All spoilers for Kamen Rider BLACK are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Kamen Rider BLACK RX is the ninth TV series in the Kamen Rider franchise and, unusually for the series, a direct sequel to the previous series, Kamen Rider BLACK. It was broadcasted from 1988 to 1989 and was the last TV series aired during the Showa era before the transition to stand-alone movies throughout the 90s.After being practically left alone at the end of BLACK, Kotaro Minami has finally gotten on the road to a normal life. He's been adopted by the Sahara family and has a steady job as a helicopter pilot.However, a new threat to the peace of Earth comes in the form of the Crisis Empire, which seeks Earth as their new invasion target. Acknowledging Kamen Rider BLACK as a threat, they capture Kotaro while preventing his transformation and attempt to goad him into joining the Empire. Kotaro refuses, and as a result he has his King Stone destroyed and gets thrown off to space.The sun's radiation, however, resurrected Kotaro's Kingstone and split it into two. Thus, Kamen Rider BLACK evolved into Kamen Rider BLACK RX. It also resurrects the destroyed Battle Hopper, upgrading it into Acrobatter. Now, Kotaro must use his new powers to defend Earth from the Crisis Empire, consisting of General Jark, Colonel Maribaron, Naval Commander Bosgan, and Captains Gatenzone and Gedorian.The Lighter and Softer tone of the show clashed horribly with the Darker and Edgier Kamen Rider BLACK, and fans did not approve. However, it's quite wrong to label it a Franchise Killer, as the series had pretty good ratings (it performed better than Kidou Keiji Jiban, the Metal Heroes series that aired during the same season, and actually scored a slightly higher series average than BLACKnote To elaborate, BLACK scored a 9.2% series average, while BLACK RX scored a 9.3% series average.). It's also notable as the first Kamen Rider series to introduce the concept of form changes, which became a staple of the Heisei era. BLACK RX still remains popular amongst the older franchise, and like its predecessor, it enjoys massive popularity in the overseas market.Kamen Rider BLACK RX received a 3D film tie-in, Kamen Rider Run All Over The World, that was screened at special events.This show was adapted by Saban Entertainment (the guys behind Power Rangers) into Masked Rider.Discotek Media released a Blu-ray of the show with English subtitles for the United States on August 29, 2023.It was the last Kamen Rider TV series Shotaro Ishinomori was involved in before his death in 1998, two years before the premiere of the franchise's next installment, Kamen Rider Kuuga. | |

Bittersweet Ending: As much as the earlier Lighter and Softer tone, the shows ends in this note, though less so than Black. Crisis Empire has been destroyed by Kotaro and the past Riders. However, in process, the Sahara parents were Killed Off for Real, orphaning their children. Still, Kotaro has avenged their deaths and made sure they can rest in peace, and happily says his goodbyes to his friends before going on to his next adventure. | |

Dolled-Up Installment: Sort of. RX was originally planned as a stand-alone show starring a new protagonist, but Toei decided to keep Tetsuo Kurata for another year due to his popularity and retooled the show at the last minute into a continuation of Black. Outside Shadow Moon's brief guest appearance, RX barely acknowledges the events of the original Black. | |

| Kamen Rider BLACK RX / int_8b606a51 | comment |
There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Variation. RX was the first Rider to use both feet for his Rider Kick. Every Rider before him only used one foot in their kicks - including Kotaro himself in his previous suit. And note that his RX Kick wasn't even the Finishing Move - it was mostly used to weaken foes before RX stabs them with the Revolcane. Meaning that, in a series considered Lighter and Softer, they take a double-powered Rider Kick and more to go down for good. A Fridge Brilliance case of Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass. | |

