Kamen Rider Drive' appeals to all ages with supercar stunts
The latest installment of “Kamen Rider” is a dramatic departure from the live-action TV series that has thrilled sci-fi fans for more than four decades.
In “Kamen Rider Drive,” the bug-like superhero has traded in his signature motorcycle for four-wheeled adventures. Yes, Kamen Rider drives a bright red supercar called “Tridoron.”
“Kamen Rider Drive” has been broadcast on TV Asahi and its affiliated networks on Sunday mornings since October.
When Drive exclaims “Taiya Kokan!” (tire exchange), a tire pops out from the vehicle to be replaced with a tire installed on the superhero’s chest. With various tires equipped with different special capabilities, Drive can launch many different attacks. He also wields the “Handle-Ken” sword modeled after a car steering wheel.
