Creepy or Weird Moments
From Kamen Rider Kiva
***This Contains Spoilers!***
There was a
fair amount of creepy in Kamen Rider Kiva, however I had to narrow it down
because if I discussed all of them, this would end up longer than it is. I
started typing this as part of my other review of my thoughts on the series but
then it soon evolved into something else so here I am now listing some of the
creepy or weird moments from Kamen Rider Kiva. This is in no particular order.
*Sorry for how late this is, Hurricane Sandy and NaNo: National Novel Writing Month is this month. So my halloween stuff will be coming out sporadically throughout November. This will
be updated as I go back and finish my initial review of the series*
Ryo Itoya and his little side kick Noboru Kuramae
The one guy
who personifies creepy in this series has to be the Spider Fangire known as Ryo
Itoya in his human form.
He kidnaps Yuri and tries to marry her or something and then when he fails at life with Yuri, 20 years later he starts obsessing over Megumi, Yuri’s daughter. I know their human forms don’t age but if he was in his twenties or older while Yuri was alive then he’s about twenty years older than Megumi and he could be old enough to be her father or her grandfather. That doesn’t stop him because he kidnaps her as well and tries to do the same thing he did to Yuri to Megumi, but he fails at life again.
As if Ryo
wasn’t creepy enough with his obsession with Megumi (who he kidnaps because he
never got over Yuri, her mother) he acquired a sidekick at some point.
Jiro: AKA the Cup Sniffer

I’m
not exactly sure if he lives here
But I wouldn’t be surprised
If this was the place he called home.
Brief Side
Note: Looking back on Kamen Rider Kiva everything makes sense. There’s a lot of
thinking to be done after the conclusion of the show but Kiva is like a jigsaw
puzzle one of those complicated ones with like a thousand pieces and they’re
all tiny pieces. You just have to put them together.
I went on
that random tangent because it helps explain the Spider Fangire. I literally
had no idea why he was important other than to be annoying and creepy. I
thought he had no storyline and I completely forgot when they killed him off.
It doesn’t help the creepy and annoying but it helped solve the ‘no story’
issue.
Anyways,
back to the creepy… There are random
times when he’ll laugh… or something with one of his two puppets or he’ll have
both on while randomly laughing.
From Episode
Six when Ryo kidnapped Yuri.
He
looks harmless doesn’t he…?
Well this
harmless looking dude is actually the Sheep Fangire (known as Noboru Kuramae in his human form) and he’s obsessed with Megumi too. Ryo recruited him
to stalk Megumi so because he wanted to marry her. However since this guy was
obsessed with her as well… he got jealous and decided to stop him… only to tell
Megumi that he’s going to marry her.
And then
this happens…
He wants a
soulless bride, so his wife would be a zombie. He wants to marry a human, kill
her, and then turn her into a zombie. Best plan ever. As usual this guy fails
and is defeated in episode six. But that’s not the end of the creepy spider
guy. He lasts for another four episodes, (eleven and twelve then he disappears
until episodes twenty-five and twenty-six) but his creepiness increases with
each episode.
This happens
in Episode 11:
Followed by this scene...
That god damned laugh, he always does it but no idea why he
has to laugh so obnoxiously...
It doesn't affect Nago though...
He tries to kill Wataru (while he's still in Kiva form)...
Only to
reappear in Episode 12 to do this:
And then
Nago does what we all wanted to do when we first heard Ryo’s laugh…
Bitch
slapped…
In the last
two episodes he’s alive for, Bishop discovered he’s obsessed with Megumi… and
tells him to do what he has to do in order to complete his task of destroying
the ‘traitor.’ I’ll get to that bit of
hypocrisy in a little bit but first this clip.
This is really because I found it hilarious...
One last thing... did anyone else notice the letters S-E-X is spelled out... sort of... it could also be S-O-X but I really think it's sex...
Jiro: AKA the Cup Sniffer
Jiro is one
of the arms monsters in 2008 storyline, but before he became a weapon to help
Kiva he had an important role in the 1986 storyline. He is the last of the
wolfen race because Rook killed everyone in one of his time plays.
To be fair
to Jiro the cup sniffing could be explained by the fact that he feeds off
humans as well. He targeted customers to the CafĂ© mald'amour and began eating them because he’s not really a
human. However that doesn’t make the cup sniffing any less creepy!
And the only reason he cares for Yuri is
because he wants to use her to repopulate the wolfen race. Well does he plan on
having interbreeding relationships? His offspring will be half human as well as
half wolf. Unless the Wolfen race is half human as well then it really wouldn’t
matter if Yuri had his babies. I’m over analyzing this.
I had a great joke for this picture
However I couldn't find the 'song'
I wanted to put with this.
Sexy and I know/I'm too sexy is too easy...
I'm going to describe it the best way I can...
when people go like Innnsstt innssst innssst when pretending to strip.
That's what I wanted to put that to but
I had no idea how to find it... and I tried for like an hour...
Giant Chandelier
So at some
point in Kamen Rider Kiva… this happens…
I don’t know
what that is, I don’t remember why it happened and I don’t really want to know
the answers to either of those issues. It just shows up awkwardly during a fight.
No it’s not explained as to why this thing just shows up.
Bishop: Swallowtail Fangire
My first
impression of this guy was that he’s one of those creepy but kind of hot guys.
Don’t ask why that’s just my impression… and then later on in the series… this
happens…
If that’s not
creepy enough then here’s another picture.
This creepy
side comes out because Bishop decided to kill Mio. Taiga (the prince soon to be
king) planned on marrying her, however she loved Wataru. It was stated in
earlier episodes that the ceremony between the king and queen isn’t really
about love it’s because well the Fangire race needs to survive and has to have
a king. Well Maya, Wataru and Taiga’s mother had two babies one with the former
King and one with Otoya. They’re both qualified to be King but Wataru initially
refused… until Mio died. Stuff happened and then Taiga found out what Bishop
did and he rightfully kicked the shit out of Bishop. Then Bishop threw a temper
tantrum and he wanted to be king because he couldn’t see why Taiga treated him
like crap after serving him for so long… That was where I stopped feeling any
sort of attraction and realized he’s an idiot.
I can't help but think that some of the motives for people doing a complete change in personality and what not are completely stupid. Seriously Kengo toughened up because he made situations a million times worse than they already were. Bishop flips shit because he killed Mio and he knew he loved her. He saw how angry Taiga got when he thought Wataru killed Mio did he believe by telling Taiga the truth he'd be off the hook? If so then he's an even bigger idiot than I thought.
