Faced!

As a follow-up to the "History Repeating Itself" post from a few nights back (which nobody commented on...boo-hoo) I forgot about one of the greatest "Simultaneous Rider Kicks" of all:

Kamen Rider Gills vs. Another Agito

Kamen Rider Gills vs. Another Agito! Now, I love Gills as much as, if not more than, the next person, and the Gills Heel Claw is one of my favorite moves in a long time. But I have to laugh every time I watch the scene when they first face off, if only because Another Agito demonstrates the seemingly-obvious way to counter Gills' attack.

You just step back and kick him.

And THAT'S what medical school will do for you, kids.

  1. We all petitioned to not comment on that post! Seriously, I meant to say that it gets flashier every year, but I was busy :P

    Finals week, it's crazy!

  2. Gills.. ¿mens that organ what the fish have for breath water? is related with his powers?

  3. I don't remember if Gills could breathe underwater...but Kamen Riders have traditionally been awesome underwater fighters.

    He was probably named Gills because the person inside, Ryo, is a competitive swimmer.

  4. Finals, ack, I hear you!

    I'm not sure how exactly they settled on "Gills", but yeah, I always thought it had to do with the Ashihara-was-a-swimmer connection too.

  5. I dunno if this is true, but I heard Agito can mean "gills" in Japanese too.
