Just curious. I mean is there anything wrong with just killing someone on a show? Is it really that bad? I laughed when killing characters on yu-gi-oh was turned into banishment into the shadow realm but I groaned when they "vented" the first Rider on Dragon Knight. The show is aimed at an slightly older demographic and is it not important to show the consequences of violence in such a show? Why don't the just say that they sent Kamen Rider Scissor to a farm upstate to play with other Riders on a big farm if they are going to come up with something this weak?
Bu on the plus side we are getting domestic toys including a belt. thank you Bandai.

Unfortunately it's still a kids' show, and still has to follow certain mandates by both the FCC and the network it's shown on. Honestly, I think Venting is a whole lot scarier if there's no chance of getting back like Len said. Even worse if you're conscious and stuck in this void.
Also the Dragon Knight belt is lame. It looks cheaply made, the buckle fatter than the Ryuki belts (all three versions), and it doesn't look like you can slide the deck in. In fact the buckle looks like it might be permanent, which means the belt just makes the sound when you turn it on probably. Also the Dragon Knight version of Drag Visor, the eyes are solid plastic and don't light up.

You have a very good point about getting stuck in the void. I am more bothered by American Broadcast standards about things of this nature. kids see worse everyday at the schoolyard.
I thought the belt was cool as a further enticement to get my son into more Kamen Rider series like Decade. He is 7 and Dragon Kinght is the first series he can watch and understand. Although he has seen many subbed anime series like Gurren Lagann and understood them pretty well.

I guess Americans standards are different from Japan. I seen shows that are aim for a "younger audience" with mild violence and mild language (not the heavy stuff like f**k, maybe s**t, b*****d, or a** here or there that would be rated PG here) were as you don't hear that in shows for the younger kids in N. America. But I do agree with you, you hear the language around you, and kids see things worse then on TV. I mean some of the cartoons these days have some sort of violence content in them. Anyways, I haven't watch any Kamen Riders that N.America dubbed or done, and I know they would chop half of the story line out and add stuff in because of "N.A TV standards"
