Howl's Moving Castle (2004)

Howl's Moving Castle (2004)

Have you ever had an afternoon snack and then taken a little nap afterwards? And did that biscuit and glass of milk came back to you in psychadelic dream form, filling your head with colorful visions of how you never really graduated from primary school but need to do it all again, naked? Have you ever marvelled at how vivid and imaginative those dreams can be? How internally consistent they are, but how difficult they are to describe in waking life? Well, we could say the same thing about Hayao Miyazaki movies. Except for the naked bit.


Transcendental anime. Shades of Madeleine L'Engle, too.

Like your dream, Howl's Moving Castle is hard to describe. But if you've seen any of Miyazaki's other films (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke), it's all the same style of complex characterizations, blurry motives, meandering storylines, and the complete absence of the usual black-white movie moral dichotomy. This might make it sound like a bore, but trust us, it's really, really good. We highly recommend any of Miyazaki's movies, as they are so phemonenally imaginative. (Hence also why we went overboard on the screenshots.)


Deep into Plato's cave!

Howl's Moving Castle takes place in some sort of alternative universe Europe from the late 19th, early 20th century. The surrounding countryside could be the south of France, or Monaco, or Switzerland; the buildings could be from the London of H.G. Wells. Our heroine is Sophie Hatter, a self-described "plain" girl who makes hats (ha ha) and sort of hangs around. Her country is at war, and one day, when the soldiers go marching off to trumpets and parade banners, she wanders down an alley, is waylaid by some leery soldiers, and is saved by the anime version of David Bowie. This turns out to be the titular Howl, owner of the castle and wizard extraordinare. Howl's got some Blobbies of Doom (relatives of the Squigglies of Hate, no doubt) on his tail, and so he promptly escorts Sophie up into the clouds. This is a lovely scene.


A very steampunk setting.


Howl, played by the anime version of David Bowie.


Blobbies!

Anyway, Sophie's all like, "Wow! Cool!" and Howl's like, "OK, seeya later." and Sophie's like, "Oh." A few days later, the fascinatingly fat Witch of the Waste shows up in Sophie's hat shop and promptly casts a spell on Sophie, reducing her to a shrivelled old lady who looks about 200 years old. The ever-plucky Sophie decides the only way she can get rid of this spell is to find that Howl guy, and off she goes, into the Sound of Music mountains to find his castle (which moves, inconveniently). Along the way she befriends a scarecrow who, yes, has a brain but cannot speak nor walk but only hop. She finds the castle, we are introduced to new characters - the adorable little boy, Markl, and the very cute fire demon, Calcifer - and Sophie meshes well, even though Howl is an idiot and has no idea that the Old Sophie he hired as a maid is actually also the Young Sophie he flirted with earlier. Or maybe he does know, and we're the idiots.


WHOA. Witch of the Waste.


To war!

That's about as linear as we can make it, and that's only the first 20 minutes of the film. Just watch the rest of it, it's very worth it. Onto our thoughts now!


Old Sophie, and Howl sporting his Black Raven look.

Well, we always like Miyazaki. And by "like" we actually mean "are blown away by". The man is a genius. He must have a circus in his head; a circus of GENIUS. You can see the genius in those moments when these little drawings stop to wipe their skirt or check their shoe to see what they stepped in; never have we seen such realism in animation. And such wonder! Every scene was an explosion of vividness and color, every little whir and wheeze of the moving castle itself was so meticulously there. In terms of imagery, it was fascinating and fun, and we were reduced to children with slack jaws going, "Wooo-ooow."

Despite the ending, which seemed somewhat too pat compared to Miyazaki's other works, the narrative was generous but never straightforward, and certainly never anything we could have expected. Goodbye, grounded and familiar land of cliché! Just as we sat entranced and morally confused in Princess Mononoke ("Who's the villain? Where the hell is Scar when you need him!"), so too did Howl's Moving Castle make us completely reevaluate characters. These are cartoon characters. We were reevaluating the morality of cartoon characters. THAT'S WHY HE IS SO GOOD.


The war hits close to home!

Then there are the ever-present themes of pacifism, flight, and personal evolution. We highly recommend reading Wikipedia's article on Hayao Miyazaki, which talks about his recurrent visual motifs and influences. And we highly recommend indoctrinating your children in Miyazaki, as his films will provide some welcome relief and freshness from the overly manipulative, overly morally-bland (Simba good, Scar bad) Disney standard.

