Kisekae Insights #50: Kamen Rider Zi-O Part 8 - Background

After a month of non-stop typing in preparation, we have finally reached the end of this Kamen Rider Zi-O miniseries. In this instalment, not only will I be talking about the background to this series, I’ll also talk a little bit about the overarching Final Kamen Rider Chronicle along with the three Chronicle series broadcast from 2019 to 2021. At the end, there will be a song list of music featured in all three works.

Background to Zi-O and The Final Kamen Rider Chronicle

Kamen Rider Zi-O was created as part of The Final Kamen Rider Chronicle, an trilogy of Rider series alongside Ex-Aid and Build created in lieu of a fifth series for Three Kingdoms and Soulbound.

Each series was allocated 40 episodes of 45 minutes in length, making it the equivalent to 80 episodes in half-hour timeslots. This was the amount of time I gave the creators of the other two series’ adaptations for which to adapt the entirety of the series content, including the crossover winter movies, the traditional summer movie, the post-series V-Cinemas, the Hyper Battle DVDs and other web/media specials. Naturally, you can imagine what the other two teams felt when I announced After Quartzer. To be fair, though, Ex-Aid and Build haven’t had any other self-contained post-series specials and the Decade/Zi-O miniseries came out in 2021.

The Final Kamen Rider Chronicle was announced in June 2019 for broadcast in July 2020. Initially, it was delayed by a year due to the coronavirus lockdowns, but when the fourth lockdown hit, I decided to do away with the scheduling and let the creators release the series when they were ready. The fact that I intended this trilogy to be broadcast 5 times a week and I had started working full-time did not help things, as these delays were made worse by Soulbound Series 4 not being completed at the time.

One of the ideas I gave for Kamen Rider Build was multiple Build clones that mainly used the Best Matches of other territories. I don’t think I had other ideas for Ex-Aid though. Hey, remember that rumour where Ex-Aid’s Riders would be based on file extensions?

I started work on Zi-O in February 2022 after finishing Soulbound Series 4. I finished the main series in August, then took a brief break before completing After Quartzer from September to November. On a good day, I could work on three episodes, finishing off the first, completing a second and starting work on a third. When I got to the fourth part, that was a difficult schedule to keep due to the episodes largely being original. In fact, original episodes would always take longer to write. The episode that took me the longest to write was episode 33 at 18 days, as it was the start of a new status quo with the Quartzer trio. The special that took me the longest to write was Rainbow Rider Revolution at 38 days.

As I watched Zi-O during its original run, I knew that I wanted to adapt it eventually, being “Decade 2.0” as people called it. Like all non-Doctor Who series in my personal project, Zi-O is another egofest. In fact, it’s an egofest on a brand new level as I played Ohma Zi-O, Swartz and Hiroki Ichigo along with a bunch of Riders and characters. My twin brother played Sougo and the other Sougo, Takeru and Hikaru Azuma, but let’s face it, you might as well say that I played them. I originally played Parker Zhou and Hiroki’s prototypes before I decided to outsource them for the Moushouden Series; given how I ended up playing multiple characters again, fat lot of good that was.

Given that the series was produced by Shinichirō Shirakura and written by Kento Shimoyama, it had flaws that people had already seen in previous works. As such, my goal with the adaptation was to improve on them to the best of my ability, though I’m unable to guarantee that I managed to catch all of them or improve them sufficiently.

One thing I improved on in the first part was how the Another Riders worked and how their creation affected time. The erasure of the Riders’ history caused by the Another Riders being created early in their counterpart Riders’ timelines was seen as disrespectful and as such, this was improved on by removing the history erasure element and having the events of Zi-O be a continuation of the Legend Riders’ timelines. I also incorporated the W and Kuuga tributes into the main series to show Sougo’s acquisition of their Ridewatches, in a two-parter adapting Heisei Generations Forever.

The second part contained original episodes consisting of an adaptation of Kamen Rider Shinobi, a Ryuki tribute that also serves as a prequel to Sougo acquiring Zi-O II and a totally original episode featuring the other Sougo and Parker Zhou. The third part introduced Quartzer into the series as a new villain group, added an Amazons tribute, extended the Hibiki tribute to include a Magica tribute and made Kamen Rider Ginga’s appearance a full episode with two original Riders.

