So a funny thing happened the other day. See, Kamen Rider Build started airing on September 3rd, and -- as a fan of the franchise for a good four years now -- I’ve been following its progress and details whenever I can. I haven’t seen the first episode yet, mind you, but I’ve seen clips and read up on details. One point in particularcrossed my path: apparently, Build’s special moves (some of them at least) are called “Boltech Finish” and “Boltech Break”. Seem familiar? Well, depending on how you hear the sounds and read the katakana used to craft them, it can be interpreted as a B or a V. In other words? If you go by what TV Tropes has on the series, it’s actually a “Voltech Finish” and a “VoltechBreak”.
To quote the famed nihilist philosopher Homer Simpson: “HE’S NAMED LIKE MY NAME!”
Logic would suggest that it’s just a happy coincidence (because incidentally, Voltech has also showed up in move names in Guilty Gear Xrd and Under Night In-Birth). Of course, better logic would suggest that, because of my enduring loyalty and constant efforts as the unofficial herald of The Church of Rider Kicks, the creators from on high paid tribute to me, my humble and most undeserved self, in the best way possible. So yeah, I'm basically a Kamen Rider now. Just give me a belt, a mask, and a motorcycle, and I’m all set.

…Okay, let’s talk about anime for a bit.
