10 Episodes of Season 1 since launched October 28th on amazon.co.jp (Rated "18+"), and I've screengrabs of the episodes, and trailers to share. I've had this in my folders for quite some time now, but alas could not wrap my head around this, until seeing the character designs and imagining the "TOYS", actually! Scroll thru for more ... :)



SERIES PLOT: "King Genesis - the pinnacle of Kaijin. At the end of his life, the elected Century King will inherit his power.

The year is 2022. Half a century has passed since the government declared the coexistence of humans and Kaijin. In times of chaos, a girl named Aoi Izumi, a young human rights activist who appeals for the abolition of discrimination, meets a man. Kotaro Minami, the candidate for the next King Genesis and a byproduct of the "Black Sun"'s existence.

The truth about King Genesis and the Kaijin hidden within 50 years of history, and another imprisoned King Genesis candidate, Shadowmoon, AKA Nobuhiko Akizuki. His encounter and reunion with Kotaro will eventually break the status quo within society.". (kamenrider.fandom.com)