The finale arc of the original Zi-O was something I definitely wanted to improve on, due to it going back to the merging worlds plot already used in Decade. As such, the final three episodes were adapted at the end of the third part and the fourth part was adapted from the final episodes of Kamen Rider Zero-One. Initially, I didn’t intend on adapting the Over Quartzer movie and the movie Riders because of Showa elements, but I ended up adapting it in the end.

Hiryuu Kakogawa also felt underused during his appearances in the series. As such, Hiryuu joined Quartzer for the fourth part as I made the unprecedented move to adapt Zi-O’s final stage show for plot elements. A Facebook group I was in run by the people behind Genm Corp fansubs and the Henshin Fever fanpage posted a subtitled version of Build’s final stage show in 2019, making me realise that there was an untapped market for fansubs. I think other fansubbers and groups have caught on to this because more tokusatsu stage shows have been subbed since then.

Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi and Sougo as Ohma Zi-O appeared to be rushed out for the finale of the original, so Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi was introduced at the end of the third part while Ohma Zi-O was made into the Ark-One of the series.

In preparation for this series, certain Kamen Riders and power-ups were introduced earlier, more specifically in Soulbound Series 4, as a build-up and foreshadowing to this series. Of note, the Decade Beltmorpher X and Diend Gunmorpher X were introduced as upgrades given to Hiroki and Kayley after making a deal with Ohma Zi-O. Kamen Rider Aqua was also introduced before his appearance in Zi-O, even though he ended up being used in an original arc with his counterpart in the original series being replaced by Akihito Hayasaka as Kamen Rider Woz the Next.

The main portion of my personal project had concluded in Soulbound Series 4; Zi-O is both a continuation of the story for the Kamen Riders and a side story for everyone else. The events of this series take place in a separate timeline to the main universe as the main characters of the series are parallel isotopes; individuals whose timelines have been splintered by them being displaced from their own timelines. By the end of the series, the parallel isotopes are erased with the destruction of the timeline, however new versions of the main characters are created in a new timeline as shown in the After Quartzer specials.

Chronicle Series

Following the conclusion of Doctor Who, three weekly Chronicle series were commissioned. The Chronicle series follows the premise of Ultraman Retsuden and other Chronicle series in that they are mostly recaps and reruns of previous episodes.

Doctor Who: The Equestria Chronicles is the first such series, broadcast from July to December 2019. The series takes place during the events of the eighth season and follows Storm Dasher as he teaches the Young Six about the adventures of Doctor Whooves, the Pony Doctor and himself. Some special guests join Dasher’s classes/lectures as well, human, pony or Time Lord alike.

Ultraman: The Equestria Chronicles was broadcast from July to December 2020. This series consists of 6 mini-arcs that can be separated into individual series, covering the adventures of Storm Dasher as Ultraman Ginga, Spike as Ultraman Victory, and Danny Williams as Ultraman X, the latter being an adaptation of the original series. In hindsight I probably should have fleshed it out into a proper series myself, but this was for the best since my work on Soulbound Series 4 would occupy me for two years.

The Zhuge Family Chronicles was broadcast from January to June 2021 in preparation for The Final Kamen Rider Chronicle. This series follows Jee Gun, Sunset Shimmer, Copper Plume, Rally Flag, Starlight Glimmer and Sierra Nightingale as they learn about Hiroki Ichigo and his family, the Zhuge family, and their adventures at the Strawberry Academy. Being inspired by Ultraman Chronicle: ZERO & GEED, this series carries the classroom setting through to the end whereas the original had to abort it towards the end due to the pandemic. The series culminates in a final exam for the six students, which they pass with flying colours.

And so we have reached the end of the Zi-O miniseries and with it, the fourth run of Kisekae Insights. We’ve gone through 20 instalments in 7 months, which is a little more than the first run’s pattern of 16 instalments in 6 months. I would have released the Zi-O miniseries over one month instead of two, but at this point I’m just buying time until the 1000th Post Special. I hope this makes up for the lackluster third run in 2022.

With My Little Pony, Gokaiger, Decade and Zi-O out of the way, all that’s really left for me to cover is Three Kingdoms and Soulbound (unless you want me to retread previous topics for content). Don’t expect the fifth run to come out until 2025; I’ve got enough on my plate at the moment with the upcoming Sea Princesses 20th Anniversary and Koei Warriors Retrospective.

