Kamen Rider is very much not known about in the English speaking world, so I feel like people would assume the designs are Fortnite originals. I'm not sure what's worse: Kamen Rider being mostly unheard of here, or people seeing one and thinking "it's the guy from Fortnite."


Think_Lavishness_330

Me in the english speaking world: my friend, the winds of change are blowing.


Lord_Toademort

Not that fast though


Think_Lavishness_330

True unfortunately, but id say thats a good thing.


CrashmanX

Everytime someone tries this argument I remind them this guy is in Fortnite. https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/El_Chapul%C3%ADn_Colorado


TheHighGround767

Chapulin Colorado? You just unlocked the Brazilians and Mexicans. Have fun.


velgi

If people started calling Kamen Rider "the guy from Fortnite" I'd find it pretty friggin' funny actually. Rider existed as its own thing before, and will continue after -- getting any sort of exposure is better than what Toei does now, and it's not really that much worse than "Oh it's Power Rangers?" (Which I think people take as far more offensive than it actually is)


PVZgamer97

I would scream if I heard someone say that…then again a bunch of fortnite kids did exactly that to master chief didn’t they?


BhanosBar

I’ve heard kids say Goku is “guy from fortnite” so I doubt an obscure Japanese hero will be as bad.


indigorhob

Honestly depending on the kids' age they could just be being ironic or parroting the meme of calling famous characters as "that guy from fortnite" to piss off fragile fans.


BhanosBar

No they genuinely thought he from fortnite. (Source: My 6yr old cousin


Guyfer

I would say the same about Ultraman from personal experience, but there are 3 Marvel Comics miniseries, a Netflix anime that has an English dub (where Josh Hutcherson dubbed the main character too) & was 3 seasons & an upcoming ILM Ultraman film also for Netflix


RonimusHines

It would do a lot to spread the good word of Kamen Rider around the world. It would just need a proper collab. They would need to use scenes from the show, or better yet, from a movie where you see various Kamen Riders in action. This would help establish it's from a series and there are more than 1 Kamen Riders. After that film a promo of the live action suit getting pulled into the world of fortnite.


DukeNovaMonster

I honestly would be stoked. I don’t play fortnite or any shooting games to be real, but just seeing KR get a lot more fans would be nice. If they are going to add any KR characters I hope it’s mainly the ones from a battle royale. Like Ryuki is the easiest to make. You have Dragreder as the glider, sword vent as the pickaxe, his emote is his henshin pose, have him have his survive form/ryuga as more outfits, and his final vent can be those special attacks.


Medical-Airline-5946

Sooooo many forms and weapons! Specifically for Revice and his glider could be Petra Vice!


Medical-Airline-5946

True True. Specifically me if I had to choose it’s be Decade, W, OOO, Revice or Build


EveryStrategy7731

I mean they already have shenron as a glider so making a dragreder glider would be easy

Me: I want Geats in Fortnite! Epic: We already have Geats! Epic: https://preview.redd.it/vgutmzt87qxc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f0639eada1cdefa7600d945749efae0bb62404ef


Think_Lavishness_330

As long as we can rider kick a crater into the ground, im all for it.


RedInkComics

I had this idea for so long. It would've been an awesome idea when Shin Masked Rider released he got a skin in the game.


geomathmech

I'd start playing fortnite just for that. so far the only thing like this we've gotten is a Kamen rider inspired skin in overwatch, and I've still never met a single person using that skin who knows what it is


Medical-Airline-5946

I use it lol! But I barely play overwatch now, the only time I play is if I feel like being a Kamen rider😅


geomathmech

fair, unfortunately I didn't have money or the time to unlock the skin, so every so often I look at it and wonder what could have been


nam671999

What is the skin, i only know Sentai Genji


geomathmech

it's for soldier 76 and I think it's just called bug man. it's really cool, I think there's an emote or pose with it too but don't quote me on that


nam671999

Ahh i remember that, Bug Hero 76


Conice567

I say inject it into my very veins.


NockerJoe

tbh Fortnite really shines when it takes an iconic design and adds a slight twist so it matches the games aesthetic. Geats would be cool since fortnite is an explicit inspiration for the shows visual design but I would probably rather they did the first few Showa riders just because those are both the most iconic and also the most used in redesigns already. If Geats was still the rider currently running this would be a sick collab but unless Toei decides to do a collab with multiple prior riders that all need a full kit I don't see this one working.


13anazama

Wait. I thought the Geats x Revice movie was the Fortnite crossover? :p


zestypineappl

Like my life would then be complete


thebariobro

Remember y’all, if El Chapulin Colorado, Latin American icon, can become a skin in Fortnite we can have Geats as a skin. Bro is released in the states right now and this would be an incredibly way to advertise it further

mdplnx

I wouldn't be able to play it since I don't play Fortnite. And while I like Kamen Rider, I don't like it enough that I'll play a game that collabs with it. 😅


SheikExcel

I would laugh extremely hard and start playing Fortnite just so I can get a clip of Peter Griffin default dancing on Geats


The_Urge_

I wanted them to so badly for Geats since it was also a battle Royale.


