Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider [Season 1 Episode 14]

Title: Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider Episode 14: A Wild (and Shirtless) Return to Heroics💥

If you thought Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider couldn’t get weirder, Episode 14 just laughed and cranked the absurdity to 11. Let’s cut to the chase: Futaba’s shirtless escape from Spider Man (yes, that Spider Man—sort of) is the chaotic highlight no one saw coming… but honestly, why would we expect anything less from this show?

First off, let’s address the big (literally) news: Futaba’s heroic dive off a building in her underwear. As one fan put it, “Futaba’s generous rack was indeed unexpected,” but let’s be real—the bigger surprise was her surviving the Spider Monster’s attack at all. Rocking her Tiger Master mask, she underestimated Shocker’s goons hard, and now she’s got the battle scars (and a newfound respect for danger) to prove it. Cue her sprinting to Mitsuba and Yukarisu’s place, panicking about Shockers being actual monsters—not just her brothers’ weird cosplay hobby. Mitsuba, a former Shocker fighter, is shook, and Yukarisu? Probably just wondering if this counts as “method acting” for her idol career.

Then there’s the Spider Man vs. Bat Man showdown. These two Shocker baddies couldn’t be more opposite: one’s all about subtlety and “quality conversions,” the other’s loud, flashy, and obsessed with quantity. Their clash isn’t just physical—it’s a debate over how to ruin humanity, and honestly? It’s low-key hilarious. The Bat rants about “spreading chaos,” while the Spider smirks and says, “Why rush when you can seduce them first?” (Spoiler: The Spider’s got a thing for idols. More on that later.)

Now, let’s talk about the elephant in the room: the OP and ED staying the same for the second cour. Half the fanbase cheered (“If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!”) and the other half sighed (“I was hoping for a new bop”). But let’s be real—those tracks slap. The OP’s guitar riffs and the ED’s catchy chorus are basically the show’s heartbeat at this point. Why mess with perfection?

And can we please discuss Kumoda and the “obese idol waifu”? Sena, the spider monster, has a weirdly wholesome crush on this plus-size idol, and fans are losing it. One user joked, “Kumoda will get to learn a lot about humans from his new obese idol waifu!” while another predicted a face-turn: “She’ll help Man Spider fall for humans instead of eating them.” Either way, this odd-couple subplot is the chaotic charm we tune in for.

Episode 14 isn’t just about fights and fan service—it’s about growing up. Futaba finally stops dismissing her brothers’ “childish” Kamen Rider dreams because she’s seen the monsters firsthand. The show’s tagline says it best: “When the time is yours, the future is waiting, The person you become, and the people you’re creating.” For Futaba, that future means ditching the skepticism and grabbing a mask (and maybe a shirt next time).

Is this episode weird? Duh. Is it the most fun you’ll have watching anime this week? Abso-freaking-lutely. As one fan summed it up: “We are so back!” Whether you’re here for the over-the-top action, the chaotic character dynamics, or just to see how many times “Shocker” gets yelled in 24 minutes, Episode 14 delivers.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to rewatch Futaba’s shirtless escape scene. For… research. Yeah, research. 🕷️🦇

Final Verdict: 8/10. Weird, wild, and weirdly heartfelt—this is Tojima at its best. Just don’t watch it with your parents in the room. Trust me.

P.S. Still waiting on that new OP, but I’ll survive. Barely. 😉
