Art as a Ministry

Last week on a Saturday Night. I was tasked to do a sharing to the youths aged 13 -17 and slightly above in my Church’s Youth Group and...it got me in this strange state of nostalgia.

In my bedroom, tucked away in the darkest depths of my wardrobe is a dusty old folder that contains the many drawings that I made when I was fifteen-years-old. A time capsule of a few years past to my very first drawing.

A drawing of The Warcraft character, Anub'arak; on a bad sheet of science paper.

In this post, I like to share a little more about my background and showcase what this gremlin (Me) used to draw in his younger years that turned from a hobby, to a ministry. I shared in bread crumbs from past posts that I am raised as a Christian but here’s a mildly detailed origin.

- Youth Group Days -

Like most Christian kids, I attended Kids Church on Sunday morning and followed my grandmother back home after Service. By the time I turned thirteen, I was approached by one of the teachers who asked if I was interested to join our Saturday night Youth Group meetings for fellowship and Bible studies. Which I agreed, just to give it a try.

As I appear more and more in these meetings, I started getting attention from the seniors and elders. Which got me more involved in other church activities.

From Cell Group Meetings with some elders to joining our local choir and worship team. I also attended our annual year end youth camp with youths from around the country. If you wish to know a tad bit more. I’m a Methodist.

Our church is also involved with ministering to the neighborhood. We would visit and minister to them, hear their needs and provide, do fun activities with the kids while the adults have their service and all that community stuff. It was tons of fun and I got to meet a color of adults from many backgrounds and opinions. Sadly, I’ve learned that as much as I loved all this experience and act of service, its just not for me.

- The One Consistent Thing -

I kept doing in my spare time was my hobby, drawing. I loved drawing because it felt like therapy. It kept me still and focused and helped me channel my energy on an empty sheet of paper with the reward of completing and posting it up for friends and strangers to see.

I talked briefly before about how a friend of mine, Richie. Recommended that I set up a DeviantART account so that I could make connections with other like minded people and perhaps use the space to develop my skills but as some of you may have already know, [It met its demise this year]

Nevertheless, it was a fun platform to try my hand in drawing and sharing. My first stepping stone for the path to come. I would draw Robots, Romance (which I will not show cause its cringe) Pop Culture stuff and things that interest me.

Even from an early age, Anime/ Manga was my inspiration. The big shiny eyes, the crazy Shōnen action, the interesting super powers and the cool or pretty character designs. All amazingly illustrated by its respective artists in a scene or in a panel. In some sense, it was my muse but nothing was Scripture related.

Until one of our seniors brought the physical cover of The Manga Bible Series.

Illustrated by two artists, Kelly Kozumi Shinozawa and Ryō Azumi. In their respective volumes, the Manga illustrates the events from the Bible. From the chapters of the Old Testament to the New Testament. The most popular volume of them all is, < Manga Messiah > which depicts the life of Jesus or as the manga calls him; Yeshua.

I loved their art style so much that I begun to imitate them in my own creation which I would share in another post. What you need to know for now is that, this Manga series was what got me started to turn my hobby into something more.

- After School and Later -

My tiny planet of paper and pencil grew in quantity till I finished school. I pursued Multimedia Design in college which lead to my interest to do Digital art and Graphic Design.

On social media, I get to meet and chat with other artists of all kinds. Some of them do art as a way of earning money and several of them use it as a ministry. Most of them are aspiring small time artists who started as fan artists of an existing property that eventually grew into a style and craft of their own.

As time went on, I gained confidence in my work, received exposure of other styles and developed an audience of my own. I would also do this thing where I flip back and forth. Posting stuff that is pop culture related to subjects that is bible based.

I wasn’t much of a trend chaser but rather, I was a lurker. I observed how my friends did things and studied their interactions with followers. I studied the art community’s culture and language through platforms like Instagram. I practiced and posted as often as I could. Despite the low count and interaction, I kept going regardless.

Was it polished and perfect like my heroes? Absolutely NOT. My work was crooked, the faces looked off and the limbs felt incorrect but, that’s the beauty of having a digital history. It showed my progress and yes, it pained me to look at it today and especially with how I captioned things but that’s a sign of knowing that I’ve grown, even if its just a little.

It showed me where I was and where I am now. It made me reconsider my values and opinions. Like all those who just started, I posted everything that I put on paper but I tried my best to maintain a certain quality to it. Even with the ones you see here. They are some of my proudest creations that I hold dear to.