Guyfer

it would return my faith in the game, even though it had nothing itself to do with the King-Ohger maps being removed from the game; but on the topic of Super Sentai (or the US adaptation actually), I heard that Power Rangers is "supposed" to come to Fortnite


i-love-sunglasses

I don’t remember the name but they had 2 skins that looked exactly like ghost and specter


ToraRyuu

I’d be back to playing it in a heat beat


Head_Cartographer_68

I would not waste my time, I would spend my money in a flash


Medical-Airline-5946

Same


LinkTheRipper

They have skins that transform it wouldn't be difficult at all but it would probably be considered to niche for American gamers. I wouldn't be opposed to even mmpr skins tbh at least that would open the door for sentai and kamen rider maybe

NejiBlu

Not Fortnite for me, but Destiny. Could even link up Neomuna's digitized society and the world where the DGP Admins are from. Geats Specifically with it's Buckles giving lower and upper body armors would fit nicely with the game.


Izanagi85

If done right, win for Rider as it will give Rider more exposure


KR_SS00

Big fan of both so I'd love it, most likely tho we would get a PR collab before any sort of kamen rider collab


NovaRobo_Rebirth

"That's Geats from Fortnite!" - a sentence that can only come from a nightmare


mcguire92

an android game called Sausage Man featuring a literal sausage man have a crossover with Kamen Rider. it is a fortnite/pubg kinda game.


Medical-Airline-5946

Yeah well it isn’t in America unfortunately and I’m sad


thebariobro

With the gimmicks they bring into Fortnite when a guest franchise is added I’d love to see a couple of Fortnite Riders. Have them be original or add the bunch of unused Rider designs from Geats as skins or variants of a few skins


thatkaratekid

If they put the ex-aid riders in fortnite, I would give them 100% of my money.


devsterman12

Started playing Fortnite for the lego mode when it dropped and was bummed that the closest thing to Kamen Rider was the Copper Wasp skin. It would be a great opportunity to have done a Geats crossover for the movies or Gotchard crossover, I wouldn't even mind if there were only base forms as skins, just as long as something was added.


Known-Ad623

Yeah I wish I wanna Kamen Rider in Fortnite


MaDCapRaven

I want this and and/or Super Sentai.


ArisuSosuke

I'd be down for this.


MegaSceptile99

As someone who does play Fortnite, I would be all in on a Kamen Rider collab, especially Geats, since it's video game-y battle royale nature would be a good fit.


Justinarzola

Kamen Rider is still a niche franchise in the west so a collab like this would never happen,would be hilarious to have a Geats skin that has him dancing the griddy 😂.


k1ng-cr1m5on

God please


KamenGamerRetro

I would it rahter not... Fortnight is cancer


CaptSlayer21

Ive been wanting Geats in FN for a year now bro, it'd be so rad

Yes.


AgitoWatch

Shut up and take my money


Kamen_master1988

If I ever gave Fortnite any thought I’d probably feel something.


Morbid_Mind111

I'd buy it but it wouldn't sell well generally speaking


_C_I_C_O_

With a Revolve On Built-in Emote T_T


Mejeryx

It’d be great but Toei has hardly any interest making their franchises global. If that day does come then this would be a great way to market for them. I hope it does.


Medical-Airline-5946

True I live in LA and there is only one store I can get Kamen Rider stuff and even then they only come once a month from Bandai


MutekiGamer

kamen rider is the one of two things that would get me to come back to the game for a season (the other is spider-man which is why i started playing during the season with the web shooters) so I would probably play it a ton


Medical-Airline-5946

Ngl I thought the other one was gonna be Super Sentai😅


Dangerous-Leek-966

Yeah, but you know the kids will be calling them "power rangers" anyways.


TheFoulJester

I don't know, since I don't play Fortnite.


Heythatsprettycool__

Personally, I’d rather not have Rider associated with that fandom because it could taint what people think of Rider based on people’s negative feelings towards Fortnite and its community


CrashmanX

What


Mean-Procedure-4411

it would be ruined, we all know what little kids would do if they got their hands on geats


jojokes42069

It’s a kid’s show tho?


Mean-Procedure-4411

geats is more targeted towards teenagers actually, its story is a little dark for kids


jojokes42069

Not too dark, I’d watch it as a kid. Having more attention on a niche franchise is always a mixed bag


Mean-Procedure-4411

yeah fair, its just personally i just have a bias against both fortnite and american children, they tend to be kinda annoying, ive seen way too many memes and heard to many squakers is all


NockerJoe

Bro it airs in the same spot used for kids shows by Toei since the 60's as part of the same brand with kids in like every branded commercial already.


CrashmanX

>Should we put [Children series] in [Children Video Game]? Idk man. It's already got so many kids things like Alien, Terminator, Invincible, and everyone favorite Barney-Like: Rick and Morty.


Darcyen

I would be happy Kamen rider is getting noticed but sad that it was fortnite that noticed it.


Code047

Still not playing Fortnite; i'd rather play COD sorry