Y.Kids Manga Literary Classics:

The Pince and The Puper, Daddy-long legs

Posted in

Review by Ed Sizemore

First, a brief rant. Shame on Y.Kids for not giving credit to the actual writers and artists! I thought the dark days of uncredited comics were behind us. There is no excuse for failing to give proper recognition to the creative people that make your books possible. I hope that future printings will rectify this atrocity.

Second, a brief note on semantics. Y.Kids books aren’t actually manga. The books are by Singaporean artists and writers, imported to America by a Korean publisher. Like many other publishers, Y.Kids is jumping on the manga bandwagon. To make this more interesting, these books aren’t translated works, they were originally written in English. (English is the governmental language of Singapore.)

The Prince and the Pauper
Buy this book

The Prince and the Pauper is an adaptation of Mark Twain’s classic novel. It’s the story of Tom Canty and Prince Edward of England, two boys that look identical. Because of a quirky misunderstanding and circumstances, they end up swapping places. By having to live in each others’ shoes, they each come to understand that no one lives a charmed and carefree life.

Tom learns that though Prince Edward may not suffer any economic hardships, he does live under the weight of being heir to the throne. Being groomed to rule a nation is not an easy nor enviable life. Prince Edward learns the plight of the poor in his country. He also finds out how his father’s laws further oppress the poor. He remembers well what he’s learned and will enact reforms when he takes the throne.

I haven’t read Twain’s original novel, so I can’t comment on how faithful an adaptation this book is. I can say the manga version is well written. Both Tom and Prince Edward are sympathetic characters. The book does a good job of showing us the difficulties that both Tom and Prince Edward face in their normal and swapped daily lives. The book never shies away from the reality that taking all things into consideration, the Prince does lead the better life. It may be difficult to rule a nation, but it beats wondering how many days until your next meal. The book is also frank with the brutalities that the poor have visited upon them and visit upon each other. Parents should take note this book does have a couple brief depictions of child abuse. It delivers strong messages about justice, compassion, and responsibility without ever being preachy.

The artwork is serviceable. It’s simple and has a flat look to it. It reminds me of the art seen in cheaply animated shows of the 70’s aimed at small children. I always felt this style of art ‘talks down’ to children by implying that children can’t comprehend a complex visual language. Given the seriousness of the themes in this book, I would have preferred a more realistic and visually rich art style. Children raised in our current video culture can easily handle such art. I will credit the artist for doing a good job of researching 16th century England and making the clothes and environment realistic to that time and place.

Daddy-Long-Legs
Buy this book

Daddy-Long-Legs is an adaptation of Jean Webster’s novel. Jerusha Abbot is an 18-year-old girl who has spent most, if not all, of her life in an orphanage. Upon high school graduation, she must leave the orphanage and find her place in the world. However, Jerusha has been given an exceptional opportunity for a women at the turn of the 20th century. Ms. Lippett, the orphanage director, has convinced one of the trustees to sponsor Jerusha to go to college. There are conditions to her scholarship: 1) she is not given, nor is she to ask, the name of her benefactor; 2) she must write monthly letters to her benefactor, care of his agent, whom she may address as John Smith; and 3) she is not to expect, nor to ask for, letters from Mr. Smith. She nicknames her benefactor Daddy-Long-Legs based on the tall shadow she saw of him when he left the orphanage. The book then goes on to tell about Jerusha’s four years at a college through her letters to Mr. Smith.

Daddy-Long-Legs is a coming-of-age story. We watch as Jerusha slowly transforms from a shy and timid girl, embarrassed by her orphanage upbringing, to a confident woman who embraces her past and is ready to see what the world has to offer. She has a wonderful independent spirit and refuses to be controlled by anyone, including her benefactor. She’s a very likable character that you grow more attached to as she matures.

Again, I haven’t read the original novel, so I can’t comment on the how well this book adapts Webster’s work. The story in the manga is generally well done. It’s a great book to remind readers of what life was like for women just a hundred years ago. The vast majority of women didn’t go to college, weren’t members of the workforce, and couldn’t even vote. Girls like Jerusha were expected to find a man as quickly as possible, get married, and spend the rest of their lives maintaining a household. For me, it was a sobering reminder of the hard uphill battle women faced, and still face, to achieve independence and equality.

