The Kamen Rider series began with W's cameo in Kamen Rider Code, and there was a tradition of new riders making their debuts. Either in the last few episodes of the TV version, or in the summer theater version, except for Drive, Aunt East will warm up a wave of new knights in advance. Today, Xiaobian will discuss with you how the screenwriters deal with the first appearance of the new knight.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the same worldview</h1>
Before discussing this topic, we need to clarify the question of Kamen Rider's worldview. There is no doubt that the Showa knights are all in the same worldview, and it is inexplicable that the worldview of the Heisei knights is incomprehensible.
Aunt East has shown that Void me and AgitΩ are a worldview, and from Dragon Rider to Decade are independent worldviews. After entering the Heisei new decade, W to Ex-Aid is a worldview, Build is an independent worldview, Zi-O's worldview... Too confusing Xiaobian chose not to talk about it directly.
In other words, it is actually very convenient for Kamen Rider to debut in the new decade of Heisei, probably like running to an adjacent city to play...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > laid the groundwork</h1>
Everyone knows that the first appearance of the new knight is similar to a streamer, and generally speaking, it will not have much impact on the plot later. However, most viewers still hope that the screenwriter can give a reasonable explanation for these first-appearing plots. So from "Kamen Rider Drive", the screenwriter used the debut of the new knight to ambush the pen.
Take Ghost, who has a cameo in both the Surprise Future and the TV finale, and the screenwriter moved the plot of the "Kamen Rider Drive" finale to the TV of "Kamen Rider Ghost".
In the finale of Kamen Rider Drive, Xiao Zun took the Eye Soul from his brother-in-law, which was actually the Newton Soul he used in Episode 4. So the screenwriter did not explain to everyone how this Newton's soul came from, but chose to play a short shot of the finale of "Kamen Rider Drive".
The most satisfactory plot arrangement is Build's first appearance. Although the above-mentioned Ghost debut was arranged by the screenwriter as a foreshadowing, the timeline is still a bit problematic, but Build is different.
When Build first appeared in episode 44 of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, the writers had already made it clear that his purpose was to collect ex-Aid ingredients, and the result was to "accidentally kill" the shrimp dumplings. However, this did not make Build abandon his plan, and at the end of "True Ending" he finally succeeded in collecting the ingredients of Ex-Aid, causing Yongmeng to lose his ability to transform.
Xiaobian remembered that many netizens at that time said that this behavior was quite annoying, and a junior did not have the respect that the predecessor should have. But the screenwriter used the plot to tell everyone that it was not that he did not respect his predecessors, but that he had a more far-sighted vision.
This foreshadowing was eventually revealed in Kamen Rider Heisei Generation Final Build & Ex-Aid with Legendary Knight, the first to appear in build is Katsuragi's clever change, and The War Rabbit has no memory of it. The reason for collecting the Ex-Aid ingredient is to retain the power of Eternal Dream, to ensure that in the worst case, there is also the power of an invincible player who can save the world.
For this foreshadowing, I only want to say two words: "wonderful"!
Obviously, they are two independent worldviews, but they are connected together through a small Easter egg, and they also enrich the role of Ge Chengqiao. Let's not forget that in Kamen Rider Build, the writers initially deliberately induced everyone to hate Katsugi, the demon scientist.
This pre-appearance can also be regarded as a hint to everyone, the role of Ge Chengqiao is not as bad as everyone thinks, and now what everyone sees is likely to be an illusion. Sure enough, in the later stage, the screenwriter "rehabilitated" the role of Ge Chengqiao.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">
Meet the old devil
</h1>
The most puzzling thing now is the first appearance of Zi-O.
The Little Devil appears first in Be The One, where the War Rabbit is taken to a parallel world by a white panel and witnesses a battle between the knight and the villain. The Little Devil King took the Time Demon Machine to make a strong appearance, and directly annihilated the final boss of the past with the Build armor.
In the later "Kamen Rider Zi-O", the screenwriter did not explain how this first appearance was at all, and seemed to be completely regarded as a warm-up Easter egg.
The screenwriter does not explain, does not mean that netizens can not explain, many netizens have speculated that the Zi-O in "Be The One" is actually the 2068 old devil Zi-O in "Kamen Rider Zi-O". Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why Zi-O was able to overthrow the final boss of the past with the Build armor at that time.
Xiaobian feels that this speculation is not unreasonable, but since the screenwriters have not made a clear statement, the speculation of our fans can only be used as a guess. Therefore, you small partners should not easily swear on the Internet that their speculation and analysis are spread around as official settings, which is seriously rumor-mongering...
What do you think about the debut of the new knights? In fact, I still like that the screenwriter can make reasonable use of these first-appearing plots. Welcome to leave a message in the comment area below to share Oh, but also to the editor to a like and pay attention to it, thank you.
