Plot:
The sixth work of the Kamen Rider series in the Heisei era. It is a new generation of special effects work made by Toei to commemorate another comic work "Ninja Arashi" by the original author of Kamen Rider, Shotaro Ishimori. Hibiki was originally named "Sound Warrior Hibiki", but was later renamed "Kamen Rider Hibiki" at Bandai's request. The Kamen Rider in this film is no longer based on insects or animals, but uses the most traditional legendary "ghost" in Japan, but retains some of the modeling characteristics of the Showa Rider, and the narrative style is similar to the first Heisei Rider "Kamen Rider Kuuga". Since ancient times in Japan, there have been people who practiced in the mountains to gain enlightenment. They accidentally transformed into alien forms - ghosts. As ghosts, they possessed extraordinary powers and protected humans from the attacks of the monster "Magic Goblin". Because of this, they were worshiped as ghosts and gods. Gradually, the ghosts systematized their abilities and divided them into schools that could be inherited. The ghosts and the humans who had been rescued by the ghosts and assisted them formed a school called "Warriors". They used various sound weapons caused by "purification sound" to continue to fight against the "Magic Goblin". Under the name of "complete rebirth", this work, the sixth work in the series "Masked Rider Hibiki", is very different from the "Heisei Kamen Rider" style so far. This work actively incorporates "Japanese style" elements. In addition, in addition to Kamen Rider, the subjective viewpoint character that promotes the story is set to a boy named Adachi Asume. With "heroes and boys" as the theme, the description of the boy who grows up because of the interaction with the hero is the characteristic of the work. The "ghosts", including Hibiki, who is equivalent to the hero (the name "Kamen Rider" is not used in the play), are "transformed" by people who have obtained the power of "ghosts" after strict training. The strong body and the appearance of horns on the head really give people the feeling that this is a "ghost", which is far different from the so-called "Kamen Rider" image. In addition, Hibiki, who transformed into a demon, is set to be a warrior who has been experienced in many battles before the story begins. Until the previous works, the casting of the protagonist Kamen Rider was centered on young actors, but this work is starred by middle-aged actor Shigeki Hosokawa. Then, the opponent of the demons is the "demonized monsters" that are called "monsters" in the world. The "demonized monsters" that appear in various places such as mountains, seas, and cities to attack humans can only be defeated by the "sound attack" of pure sound. The existence that can emit this "sound attack" = demons. Sound attacks are roughly classified into "sound attacks" made by playing drums or cymbals, "sound attacks" made by playing flutes or trumpets, and "sound attacks" made by string instruments such as guitars. The ghosts use their own different sound attack weapons to make sound attacks to defeat the demonized monsters. In other words, the special move = sound attack, rather than using striking techniques such as kicking or punching. This can also be said to be one of the characteristics of this work. The existence of a support organization "Warriors" that supports the "ghosts" at various levels, such as intelligence collection and movement, the development of sound shikigami and sound attack weapons, is also a feature of this work. The "Warriors", which are headquartered in Yoshino and have branches all over Japan, have detailed settings such as organizational systems and responsible areas. Fighting ghosts and demonized monsters is considered a job, and even work schedules are prepared for ghosts. The delicate setting of the world view has become the charm of this work. In addition, among these elements, the "form transformation" that can be said to be a feature of the Heisei Kamen Rider series is also adopted in this work. The red Hibiki "Hibiki Red" is a new form that Hibiki has transformed into after undergoing more rigorous training and improving his own flame energy. In addition, no matter what form it becomes, the "sound attack" used to defeat the demonized monster has not changed. This work is not limited by existing concepts and has launched a new style of work. This has something in common with "Kamen Rider Amazon" in the Showa era. In this sense, it is enough to say that this work has set a model in the history of special effects heroes. Adachi Asume is a third-year junior high school student who is confused about his studies and ideals. On the way back to his hometown with his mother to attend a religious ceremony, he met a mysterious man. He saved a child with incredible methods and attracted Adachi Asume's attention. As a result, Adachi gradually intervened in a world he didn't know at all as an ordinary child... This is the world of demon warriors... What kind of people and things will he meet here, and what impact will it have on Adachi Asume's life...
