Shin Kamen Rider (2023)
Those which change. Those which never change. And those that don't want to change.
A man forced to bear power and stripped of humanity. A woman skeptical of happiness. Takeshi Hongo, an Augmentation made by SHOCKER, and Ruriko Midorikawa, a rebel of the organization, escape while fighting off assassins. What’s justice? What’s evil? Will this violence end? Despite his power, Hongo tries to remain human. Along with freedom, Ruriko has regained a heart. What paths will they choose?
Shin Kamen Rider keeps every mind human — it fights its subject at zero distance. The story fights on E8/E11 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing technology, identity, power, control, mortality.
