SHFiguarts Masked Rider Kenzan Sarutobi Ninja Den Review

Sarutobi Ninjaden (猿飛忍者伝 lit. "Sarutobi Ninja Legend") is Kenzan's Sarutobi Sasuke-based primary form accessed by using the Sarutobi Ninjaden Wonder Ride Book in the Fuusouken Hayate.

In this form, Kenzan has lower kicking and punching power than most of the riders, but makes it up with his highest running speed and jumping height when compared to others. After Desast demise, he would later use Mumeiken Kyomu as a secondary weapon.

Head

It features a shuriken-shaped visor and a decoration that imitates the wind twin sword Midori style. Unlike other riders, there is no forehead blade. The design is asymmetrical and quite complicated, but the painting etc. is finished with an accurate and precise appearance.

Body

This time as well, the new modeling faithfully reproduces the slimmer and smaller body shape and long muffler than other riders. Characterized by a light body shape with thin armor like a ninja.

The irregular yellow pattern was also reproduced without any discomfort. The belt is the same Sword of Logos buckle as Buster. Holders on the left and right sides of the waist. However, there was no gimmick to mount the sword this time.

Arms and Legs

This area is also a little slender. It is a rare design without shoulder armor, but the form is natural and the painting of each armor is also beautiful. The muffler is made of soft material and the base is movable.

Option set and Accessories

Fuusouken Hayate is also a precise reproduction of the complicated blade design. It is also possible to reproduce the dual wield mode by separating it. The details of the hidden part are also firmly modeled at the time of one sword. Shuriken mode can also be reproduced. Desast Alter Ride Book (closed) is also included.

Slender and small in size, it looks like a female rider. The difference in physique is remarkable when placed side by side with a heavy buster.

Movability and Articulation

The structure of the joints is the same as other Saber systems, but it is slender and has less interference, so overall mobility has increased. Also, since there is no shoulder armor, it was easier to move around the shoulders than usual.

There is no problem with kneeling. In the play, the waist is bent quite deeply, so it was difficult to completely reproduce this. Switching between each mode was easy because you only need to change the sword.

Use the explosion effect to do it. A ninja-like two-fingered wrist is also included. The impression that the sword sword was conspicuous next to the protagonist by rewinding the part that was swaying in the middle stage at once at the end. I'd like to line up the Desast, but lately there aren't any monsters, so it might be tough.

Summary

This is the review of SHFiguarts Kamen Rider Kenzan Sarutobi Ninja Den. The slender and petite body shape, unique body pattern, long muffler, etc. are reproduced as the image in the play, and the complicated head is precisely shaped and finished very cool.

Because it is slender, it can move better than other Sabers as a whole, it is easier to move than usual because there is no shoulder armor, and the gimmick of the weapon is also solid, so it was perfect in terms of play.
