Ectophase Activate!Masked Rider is an American television series produced by Saban Entertainment that aired from 1995 through 1996. In much the same way as Power Rangers with Super Sentai, this show was adapted from the ninth Kamen Rider series Kamen Rider BLACK RX. Like Power Rangers series that have recontextualized the source footage from their original plots, Masked Rider recontextualizes Black RX's footage by using it to fit a Sitcom type show with a more... traditional Sci-Fi premise.The plot concerned a young alien prince named Dex, sent from a distant planet Edenoi to fight against his wicked uncle Count Dregon and his Insectovores. Having already rendered Edenoi near-uninhabitable, Dregon has turned his attention to Earth.Dex arrives in a town named Leawood and is adopted by a multiracial American family, dad Hal (white), mom Barbara (East Asian), sister Molly (white) and brother Albee (black). Dex also brought along his pet bipedal duck/bear creature named Ferbus.Dex was introduced in a three-part episode in the beginning of the third season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, but the show itself had no references to that series. Whilst the pilot left Edenoi with somewhat of a Downer Ending by the end of the third part, the changes in the series ignored this ending. If nothing else, Dex's guest appearance in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was the closest thing to a Rider/Sentai crossover until the 2009 Decade/Shinkenger team-up.note The 1979 JAKQ vs. Gorenger movie featured cameos by Amazon and V3 in the form of photographs, but the actual characters themselves are never involved in the story.Until 2009's Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, it was the only American adaptation of Kamen Rider. Still, the show does have a cult fandom and introduced many to the Kamen Rider franchise. Some of the background music was later used in Saban's dub of Digimon Adventure.It is not to be confused with the lost silent western film serial 1919 The Masked Rider.

I Don't Know Mortal Kombat: Averted. Dex's superhuman reflexes make him a master at the (likely less violent) in-universe expy of Mortal Kombat. He eventually quits it because he's too good at it, considering his skills cheating. Dex is so good at video games, the overload of WIN can break the TV! Wait...

Adapted Out
 Masked Rider / int_33d5b7f2
comment
Adapted Out: The comic book adaptation by Marvel Comics leaves out Doubleface. The show itself leaves out Dasmader, likely because his part in RX wouldn’t make sense with Masked Rider’s re-contextualisation.

Sword Beam
 Masked Rider / int_348c1707
comment
Sword Beam: This is Dex' finisher when using the Electro Saber. In fact, he is never seen using it as a melee weapon at all. This is a result of Bowdlerization, as the title character of Black RX finished his opponents by stabbing them rather violently. Naturally, the Moral Guardians did not approve, fearing children would imitate this, so they forced the showrunners to make the Masked Rider shoot his enemies to death...with a sword.

Strictly Formula: As with Power Rangers, the show mostly focuses on Dex and his family (or friends) finding a new experience, Count Dregon taking advantage of it, launching an Insectivore and Dex resolving everything as both himself and as his super hero alter ego.

Once Dex/Masked Rider destroys it, Count Dregon admits that recycling can be most useful at saving money/energy...but notes that all of the materials needed to be sorted and labeled first, and so sends Cyclopter to do it.

Being Good Sucks: In the Christmas Episode, Dex hopes to spend the holiday with Lexian, but the old man can't.

A little Santa magic, though, makes the needed difference.

 Masked Rider / int_7453bc5b

Spared by the Adaptation Due to the series ending without the resolution of Black RX, all the recurring villains, from Count Dregon himself to Nefaria, Cyclopter, Doubleface, Gork and Fact are spared the fates of their counterparts who all ended up dead. Dregon especially so since what would have been his One-Winged Angel form was adapted into a seperate character as just another Monster of the Week. Hal and Barbara Stewart are spared the shocking deaths of Shunkichi and Utako Sahara at the hands of Jark Midler (Dregonator).

Frankenslation: While primarily based on Kamen Rider BLACK RX, six of the show's forty episodes included footage from the Kamen Rider films Kamen Rider ZO and Kamen Rider J, adapting all but one villain (Garai/Cobra Man of Kamen Rider J) from the two movies as Monsters Of The Week. ZO's footage was used in Escape From Edenoi parts 1 and 2 (with separate fight scenes for Doras and later a monster from Black RX) and Cat-Atomic (which again had two major fight scenes, one with the minor monster Koumori Man and one with a monster from Black RX). J's footage was used in Saturday Morning Invasion (with Fog Mother as Ultivore) and Ectophase Albee (minor monster Agito/Lizard Man). Footage from both movies was used in Stranger From the North, which began by using J's minor monster Zu/Bee Woman as Hydrasect and switching to ZO's monster Kumo Woman as her more powerful form Arachnida.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: The Masked Rider Warriors (the show's counterpart to Kotaro's Rider predecessors in RX) had their names accidentally switched during the roll call due to an inconsistency between how the Japanese footage was edited and how it was actually dubbed.note Specifically, the Riders' names were mentioned in the same order they were in the Japanese show, with Rider 1 and Rider 2 being renamed "Warrior Leader" and "Warrior Commander" respectively, but Rider 2 and Riderman were edited out of the actual footage. The results are hilarious, with the part where Sky Rider proclaims himself to be "Amazon" becoming a popular meme. Yet strangely, not only does Kamen Rider ZX keep his name, but it's pronounced correctlynote his name is actually "Z-Cross", not "ZX".

comment
Tyrant Takes the Helm: As far as Dex's history of Edenoi is concerned, Count Dregon's reign proved to be disastrous due to his apathy and he was apparently too proud to admit that is not much of a good king compared to his own father.

Compressed Adaptation: A downplayed example. Masked Rider was given 40 episodes to Black RX's 47, including the incorporation of elements from unrelated films ZO and J.

I Have No Nephew!: Justified. It’s because of their relationship that Count Dregon and Dex rarely acknowledge each other as family members.

Show Within a Show: An episode of Power Rangers Time Force shows Masked Rider as this. Best to not think about this. A few conversations about the episode with a Promoted Fanboy chalks up the Masked Rider television series to be something Dex created when the battles with Dregon were over and he settled on Earth.note Though most post-Zordon Era series tend to be more self-contained.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome
 Masked Rider / int_c33ba0a8
comment
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Ferrian and Zarius, two of Dax's Edenite friends, are never seen again after the first episode. Lexian is shown to guide Dax on occasion and Donais returns twice to deliver power-ups to his friend, but Ferrian and Zarius are just plain gone. Bobby Brigmore, a male student who Patsy is interested in but seemingly has eyes for Molly, only appears in the opening two-parter and is never mentioned afterward.

Monster of the Week: Here it's somewhat justified in that Count Dregon only sends one monster at a time: sending them all is actually suggested in the premiere, but he says that all those monsters could not be controlled at once.

No Ending: Much like with some of the other Saban adaptations, the series never had a proper conclusion, as it was canceled rather abruptly - in fact, if one was to watch episode 40 without knowing it's the last episode, they'd be forgiven for thinking it's an episode from somewhere in the middle of the series.

Due to the series ending without the resolution of Black RX, all the recurring villains, from Count Dregon himself to Nefaria, Cyclopter, Doubleface, Gork and Fact are spared the fates of their counterparts who all ended up dead. Dregon especially so since what would have been his One-Winged Angel form was adapted into a seperate character as just another Monster of the Week.