Did I improve or did I stagnate? That’s up for debate. Being creative is a personal thing and that personal thing is often times taken from the works of others and life itself. Our creations, our experiences and our influences. They ALL come from somewhere. No matter if we care to admit it or not.

- The Brutal Truth is -

Most people who turned their hobbies into a career, much less into a ministry struggle to enter the scene. Sure, the internet has made things a little easier and people are generally supportive but in the sea of the internet, where everyone is calling for the consumer’s attention. Its hard not to doubt your insignificance.

[The internet is a beast] its judgmental, its anonymous and it hates the corners where people are being happy or sharing things that meant the world to them. It will do anything to throw you off and make you hate yourself and your work. But to have the opportunity to revisit my history and share to the youth reminded me why I did it in the first place.

No matter how imperfect or perfect it is, ART is a magical thing. It's an inventive space for impossible things to be made real and the only limit is entirely up to you as its creator. At the end of my sharing, I implored the youths to pick up their hobbies and use it to be more than just. Some of them shared that they had an interest in music, art, sports, writing and so on. To be frank, I think most of them didn’t get it or didn’t care. I don’t know.

But perhaps, its ok. As much as I tried to treat it like a testimony, I think it was also a personal reminder. Such as God’s creation. No matter how ordinary or insignificant that very little thing is. It has a name and above all, it has meaning and that meaning is sacred. To us, To God and maybe, to someone out there who needs it. To quote my lecture;

Creativity is an expression that is subjective and no matter your age or your level of skill. There’s a Story to it. A Story you and only you can tell.

I believe that I still have a decades to go before I’m like my heroes. As are those youths I spoke to that night who have their own passions. I am also aware that for every aspiring artist out there, one or two of them have questionable ethics. As am I. But I encourage them, I encourage you.

Don’t be afraid of your passion. Use that passion to speak to your friends. Share your story, because that story means something to you and its just as important. In doing so, you will set the world on fire. Even if its just one or two people, its more than enough to be a ministry.

Thanks for reading

Rincón de preguntas de Rumiko Takahashi Sensei: Rumipreguntas- Shōnen Sunday Super 12/2020

Estábamos buscando preguntas sobre "Inuyasha" y "Hanyo no Yasha Hime" "de lectores en la web". ¡Le pedimos a Rumiko Takahashi sensei que respondiera 20 preguntas seleccionadas entre muchas de ellas!

1-P.- Los nombres de los personajes de "Inuyasha" son realmente únicos, tan perfectos son para los personajes que no puedo pensar en ningún otro nombre para ellos. ¡La originalidad es tan genial! ¿Cómo decides sus nombres? (PN.mari)

R.- Como sólo puedo cambiar el nombre de un personaje una vez, es mi primera preocupación. Inclusive si los nombres son provisionales en la primera vez que hacen su aparición, si es que el nombre no le queda bien, lo pienso hasta el último minuto. No diría "este nombre le queda al personaje", pero es un nombre fácil de decir y de recordar. Es un nombre que coincide con la historia. Por ejemplo, el lenguaje floral de Kikyo (campanilla china) es "amor inmutable" y "Kagome" da una impresión infantil y linda. Creo que el nombre de Sesshomaru era diferente al principio, pero olvidé cuál era. Por otro lado, el diseño de su atuendo y todo lo demás se decidió después de que se decidió su nombre. Así lo recuerdo.

2-P. ¿Buyo es macho?, ¿Hembra? ¿De acuerdo a sus colores en Inuyasha? [PN. Buyo hambriento]

R.- Pensaba que era un macho al comienzo de la serie, pero mientras lo dibujaba pensé "Este gato es una abuelita, ¿no?" Quizás sea una mujer. Si. Bueno, Buyo es Buyo, sería bueno si pudieran decidir el género por ustedes mismos.

3-P.- Inuyasha (la serie) tiene muchos yokai, pero ¿quién fue el más difícil de dibujar? ¿Cuál fue el yokai más fácil de dibujar? (PN. Asuka)

R.- El que fue difícil de dibujar fue Magatsuhi. Es una clase de ser no especificado. Después de eso, dibujé todos los yokai que fluyeron fácilmente de mi mano, así que no recuerdo muchas dificultades.

4-P.- Quiero saber cómo se conocieron Jaken y Sesshomaru. Inclusive desde ese momento, ¿Jaken ya era mayor? (PN. Momo)

R.- Recuerdo que su primer encuentro fue descrito en uno de los guiones originales del anime "Inuyasha". Olvidé qué episodio era. Según eso, Jaken fue el líder de un grupo de yokai que luchó contra Sesshomaru y perdió, entonces decidió seguirlo. Y creo que ya era mayor.

