Kamen Rider BLACK 25 – Bike Wars

EPIC. BIKE. FIGHT.

To beat Kamen Rider BLACK's Road Sector, Gorgom is developing a new motorcycle... and it seems that they suck in making it. This is when Birugenia comes in and decides to kidnap someone who can help them make this new killer motorcycle.


This episode is good, seriously good and it feels like a way for the producers to tell us about that they are sorry for the lack of Birugenia in the previous episode. Anyway, the test sequence for the first Gorgom bike is something that I didn't expect. I mean, they actually created a robot just to test the bike's speed and power? They can just use their mutants for that. I am pretty sure that they have one monster that can resist such kind of explosion and the like.

This is when Birugenia comes in and decides to help them, by having the man who was once under the wing of the man who created the Road Sector create the new bike. It made a lot of sense; add the fact that he already won awards just by making bikes. Because of this, he attempts to kidnap the man but lucky enough, Kamen Rider arrived just in time to save the day. But this will not stop Birugenia from making another attempt to kidnap the bike mechanic! The second attempt was successful and now, he is forced to work for Gorgom as his family was also kidnapped by them!


The new bike looks really great and I just love that they added the not simplified version of the Gorgom logo in the side. Now that the mechanic's job is done, it's expected that he will be later executed by Gorgom but before it can happen, he already asked help from the one who owns the Road Sector thanks to a communicator that can link up with Road Sector's computer. Kotaro picks up the signal and saves the family and defeat the MOTW.

As for Birugenia, after testing the new bike, it's time for him to face our hero! The bike fight between the two is really stunning. It's a nice mix between your regular side by side ramming, shooting attacks and my personal favorite, racing. It's one awesome scene and the way it ended it is one of the best ways to end a battle. Sadly, Birugenia managed to escape but what the heck, the bike fight is awesome and I wish that they will do more of these later in the series! At the end, the family thanked Kamen Rider BLACK for saving them. What's cute is that the kid did a drawing of BLACK riding Road Sector! Now I wonder if Battle Hopper will be jealous with that drawing.
