Well as promised, here’s the post-show media and its various divergences on what happens next. Your mileage may vary on which is better.

But first, in honour of my recurring thread throughout this video, here’s a video for a collection of all the Rouse Cards in the show. https://youtu.be/h5p-VpA90Tg

Day After Tomorrow by Masato Hayase (Character designer for the majority of Heisei Riders and Shotaro Ishinimori’s former assistant)


It has been a year since Kazuma Kenzaki transformed into Navy Joker and everyone is throwing a graduation party for Mutsuki and Nozomi. It was supposedly to celebrate them for getting into university but Mutsuki didn’t. All of all sudden, Blade bursts in from the front door and attacks Hajime.


Everyone is confused but then Garren shows up in the window and starts firing at Blade. He explains that he and Chief Karasuma were conducting on a research on how to turn Kenzaki and Hajime into humans by unsealing the Chameleon Undead, an Undead with similar powers to the Joker allowing it to copy the form and ability of anything it sees, and tries to copy this ability to the Jokers. However, it escaped and transforms into an imitation of Kamen Rider Blade by using the the BOARD data that he had stolen while chasing after Hajime due to his nature of being a Battle Fight competitor.


Tachibana hands over Hajime and Mutsuki’s cards and the Leangle Rouzer as they fight the fake Blade, but it transforms into Jack Form. Mutsuki remains useless as none of his powers grants him the ability to fly.


Tachibana warns Hajime as the Chameleon Undead has all of the BOARD data making it easy for him to fight. The Chameleon Undead transforms into King Form and finishes off the Riders.
With all of hope seems lost, Hajime even forced himself to evolve into Joker Undead but the fake Rider itself outsmarts him leaving a heavy wound on his chest.
As the Rider about to finish Leangle, Joker steps in and takes the blow. At first he thinks that it was Hajime/Chalice but it has no slash mark and he was lying after sustaining the damage on its chest.
Tachibana quickly tosses the Joker the Blay Buckle, Rouse Absorber and the Suit of Spades Rouse Cards in understanding.


After the Chameleon Undead has been defeated and sealed, all of Blade's items were left neatly on the floor.
Nozomi arrives late for the party, and tells Mutsuki that a letter arrived written that he did manage to get into university after all.

As latter explained, Haruka Kurihara and Amane Kurihara went to Amane's father grave, and Kotaro Shirai currently on his trip to find information for his new book. Hajime starts to flashback about his relationship with Kazuma Kenzaki and thinking about the way he chose to live.

Young man wished him good luck on tomorrow's event, only to be answered to prepare umbrellas in case of sudden rain. Young man had no doubt in Mutsuki's weather prognosis as they are known as pretty accurate. Suddenly, there was a little girl in front of truck, who was saved by Mutsuki. Young man is amazed by Kamijo and walked with him to the office, where Mutsuki started to remembering his teenage years with BOARD Riders. Young man then smiled and told Mutsuki to not overdo with his job.

Episodes 3 and onwards synopsis unavailable.

Twilight by Sho Aikawa (Writer: Jikuu Senshi Spielban, Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger, Juken Sentai Gekiranger, Engine Sentai Go-Onger, Kamen Rider Wizard, Ressha Sentai ToQger. Head writer: Kamen Rider Blade (ep. 29-49), GoGo Sentai Boukenger, Kamen Rider Decade (Ep 1-13)


The story is about a dying old woman (Amane) who tells her grandson the story of the four*Kamen Riders. The story covered what happened to the four*after Kenzaki went missing after his fight with Hajime.
Hajime lurks around Amane, and stayed by her side during her last moments. He looked exactly the same as when they first met. Mutsuki Kamijo, Shiori Hirose, and Kotaro Shirai died due to old age. Kotaro's book about Kamen Rider was so popular that it later became a TV drama and merchandise, which made a lot of money for the Kurihara family.
Tachibana became the head of the BOARD. He kept on researching the Undeads and did experiments on himself. He gained long longevity from his research and kept an eye on the two*Jokers. He is also Amane's health insurance benefactor.
Tachibana found information about an unknown beast attacking an armed insurgency in Africa. The beast was trying to keep homeless kids safe from the war zone. That beast is likely to be Kenzaki in his Joker form.




Kamen Rider Blade (novel) by Jun’ichi Miyashita (Writer: Kamen Rider Black, Kamen Rider Black RX, Tokkei Winspector, Tokyuu Shirei Solbrain, B-Robo Kabutack, Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack, Kyukyu Sentai GoGoV, Kamen Rider Blade, Engine Sentai Go-Onger. Head writer: Shin: Kamen Rider Prologue, Tokusou Exceedraft, Tokusou Robo Janperson, Blue SWAT, Jukkou B-Fighter, B-Fighter Kabuto, Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger)


This sequel to the TV series*takes place 300 years following the television series finale. It chronicles Kenzaki's quest to end his life as the Navy Joker*after three centuries. In one instance, Kenzaki is captured by a criminal organization and is tortured, but still does not die.
Later in the novel, he becomes a war photographer, all he sees is death. He then enlists in the army for a foreign country, steps on landmines and explodes. Also named are the new Garren and Leangle, Tachihara and Satsuki.
Also, the only returning characters are Kenzaki and Hajime. Kenzaki has a weaker personality compared to the TV Series due to living for a long time and seeing a lot of horrible things. Satsuki, the new Leangle's treated the same like the original Leangle, Mutsuki. He is left behind.


Kazuma's cynicism has overridden him. Having lived for so long through countless wars and battles without anyone to rely on, this Kazuma became hopeless and defeated, often trying to find ways to kill himself and failing every time due to becoming the Joker Undead. This Kazuma had lost sight of himself and the meaning of his actions as his own death would mean the end of humanity and other life on Earth. During the novel, Kazuma becomes an amnesiac due to the manipulations by the Stone of Sealing, helping him fight again as a Kamen Rider. Yet as time passed by, Kazuma slowly regained his memories and began losing his sanity once more. Before the final fight, the Stone of Sealing used Kazuma's diminishing sanity against him and caused him to turn into the Darkness Undead. It was only by Hajime's actions as the Crimson Undead that Kazuma broke free from the Stone of Sealing's influence, restoring his sanity in the process. Once the Battle Fight had ended once and for all, Kazuma no longer felt burdened as the second Joker Undead, as he was now freed from his Undead instincts.

Random tweet by Takayuki Tsubaki (the actor of Kazuma Kenzaki/Blade)


"Tachibana-san went to teach him (Mutsuki) how to count to 3!? Garren's Rider System is same as me, but it's much more beautiful. I'm [still] under the influence of Joker's power..."

And I’ll say this now. I won’t be doing anymore recurring threads until Kiva (maybe Den-O), so for now, I’ll just be a drop-in, voicing my thoughts and sharing random trivia.