The story does falter at the end. About halfway through the book you will figure out who the mysterious benefactor is. There’s a love triangle toward the end where Mr. Smith’s keeping his identity a secret gives him insider information that he can use to his advantage. I found this to be a little creepy on Mr. Smith’s part. A more honorable man would have put all his cards on the table so Jerusha could make an honest and informed choice. Sorry, I’ve never subscribed to the ‘‘all’s far in love and war’’ school of romance.

The art is decent. It’s more realistic and mature than in The Prince and the Pauper. It seems to be a cross between the illustration style found in young adult novels and a bare-bones shojo house style. The artist uses soft watercolor tones. I would be more complementary of the art, but occasionally people are drawn off-model. When the panel is a static image, the art becomes quite good. The costumes and backgrounds are realistic to turn-of-the-20th-century America.

Both books have some nice extras included. At the beginning of each book is a cast of characters to help readers. There is a one-page biography of the original author at the back of each book and a timeline showing the major events in that author’s life as well as the major events happening in America. The Prince and the Pauper has a short biography of King Edward VI, and Daddy-Long-Legs has a history of women’s colleges in America. Overall, the books are well-packaged and would make nice gifts or additions to a library.

I wish that Y.Kids was a well-organized as their books. The front page of each book tells parents and teachers to visit the Y.Kids website for additional resources related to each book. However, at the website, there is nothing but product descriptions. The homepage for the Manga Literary Classics line again asserts, “Our website offers supplemental activities, resources, and study material to help you incorporate Y.Kids books into your child’s reading at home or into a classroom curriculum.” This material is simply non-existent. The website also states at the back of each book there is “a list of suggested web and print resources for related information.” Again, that is not true. Since Y.Kids is listing these as reasons to buy their books, you would think that they would be diligent in making this material available. I was looking forward to seeing the kind of material Y.Kids had prepared and was frustrated and angry when I came up empty-handed. They really need to correct this massive oversight/blunder.

Y.Kids does provide previews for all of their books including The Prince and the Pauper and Daddy-Long-Legs.

Putting aside the unkept promises, I highly recommend each book as a way to introduce young readers to each writer. Personally, I had never heard of Jean Webster, so I was introduced to a new author. Given that each original novel deals with a time period not familiar to most children, these manga will make the books more accessible to them. Hopefully, it will spark an interest in the original novels and other works by these authors.

First Look at Marvel Anime!



The first look at the joint project between Marvel and the Japanese animation company Madhouse was revealed today at the San Diego Comic-Con. Marvel Anime is a project that sees Western superheroes reinterpreted for the Eastern world in what is arguably the most popular medium in children's programming.

The first two series in the line of four planned Marvel Anime are Iron Man and Wolverine which are scheduled to premiere in Japan in Spring 2010. What do you think? Is this a good move? Are you willing to accept a completely different version of your favourite characters?

I personally think that this could be the coolest thing to happen in the world of superhero animation.

-NEW- Final Fantasy XIII Agito Trailer [HD] and Info.

by Captainrag (Raynar)

For some reason the beginning of this trailer reminds me of Hitler and WWII but still it looks pretty badass, ENJOY!!! oh and please watch in HD for full effect COPYRIGHTS © SQUARE ENIX.

Video:

Info:

nnounced at the time of vent DKΣ3713 of Square Enix, the change of destination of Final Fantasy Agito XIII had stirred up some not badly. To pass from the statute of play for Mobile to that of title for PSP was not clearly a small matter to be considered, especially after the graphic prowesses of Crisis Core or of God off War on the matter.
Very clearly, all was to be remade and, especially, to reconsider. The fault very clearly with the editor Japanese developer who, one does not know why, intended a chapter of the trilogy Fabula Nova Crystalis on the telephones portable whereas FFXIII leaves on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and that Versus XIII is intended for the moment completely for the latter. In all the cases, the developers had to squeak of the teeth and nobody could be upset with them, so much this decision was aberrant.
Final Fantasy Agito XIII is thus at present always under development, advances slowly, and the last interview of Testuya Nomura was not made to be reassuring, as for a possible date of exit on the Japanese market, because this last stated being in the search of four additional designers in order to ensure a character design and a level design of equal quality for the hundred characters which populates the play. Here are which leaves pantois, but which forecasts a bright future with Agito XIII of which we now will clarify some details.

