Kamen Rider Gaim (仮面ライダー鎧武(ガイム), Kamen Raidā Gaimu) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama in the Kamen Rider Series, the 15th series during its Heisei run and 24th overall. The series, written by Gen Urobuchi, directed by Ryuta Tasaki and produced by Naomi Takebe, began airing on TV Asahi from October 6, 2013, replacing Kamen Rider Wizard in its initial timeslot and joining Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger then Ressha Sentai ToQger in the Super Hero Time programming block.

Story

In the once suburb city of Zawame (沢芽市, Zawame-shi), a large company known as the Yggdrasill Corporation setting up shops in the whole city, it now feels like everyone is living in a jōkamachi (城下町, castle town) rather than a bustling city. To escape this feeling, young people throughout the city have formed dance crews called Beat Riders to bring joy back into their lives. Another rising popularity are the Lockseeds used in the Inves Games involving the conjuring of creatures called Inves. Kouta Kazuraba, a member of the dance group Team Gaim, is trying to find his place in the world while torn between his loyalty to his teammates and his sister's insistence that he find a job. When Team Gaim's captain disappears after informing Kouta of a strange belt he found, Kouta discovers that the Lockseeds and Inves are from an alternate dimension known as Helheim Forest. When he is attacked by an Inves that enters the real world, Kouta uses the Sengoku Driver belt and the Orange Lockseed to transform into a samurai-armored warrior to destroy the Inves while encountering a mysterious girl resembling his Team Gaim teammate and close friend Mai Takatsukasa who tells him that his fate is sealed.

In time, other Armored Riders appear, all vying for social power throughout town, including Team Baron's leader Kaito Kumon, Kouta's Team Gaim teammate Mitsuzane Kureshima, Team Raid Wild's Ryoji Hase, the scheming Hideyasu Jonouchi of Team Invitto, and the perfectionist ex-soldier Oren Pierre Alfonzo. Unbeknownst to them is that Mitsuzane's older brother Takatora Kureshima, the head of R&D at the Yggdrasill Corporation, is the enigmatic white Armored Rider Zangetsu who is protecting a dark secret hidden in Helheim Forest at any cost while using them and Inves Games for research. Eventually, when Kouta confronts Takatora as he and members of his company become New Generation Armored Riders, he learns the horrible truth of Helheim Forest and finds himself in the middle of a Sengoku period-like brawl among various factions for the right to possess the power of Helheim Forest and the fate of life on Earth as he knows it.

Video games

A PlayStation 3 sequel to Kamen Rider: Battride War titled Kamen Rider: Battride War II (仮面ライダー バトライド・ウォーII, Kamen Raidā Batoraido Wō Tsū) will be released on June 26, 2014. It will feature characters from Gaim as well as characters and scenarios based on the recent Kamen Rider series films. A limited edition version of the game featuring music from the TV series and films will also be released.[6]

Production and development

The lead character Kamen Rider Gaim in his standard form known as "Orange Arms". The design of this form comes from Japanese armor and the orange.

Trademarks on Kamen Rider Gaim were requested in May 2013, and the show was officially announced on July 25, 2013.[7] The series producer, Naomi Takebe, wanted Gaim to return to the style of early Heisei era series, in which multiple Riders are featured. Drawing inspiration fron the Sengoku period, Bandai presented the idea of using fruits as a core theme to Takebe, which led to the creation of the Arms Change. Takebe approached Gen Urobuchi, known for Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Fate/Zero, to serve as the series main writer, and Ryuta Tasaki, who had previously worked on Kamen Rider Agito and Kamen Rider Ryuki, to direct. In an interview, Urobuchi states that Takebe requested that the series not follow the two-episode structure of recent series, as well as saying that he hopes to create the same kind of excitement he felt from Kamen Rider Black to a new generation. Urobuchi's company Nitroplus also assisted with designs.[8]

The show's lead role went to 2011 Junon Super Boy Contest Grand Prix winner Gaku Sano, portraying Kouta Kazuraba. Sano said that he grew up wishing he could be the character from Kamen Rider Kuuga, and now that he will portray Kamen Rider Gaim he hopes that he will inspire a new generation of boys.[9][10] Rounding out the main cast are Yutaka Kobayashi as Kaito Kumon/Kamen Rider Baron, Mahiro Takasugi as Mitsuzane Kureshima/Kamen Rider Ryugen, Yuumi Shida from idol group Yumemiru Adolescence as the heroine Mai Takatsukasa, and Yuki Kubota as Takatora Kureshima/Kamen Rider Zangetsu.[9][10][11][12]

Theme songs

Opening theme
  • "Just Live More"
    Reggae group Shōnan no Kaze provides the series' theme song, performing under the name "Gaim no Kaze".[11] Red Rice felt honored that he would join the ranks of famous artists who have performed the series' theme songs. Shock Eye revealed he had long been a fan of the series as a child, and even in adulthood. Wakadanna spoke of how he liked the motorcycles and as a child wished he had one as well, as the show seems to have instilled a fighting spirit in those who watch it. Han-kun was jokingly critical about the show's fruit motif, but then said that he knew children would love the show.[12]
