This work stands apart from the smart, stylish previous series entries, instead emphasizing raw, wild qualities throughout. Its signature feature is the vivid depiction of special moves that slice through enemies' bodies, sending blood spattering everywhere.
00:22This work, Kamen Rider Amazon, is different from previous Kamen Rider works, being smart and cool, and instead highlighting wildness and savagery, with its special moves being characterised by vivid depictions of the enemy's body being ripped apart and blood splattering everywhere.
00:47Now, let's take a look at this work.
00:52Kamen Rider Amazon was originally created by Inazuma no Ishi no Mori Shotaro, and aired for a total of 26 episodes between 1974 and 1975.
01:08The story begins in the depths of the Amazon, where wild animals rule.
01:14One day, a secret organization called Geddon, led by the beast-proof Gorgos, attacks the village of an ancient Inca clan to steal the Gigi Bracelet, a treasure of the ancient Inca Empire.
01:27After his entire clan was massacred, Elder Umago transplanted the bracelet into Yamamoto Daisuke, a Japanese man who was lost in the Amazon with his parents and grew up as a wild child.
01:40Before he dies, Elder Ma-go hypnotizes him and tells him to go to his homeland, Japan, to meet a man named Takasaka. However, Gedong, sensing this, also heads to Japan in search of the bracelet.
01:57Later, while strange incidents caused by Geddon were occurring in Japan, Professor Takasaka, who had received a call from Elder Mago and was waiting for Yamamoto Daisuke to arrive in Japan, was investigating the mysterious incidents.
02:12Then, at the port, he happens to encounter Yamamoto Daisuke, who is fighting against the Cloud Beastmen, but he himself is attacked by the Cloud Beastmen and killed.
02:27Yamamoto Daisuke, who witnessed Professor Takasaka being murdered right in front of him, becomes enraged and transforms into Kamen Rider Amazon, and cuts the Cloud Beastman to shreds with his massive cutting technique.
02:41The dying and seriously injured Cloud Beastman retreated to his hideout, but was held responsible for failing to carry out orders and executed by Gorgos.
02:53Meanwhile, Yamamoto Daisuke, or Amazon, who caused the death of their trusted friend Professor Takasaka, meets and receives help from many allies and continues his fight against Geddon in Japan.
03:11Now, let me introduce you to Yamamoto Daisuke, who will be Kamen Rider Amazon.
03:19He is 23 years old and came to the Amazon with his parents, but lost them in a plane crash, leaving him as a child and growing up among wild animals.
03:31He becomes Kamen Rider Amazon when Bago, the elder of the ancient In family, is attacked by Geddon and has Gigi's bracelet implanted in him.
03:43He is then hypnotized by Bago and comes to Japan, but is also being pursued by Geddon, who is after Gigi's bracelet.
03:52Although he couldn't speak at first, he improved until he was able to communicate with the others midway through the show.
04:00The environmental and social gap between modern Japan and the Amazon sometimes made me feel homesick.
04:10His real name is Yamamoto Daisuke, but after Professor Takasaka's murder he no longer uses that name, and naturally those around him refer to him as Amazon, his hometown.
04:24Having grown up in the wild, even before transforming he had great animalistic physical abilities, and was sometimes able to drive away beastmen without transforming.
04:37In addition, he has a wealth of knowledge about medicinal herbs, and there are scenes in which he uses them to heal injuries.
04:46Among the characters supporting Amazon, there is first and foremost Tachibana Tomai, who is an indispensable character in the series.
04:54In the story, instead of running a store as before, he is racing himself, and during one of his races he happens to meet Amazon.
05:05He later became recognized as an Amazon rider and had a special bike built for him, the Jungler.
05:12And, understanding Amazon's high level of physical ability, they are trying to train him to be a bike racer.
05:19Additionally, Okamura Ritsuko and Masahiko, the aged mates of Professor Takasaka, who was murdered in the first episode, also play important spiritual roles for Amazon.
05:33In particular, when Masahiko was a young child, he treated the Amazons the same as other people and patiently taught them language.
05:43Also, from episode 5 onwards, a mole beastman appears who, despite being a beastman, is saved by Amazon and subsequently cooperates with Amazon.
05:55He is targeted by Geddon as a traitor, but survives even after Geddon's destruction.