As some among you will have noticed during the diffusion of the last trailer card relating to it, besides the world of Agito XIII is in full conflict, this last being presented with a very marked after-taste of Second world war.
Four nations divide the territory, each one having its own crystal, symbol of their very particular capacities, and alive in peace since the signature of a non-aggression pact. The Empire Militates represents the largest entity. It is directed by a dictator who is not without recalling certain Furher follower of the military processions to the step the goose which, of course, very quickly appears greediest and thus decides to annex all the territories with its range, the fatherland of our heroes included/understood there, in order to adapt the famous crystals of being able and to destroy them.

The history is focused above all on the existence of named university militia Peristylium. As its name so clearly shows it in Latin, the peristylium is the reinforcement which supports all the bases of a dwelling, its central part or, if you prefer, its load-bearing wall. It is thus not for only in Agito XIII the universities bear this name, since they are charged to form and educate the generations which will make function the various states. We count of them four for the moment, one by country, those of Byakko, Genbu, of Souryu and Suzaku, the latter sheltering our heroes, of which the capital fore-mentioned Rubrum.
With each examination of passage, the candidate who will succeed in handling his gifts correctly, as well of weapons as in magics, will be declared Agito and suited to the combat. One imagines from here the reactions and well not, it is not a question of very Final Fantasy VIII if the basic principle approaches some largely.

The scenario as for him continues to take again the great sets of themes of the Second world war, with what it counted of anschluss and blitzkrieg, thus judge:
“A prophecy tells that in Year 999, the Crystal will be destroyed, involving with him the fall of the East… ”.
The Empire Militate decides to invade the three countries which are frontier for him in order to seize the crystals capacity had by the latter. To be done, he undertakes to make fall to various capitals, as well as the peristyliums (universities), charged to form the thinking heads and the combatants of each state. After the fall of its city, Rubrum, the peristylium of Suzaku rectifies the head and decides to take the weapons against the invader.

With Agito XIII, it is of the action-RPG type Crisis Core which awaits us. The news will delight the fans, the others will go their way if they did not adhere to the principle of préquelle of Final Fantasy VII. Where you had only one Zack to handle (to turn around the enemies, to strike them by behind, to play the mice of smuggling between their legs of Titans), this time you will have twelve characters under your cut, with which you will have to train a team of three according to the talents of each one. No panic, the actions will be to assign in an automatic way on your PSP (one imagines from here cold sweats which have to come up at the horizon at some of fear of getting mixed up the brushes at the time of the engagements). The small one more will come besides from the ad hoc mode which will make it possible three players to take part in a co-operation mode full with promises.

In Super Mario Bros., the titular character Mario must save Princess Toadstool (eventually renamed to Princess Peach) of the Mushroom Kingdom from the evil King Koopa (later known as King Bowser), king of the Koopas. In two-player mode, Mario is aided in his quest by his younger brother, Luigi. In order to save Princess Toadstool, the Mario Bros. must conquer the eight worlds that comprise the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario (or Luigi) must make his way to the castle in each world and defeat one of King Koopa's evil minions. In order to reach each castle Mario or Luigi must battle through three "sub-worlds" by either destroying or avoiding King Koopa's henchmen. If Mario or Luigi successfully fights his way through the castle and defeats the evil minion, a Mushroom Retainer (later called Toad), is freed. Inside the eighth castle, the Mario Bros. will find Princess Toadstool.

Genshiken

Name: Genshiken
Genre: Comedy
Year: 2004
Rating: Must See

Based on the manga by Kio Shimoku, Genshiken follows the life of a collage club and its members. This particular club known as Genshiken is a place where its otaku members can gather and appreciate their love for media such as anime, manga, figurines and the culture of cosplaying. Sasahara Kanji is a freshman, though he soon becomes a new addition to Genshiken his interest in anime, manga and gaming allows him to easily fit in. The life of Genshiken may seem unfamiliar to some however its target audience will certainly appreciate what it has to offer. This great example of a slice of life incorporates much of the otaku culture and the stereotypes associated with it. Fulfilling the duty of an otaku in going to the comiket, spending time playing “various” games and sharing their overall interest in otaku life is what this series is about.

