heroes and villains from an old tv show but now it's just being a regular super sentai show i guess, i'll keep watching and hope the show can throw other curve balls atleast |
| Deep dark fantasies |
| This shit is hilarious even without context. |
| The villians are real now this episode was such a good twist. I can't wait to see Yuriko and Tanzaburou become real heroes. Let's hope Tanzaburou gets a real Kamen rider outfit too. |
| I was suspicious about this having superpower tag and was wondering if it was a mistake while half believing that this really will turn into the real thing and am actually glad it did. Now whether they will become real kamen riders is another matter. They made it very obvious that the girlfriend was a shocker so no surprise there. Also that student is hella creepy and annoying. Production incosistencies this episode, specially with the character proportions. Putting aside gigantic oppai the heads were smaller than body size at some shots and sometimes bigger. I hope the rest of the episodes will be more stable. |

| Another fun episode ❤️❤️ Finally, Yuriko and Tojima kicked ass together. Too bad that Yakuza guy finally got to see the real Shocker Combatman that he admired but I guess it didn't go the way he would have expected. The villains never need fans and Tojima crying upon seeing his rival 😂😂 we got a shocker inhumanoid as well. The manager of the restaurant appearing out of nowhere and inserting himself into Yuriko and Tojima's conversation lol Tojima finally has someone to speak with about his hobby and him trying to get her LINE info was hilarious. Asano already dreaming of blackmailing Yuriko and doing naughty things with her. Only in his dreams.. 😂🤣 It was obvious that Yukaris is also a shocker 'cause of the op. |

| I'm loving it even more the owner is dating a shocker, alala |

| This has some shades of Samurai Flamenco, where a "realistic" plot scenario suddenly runs into real villains and monsters, albeit much quicker this time. Curious to see how well they pull off deconstruction of the tokusatsu genre. |

| @Kjeldoran109 Dude I think I know what you mean but it's been a while since I watched Samurai Flamenco you'll have to jog my memory a bit. When that twist happened in that show, they were fighting this one tough villain but I could not recall. Who was the villain that started the Samurai Flamenco train derail? |
| Just watch whatever anime you like bro |
| The musical accompaniment and Yuriko alone are worth a 10. |
| I think this episode really flips the narrative on what we initially think of the Shockers. While they've always been painted as the typical bad guys, this episode does a great job showing there's more complexity to them. It's pretty telling, I mean, we have the virtually pacifist farmer Shocker, along with the supermarket Shocker— who was actively stopping the robbery of the fake Shockers. It was kind of a shocker (pun intended) when he got attacked by Tojima and Yuriko, who just saw him as a threat without really considering the bigger picture. The dude himself was flabbergasted when the only thing he did was henshin'ing into a Shocker. In a way, this episode challenges the simple good vs. evil narrative we’ve been fed and makes us question who the real villains are. To me, the Shockers, in this context, aren’t all that bad after all, and sometimes their actions are driven by something more complex. It’s a reminder that sometimes the "bad guys" are just trying to enforce some kind of control in a chaotic world, and the real enemy isn't always so black and white. Themes like this especially in Tokusatsu and super robo animes make it an interesting watch. It kind of reminds me of an episode from Albegas, where a Reploid/Derringer wasn’t as evil as expected and he actually did end up saving humans. As for Yukarisu, she looks to be an incredibly jealous girlfriend (Shocker or not) but is (probably) pretty harmless — honestly, even human girlfriends can get possessive and go off the rails over their boyfriends xD |

| @thewiru The production has a problem with action sequences. Those felt way to stiff. |
| Truly a shocker! But let's see what gonna happen |
| Damm, I didn't expect there to be a real shocker with powers and a monster. That monster has such a cool character design, especially when it reveals its fangs. The class kid is so obsessed with his teacher that his daydreaming actions are being done in reality. The manager is with a shocker; the poor guy is dating his enemy. The girlfriend's design is awesome with the multi-hair and face colouring. |

| This anime gets better with each episode. That twist was really unexpected. |
| My candies: |
I picked this up after reading some comments, and so far so good, I'm having a lot of fun with this show. It's great to hear Ai Kayano in a new show, and man, Yuriko is hot as hell, haha. Can't wait for more! |
| When this started I thought it would kind of be like the Kamen Riders who do it professionally in Japan (I am sure there is a word for this but I can't find it.) except they'd be vigilantes fights "real crime." It never occurred to me that there would be a real Shocker organization complete with actual monsters! If I wasn't already enjoying this I'd be completely hooked with this episode. |

HansDevX said: Lmfao. After the 2nd episode I was interested to see how will they continue this without becoming some boring slop but this new added twist has managed to keep my attention. The two sides of the viewership coin. |
| That plot twist in the new guy's story legit got me by surprise, I thought that veggies man was going to be his mentor kinda like Yuriko's dad was to her, so him being a Shocker blew my brains off lmao Poor Yuriko, she has a pervert student stalking her, finds out Shocker is real, and now this shit happens with that "Harley Queen" like, this woman can't have a break 🤣 It made me really happy that Tojima immediately showed feelings for her tho 😌 |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
Watched 3 episodes and I gotta say I’m actually liking this so far. I love freaky over-the-top shit with big-titted freaky chicks like Yuriko. My only nitpick so far is the fact that the animators changed her panties.  Why they would replace sexy silk lingerie with poka-dot undies is beyond me (if not blatantly unforgivable), but I do like how her Tackle costume automatically adds 30 pounds.  Anyways. I’ll definitely be keeping this. XD |
| Every episode is gonna be a banger after banger after banger like this? Because my god I'm loving it! |
 |
| This anime keeps getting better and better |

| @MegamiRem The part when the boy was dreaming about her was a very clear proportions change to show his lust/view of her. |
| What a Cliffhanger huh |
