What We Think

Kamen Rider Black Sun cranks the woke dial high with a blend of revisionist storytelling and relentless ideological messaging. Classic fans may find it more of a modern lecture than a hero’s tale.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Kamen Rider Black Sun remakes the classic with heavy-handed allegory about marginalized groups, often putting identity themes over character depth. Several roles seem written or cast primarily for representation rather than coherence with the original story, leading to moments that feel more like statements than storytelling.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Masculinity and traditional authority figures are frequently undermined, with the classic hero motif swapped for broader commentary on oppression and inclusion. The show also reinterprets original themes to fit a more modern ideological narrative, sometimes at the expense of its roots.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Hyper Woke

What is this?

Dissenting voices are mostly strawmen or outright villains, and the only acceptable worldview in the show aligns closely with progressive modern values. There's little space for nuance or genuine debate, making things feel ideologically one-note.