I actually missed this series in its initial release, it was not until a while later that I was informed about this series. At first I was quite confused as the first few minutes of the first episode features a clip from a series known as Kujibiki Unbalance. This typical romance comedy is made within Genshiken, in other words its an anime in an anime. I found that this was quite interesting concept, the idea of creating a famous series that existed within Genshiken is quite creative and it would seem that many others have taken a liking to this idea too. (Kujibiki Unbalance was later made into a spin off manga and anime series) As for the artwork, the attention to detail as it can be seen in the screen shots is something to be noted. There are many good things that can be said about this series but its much easier to just see it for yourself.

Cyborg She

Synopsis
It is November the 22nd, 2007. Jirou Kitamura (Keisuke Koide) is spending his 20th birthday alone. As he is buying a birthday present for himself in a department store, he catches sight of a 'cute girl' (Haruka Ayase). The girl, who also seems interested in him, follows him to a restaurant for his birthday meal, during which she suddenly states that it's 'her birthday too'. The two of them therefore exchange birthday presents. The girl, who seems unused to things as they are, behaves and speaks in a very bold manner- so much so that she rushes Jirou out of the restaurant without paying and provokes a chase after them throughout Tokyo. As the hijinks ensue, Jirou finds himself charmed by the girl. Unfortunately, after a few hours, the girl insists that she has to leave. After some mysterious words to him, she runs away, leaving him bemused.
It then moves back to November the 22nd, 2008. Exactly one year on from his 20th birthday, Jirou is celebrating his 21st birthday by himself in the same restaurant he ate in with the girl the previous year. All of a sudden, a girl the spitting image of her appears in front of him. This girl, however, has been sent to save him from a disastrous fate by a crippled future version of himself- she is, as his future self describes her, a cyborg modelled after the girl he met a year ago. Thus Jirou's strange life with the girl begins. Despite her 'cute' outward appearance, she is incredibly strong, and her behaviour is erratic and otherworldly in comparison to other people's. She comes to Jirou's aid whenever he is in a difficult situation, and indeed saves many other people's lives alongside his through her intervention.
Over time, Jirou not only becomes dependent on her, but also begins to fall for her. However, when it seems that she cannot return his feelings in the same way as he expresses them, he becomes irritated and forbids her to show herself in front of him again unless she can do so. He gradually regrets this, especially when it seems she is still doing things for him despite not being by his side. However, another disastrous incident which his future self hinted that he would have to suffer soon shows itself: a gigantic earthquake which completely devastated Tokyo as he knows it. As his apartment block collapses, the girl once again appears in order to help him- but this time, even her inhuman strength isn't enough to let her completely escape the consequences. After telling Jirou that she now understands his feelings, she is destroyed, and a distraught Jirou spends the next 61 years of his life trying to rebuild her. He eventually succeeds, although he passes away not too long afterwards.
In that future time, a girl is alerted by one of her friends that there is a cyborg on display that looks just like her. Upon realising that this is the case, she becomes increasingly curious about the situation, even going so far as to buy the now-shut down cyborg and experience the memories she had stored in her hard-drive. Feeling more intrigued than ever, she fulfils her wish of going back in time to meet the creator of the cyborg- Jirou Kitamura- on his 20th birthday in 2007...