5-P.- Si Kikyo hubiera podido vivir, ¿Kagome-chan y Kikyo se hubieran convertido en buenas amigas? (PN. Megu)

R.- Creo que es difícil ser amigas como si nada hubiera pasado desde que Inuyasha está ahí, pero… imagino que sería una relación tensa que las haría sentir un poco nerviosas al aceptarse la una a otra. Y creo que es porque no sabrían lo que está pasando por la mente de Inuyasha.

6-P.- ¿Te gustan las pequeñas criaturas como Kirara y Shippo que aparecen en el Mundo de Rumiko? Me gustaría que Rumiko Takahashi sensei nos contara sobre su dedicación a dibujar tales pequeñas criaturas. (PN. Zunda mochi)

R.- Básicamente, me gusta que se vean lindos. Además, como son pequeños, pueden estar sobre los hombros de los personajes principales, y me gusta que puedan compartir la pantalla de alguna manera.

7-P.- Creo que Tessaiga es una buena espada para el personaje principal, como cuando le alerta a Inuyasha para que no resulte herido, pero las acciones precipitadas de Inuyasha también están ahí. Él algunas veces la usa de una manera poco razonable (sus movimientos dependen demasiado de Tessaiga), así que, si Tessaiga pudiera hablar, ¿qué crees que le diría a Inuyasha? Me ha gustado "Inuyasha" desde que estaba en primaria. He visto cosas como películas oscuras y anime y, mirando en retrospectiva otra vez, Tessaiga no parece responder bien a las acciones irracionales de Inuyasha. Me sentía lo suficientemente valiente y curioso, así que quise preguntar eso. (PN. Yū Osamu)

R.- Dado que Tessaiga es una espada que fue forjada con los colmillos de su padre, es una "amiga" de Inuyasha, pero sospecho que no es ningún tipo de existencia superior. Si pudiera hablar tal vez diría algo como “Date prisa y llega a mi nivel”.

8-P.- Gracias por el proyecto de apoyar al anime. Es un buen momento para poder enviar preguntas a Rumiko Takahashi. Eso creo (risas). “Inuyasha” ha sido mi serie favorita desde que era niño y es la biblia de mi vida. Vivo añorando a Kagome-chan, quiero ser una chica amable y fuerte como Kagome-chan. Bueno, en cuanto al contenido de la pregunta, había una escena en la que Sesshomaru dijo que "la comida humana no va con mi gusto", pero ¿qué tiene que comer para sobrevivir el tipo de yokai que no ataca a los humanos? Inuyasha y Shippo comen con Kagome y los demás, entonces, ¿pueden los yokai comer la misma comida que los humanos? ¿Podría ser que Sesshomaru solo estaba fanfarroneando?

Por último, si bien no menos importante, ¡estoy a la espera de la serialización de "Hanyo no Yashahime" y "MAO"! Gracias por tu maravilloso trabajo. (PN. Aki)

R.- Gracias por su apoyo. No me puedo imaginar las comidas de Sesshomaru. Existe la posibilidad de que él absorba cosas como el rocío, como el "ki" y el "espíritu" de los yokai que han sido derrotados en un enfrentamiento. Además, podría comer algo de fruta.

9-P.- ¿Cuál fue la historia más placentera que Takahashi sensei dibujó en Inuyasha? Además, ¡quiero saber cuál es tu capítulo favorito!

R.- Es difícil elegir porque hay muchos episodios que me gustan. Inuyasha de cabello negro en la noche de Luna Nueva fue refrescante y divertido, y en serio disfruté las historias de Inuyasha en la época moderna también, porque hay tantos momentos cómicos en ellas que no pude evitar reírme bastante. Estaba entusiasmada de dibujar la historia de los Shichinintai (Banda de los Siete). También, aunque no sea divertido, me gusta la muerte de Kagura y los últimos momentos de Kikyo, me esforcé mucho para despedirlos adecuadamente. Disfruté el proceso de cambiar gradualmente la relación entre Inuyasha y Kagome, Miroku y Sango. Si tuviera que elegir una historia más, podría ser el último capítulo. Estaba satisfecha con la sensación de que finalmente había alcanzado el final. (PN. Reika)

