Kamen Rider Stronger: Difference between revisions

*** {{spoiler|''Spirits''{{'}} take on the issue has its own [[Unfortunate Implications]]. In the series, after Tackle's death, when she sacrificed herself in battle to kill a foe that not even Stronger could match, while hiding the fact that she had been fatally poisoned, Shigeru, while leaving her grave, said "Yuriko... no, Tackle.", respecting her as a warrior even if not calling her a Kamen Rider. Meanwhile, in ''Spírits'', Shigeru claims that she's just Yuriko and died as a normal woman.}}

*** {{spoiler|More recently, the KR Decade short films raised the question of Tackle's rider status directly, and Tackle featured prominently in one of the Decade movies. The jury's still out, but there seems to be a swell of support for Tackle being given full Kamen Rider status posthumously. With the creation of KR Kivala, and Decade showing female riders in the Hibiki-verse, there may yet be hope for female Kamen Riders.}}

*** {{spoiler|The change regarding Tackle makes sense in context. Yuriko is shown in all of the flashbacks to have been someone who loved Jou, but could never live a normal life with him because of Black Satan's reconstruction of them. Thus, by acknowledging Yuriko as a woman, Jou is giving her in death the one thing she couldn't have: her old life back. If anything, Jou was just respecting her wish.}}
