For anime and model kit fans, the greatest joy isn’t always snagging a rare limited edition item, but having a partner who truly understands and shares their passion. Recently, a sweet love story shared on Threads proved this, earning admiration and envy from Kamen Rider fans everywhere.
A Secret Plan for 520 and the Quest for 13 Treasures
The story began on May 20, known as 520 Day in Taiwan, a day for confessing love. On this day, the girl received a gift worth 30,000 Taiwanese dollars (over 25 million VND) from her boyfriend. Moved by his thoughtfulness, she decided to plan a surprise to return the favor.
While her boyfriend was away on a business trip abroad, she quietly observed and memorized the exact names and serial numbers of 13 Kamen Rider figures he had long wished for but never owned. She dedicated a lot of time and effort searching through fan groups to complete the collection.
By a lucky coincidence, all 13 figures arrived safely on the very day her boyfriend returned home. The surprise was a complete success. Excited, she shared a photo of her haul on Threads, instantly attracting tens of thousands of views and massive engagement.
From a Sweet Post to a Massive Model Showcase
The post quickly sparked lively discussions on social media. What started as a sweet love story soon turned into a huge gathering of otaku fans in the comments.
Thousands of fans flooded the post to express their admiration. Instead of just congratulating the couple, hardcore fans began sharing photos of their transformation belts, display cases packed with figures, and priceless collections they had built over years. The comment section became a vibrant cultural exchange among fellow enthusiasts.
The True Value Lies in Understanding
What touched netizens the most wasn’t the material worth of the 13 Kamen Rider figures. Many openly shared that the real treasure was the girl’s willingness to step into her boyfriend’s world, remember every tiny detail, and patiently hunt down each item.
“The value of this gift goes far beyond the price tag because it carries deep respect and love,” commented one user.
For pop culture fans, the biggest dream is often simply finding a partner who doesn’t judge or nag about their hobbies but supports and shares them.
A funny and adorable twist followed. Inspired by the girl’s thoughtfulness, passionate Kamen Rider fans in Taiwan spontaneously formed a group called the “Rider Wives Protection Alliance.”
They humorously sent a playful warning from afar to the lucky boyfriend. Members joked that having such a caring girlfriend is a great blessing. If he ever mistreats her or makes her sad, the entire Kamen Rider community will unite and unleash the classic Rider Kick to seek justice for her.
