Let's put it this way, Kamen Rider Terra is this year's April Fool's joke. Some of you already figured it out, while some, took a while to figure it. Anyway, here's the breakdown on how the joke was made.
A few weeks ago, Garage Hero's Bueno sent me a private message on Facebook with a suit from Mamoru Heroes asking if we should make a prank based on the suit. The suit looks cool but it has a problem, it doesn't have a gimmicky belt. So he added the belt from China's Armor Hero Captor series. He then showed me the belts of the series, since they got this tube things as part of their transformation, they look like believable Full Bottles, thus making this fake Kamen Rider a good movie-only Kamen Rider.
Now for the back story, I wrote all of it. Bueno had some input (he gave the Rider name and the name of his forms), but for the most part, I wrote the back story for this character. Finally, to tie it all up, the clues to those who still haven't figure it out that it is an April Fool's joke. This is where the belt noises comes in, I wanted to have a belt sound effect that that screams, "Hey kids! This is an April Fool's Joke!" This is when Bueno gave me this line, "Baka-tare! Saba Jane-e!"

This line is a reference from Choukou Senshi Changéríon, a show that starred Takashi Hagino, best known to most fans as Kamen Rider Ryuki's Takeshi Asakura/Kamen Rider Ouja and was written by infamous Kamen Rider writer Toshiki Inoue. The show was pretty much Heisei Kamen Rider before Heisei Kamen Rider existed.
Anyway, "Baka-tare! Saba Jane-e!" or "Not a mackerel!" was a line from one of the episodes that gained quite a memetic status similar to the Kamen Rider Blade ONDUL memes. Heck, said joke was referenced in the Kamen Rider Brave special! Because only a few people might have heard of said joke, we decided that it's the perfect clue. So yeah, that's basically the breakdown of this year's April Fool's Joke.
Now for some real news. Changéríon was fully subbed by Big Nova Subs since December, you can watch the entirety of Armor Hero Captor on YouTube, and lastly, Toei's Super Sentai Villains was the April Fool's Joke, but not past villains appearing in Uchu Sentai Kyuranger vs. Space Squad. Also, Kamen Rider Kuuga is the best Heisei Kamen Rider series, people should watch more tokusatsu outside of what Toei is producing every year, and finally, many people should give Ultraman a chance.
Sieg Zeon!
