Rewritten and re-edited to appease Toei, so you can consider this a remake.

In years past, I would probably have thought of a character like Godai as a bit ridiculous and hard to take seriously. But having watched the show for the first time this year(2020) his uplifting spirit was exactly what I needed to help make some of the days easier to get through.

The most hillarious is battle againts monster that tempting kuuga to jump high that leading to his blue form. He need to run from stairs to stairs and then pushed to fall again 4 times to the ground. Thats some dark souls annoying boss battle there...

One of the realest kamen rider show, where polices are not useless. Seriously even drive polices are not good as this

My favorite Kamen Rider, forever. I doubt there is another Tokusatsu show that i would love more than Kuuga. Story, character developing, the mysteries, power-up sequence, philosophy, fight scenes, life lessons... everything is kept as realistic as possible. And one the rare shows where police is actually helpful. Godai got the power to fight, but it's Ichijou who set Godai in his way and support him with everything he can. A second rider without ability to transform and even more than that. Ichijou taught Godai and myself a powerful lesson: Even without gifted power, you can still fight in your own way, and when doing so, never ever be haft-hearted and focus on what is the right thing to do. I admire Godai Yusuke as Kuuga, and Ichijou as a selfless and dutiful police officer. Kuuga true power is these two man combined.

The Grongi are probably the only villain group/organization in tokusatsu that actually terrifies me. Unlike past and most future villains in Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Power Rangers, etc., they didn't really have a motive for most of their rampages. Think about it: Shocker, from the original series, killed people in a quest for world domination. Gorgom, from Kamen Rider BLACK, killed people in a quest for world domination. The Roidmude, from Drive, were rebelling against mankind. The Grongi? They kill people for the LOLs. For sport. They kill en mass because they have power, and they're bored. They're a roving band of serial killers trying to one-up each other. They truly are, in every sense of the word, monsters.

My childhood show

The ending was actually pretty good. The sways the scenes played out made you think that godai died in the final battle and that 3 months later its about the side characters moving past all the grongi news

I love how little kuuga gives away sometimes. You hear about yusuke's parents, ichijou's dad, etc. but you don't NEED to know exactly what happened to them to just get it. You know how these things have affected the characters but don't need to be explicitly explained

For the bike fight, what I imagine the reason for staying on the bike rather than getting off is that if the monster attempts to speed away (which was the ability of this one) then Kuuga can easily chase after it.

Kuuga's still my favorite heisei KR. It's a very pure show. It's just trying something new on the foundation of an established genre, so it had nothing to lose. On the other hand, it's trying to appeal to the most number of people, so it kept itself simple and accessible. But what I like the most about the show is that it's not even thinking about merchandising or a self-image that's relevant to the current audience. It just ran with it and did a good job with what it had. And I LOVE that it didn't give a fuck about Daguva. He just showed up for like 2 minutes for Kuuga to beat his ass.

13:05 After all these years... these few seconds gave me the best chills ever.

Kuuga is awesome! Yusuke: *covered in blood and gives a thumbs up*

The actor of "Ancient Kuuga" (Old Kuuga before Godai Yuske) is Kenji Tominaga

The police helping kuuga reminds me of the sssp helping Ultraman

When I first saw Kuuga, I was reeeeally pulling myself to continue watching it, but then I began to love the show's simplicity. Kuuga's first few transformations where awesome (ie he punches/kicks the enemy as his armor starts to form piece by piece), his bike fights during several episodes were amazing, and his armor is so cool because it captures the Kamen Rider feel without being too over-designed like the later Riders. Also I love the show's overall feel, where it becomes serious at times, and sometimes a little bit but not too cheesy. Edit: Now that you mention it, I also love the side characters. They're all relatable, and fleshed out.

I enjoyed a good amount of Kuuga, despite it’s age and slower pacing. I like the characters and how a decent amount of change occurs throughout the series. I will say that I feel the climax was a little too brief for my taste, but I do like the epilogue despite it’s length.

I love the burning church scene

I tried watching this season awhile back, and couldn't make it past episode 3. Then I went back and finished others like wizard and drive. Then returning back to this season recently I haven't stopped watching it and having fell in love with it.

*NO FEAR NO PAIN* That's how my previous account was raped by Toei.

