032 – Bearhug It Out (Kamen Rider Eps. 46-47)

This week’s episode of Henshin Men is brought to you by…snow and hugs. (At least it’s not mind control, am I right?) Nathan and Travis discuss the coldest episodes of Kamen Rider (1971) yet. In the first, Team Rider goes on (another!?) vacation to a ski lodge that, predictably, gets ruined by Shocker’s kaijin, Bearkonger. Hayato injures his arm and isn’t able to transform—for five seconds. Then he becomes the “Kamen Snowmobiler” for a chase that looks straight out of In Her Majesty’s Secret Service. In the next episode, Travis continues to ship Taki and Hayato (“Takiato”) because KR2 has to save him and Goro—with a warm hug. Yep.