If you’ve got any questions about anything in this series, feel free to contact me on Facebook or shoot me an ask or DM on Tumblr (anons disabled). Until the next run, I say.

Deep Insanity: The Lost Child, il nuovo trailer ci presenta il cast della serie animata

Il mondo dell’action horror sci-fi di Square Enix sbarcherà sulle tv giapponesi dal 13 ottobre.

“Deep Insanity: The Lost Child” torna a mostrarsi in un nuovo video promozionale, che ne fissa il debutto sulle tv giapponesi per il 13 ottobre, oltre ad anticiparne la sigla di testa dal titolo “Inochi no Tomoshibi”, cantata da Konomi Suzuki (Deca-Dence, Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-). 

Il franchise action horror sci-fi di Square Enix, del quale l’anime fa parte, è ambientato in un mondo invaso dalla misteriosa Sindrome di Randolph, che causa coma improvvisi. A quanto pare, l’origine della malattia è riconducibile ad un un massiccio regno sotterraneo scoperto al Polo Sud, ora conosciuto come Asylum. Pur di trovare una cura e raccogliere dati o preziose risorse finora sconosciute all’uomo, c’è chi si avventura all’interno del luogo, abitato da strane e pericolose creature.

Di seguito la prima locandina ufficiale della serie animata.

Il cast principale è composto da:

Daniel Kai Shigure: Hiro Shimono (Zenitsu Agatsuma in Demon Slayer)

Vera Rustamova: Ami Koshimizu (Ryuuko Matoi in Kill la Kill)

Leslie Blanc: Kousuke Toriumi (Guido Mista in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind)

Lawrence Larry Jackson: Yuuya Hirose (Yuuta Hibiki in SSSS.Gridman)

Reika Kobato: Ruriko Noguchi (Sally in BOFURI)

Sumire Motiki: Kaede Hondo (Maple in BOFURI)

EL-Cee: Takako Tanaka (Hina in Hinamatsuri)

L’anime è diretto da Shin Oonuma (BOFURI, L’Epopea del Cavaliere Ripetente) presso lo studio SILVER LINK (Non Non Biyori, My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!). La sceneggiatura è curata da Kento Shimoyama (Armed Girl’s Machiavellism, We Rent Tsukumogami) e il character design è ad opera di Kazuyuki Yamayoshi (Chaos;Child, The Misfit of Demon King Academy). Le musiche sono, invece, composte da Mirai Kodai Gakudan (Grimms Notes).

La storia della serie tv sarà ambientata a cavallo fra quella raccontata nel manga intitolato “Deep Insanity: Nirvana” e quella dell’imminente videogioco chiamato “Deep Insanity: Asylum”, che verrà lanciato su Steam e dispositivi mobili il 14 ottobre. Entrambe le opere seguono il punto di vista di personaggi diversi da quelli presenti nell’anime.

Il fumetto è scritto da Makoto Fukami (Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka) assieme a Norimitsu Kaihou (School-Live!) e illustrato da Etorouji Shiono (Übel Blatt). Lanciato sulle pagine delle rivista Big Gangan lo scorso gennaio, il manga vedrà pubblicati in Giappone i primi due volumetti il 25 settembre.

Could you give me a in depth on Junko Komura's writing since the current Toei staff has her as the main writer in Precure's newest season and what really shocked me was the sudden change in character for Nodoka.

-Take everything established previously. -Throw it out in favor of something petty and contrived that humiliates one cast member in favor of another at random, if not a rotation of such occurs. -Hope she gets reigned in by Naruhisa Arakawa again to correct-course before the nonsense irreparably screws over and damages the cast. -Remember that Naruhisa Arakawa is busy this year writing the Sentai Kirameiger (Honestly, the first Sentai I’ve enjoyed in years) -Crawl into ball. -Cry. Seriously, though; she’s bad at character dynamics and interaction, and development she DOES do can be circular (I.E. looping back on itself so it feels as if there is no progression) or in conflict of everything done previously with them, to the point of self-caused character assassination (Yamato in Zyuohger, The Lupinranger in Lupat).  The stories themselves and longer narrative arcs she attempts can be decent...but she fails at long-game establishment and Seeding OF them, so the ending can end up not being justified by everything before.  She is Far better as a secondary writer as--like other recent toei staff that got their chance at a head writer gig before completely bombing their solo projects or head writer gigs--She has good Ideas, but no real clue how to direct them without someone over her who has more experience guiding her in how to develop them. Granted, that might also be producers taking advantage of talent to inject themselves and their half-assed brainfarts poorly into a Narrative, but Bad-to-meh writers are consistent in their failures; and for Komura, the failure is always in Lacking characterization.  She’s not the WORST Writer currently attached to toei (that would be plagiarist and ‘can only write Gary stu’s as leading characters’ writer Kento Shimoyama), but it’s very hard to enjoy her work if you care about character, and the underlying and conflicting problems she has with depiction OF them.