Mann, i love kuuga, if only joe odagiri (despite his hatred towards tokusatsu) just come back as yuusuke godai just for one last time in ZI-O.

3:40 ここすき！ My favorite scene!!!! "Please look at me!! My Transformation!!!!"

finished it just yesterday I'd like to say that the ending theme song is pretty good and the way how Daguva's colors contrast Kuuga's is pretty nice like it's already planned to happen where two mighty warriors will have to face off each other

Recently watched Kuuga for the first time, I LOVED it. Episode 12 is now my favorite Kamen Rider episode PERIOD, loved the characters, bike action, and the slice of life elements. It’s my FAVORITE Kamen Rider series ever

Only watched kuuga a few months ago and in my opinion it might be the best kamen rider series. As far as toku goes it’s fairly weak but they nail the human drama (aside from the kid who just whines in episode 3 or something). It almost made me cry which is not something that happens often

Really, you have to review Agito along with Kuuga considering their two halves of the same story. It also explains how OP Kuuga (and Agito) are compared to latter riders, including Build.

At first I was iffy on kuuga. After about episode 12 I didn’t even watch another episode for a good month, but then a friend that told me to watch kuuga was talking about it more and more so i got back into it. I’m glad I did cause i blasted through the rest of it pretty fast. I’m glad i watched it, it was really enjoyable.

I loved this series and watched it while it was on air. Thank you for this wonderful video.

my biggest gratitude to you, sir. i have been a kamen rider fan for 26 years and kuuga was one of the series that i love the most, i've been meaning to re watch it but life haven't give me the time to do so. my nostalgia was fulfilled by watching this video.

Well said man, thankyou to sum up the series. I didn't really get it cause the last time I watched was almost 20 years ago when I was like 6-8. Well done.

Thank you so much for remaking this Marcosatsu, History of Kamen Rider now feels whole again😊

Just finished Kuuga. It was a fun trip. Yusuke is great and I loved all the side cast. The Grongi are terrifying antagonist and that final battle was so intense. I love it. A great start to my journey into Kamen Rider.

This video was funny as hell, and well made, great job man, could tell a lot of work went into this, Kuuga will always be one of my favorite Kamen Rider series, mainly because you had 1 rider doing all the work, not 3-5 lol, and police officers that weren’t insulting for the first time in film history

he give the thumb up until sundown that was lit lol

At first I did not have kuuga at 10 but overtime I started to appreciate more and more until finally the realized this was one of my favorite shows not in only in tokusatsu but like Godzilla the entire entertainment industry as a whole

I already rewatch this series this is so awesome!!

IMHO the ultimate Kuuga is still the strongest Heisei Rider

Perfect timing considering Zi-O 9.5 just poked fun at the whole toy thing.

When will the train appear the past present or future but seriously Marcos plz make Kamen rider den-o history

So grateful to Shout factory for releasing Kuuga. I watched it all the way through and I loved it!

Still fingers crossed for Godai to return for Heisei Generations Forever. The trailer and the poster is building up for that. I won't be feel that bad if Takeru Satoh won't be able to return as Ryotaro since we always have the Taros (Still, please have him back too).

The effects may be dated, but man, the story and characters are oh so good.

Just in time i remember and interested to rewatch kamen rider that im too little to understand. I was 6 years old when kuuga on tv and my country dub ruins mostly the immersion. Thank you for short hidtory about kuuga.

The return!

Had to come back to these good vids

Happy 20th Kuuga

When I start watching Kamen Rider I watch the heisei phase 1 before watching decade I watch kuuga in the end.....and the grongi....there are the most dangerous monsters in Kamen rider

I didn’t expect this to release so fast!

I think this might be your best work.

I know this is years layer but I juwt finished Kugga so I'm glad i can get another opinion on it before i move on to the other Riders. Thanks dude

I just recently started to rewatch the early Kamen Rider seasons

That explains why the original video wasn't working when I tried to re-watch this to get ready for The History of Kamen Rider Blade. Glad you re made this thanks Marcos and love your future wife.

I just learned about this a few days ago and beng watched the whole season great story very well written any other good seasons?

