Kamen Rider Faiz 20th: Paradise Regained Revealed
 

We're getting a new Faiz film next year. Complete with a new, upgraded base suit.

Will it be a sequel to the AU of Paradise Lost? It's own thing? Who knows.

Is that a GN Condenser strapped onto Faiz's chest?

Cool, although I don't particularly like the costume. It looks like the rider is wearing armor a couple of sizes too big. Well, given that Takumi was already dying, I hope the history of OOO does not happen again.

YOOOOO!!!!! :rock:
Okay, so this new look seems like armor is added onto the base Faiz suit. And Takumi finally switched to 5G I guess. :lolol

Toshiki Inoue is returning to write, and Ryuta Tasaki is returning to direct.

So far, Kento Handa, Yuria Haga. Kohei Murakami, and Mitsuru Karahashi are confirmed to return.

He finally upgraded to a smart phone!

Looks really cool! The armor for the chest is a bit boxy, but overall it's really great.

I wonder if this is another AU story for 555, or a continuation of the main series or Paradise Lost.

Also, since Kaixa is in this this would be the perfect time for a new/final Kaixa form. At this point he is one of the only secondaries without one.

Yesterday, Shinobi. Today, Faiz. Man, what a week!

My eyes are open.

I don't normally pay much heed to these kinds of supplemental materials released years after a show ended but... dammit I gotta watch this one. I can't pass up on seeing my boy Takumi's perpetual suffering.

I was just wondering to myself if we'd ever see Takumi or Faiz again, but I never expected we'd get a whole 20th anniversary special!!!

Looking forward to seeing what they do with it and what craziness Inoue will deliver for this Faiz follow-up. I hope they acknowledge/honor Kiba.

(And, I mean, there was no way Kusaka and Kaido weren't going to be in it).

Didn't Faiz die in one of the movies a few years back?

That's right. Takumi revealed that he died from his accelerated mutation decay at some point between Faiz's finale and Kamen Rider 4.

Considering the title of the 20th anniversary movie though, it sounds like it could be in continuity with Paradise Lost.

Which in all honesty is kind of odd, given that Kaixa died in Paradise Lost, but is specifically back for this. I guess either there will be situations with flashbacks, or this film will be either a new continuity altogether, or maybe there will be a plot point of reviving past riders/orphonochs (which would be in theme with the "Regained" title of this film).

That wasn't written by Inoue, though, so I think it's safe to assume that it won't be canon for this project. Of course, given that Kusaka is in it despite dying in both the series and the movie, it's hard to guess how this will fit with anything until we see it for ourselves.

You can come up with a million reasons why any character comes back to life. How many times have Ankh and Genm died?

Everyone knows characters never everrrrr come back to life in tokusatsu! :lolol

No shot Takumi is making it out of this alive.

Looks interesting. Cool how he’s finally getting his tech updated to a more recent model. And not to nitpick, but ‘Paradise Found’ would’ve rolled off the tongue far better than ‘Paradise Regained’.

I was certainly not expecting this, or at least, not to this extent.

New form? Most of the old gang back together? Wow, I should really get around to watching more of the older shows, especially Faiz.

But for now, I absolutely love the new form! I'm personally a fan of it's bulkiness and sleekness of its upgraded tech. It almost feels like the 2016 Ichigo design which is another reason why I love it.

They already killed him off once and already pulled an anniversary Rider death, I don't know if we need a repeat.

As long as we get to see Kusaka die a 4th (or would it be 5th?) time, I'm happy. Was heartbroken that Murakami came back for both a two parter and an post-series movie during Zi-O and didn't even die again once!

This shouldn't really have been that surprising, but oh wow... Based on the name, it sounds like this could be a sequel to Paradise Lost.

I just hope they can pull this off. Even with all its flaws, Faiz is such a beloved series, even being voted Japan's favorite Heisei Rider series.

i am excite. Faiz one of my favorite Heisei series.

New images of the new Faiz suit up close.

It's growing on me.

It seems likely but I can also picture them pulling a Ryuki Rider Time with it and create another world where things turned out differently. If neither of the two then maybe it could just be an epilogue to the TV show.

A visor on top of a visor. Genius.

Looks better than Faiz Blaster IMO. Those are some Gundam-ass shoulders. The added visor makes those eyes (/monoeye?) look HUGE! The belt looks a bit cheap and reminds me of SCUBA diving equipment from Mares.

Overall I do like it, and it definitely still feels like Faiz.

hope the new suit includes Accel and Blaster features.

But the sequel to the original poem was called Paradise Regain’d.

Ah. Didn't realise that the original poem had a sequel. Though I still stand by Paradise Found sounding better.

New Kaixa form revealed, my mans will never stay dead. Also Kusaka's actor made a post saying there will be a limited screening of the film on February 2nd.

Interesting decision to like, flip the crusher mouthplate pattern upside down like that. Kinda throws me off a bit actually.

Wonder if Delta will get the same treatment.

Kusaka returns!!!

Now Ibuki is the only Secondary Rider without a Final Form.

I hope they fit in Delta.

Liking the new Kaixa more than the new Faiz. Very curious to see how they make this work in the story.

Interesting how the slogan next to Kaixa is Takumi's famous line from the show (The I "will live as Faiz" line) only difference being it replaces Faiz with Kaixa. Side note, love how they pretty much gave Kaixa Gao Blue's tonfas. :lolol
And in case anyone forgot it's Kaixa Day y'all. :lolol

Cool. He somehow has better proportions than Faiz, although maybe this is due to the photoshop on the poster. In any case, the overall style of the final forms looks great, making the film feel more like a remake than an epilogue.

Looks like we're getting a TTFC miniseries to go along with the film. Apparently it involves Kusaka trying to solve a murder, with the other returning characters as the suspects. Definitely no way this ends badly.

As a Kamen Rider fan who has never gotten into nor finished Faiz, I am forever resigned to wondering why these goobers come back every 5 years despite them all apparently dying or something...
