Here's what I've got so far in the story from 1-3.


This is Tachibana, AKA Kamen Rider Garren. He is a researcher for BOARD/Humanity's Foundation who was fitted for the Rider System in order to battle to Undead. He's a mentor to Kenzaki, and unfortunately, has a problem where he want's to Hulk out, which I haven't quite figured out...ohhhhh...that's their version of becoming evil...right.


This is Kenzaki, AKA Kamen Rider Blade. So far he screams. A lot. We have learned that he was scouted for the Rider System to assist Tachibana. His family was killed when he was a young boy, and he's got some serious issues. That he has to scream about.


This is Hajime, AKA Kamen Rider Chalice. He speaks the language of the Undead, but why? And why does he have strange urges?


This is Sayoko, a nurse. She was Tachibana's girlfriend in college, and he comes to her for comfort from the haunting visions he has of turning evil.


This is Kotaro, he's an aspiring journalist, who has been researching the Riders, and the appearances of the Undead.


This is Haruka, she's the sister of Kotaro, and owns the Jacaranda Cafe. She lost her husband at an early age.


This is Amane, prerequisite cute kid of the series, and Haruka's daughter.


This is Hirose. She is one of Humanity's Foundation technicians. She managed to survive when BOARD was destroyed. She's attempting to find the Chief.

Next to her is the Chief. For someone in charge, who just had his whole operation destroyed in the first 25 minutes, he's not that good at his job is he? The chief doesn't do a very good impression of Obi Wan Kenobi, does he?

Watching the first three episodes I had a hard time trying to figure out where everyone's place is in the series, moreso for Tachibana and Hajime. Now after I've seen 4-6, it makes more sense since the Chief gives his spiritual synopsis of what the Undead are, and why the Riders exist in their world. It's just started to get interesting, with the shadow organization, and how Kenzaki is having to adapt fast to getting stronger against the Undead.

Chalice is a complete badass. I like his mix of weapon and card system.

Amane though in episode 5 I felt was actually annoying. She didn't need to get herself in the danger she was in, and Kenzaki kind of got his butt kicked for no reason other than to make Tachibana feel better about himself. Got yourself some selfish supporting characters there Blade.