10-P.- ¡Me encantan los Shichinintai de Inuyasha! ¿Fueron los miembros más fuertes de los Shichinintai reclutados por Bankotsu? Jakotsu parecía ser muy cercano a él, así que me he estado preguntando si fue el primer miembro. Estoy a la espera de ver los nuevos enemigos fascinantes de Hanyo no Yashahime. (PN Meichi)

R.- Quizás los otros miembros del Shichinintai eran lo suficientemente fuertes como para vivir solos. Para que esas personas se junten, sería necesario tener un líder que se convirtiera en su núcleo más fuerte, y ese sería Bankotsu. O tal vez simplemente sintieron que tenía algún mérito trabajar juntos, como hacer su trabajo más fácil. Creo que es una buena idea que Bankotsu y Jakotsu sean los primeros miembros del equipo.

11-P.- Me gustaría saber si hay escenarios de la historia o episodios en Inuyasha que sean diferentes a la idea original. (PN. Nagisa)

R.- Primero que nada, comencé pensando en que Inuyasha Hanyo tendría la espada recuerdo de su padre y que sería sellado por error con Kikyo, así que me dediqué a pensar en ello cada semana. Después de crear a Naraku, pensé en la introducción de Shippo, Miroku y Sango por primera vez. Pensé que Sesshomaru eventualmente podría morir protegiendo a la gente, pero fue un desperdicio y ya no podía matarlo. Entonces, la dirección de la historia fue decida por el nacimiento del personaje enemigo llamado Naraku. Como soy un tipo de creadora improvisada, si decido con demasiada anticipación, no me sorprendería mientras dibujo, así que fue divertido imaginar "qué hacer, qué hacer" cada semana.

12-P.- Me gustan mucho Miroku-Houshi y Sango-chan de Inuyasha, y los he estado apoyando a ambos desde entonces. Como pregunta, cuando se comprometieron, él dijo "¿Tendrías 10 o 20 de mis hijos?" entonces, ¿cuántos hijos tuvieron esos dos al final? Me gustaría saber si hay algunos escenarios de las historias de sus hijos. Gracias. (PN. Kirisawa).

R.- Las dos gemelas que aparecieron en el último episodio de “Inuyasha” y el niño que nació allí, suman tres y aparecen en Yashahime. No pensé en su familia después de eso, pero como todavía son una pareja joven, por favor piensen que hay infinitas posibilidades. Me alegro de que todavía te gusten esos dos. Muchas gracias.

13-P.- Tengo una pregunta sobre cómo se usa la palabra “aroma (nioi 匂い)” y “olor (nioi 臭い)” correctamente. El "olor" que percibe Sesshomaru fue siempre descrito consistentemente sólo como "aroma 匂い" cuando se trataba de Rin, pero para todos los demás era "olor 臭い". Incluso cuando la conoció, estaba escrito como "aroma humano 人匂い ". ¿Te pareció que esto es porque es un aroma que les gusta? Como Inuyasha diciendo que el "aroma"de Kagome es uno agradable (PN, takechan).

R.- Tanto Inuyasha como Sesshomaru tenían esta caracterización de seleccionar enemigos y aliados por su “olor”. Por supuesto, el "aroma" es un aliado y el "olor" es un enemigo. Además, considerando las impresiones de los personajes que los lectores sólo pueden ver, básicamente usé "aroma" para los personajes de chicas. "Quería que sintieras la dulzura y la limpieza.

14-P.- ¡"Inuyasha" es la Biblia de mi vida! ¿Cuáles fueron tus pensamientos, Rumiko-sensei, cuando escuchaste por primera vez de Yashahime? (PN. Misawa Nori-chan)

R.- “Inuyasha” se completó dentro de mí, así que cuando recibí la historia, yo estaba como “¿quieres hacerlo?”, El escenario era el del Sr. Sumisawa, quien estaba a cargo de Inuyasha en el anime, y él es definitivamente es una persona de habilidad y talento, así que pensé que podía dejarlo en sus manos.

15-P.-Sesshomaru le regaló a Rin un kimono en el episodio final del trabajo original, pero ¿cómo preparó ese kimono? Me pregunto si Sesshomaru entregó las cosas que Jaken había preparado, o si fue a comprarlas él mismo. (PN. También llamado Punch Magnum.)

R.- Después de recibir tu pregunta, pensé en esto concienzudamente. Entonces, parece que, después de todo, pensé que Sesshomaru le ordenó a Jaken que los comprara y le hizo ir a comprarlos una y otra y otra vez hasta que trajo el kimono "correcto" que encajaba con la idea de Rin para Sesshomaru.

