this is my favorite Japanese story.....
SYNOPSIS :
this story tells about The Smart Brain corporation, the
world's most powerful corporation, is trying to take over the world using Orphnoch,
the next stage in humanity's evolution, to covertly kill off the human
population. In pursuit of this, they develop three suits of power armor, called
Rider Gear (Delta, Faiz and Kaixa), to find and protect the Orphnoch King, who can fix a
defect within Orphnoch DNA which causes their genetic structure to break down,
leading to death.
The Rider Gears are stolen by
Hanagata, the Goat Orphnoch and former chief of Smart Brain. He sends them to
his foster children (dubbed the Ryuseiji, after the school they attended) so
they can stop the Orphnoch from achieving their goal. However, Rider Gears were
designed to be worn by Orphnoch, and humans are unable to activate the systems
without undergoing genetic modification.
A young loner, Takumi Inui, is
unwittingly drawn into the conflict between the Orphnoch and humans and becomes kamen rider Faiz to save the life of Mari Sonoda, one of the Ryuseiji. The
Smart Brain begins targeting him in an attempt to retrieve the Faiz Gear.
However, there is division amongst
the Orphnoch, as those who wish to co-exist with humans rather than kill them,
begin resisting the Smart Brain, who in turn targets them as well. Most of
these "renegade" Orphnochs are either killed, remain neutral or begin
siding with the Ryuseiji against the Smart Brain.
When the Tokyo police discover the
Orphnoch are behind a series of bizarre murders, they begin operations to
defeat the creatures, largely unaware of the various factions involved. They
even begin performing experiments on captured Orphnoch in an attempt to find
ways of destroying them, though this does not go well.
The Orphnoch King eventually awakens
within a young boy named Teruo Suzuki, whom Naoya Kaido and Keitaro Kikuchi
saved and befriended. Now, it is up to the holders of the Rider Gears to
band together and fight for humanity's survival.