Kento Shimoyama wrote Shinkalion at the same time he wrote Zi-O, and Shinkalion had extremely strong character writing,

so he used all his talent on shinkalion instead of zi-o

*I’m very sorry I made a mistake in the name of the film so I edited.

How did the film ‘Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever’ become ‘Den-O Film’? Sato Takeru’s thoughts were revealed.

22:19 December 27, 2018 My Natalie

To celebrate the release of the 20th anniversary film, ‘Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever’, ‘Den-O Night’ was held at Shinjuku Wald 9 in Tokyo on December 27 and Seki Toshihiko and Yusa Koji, the voice actors, Kobayashi Yasuko, the scenario writer, and Shirakura Shinichiro and Takebe Naomi, the producers, appeared on the stage. •CAUTION:This article includes spoilers.

Seki

In the film ‘Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever’, now showing, Sato Takeru, who played the lead in ‘Kamen Rider Den-O’, made a guest appearance. In addition, voice actors for Imagins, such as Seki Toshihiko, and Ishimaru Kenjiro as Owner also played in the film. In this event, after showing the film, five people who were involved in ‘Den-O’ appeared on the stage. Seki as Momotarosu said with a smile, ‘I hear that after eleven years since the TV series Den-O’ ended, its fans have grown into fathers and mothers and they are spreading ‘Den-O’ to their children. It made me surprised and happy. I think ‘Den-O’ will keep running.’

Yusa as Uratarosu referred to numerous spin-off works, saying, ‘Usually, Kamen Rider series change to the next drama year after year, but somehow ‘Den-O’ continued for three or four years ... When we appear on the stage like this, I can feel your relaxed atmosphere. It is very ‘Den-O’-like’.

Kobayashi Yasuko

Kobayashi was in charge of supervising the scenario for ‘Den-O’ part in ‘Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Final: Build & Ex-Aid with Legend Rider’. She wrote the scenario related to Den-O for the first time since Cho-Den-O Trilogy

series. ‘It has been really a long time after that, but once I got started, the lines emerged just like before’, she reflected.

When Yusa talked about the frequent improvisations of suit-actors, Shirakura revealed bts, ‘When I asked Takaiwa Seiji-san to play all the Den-O forms, he made a cryptic condition, saying ‘Hmm, please put Ogura Toshihiro-san in Ryutarosu’. I suspected they must be up to something as Momo and Ryu; they started to plan something as soon as they knew it’.

Shirakura Shinichiro

Asked why he featured Den-O in this film, Shirakura explained; ‘Den-O deals with ‘time’ just like ‘Kamen Rider Zi-O’, so we thought it would be impossible to absorb the factor of ‘Den-O’ unless we place it as a major part. It seems that once we introduced Den-O, the film was taken over. It turned out to be a Den-O film after a long interval since ‘Trilogy’ lol’.

Kobayashi and others also revealed the reason why Ryotaro, which Sato played, appeared as’U-Ryotaro’ possessed by Uratarosu. It was based on the idea of Sato himself; ‘I can play U-Ryotaro but if I played Ryotaro without Imagin at my age now, it would ruin people’s dreams. It is good that Ryotaro has grown up after ten years, but on the other hand, it means it will break their dreams’.

Yusa recollected and said, ‘Takeru-kun’s voice was calm. Ten years ago, we completely possessed Ryotaro’s personality, but now, as Ryotaro has grown up, I acted to blend, or a bit approach Takeru-kun.

Takebe Naomi

Seki said excitedly about the conversation between Ryotaro and Momotarosu, ‘In the final episode of the TV series, Yasuko-san wrote the line ‘Someday in the future’. It flashed back during the post-recording. That is really a memorable line, isn’t it? I wondered if you were a prophet!’

