Video : Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai
A long time ago, there was a valiant swordsman who came to be known simply as "the hero." There was a demon who has caused people suffering. The hero and his companions arrived to challenge the demon to a battle and by combining their powers, the battle was brought swift conclusion. With no one around to cause trouble, the island became a quiet place where everyone could live together in peace.
Several years later, the demon is revived. Our present-day protagonist, Dai, lives on a remote island in the southern seas and dreams of becoming a great hero. When he hears about the demon's revival, Dai and his friends take it upon themselves to stop him and the evil force that revived him. Along the way, Dai discovers the identity of "the hero," the truth behind the evil force who revived the demon, and Dai's own hidden powers that surface in times of peril.
For over five decades, 'Kamen Rider' has stood as an emblem of courage, justice, and thrilling adventure in the realm of Japanese television. With its inception in 1971 by the visionary manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori, this franchise has evolved into a cultural phenomenon that includes numerous TV shows, films, manga, and anime. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the world of tokusatsu (special filming), 'Kamen Rider' promises an exhilarating experience worth every moment of your time.
The core narrative of 'Kamen Rider' revolves around a motorcycle-riding hero who battles malevolent forces using their own technology against them. The original series follows college student Takeshi Hongo, portrayed by Hiroshi Fujioka, who is abducted by the evil Shocker organization and transformed into a cyborg. Escaping before they can brainwash him, Takeshi becomes Kamen Rider #1 and dedicates his life to thwarting Shocker's nefarious plans. The gripping storyline not only set the tone for future installments but also captivated audiences with its blend of action, drama, and science fiction.
One cannot discuss 'Kamen Rider' without highlighting its rich ensemble cast. Alongside Fujioka's iconic portrayal are memorable characters such as Hayato Ichimonji (Takeshi Sasaki), another heroic Kamen Rider who joins Hongo in his fight against evil; Tobei Tachibana (小林昭二), played by Akiji Kobayashi; and the enigmatic narrations by Shinji Nakae and 納谷悟朗. These characters bring depth and diversity to the series, making each episode a unique experience filled with suspense and excitement.