06:03However, in episode 20, he is sprayed with deadly mold by the mushroom beastman and dies.
06:09Daisuke Yamamoto transforms into Kamen Rider Amazon, commonly known as Amazon Rider.
06:19When his anger towards his enemies reaches its peak, he transforms by shouting "Armazon!"
06:26The appearance is based on the motif of a spotted monitor lizard, and it is not a conventional modified human that uses precision equipment,
06:34A reptilian, functional, bio-modified human.
06:39In terms of abilities, it has excellent speed and uses the spotted pattern on its body as a protective coloration.
06:47They excel in field combat, such as fighting in the jungles of the Amazon.
06:51Characteristics of their appearance and fighting abilities include reptilian fins such as arm fins, flippers, and dorsal fins, as well as gills that allow them to obtain oxygen in the water.
07:03At first, his fighting style was like that of a beast, but from the middle of the show onwards he began to make frequent use of traditional punches and kicks.
07:13The equipment for the Amazon Rider is first transplanted to the left arm of the Amazon Rider,
07:21Let's start by explaining the Gigi Bracelet, which is the source of Amazon's powerful special abilities.
07:27When used together with Gaga's bracelet, which is shaped like the head of the condor, the guardian deity of the Incas, and is worn on the arm of the gun facepiece, you can harness the power of a super ancient civilization.
07:41The all-purpose belt, or Condor, that Amazon wears even before he transforms is not a transformation item, but a weapon, sword, and survival tool, including a multi-purpose rope, used by the ancient Incas.
07:57Amazons use special moves such as the Kiri Cutter and Foot Cutter, which allow them to cut their opponents almost in half with a single stroke, resulting in a great cut.
08:10When the show first began, there were many scenes of the jumps and large amounts of liquid spurting out after the techniques, but this was unpopular with younger viewers, so gradually the emphasis shifted to just the dynamic depictions of the techniques.
08:28In addition, he also showed off a super amputation, created by combining Gigi and Gaga's bracelet.
08:37The Jungler is a special motorcycle ridden by Amazon riders. It is powered by the Sun Stone, a treasure passed down from the ancient Inca Empire, and can run forever without refueling.
08:53It was built by Tachibana Tohei based on the blueprints of Ma Hao that the late Dr. Takasaka brought back to Japan.
09:03Its specs are: maximum power output of 800 horsepower, top speed of 300 km/h, and jumping ability of 50 meters.
09:13As a weapon or equipment, the mouth of the front cowl can be opened to fire wood, and the rear wing can be folded down to allow gliding flight.
09:24In addition, thanks to Amazon's know-how, the robot can be unmanned, remotely controlled, and even travel up vertical walls and underwater.
09:38The Amazon Riders' enemy is Geddon, a secret organization led by the gun-faced machine Gorgos.
09:45They come to Japan from South America in search of the Gigi bracelet that the Amazon Rider possesses.
09:52Gorgos was originally an assistant and scientist to Elder Horse, who transplanted Gigi's bracelet into Amazon Rider, but he awakened to an ambition to conquer the world and began to set his sights on Gigi's bracelet.
10:07He himself has become a cyborg, with the heads of nine villains embedded in the life rock in his lower body, giving him a strange appearance.
10:16Periodically, they request blood sacrifices, called blood offerings.
10:22His weapons include 300,000 degree flames, liquid bombs, monster liquid, missiles, sorcery, and the ability to fly.
10:32The monsters who carry out the operations in Geddon are basically modified animals or insects with human brains transplanted into them, making them life-sized.
10:45The knowledge needed to carry out the operation seems to have been drilled into the brains of the soldiers, but because no brainwashing process has been carried out, traitors such as the mole beastmen have appeared.
10:56The monster's subordinates are the Red Beast fighters, but they are not male, but female fighters.
11:05After the destruction of Geddon, a new enemy, the Galander Empire, begins full-scale operations from episode 15. It is a mysterious organization led by Emperor Zero that plots world domination, and is expanding its operations, using destructive tactics based on modern science to begin with, in an attempt to conquer Japan.
11:27Emperor Zero, a hunter, wears a helmet decorated with flames and Western-style steel armor, and can fire a 100,000-volt high-voltage beam from his long spear called Blue Lightning.
