whaaaaaaaaat in the hell is happening in this climax deka movie

honestly not sure if i missed something huge between "ryotaro is waving goodbye to his friends after turning in his denpass" and "now they are all cops with desks"

really don't think i did, but, like

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat the hell

Climax Deka is... a movie! It's definitely a movie. I can say that about it

doubtful

about eighty percent sure it's a fever dream conjured up from my memories about den-o and my general anxiety about the state of policing in america

pretty sure i just watched ryuta perform a "comedic" profiling

Yeah, some of the stuff in this has not aged well. "They don't need searches or warrants."

no, it's okay, ryotaro is just apprehending two strangers in a park for acting suspiciously, a.k.a. they would prefer not to be apprehended by the police for being strangers

this thing's going great, you guys

If you look closely, at the latter half of the movie you can see Hajime/Chalice.

Also, he apparently deputized Ryuta's back-up dancers?

kobayashi: hey so what's kiva gonna be about, i'm writing this crossover movie

inoue: oh, it's about this kid who never met his dad, but he feels as though doing the same thing brings him closer

kobayashi: cool, that's all i needed

inoue: but there's also--

kobayashi: did you miss where i said "cool, that's all i needed"