Two years after the events of Kamen Rider the First, a strange series of bizarre murders occur with the victims mutilated in a most gruesome fashion while pop star Chiharu's "Platinum Smile" is being played, becoming an urban legend. Meanwhile, Takeshi Hongo has become a high school science teacher with a troublesome class with one catching his attention, a troubled girl named Kotomi Kikuma who was best friends with Chiharu and is worried about her. By the time Hongo and she find a dying "Chiharu", they learn she's actually an imposter as the Shocker Inhumanoid Chainsaw Lizard arrives with the six Shocker Riders to carry out the task of executing Hongo, forcing him to reveal himself in as Kamen Rider 1 to Kotomi before escaping his hunters. At around the same time, Hayato Ichimonji is shown still alive but slowly weakening due to his body's rejection of the cybernetic changes which made him Kamen Rider 2.
The next day, after saving Kotomi from some punks by exposing his physical ability, Hongo accept Kotomi's offer to help in finding Chiharu by finding her older brother Shiro Kazami, who is former president of the rising IT enterprise ExaStream, which is tied to the mysterious dissappearence of its staff two months prior. Making their way to his holiday home to meet Kazami, Hongo and Kotomi soon learn that he in league with Shocker as Chainsaw Lizard and the Shocker Riders battle Kamen Rider on as Kazami joins the fray as a Shocker Inhumanoid code-named "V3". After chasing down Rider 1 in a highspeed chase across the countryside, V3 and the Shocker Riders take down Rider 1 until Kamen Rider 2 re-appears to cover Rider 1's escape. But after realizing his "sister" was another imposter, Kazami reveals the incident at ExaStream was a Shocker experiment of Nanobots designed to convert all humans in Japan into cyborgs, with him being a survivor of the experiment. The three riders later learn that Kotomi found the other girl, revealing the gruesome fate the real Chiharu suffered as she and predecessor were involved, horrifying Kazami as Kotomi is telepathically shown the truth of the real Chiharu's final moments as "Chiharu" runs off and eventually is brutally murdered with the manager and the record dealer who were covering up her death as Kotomi uses Platinum Smile to communicate with Chiharu, learning that she's still alive as the "ghost" took its leave.
After Kazami reveals to Hongo that Shocker's foreign branch brought a shipment of nanobots to spread them across the nation, Rider 1 arrives to intercept the convoy while battling Scissors Jaguar, the mastermind behind the Nanobot Operation, with Rider 2 arriving to back him up as the battle brings to the Legend of Gathering in an all out fight for the nanobots. Though the Double Riders were overwhelmed, the tables are turned as V3 arrives to support them. While the Double Riders kill Scissors Jaguar, V3 manages to destroy Chainsaw Lizard and the nanobots before coming face to face with Chiharu, horrifically mutated by the nanobots into a monster as she pleas her brother to put her out of her misery. Though reluctant to do it, Kazami executes the V3 Punch to honor his sister's wish to die rather then live as a monster in agonizing pain. After the Triple Riders escape the burning restaurant, Ichimonji takes his leave to spend his final moments in bliss at a Ginza bar he regulars, while Kazami decides to start a new life for himself. As for Hongo, he is forced to quit his job after a few complaints made for his earlier stunt as Kotomi decides to walk him home. The Platinum Smile incidents seemingly end as the credits roll.
However, though Chiharu finally died, the "curse of Platinum Smile" is still in effect.

Kamen Rider Kabuto: God Speed Love

Synopsis:
In 1999, an enormous meteor crashed onto Earth carrying extraterrestrial creatures known as Worms within it. These creatures took on the identities of real humans and then killed them. In order to counter this new threat, ZECT was formed, who in turn created the Masked Rider System to combat the Worms. The battles lasts over seven years, depleting Earth's resources and turning it into a barren wasteland. By present time, power struggles in ZECT have caused a new group, known as Neo-ZECT, to be created by Hidenori Oda. Daisuke Kazama and Shura Hokuto are also part of Neo-ZECT.

With three groups in existence (Neo-ZECT, ZECT and the Worms), Souji Tendou has decided to sell his power to either Neo-ZECT or ZECT, but his intentions are unclear. At the same time, ZECT has obtained intelligence about a large comet orbiting the vicinity of space. By building the Jacob's Ladder space station, they plan to capture this meteor and spread its water throughout Earth, replenishing the Earth’s oceans. The space station includes a function that works in conjunction with the Rider System's Clock Up function. Tendou joins Neo-ZECT after telling ZECT that he attempts to disband it from the inside and manipulates ZECT and Neo-ZECT against each other. When Neo-ZECT's plan to take over the space station is initiated, both groups’ true colors come to light. Tendou proceeds to enter the space station for his true motive on helping both sides was to foil ZECT's secret plan. Meanwhile, Daisuke has been killed at the hands of Shura who has betrayed Neo-ZECT. Oda attempts to fight off this trap, and he is able to kill Yaguruma. Chasing after Shura however, he meets ZECT's legendary Rider, Caucasus, and is defeated in a matter of seconds. Kagami has also decided to marry Hiyori and they hope to build a future together. Kagami is then chosen to activate the space station's Clock Up function and must leave, but he promises Hiyori he will come back.