11:45He is ruthless and cruel, and ruthlessly executes subordinates who plan strategies he dislikes.
11:53The monsters of the Garanda Empire are Geddon's beastmen, modified with the technology of the Parthian Dynasty, and their abilities surpass those of Geddon's beastmen.
12:06In addition, the Galander Empire's fighters, the Black Beasts, look similar to the Red Beasts of Geddon, but are male fighters.
12:19Now, finally, it's the final episode.
12:22The final episode will be a continuation from the previous episode, episode 23.
12:28After successfully testing the Helum bomb, Emperor Zero detonated the bomb in Tokyo, destroying the surrounding cities.
12:38They were planning to build the Garanda Empire on the site.
12:43With the bomb ready, the fighter, Kurojusha, drives it to the planned location.
12:52Meanwhile, Amazon is infiltrating the hideout, but struggles with various traps, including poison gas. After somehow managing to advance, he enters Emperor Zero's room.
13:06He transforms into a Rider and fights Emperor Zero, but is hit by a beam from the spear called blue lightning, causing his transformation into a Rider to be undone.
13:18He transforms into Rider again, but the same attack once again detransforms him.
13:25Emperor Zero tells Amazon that the beam from the spear will synchronize with the Bracelet of Doubt, causing the energy to disappear in an instant, and warns him that as long as he is subjected to Emperor Zero's beam attack, he will never be able to transform into a Rider.
13:44Afterwards, a triumphant Emperor Zero informs the captured Amazon that the Helum bomb will explode today at 1:00 PM in the basement of the Pine Building at Shinjuku West Exit in Tokyo.
14:01Meanwhile, Tachibana Tomai and the Okamura brothers were worried about Amazon and were searching for her whereabouts.
14:08Just then, the car in which the bomb was planted returns, so Tobei disguises himself as a black gun truck and enters the hideout.
14:20The Black Gun Carriers enter Emperor Zero's room and tell him that the bomb has been planted and will detonate in 30 minutes.
14:30And right in front of them was an Amazon chained in iron and about to be executed.
14:36Emperor Zero shows off Gaga's bracelet, which he already has in his hand, and talks about the super energy that will be created when both bracelets are together, and tries to steal Amazon's Gigi bracelet.
14:51At that moment, Gaga's bracelet falls off her hand and combines with Amazon's Gigi bracelet.
14:58In front of the surprised Emperor Zero, Amazon transforms into a Rider.
15:03Emperor Zero again launches a Beam attack from his spear, but it no longer works on Amazon, who now has two bracelets, or super energy, in his hands.
15:14Amazon, disguised as Kurojusha, asks them to turn off the dimensional detonator of a bomb in Shinjuku.
15:24Then I head to the control room to try to destroy the bomb's detonation switch.
15:31Amazon fights Emperor Zero in the command room, finding the floor too narrow. He uses his Amputation technique to cut off Emperor Zero's right arm, and when he corners him, Emperor Zero falls into a hidden security trap set up in the hideout and is impaled to death.
15:53Meanwhile, when Tobei and the others arrive in Shinjuku, they are unable to remove the dimensional detonator, and just when it seems all is lost, Amazon enters the control room and destroys the detonation switch, which stops the dimensional detonator.
16:10The Amazon is relieved, but then a figure dressed in white, his face completely hidden, appears behind her and claims to be the all-powerful ruler of the Galandar Empire.
16:21However, when they remove his clothes, Emperor Zero, who was supposed to be dead and impaled, appears and tells them that not only the Galandar Empire, but also Kedon, was under his control.
16:36It seemed like he was facing off against another foe, but he was stabbed with a spear, had both his arms cut off, and to top it off, his head was cut off with a super severed leg, and he was easily defeated.
16:48The scene then shifts to the port, where Tomai and the Okamura brothers see them off, and the program ends with Amazon and Yamamoto Daisuke returning by boat to their hometown, the Brazilian Amazon.
17:05Now, let's take a look at the Screen Rider, Amazon, in action.
17:12Cutting through the ocean, Amazon, dada-dadda, crashing through the mountains, Amazon, dada-dadda,
17:34Amazon, dada-da-da, kicking blood like a jaguar, run dada-da-da, fight dada-da-da
17:45You are the only person in the world who knows the evil of Geddon.