16-P.- Vi a la abuela Kaede en “Hanyo no Yashahime”. Me sorprendió verla ... ¡No ha cambiado ni un poco desde la época de "Inuyasha"! ¿Podría ser que la abuela Kaede sea un youkai? (PN. Jimori)

R.- Ella es humana. Sin embargo, todavía hay una labor para aconsejar a los jóvenes y contarles sobre los viejos tiempos, así que puede que ella no envejezca porque hay un conflicto con el que lidiar.

17-P.- En “Hanyo no Yashahime”, aparece la hija de Inuyasha y Kagome, Moroha-chan aparece, pero Inuyasha es mitad youkai, Kagome es humana y Moroha-chan es mitad youkai y mitad humano. ¿Envejecen de manera diferente en el período Sengoku? (PN. Saako).

R.- Parece que en el transcurso de la historia, envejecen casi al mismo tiempo. Creo que las diferencias aparecerán poco a poco a medida que pasen algunas décadas.

18-P.- En "Hanyo no Yashahime", Moroha tiene un lazo rojo, ¿entonces este lazo es de alguna manera una referencia a las orejas de Inuyasha? Además, mientras que Inuyasha como hanyo tiene orejas de perro, entonces ¿por qué las también hanyo Towa y Setsuna no las tienen? Entiendo que Moroha es un cuarto de Yokai, así que supongo que hay algún tipo de condición para tener orejas de perro. ¡Por favor hágamelo saber! (PN.Tsukimi Ririn)

R.- Como era de esperar, el lazo de Moroha es una representación del aspecto de Inuyasha, sí. Acerca de las orejas de perro de Towa y Setsuna, bueno, Sesshomaru tiene una figura humanoide, al contrario de Inuyasha que es solo la mitad. Además, todos los hanyo que aparecen en Inuyasha tienen diferentes formas, así que por favor comprendan que cada uno de ellos es único.

19-P.- Siempre me ha encantado este trabajo desde que veía el anime "Inuyasha" cuando tenía 5 años. Cada vez que miraba al Shinboku (Árbol Sagrado) en un santuario, cuando era pequeño me imaginaba: "¿Quizás Inuyasha estaba sellado aquí ...?" Han pasado 12 años desde que se terminó el original (manga), 10 años después de que se completó la animación, ¡y en verdad estoy a la expectativa de "Hanyo no Yashahime" comenzando el otoño! Y hablando de Yashahime: "Towa", "Setsuna" y "Moroha", ¿cuál fue el atributo más importante a incorporar en ellos en tus diseños? (PN. Minto)

R.- Desde el escenario que planteó Sumisawa-san, la idea era que Towa era “un Sesshomaru blanco” y Setsuna “un Sesshomaru negro”. Son gemelas, pero viven en mundos completamente diferentes, así que las diseñé con personalidades tan diferentes como fuera posible.

Además, Towa usa un uniforme de niño, pero pensé que sería bueno si hubiera un rasgo femenino allí. Moroha fortalece la imagen de Inuyasha y Kagome juntos. Es un personaje brillante, así que conseguí ese diseño sin ninguna duda.

20-P.-¿Hay algo a lo que le gustaría que los lectores presten atención cuando vean “Hanyo no Yashahime”? (PN. Mafumaro)

R.- Las bellas imágenes y la animación de Sunrise más la trama que también es realmente interesante. La generación de los padres también hace cameos de vez en cuando, y creo que cada una de las protagonistas: Towa, Setsuna y Moroha son muy encantadoras. También creo que es un trabajo que disfrutarán tanto los que lo vean por primera vez como los que hayan visto a "Inuyasha". Y la banda sonora también fue hecha por Kaoru Wada, regresando de orquestar “Inuyasha”. Yo también estoy a la expectativa de esto.

130.

So here I am after some phone detox. I was still on the internet pretty much the entire day, but at least I wasn’t staring into my computer and my phone.

I tried to study during the day but I think I half-assed it. I don’t feel super satisfied about the results I got today but to be perfectly honest I’m not sure I even tried that hard. The fact that I’m studying with the same machine I use to read manga and mindlessly browse the internet doesn’t really help. But that’s why I created another user account where I haven’t logged into any of my personal internet accounts. There, I can study and play some music on YouTube without getting any personalised recommendations. I think I should do that tomorrow. The thing is I have to prepare a midterm test, and the deadline is on Monday. Obviously I’ll be finishing it by Sunday night.

