Well, enough people have commented, time for part two of my post, featuring cast trivia and the skit for the movie.

Starting off with the villains, Azuma is played by Kane Kosugi, who was previously Kenichi Kai, star of the American produced Ultra series (which ironically, was too expensive to air in America) Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero, and Jiraiya/Ninja Black of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. With this, he was the first actor to transform in all three franchises (while two more have since attained that status, they’re still beaten out by the actress who played Sawa in Build, since she also had major roles in Ultraman and Metal Heroes, in addition to a Sentai guest spot)

Chic is voiced by Shingo Fujimori, the voice of ALMOST every belt and stamp in Revice. Which, considering he’s the demon born from the two guys who built most of the Revice Rider gear, it makes sense.

And Minami, the one female among the hired help, is played by Meiku Harukawa, one of Sakamoto’s regulars over in Ultra (she was a villain of the week in Ginga S, a supporting character in Trigger and one of the bad guys in Regulos)

In addition, to Kosugi, we have two more Kakuranger alumnus in Birth of Chimera, in the form of Teruaki Ogawa (Sasuke/Ninja Red), who plays Dr. Soutomi while he’s alive and in control (after Chic takes over, so does a new actor) and Satomi Hirose (Tsuruhime/Ninja White) as Nozomum (a joke that works best for Brits). Taikawa is also an alumnus, by technicality of having suit acted Ninja Red.

And speaking of Taikawa, his whole family appears in this. His wife Rie (who incidentally, was Ninja White’s suit actress) is one of the fleeing extras, while his son Shinta (previosuly the younger version of one of the Hell Bros from Build) is the poor sod who tries the Chimera Driver offscreen and turns into a demon.

And for the movie itself, the pregnant woman I maligned is Haruka Tateishi, who may be better known as Amu /ZyuohTiger from Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger (and considering that the Donbrothers movie also had a former White heroine and a former Ninja warrior in the cast, I may have commented on the similarity somewhere).

And now, the Movie skit.

Chic: It’s Chic and…

Azuma: (unmotivated) Azuma’s…

Both: Stamp Navi!

Azuma: Do I really have to do this?

Chic: Yes. All of these features have had two hosts, and Tony, Hakim and the other lady already turned me down. So let’s get on with the talk about this stamp. Giff! (Laughs) My voice sounds a lot like the Vistamps, don’t you think?

Azuma: This Vistamp is the original, containing Giff’s DNA. Centuries ago, it sealed him away and granted me immortality. It was later used as the basis for all other Vistamps.

Chic: Of course, this isn’t the real Giff Stamp. Just a copy we made with the genes we extracted from the Igarashi kids. We’re going to use it to turn more willing converts into Demons.

Azuma: I thought our plan was to create an army of immortal Kamen Riders using the Chimera Driver.

Chic: Oh don’t be silly, we need Giff’s DNA to grant people immortality.

Azuma: Yes. And we have his DNA, with the Giff Eye in the Chimera Driver. You told me it would restore my immortality.

Chic: Did I?

Azuma: Yes. In that special where I killed that Nozomu kid’s parents.

Chic: It was so long ago…

Azuma: It was last week.

(George turns the video off)

George: Well, this diversion with these two was amazing, but ultimately a waste of time. The Igarashi kids got got a new form, but barely tapped its full potential. And that Nozomu kid gave up his goal with way too much ease. Anyway, it’s time that I move ahead with the culmination of my work.

(He reveals the Chimera Driver, which he attaches a yellow screen to)

Juuga Driver!

George: Next time, I’ll show off the Ultimate Driver, one that doesn’t use the power of Demons Daddy was so proud of.

Credit to En-chan for suggesting I do the Giff stamp at this point.