Seki also confessed that he had visited a theater to see the reaction of the audience on the day of the release because Sato’s appearance was not disclosed a bit until the premiere. The fact was revealed that, at first, even Shimoyama Kento, the scenario writer of this film, was not informed of Sato’s appearance. To hear that, the audience gasped in surprise.

Posters of the films shown in this event; Saraba Kamen Rider Den-O the Movie: Final Countdown director’s cut version, Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever, and Kamen Rider Den-O the Movie: I'm Born!

At the end of the event, comments from Den-O cast were read. Terasoma Masaki as Kintarosu said, ‘I wept over your hot heart!!’ and Suzumura Kenichi as Ryutarosu said, ‘I love Den-O, OK? Your answer doesn’t matter!!’ conveying their affection for their signature phrases.

Ishimaru sent a message, ‘Den-Liner will continue to run forever. Someday, somewhere, again ......

At the end of the talk part, Takebe said, ‘I think we could do a little bigger project (of Den-O), so I will whisper at Shirakura-san’s ear’.

Shirakura said, ‘When I saw Den-Liner this time, I felt how excited I was and that Den-Liner is not just a vehicle but it has a dream’.

Kobayashi said every time she heard the fans say, ’I loved Den-O very much!’, she felt a bit frustrated. She eagerly said, ‘I hope to be able to write something that exceeds this one’.

Yusa talked about the peculiarity of Den-O, ‘Not any of us Imagins intended to save the world in the least lol. But we love Den-O and the story was more peaceful and at home compared with other Riders’.

Seki showed his gratitude for the encounter with Den-O and said, ‘When it was on air, I was 45 years old. Looking back, it might have been a reward from god for my efforts I had made in this world till 45 years’.

<Ishimaru Jojiro’s comment>

•Frank impression in hearing about this offer:

I have always been prepared because I’ve had a feeling that Den-Liner would come to collect me.

•Receiving the offered to play in this film:

I cheered up, ‘OK, here it came!’

•The impression of the reunion and costarring with the familiar members:

Just like before, new ideas overflowed. We shook manly hands with each other and had a very dense and enjoyable time.

•Message to the fans:

Den-Liner will continue to run forever. Someday, somewhere, again ......

<Terasoma Masaki’s comment>

•Frank impression in hearing about this offer:

Great for you, Shirakura and Takebe producers! For the last in Heisei period!!

•The impression of the reunion and costarring with the familiar members:

Dir. Yamaguchi was an assistant director as the TV series but now he performed an important duty of closing Heisei Kamen Riders. I can’t help feeling happy as one of the co-workers who were involved in making a film together.

The shooting site was filled with smiles, and it looked just like everyone came back to the hometown.

•Message to the fans:

Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for loving Den-O for a long time.

I wept over your hot heart!!

<Suzumura Kenichi’s comment>

•Frank impression in hearing about this offer:

I knew about Kamen Rider Zi-O, so I had been looking forward to the offer, wondering, ‘When will they call me?’ But I also thought, ‘Last time only me, out of four Tarosus, wasn’t invited ......’, so I’m happiest ever to be able to join lol.

•The impression of the reunion and costarring with the familiar members:

As for Den-O, somehow, I hadn’t felt nostalgic so much. I’d often seen four Tarosus at the shooting site, so there had been an indescribable sense of activeness in me. But this time, during the post-recording, the moment Sato Takeru-kun was shown on the monitor, I had goosebumps because it brought back memories of the post-recording in those days at once. I realized that definitely time has passed, and at the same time, I felt kind of proud. After eleven years, Den-O can be back again, which shows the work is really wonderful. And I felt that everyone would be surprised and pleased at his appearance. I felt a lump to my throat, re-realizing that I took part in such a great work.

I say in a loud voice again!

‘I love Den-O, OK? Your answer doesn’t matter!!’

•Message to the fans:

It’s a shame that I cannot join Den-O Night, but I let my heart fly there. I hope you have a wonderful night.

Kento Shimoyama must’ve primarily been a Kamen Rider fan during early Heisei, because he does pretty decent tributes but the Ryuki, Blade and Agito ones have been REALLY strong imo. So many little nods!
