YMMV / Kamen Rider 555: Paradise Lost

Go To

  • Complete Monster: Leo/Kamen Rider Psyga, the Lion Orphnoch from this alternate continuity and its prequel Lost World, is a Sociopathic Soldier placed under supervision of Murakami who is feared by humans and Orphnoch alike. A foreign who arrived in Japan to help with Smart Brain's cause, Leo was given the Psyga Gear after having found an extremely injured Murakami and demanding an Emperor Belt for himself, or else he would leave him to die. Leo joined Smart Brain's paramilitary solely to kill humans and have a chance to fight with other Orphnoch, leading the Riotroopers in the genocidal campaign against the human population. Introduced murdering three members of his own race with no hesitation, Leo participates in attacks against the Human Liberation Army at their sanctuary, personally killing Kusaka and leaving several civilians dead or injured, later taking the opportunity to bomb the place. Shortly after kidnapping Mari, Leo tried to stop Takumi from saving her, intending on having her executed on live television.
  • Memetic Mutation: Leo's perfect North American English, particularly right before he becomes Psyga, due to how jarring it is to hear in an almost entirely Japanese franchise:
    "Good to see you guys! Taking care of all of you... is also part of my job."
  • Narm: Leo/Psyga speaking English - not Gratuitous English, mind you, fluent Englishnote  - can come off as this for some. As noted on the main page, it's allegedly due to how badly his actor spoke Japanese.
  • Signature Scene: The Blaster Rider Kick done on Orga's sword is so memorable that the resulting clash, an energy disk that encompasses the entire coliseum, makes its way onto nearly every single iteration of Faiz's Blaster Rider Kicks.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Masato Kusaka doesn't do much in the film, even though he could have easily filled the role that new character Mizuhara does (distrusting Orphnochs, opposing Takumi's return as Faiz).
