I felt the need to have an actual discussion thread regarding these stunning new developments.
Is anyone really stoked to finally get a sequel to Kuuga that's written by Arakawa Naruhisa after almost 13 years? My jaw literally dropped at the sort of possibilities something like this could offer. While the drama version may have certain restraints due to CGI costs, budgets, violence etc, in written form these limits are nothing and we could get some really spectacular stories from these things!
I'm also eagerly anticipating a Agito and Ryuki sequel that will hopefully be written by Inoue and Kobayashi. And maybe a Faiz too, so we can see what really happened after Takumi 'killed' the Orphenoch King. I'm really disappointed that Kobayashi isn't writing a sequel to OOO as I feel like only she could write something for Ankh's revival that'd be really good, but she has Jojo's Bizarre Adventure so...
Plus we'll probably see how Ankh gets revived in the OOO sequel novel as well! I might actually read these books!
Anyways. Feel free to discuss this among yourselves. I for one am incredibly stoked to know what happens to our heroes beyond the television storyline.
- Per front page translation by HJU's own DecaEnd.The novels will be released four at that time on three different occasions. The first batch covers Kamen Rider Kuuga, Kamen Rider Kabuto, Kamen Rider W and Kamen Rider OOO. Naruhisa Arakawa has worked on over 20 Tokusatsu series for Toei, his recent work was in Akibaranger and Daimajin Kanon, he previously worked on the Kuuga show as a writer and will return to write the novel for Kuuga. Kabuto’s main writer, Shoji Yonemura, who has also worked on plenty of anime and tokusatsu series will write the Kabuto novel. Riku Sanjo will be back to write the W novel. While most novels will be written by their respective main writers, OOO’s novel will not be written by Yasuko Kobayashi, instead it will be written by Nobuhiro Mori, who only wrote 6 episodes for OOO (22-23, 33-36.) Den-O will be written by the producer Shinichiro Shirakura.
Sho Aikawa, the main writer for Kamen Rider Blade, tweeted that he would not be writing the Blade novel. He did receive an offer, but it was eventually cancelled.
The novels will feature the main characters, Yusuke Godai, Souji Tendo, Shotaro Hidari and Phillip and Eiji Hino and Ankh, from their respective series, in new settings that haven’t been told in the TV series. In Kamen Rider W’s novel, a new Rider by the name of Kamen Rider Cyclone will appear.
The first batch of novels will be released November 30 at the price, 650 yen.