Tendou has arrived on Jacob's Ladder first however, and he attempts to foil ZECT's hidden motive. After fighting Ketaros, they both fall off the space station due to the Clock Up function pulling through another meteor infested with Worms. Kabuto is able to survive thanks to the Kabuto Extender, but Ketaros dies upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. Tendou and Kagami receive news however, that Hiyori is on the point of dying due to the exposure to the meteor dust years ago and it is then that Tendou reveals he is Hiyori's brother. Holding the wedding ceremony in a hospital, Hiyori dies soon afterwards. At this point, Shura tells Tendou that ZECT has betrayed them and is allied with the Worms. ZECT plans to let the meteor crash onto Earth so that the Worms will conquer humanity. However, it seems that Caucasus and the leaders of ZECT are the only ones who know of this plan and attempted to silence her for overhearing their plans. Shura then dies from the wounds inflicted on her as Tendou and Kagami take it on as their mission to save humanity from this disaster.

Making it to the space shuttle in time, they meet Caucasus, who explains to them that the meteor is the medium to transfer Worms. The missiles within the shuttle will be used to destroy weak humans. Humanity will be taken over by the Worms because Caucasus believes he will protect and fight for the strongest and most beautiful, the belief of the rose. The majority of the battle is in Caucasus' favor; however when Caucasus activates Maximum Rider Power and prepares to kill Tendou with a Rider Kick, Kagami steps in the way and protects Tendou. Tendou is then able to use this time to steal the Hyper Zecter from Caucasus, forcing him into an ejection chamber and launching him into space. Tendou then puts Kagami back in an escape pod and sends him on his way back to Earth. However, Caucasus, while in the void of space, latches on to Kagami's escape pod and punches a hole into the window, killing Kagami. At the same time, Tendou becomes Hyper Kabuto and through the use of Hyper Clock Up, he reverses time to save Kagami and destroy Caucasus, blowing him up along with the missiles in the space shuttle.

Tendou then uses the Hyper Zecter's Hyper Clock Up to send the second meteor back in time and force it to crash into the first meteor. The result is a small fragment that only hits Shibuya, minimizing the damage and erasing the future in which the Earth's oceans are dried up. However, the shockwave caused by the two meteors crashing hits Tendou and sends him flying backwards towards Earth. Afterwards, Tendou lands in Shibuya and finds himself in the same situation he was in seven years ago. This time however, he gives his belt to the younger Tendou who is then able to save Hiyori. With the disastrous future erased, Tendou disappears as his youngest self grows up and lives a better life in the new timeline.

Kamen Rider Kiva: King of the Castle in the Demon World

Synopsis:
The story begins in 2008 as the Antlion Fangire begins to feed until Megumi intervened as Nago arrives to slay the monster. However, during their struggle, the Mummy Legendorga suddenly resurrects and feeds on the humans before using his power to turn the Antlion Fangire into his slave to aid him in overwhelming Nago with the Arms Monsters watching the fight. While this occurred, Wataru Kurenai starts attending a local high school at Shizuka's suggestion and quickly befriends Natsuki Tsukue, who tries to get Wataru to join several clubs where he fails in each one while trying to ask her if she would like to start a violin club, she refuses out right.

Later that night, death row inmate Takashi Sugimura has escaped from prison and the pursuing police officers by means of a dark power possessing him, with Nago going after him under advisement from Mamoru Shima to capture the fugitive with caution as he may be a Fangire. When Nago finds Sugimura, he chases the fugitive all the way to Wataru's high school and takes Natsuki hostage, but she is freed by the joint efforts of Wataru and Nago. However, the Medusa and Mummy Legendorgas appear to Sugimura's aid when he was being escorted back to jail, overpowering Ixa as Kiva arrives. They overpower the riders until another figure named Takato Shiramine appears, transforming into Kamen Rider Rey and drives the two Legendorgas off as they take Sugimura with them, waking him as their Lord.

At the cafe, as Shiramine explains the Legendorgas, Wataru finds that the current crisis started when Sugimura attempted to break out of jail by using the famous violinist Towa Sakakibara as a hostage in 1986 and broke the Legendorgas' seal. With this knowledge, Wataru asks the Arm Monsters permission to use Castle Doran's Time Door to go back in time to prevent the woman's death. While trying to get Sakakibara to cancel her concert, he is stopped by Otoya who was convinced he was a Fangire and tries to beat him. After another attempt to talk to her, Wataru is attacked by Yuri after Otoya tells her about him as the police arrive to arrest Otoya on the impression he's the criminal. Forced to take Wataru in a stolen police car, Otoya is shocked when Wataru recognized him as his father. Wataru attempts to prove himself with his cellphone and money before he and his father are both sent to the prison where Towa is to perform, with Sugimura attempting to use her a hostage to escape. But Otoya knocks out a guard so he and Wataru can get out of their cell to save Towa and restain Sugimura.