NO kuuga earns all his forms and is slow building and works for it unlike zi o who LITERALLY GETS HANDED HIS POWERS

I can't help but think that Ichijo may have been an excellent secondary Rider.

Glad to see youre doing these again!!! I love this seris!!!

Good news! Shout Factory will be releasing all of Kuuga on Bluray September 2022. Preorders are up on their website now, along with Fiveman.

I forgot you still use Unmei no Senshi for your intro. I just downloaded it a few weeks ago and really enjoy it

I only got into Kamen Rider a few years ago but Kuuga is one of my favs

Watching this list again...I can't help but notice that some of the videos were sadly taken down... :(

I can only find a way to watch up to episode 24 😭 anyone know how to get the other 25 episodes?

4:00 I just realized yusuke wearing a Long Sleeved shirt written 555, maybe this was a sign or an Easter egg for the up coming kamen rider 555 3 years later?

Rewatching dis made my day

I've only watched a dub where it's just the Grongi language... though I think TV-Nihon deciphered what they are saying... so I'll have to watch it eventually... this is my favorite series after all ;D

So I've only just got into kamen rider in the last 5 years. I have to say that some of favorite seasons are thg these older and slower seasons. But where can I find Kuga. Its literally the only season that I cant find online. I can't even find DVDs under 300 bucks.

After all these years, I still dont know if Godai died or not because since his belt was punched and its part of him which could kill him. But oh wel

by the power of "no wanting to die" 😂😂

kuuga paling cerita yg menegangkan di setiap episodenya ,selalu membuat saya penasaran musuhnya juga terlihat serius seperti the mummy itu menjadikan bisa di tonton semua umur ,dari anak2 sampai orang dewasa. beda dengan K.rider lain yg terkesan jenaka dan ke kanak kanakan. semoga di buat lagi yg seperti ini lagi.

I really enjoyed this series ☺️☺️😀. Igive it four stars.

I just finished watching Kuuga, and it was a blast. However, was the Grongi dialogue suppose to have subtitles because the sub-version I watched didn't have any. At times it would sound like the grongi were speaking in gibberish.

Marcosatsu a one question . what's you're opinion about Re adaption of Kamen rider Kuuga in Manga ?

Lah nyasar ke playlist battle royalnya Ken grat

Could you do a History of Legend Hero?

History of Kamen rider Kabuto or Kamen rider build next Please

2:43 pun intended? bcus it's growing form.

who else is excited for Kuuga this friday?

This is one of my favorite shows. period. i have the logo tattooed on my right forearm

“Watch in a well lit room not too close to the tv” Me in my dark room sitting 3 inches away from my tv 😅

I have watched kuuga now two times fully, and I have to say that Yuske Godai is top 5 favorite main chars for Kamen Rider ... Ichijo's char would never, but imagine Ichijo in Agito's G3 ... Epic

My favorite rider all time. :)

The bike stunts in this series are some of the best.

Yeah are you still on that history of super sentai and ultraman and also how do you watch kamen rider? is there a website You can watch it😕 i'm getting into Tokusatsu😉

16:45 I wonder when 555 became a popular term in japan

First rider show I watched from start to finish. First one I watched a few episodes of was W.

Giving a thumbs up until sundown. I wish I had that kind of confidence.

I have a feeling that you saying “a brand new toy” is going to be a recurring theme in these videos

Kamen Rider Kuuga is quite the epic start to the heisei era of KR imo

Watching Kuuga took away my fear and pain.

It wouldn’t surprise me if he came back in the season after 01, which is the 50th anniversary of writer as a whole.

Please Do Decade Next

4:18 does that not look like Amazonz Omega?

🧐 fascinating

Since Yusuke isn’t the first Kuuga, I wish Zi-O would date Another Kuuga all the way back to ancient times...(1000BC?)

This show was my true introduction to kamen rider.

Could u do a video of history of decade pls

Where's the painted story of Riku and the Linto Tribe with the Zelda music in the background?

That purple suit reminds me of koragg from pr mystic force

Kuuga is one of my favorite series as its simple, slow paced in the beginning unfortunately but... love it!

I did a series of reviews on this series. Did you notice on once in 49 episodes does anyone say the words kamen rider?

Hey man have you read kamen rider kuuga manga. Its pretty dark and pretty cool.