Same Character, But Different: Kotaro's a lot spacier and more happy-go-lucky since last time we saw him. It helps that the Sahara family doesn't induce the same guilt or tension Kotaro had during the last battle with Nobuhiko/Shadow Moon (with Kyoko being his sister, and Katsumi being his girlfriend), and they really took good care of Kotaro, allowing him to show more of his more cheerful/joking side that he occasionally showed to Kyoko and Katsumi. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Odds are, Black would've been outclassed by the Crisis Empire, but the villains decided to throw the Child of the Sun into space where he'd be directly exposed to sunlight, causing him to evolve into the much stronger Black RX. Similarly, it’s likely that RX wouldn’t have had his Mid-Season Upgrade if they hadn’t chosen one of the Sahara children as their Replacement Goldfish. | |

| Kamen Rider BLACK RX / int_b9616deb | comment |
Transformation Is a Free Action: Subverted; Kotaro is shown a few times to be able to change forms and back in less than a second, so presumably all the posing and speeches is just for show. Also subverted in a different way in the first episode, as the Skull-ma use a beam to bind Kotaro's arms together just as he's about to do his henshin pose into Kamen Rider Black. Yes, despite not being wind or electric powered like his predecessors, Kotaro's inability to use his arms prevents him from transforming. | |

The Hero Doesn't Kill the Villainess: Maribaron, the sole female antagonist, gets vaporized by Emperor Crisis for questioning his orders. Every other Golgom member, who are all males, gets killed by Kotaro. | |

Chef of Iron | |
| Kamen Rider BLACK RX / int_bcdfbe4a | comment |
Chef of Iron: As noted on the Black page, star Tetsuo Kurata is a heck of a steak chef (with his own restaurant) and once battled the star of Kamen Rider Blade, Takayuki Tsubaki, on a cooking show - and curb-stomped him. | |

Informed Attribute: A great many monsters are described as the "best" of their respective units, and then quickly meet their doom on the end of the Revolcane. | |

Taking You with Me: Maribaron attempts to do this in the final episode when she was fatally wounded by The Crisis Emporer. She failed. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Kamen Rider BLACK RX / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Meaning that, in a series considered Lighter and Softer, they take a double-powered Rider Kick and more to go down for good. A Fridge Brilliance case of Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass. | |

Cerebus Syndrome | |
| Kamen Rider BLACK RX / int_cfdb9e17 | comment |
Cerebus Syndrome: While it's lighter in tone than Black, it has three cases of this: First during a Story Arc where Black RX gets two alternate forms via Traumatic Superpower Awakening, then when Shadow Moon shows up, and in the final arc, when General Jark goes One-Winged Angel and kills the Sahara parents. | |

Fake Shemp | |
| Kamen Rider BLACK RX / int_d51263b9 | comment |
Fake Shemp: When Kotaro cradles Nobuhiko's dead body after Shadow Moon dies, it's obvious that the producers didn't get a hold of the original actor who played Nobuhiko, as someone else is used for the shot. High Priest Darom is voiced by a different actor during his appearance in The Movie. None of the actors for the first ten Kamen Riders reprised their roles when they return in the later episodes. Thus, they are all voiced by substitute voice actors and remain Faceless. | |

Technicolor Death: All over the place, but special mention goes to General Jark, who shoots lighting and fire everywhere, explodes into a cloud of flames, and then the cloud of flames explodes. | |

Multiform Balance | |
| Kamen Rider BLACK RX / int_eb7b1a84 | comment |
Multiform Balance: Black RX was the first Kamen Rider to be a Swiss-Army Hero, which would become a series staple. His selection of forms was rather simple compared to future Riders: his normal form was rather balanced, stat-wise, and he could switch to the stronger-but-slower Roborider, or the faster-but-weaker Biorider. | |

Crossover | |

Crossover: RX teams up with his past self (along with Robo and Biorider) in the short movie Running Around the World. He also teams up with all the other past Riders (from Kamen Rider I through ZX) in the final episodes of the series. | |

Defied Trope: Orcus on His Throne. Jak and his captains may be content to simply send a monster a week at Kotaro, but eventually Emperor Crisis gets tired of this and forces them to take a more hands-on approach. | |
