After a celebration of Kaixa Day last month, we finally got a look at what will be coming our way for the 20th Anniversary Project titled Kamen Rider 555: Paradise Regained. A new trailer and visual were released, featuring a new rider, the return of SMART BRAIN, Kitazaki, and updated gear for FAIZ and Kaixa.
In the new trailer, SMART BRAIN made its return with a new leader Kitazaki (Ray Fujita returning to reprise his role) leading a new operation to eliminate all Orphnoch life. Masato and Mari must once again return to take down SMART BRAIN and stop the extinction of Orphnochs! Also, a new Kamen Rider will make an appearance in the film, Kamen Rider Muez. Her alter-ego, Reina Kurumi (Rumika Fukuda) will also be making an appearance in the upcoming TTFC (Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club) special, Kamen Rider 555: Murder Case.
It will feature the return of Kento Handa as Takumi, Yuria Haga as Mari, and Kohei Murakami as Kusaka. Also, the new film will feature an upgraded Faiz Suit, the Auto Vajin, and the return of the Wolf Orphnoch. Two Tokusatsu Creative veterans make their return for the anniversary project. Ryuta Tasaki will be directing the film, and Toshiki Inoue will handle the script. Kamen Rider Faiz: Paradise Regained will serve as a sequel to the original series, taking place twenty years after the TV Series Finale. It will premiere in Japanese theaters for a limited-time screening as part of the V-CINEXT Promotion on February 2nd, 2024, and DVD/Blu-Ray on May 29th, 2024. Shotaro Ishinomori has also been included in the credits as The Series’ Original Creator. ISSA will perform a new song for the film- titled IdentiFaiz.