After Wataru returns to his time, the knocked out guard turns out to be Zebra Fangire thatattacks Otoya before trying to kill Towa. But Yuri arrives to allow Otoya to kill the Fangire as Ixa, causing the chain of events where Sugimura escapes and uncovers the tomb of the Legendorga Lord, envoking the spirit within it. When Wataru returns to his time, he is targeted by people under the control of the Mummy Legendorga, with the Gargolye Legendorga overseeing their attack. Luckily, Otoya and Yuri arrive to aid their future children, later bonding with them before Otoya reveals that Towa Sakakibara is the stage name of Natsumi Tsukue, mother of Natsuki. Otoya is enjoying the present and its perks after disguising Wataru so he wouldn't be attacked, meeting up with Shiramine before he is distracted by a young woman named Sayaka as Shiramine tells Wataru that Kiva's destruction will soon come as Sakaya reveals herself as the Medusa Legendorga.

Becoming Kiva to fight the Legendorgas, he summons Buroon Booster which he uses to destroys the Mandrake Legendorga as the Arm Monsters arrive to aid Kiva in fighting the remaining three in both their true forms and in their weapon forms. However, as his friends drive the monsters off, Kiva is attacked by Rey who reveals that he is on the Legendorgas' side as he then takes the Aso girls hostage. Later at the cafe, after Otoya plays Natsumi's song to help Natsuki finally accept her mother, Rey-kivat arrives with orders to take Wataru go to the Legendorgas' castle alone. After knocking his father out, Wataru arrives at the castle and is brought before Sugimura, who reveals himself to be the vessel of the Legendorga Lord Arc who was defeated by the original Kiva and uses his power to force Wataru's Fangire blood to manifest into Kiva's Flight Style. Under Arc's control, Wataru is forced to have Otoya relinguish his Ixa Knuckle as Nago arrives to help. But once he loses his Ixa Knuckle, Yuri and Megumi arrive after freeing themselves and use their time-respective Ixa Knuckles to fight the Legendorgas with Otoya managing to snap his son out of Arc's spell as the Aso girls kill the Medusa Legendorga.

Enraged, Sugimura decides to kill Wataru as they both assume their Rider Forms as the Ixa Knuckles are returned to Otoya and Nago who fight the Mummy Legendorga and Rey, respectively. Nago eventually gets the best of Rey, destroying him, while Otoya eventually destroys the Mummy Legendorga, even though his Save Mode helmet is heavily damaged in the process. While this occurred, Kiva is forced to assume Emperor Form to deal with the larger opponent, weakening him enough so he can be defeated by both of the Kurenai family Riders. However, Arc asborbs the power of race to become Legend Arc to kill them. Kiva then transforms into Emperor Form's Flight Style to destroy Legend Arc with Castle Doran's aid. After everything returns to normal, Otoya performs alongside his son on their violins at Wataru's school before he and Yuri return to their time. Once they left, Wataru is joined by Natsuki as the two perform a duet.

However, Negataros uses the Den-O Pass to become Nega Den-O as the fight begins. As the Tarōs deal with the Fangires, Zeronos battles the Clown Imagin while Den-O dukes it out with Nega Den-O. Nega Den-O easily gains the upper hand against all four Den-O forms, but before he can finish him off, Kamen Rider Kiva arrives to turn the tables as Den-O Climax Form joins him in a Double Rider Kick. The impact forces Negataros out of his Rider form. Refusing to accept defeat, Nega Den-O escapes in the Nega Den-Liner with Den-Liner and Zero-Liner in pursuit. Castle Doran joins the fight as all three giants destroy the Nega Den-Liner, taking out Negataros for good. Soon after, Ryotaro takes Kazuya to 1986 to see Kazuma as he was interviewing Otoya on an investigation, giving the young detective closure. Though they succeeded in their mission to stop Negataros, Momotaros decides to keep the Den-Liner Police going as he considers being a cop a cool thing. After they succeed in cornering a couple of crooks, Deneb attempts to ask for Yuto to join the Den-Liner Police, failing to see the crooks they cornered escape with the Den-Liner Police and Yuto chasing after them.
