NEO23 | NEOHEISEI WAVE II「GAIM ガイム」

Kamen Rider Gaim | Kazuraba Kōta

ここからが俺たちのステージだ！ (This is our stage now!)

Kamen Rider Gaim is my top 1 NeoHeisei Kamen Rider series, followed by Build and W. The series started out so silly with a cutting knife as a belt, the fruits dropping from a zipper, and all the corny dance battles among the dance groups. But after all the form gimmicks were out of the way, the series took a deep dark dive, with all the plot twists, betrayals, and pretty gory revelations. I had the honor to meet Gaku Sano, the actor who played Kouta, at Japan World Heroes 2023 and gifted him this exact shirt. It was honestly the moment of the year.
