Faiz would be good as "555", but it's not very catchy which I'm sure would hurt it's chances of being used. I like "Ace" for Blade. I think Hibiki should be (now I don't know much about Hibiki since I haven't seen a bit of the show...yet,) Kamen Rider Demon Hunter or maybe Oni/Oni Hunter. Kabuto should be KR Beetle, and I like the sound of "Rail-King."

well, the "beat" in Beat Demon is from the beat of a drum, which the main rider uses, and "demon" because the riders in the series are demons. I chose Rail-King because Train-King didn't sound so appealing

Kamen Rider Blade= Masked Rider Ace of Spades

Kamen Rider Garren= Masked Rider Ace of Diamonds

Kamen Rider Chalice= Masked Rider Ace of Hearts

Kamen Rider Leangle= Masked Rider Ace of Clubs

Wing Knight · 10-05-2007, 05:06 PM

^ Remember, their not using "Masked" in the adaptation. True it could change if the show is a success and they make translate more series, but I'm betting they will stick with using "Kamen" like they are doing in Kamen Rider Dragon Knight.

not bad. a bit lengthy, but pretty cool. though they'd probably use "kamen" instead of "masked"

Kamen Rider Kabuto - Kamen Rider Horny

Fixed.

And I like these, even though they're the most obvious.

Kamen Rider 555 would keep its name. Of course they could always call it "Kamen Rider Firefly."

Kamen Rider Blade could stay the same, too. (Or, perhaps, "Kamen Rider Ace of Blades.") Blade and Chalice fit the card scheme fairly well. Consider that playing cards descended from tarot. I'm not sure if the Jack represents the Knight or the Page. In any case, if you remove one or the other from each suit, plus the Major Arcana, you'd be able to play poker with a Tarot deck. Two of the suits in Tarot are "Swords" and "Cups," or, alternatively, "Blades" and "Chalices." What they'd call Garren and Leangle to fit this scheme without sounding dumb, I have no fucking clue.

Hibiki might actually have a shot at staying Hibiki. With the success of "Heroes," maybe they could pattern Hibiki after Hiro somewhat. People might actually get it.

As to Kabuto, I have no doubt almost all the names would remain the same, except Sasword, who might become "Scorpio" and TheBee who might become "Hornet" or "Wasp." Gattack might become, I dunno, "Pincer," perhaps? (Yes, I know that both Kabuto and Pinsir are Pokemon names.) Though I think "Kamen Rider Hedgeclipper" would be a nice fit.

Den-O would almost certainly become "Kamen Rider Chron-O." You can all but take that to the bank.

Chron-O? I doubt that they would use a pun like that

Kamen Rider Kabuto = Kamen Rider Horn

Kamen Rider Gattack = Kamen Rider Pincer

Kamen Rider Drake = Kamen Rider Dragonfly

Kamen Rider Kick Hopper = Kamen Rider Cricket

Kamen Rider Puch Hopper = Kamen Rider Locust

Kamen Rider Den-O= Kamen Rider Time Stalker

Sword Form = Blade Mode

Rod Form = Lance Mode

Axe Form = Axe Mode

Gun Form = Blaster Mode

Wing Form = Wing Mode

Plate Form = Standard Mode

Climax Form = Omni Mode

Ace of Blades sounds wicked for the full show title, but then they could refer to the main character as "Kamen Rider Blade" and all the other characters by their Japanese names as well. It could work, unless of course they're dead-set on the show title being the same as the main rider's name.

They could also make a pun on the word "suit" as in a suit of cards or, the kind of suit a Kamen Rider wears.