Today I finished reading Shingeki no Kyojin’s main story on its wiki. I stopped reading the manga when I got to chapter 85 or something, while it was still being published. I found it boring and a bit ridiculous at that point but having read about the ending I wanted to figure out what the hell had happened in between. I may give the manga another chance just to see how it develops.

I’m also reading Jibaku Shōnen Hanako-kun. I wonder if I can read the seventy or so chapters it has so far in one or two days. Well, in order to find out I’d better go reading right now!

Kamen Rider 45th Anniversary File: Kiva

2008

Power Rangers Jungle Fury airs on Jetix and ABC Kids. Due to the writers strike of ‘08-’09, the series was rushed in certain periods of production and had problems behind the scenes.

Ishimori Productions celebrates what would have been Shotaro Ishinomori’s 70th birthday with special museum exhibits, merchandise and events throughout the year.

Kamen Rider returns to multi-series crossovers as Kamen Rider Den-O and Kiva: Climax Deka arrives in theaters.

SAVE THE LIFE! Tomica Hero: Rescue Force, another tokusatsu show made by Takara Tomy, airs. The show features Dairanger actor Keiichi Wada as a villain of the first story arc and Hiroaki Iwanaga aka the future Kamen Rider Birth as Captain Ishiguro/ R5!

Checkered Flag! Engine Sentai Go-Onger premieres on TV. This 32nd Sentai series was environmental and vehicle focused and had sentient vehicles that became the Zords, shrunk to become travel sized or had their “Engine Souls” placed in the transformation trinkets to talk to their partners.

Yes! Pretty Cure 5 concludes and its direct sequel Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo! takes its spot on Sunday morning alongside Kiva and Go-Onger.

Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle: Never Ending Odyssey, a sequel to Ultra Galaxy Mega Monster Battle, airs on Japanese Cable TV.

Superior Ultraman 8 Brothers premieres in theaters and is the most commercially successful Ultraman movie in franchise history. Sadly, this film was also the final bow of Ultraman showrunner Takeshi Yagi, as he retired from the franchise to do freelance work. Yagi worked as a director on Ultraman from the 1990s all the way until Mebius and Ultraseven X.

When asked what part of his drive for things like Kamen Rider was long ago, Shotaro Ishinomori said it was to tell “a kind of horror story” for children that everyone could appreciate. Using bits of darker elements and making frightful imagery appear without going overboard (the best horror uses subtlety and the timing of when and where to make the audience scream.)

With the “a kind of Horror” quote in mind, the next Rider was appropriately horror themed. As for motif...who better to choose than some of the classics?

Kiva’s main 4 forms are loosely based on four of the Universal Movie Monsters: Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, The Wolf Man and the Creature from the Black Lagoon! Kiva’s helmet also plays up the Halloween aspect, as according to a Net Movie and several Kamen Rider data file publications, Kiva’s helmet is based on a Jack ‘o Lantern.

Though Kiva is more drama with tragic romance than horror, but its the thought of the motif that counts.

The show also seemingly borrows elements from another famous vampire franchise in terms of music, one whose sorrowful violins make fans cry Bloody Tears. This series utilizes violin orchestral music in conjunction with rock music.

Another factor of music was the idea of creating an exclusive band for the show’s themes, Tetra-Fang! Terta-Fang was a limited rock group created by Avex specifically for the show with the main Rider actor himself Koji Seto as its lead singer. Tetra-Fang went on tour, sold multiple albums and did a Christmas concert before dissolving after the show ended.

In fact, Music is a recurring element of the series, from the violin that detects evil, the title cards referencing something related to music to some of Kivat’s history lessons on art before the show starts. This is a true symphony of the night.

Another interesting element of this show is it takes place in 2 different time periods. The events of each timeline line up to form the pieces of the puzzle of the show’s story and uncover the mysteries of the present day.

However, Toei also was still riding high on the popularity of Den-O and thus some of that show’s elements carried over into Kiva: a time travel plot at one point, monsters that altered the hero’s personality and changed his stats and a timid hero as the lead.

A minor complaint about this series is what is known as “Final Form Spamming”, as after Kiva unlocks Emperor form, it becomes the only form he uses and the rest are relegated to bit parts or not showing up at all. The behind the scenes reason is more understanding, as the Kiva suit was made with chromed metal parts as well as multiple layers that made the costume heavy. This is nothing new as the original Godzilla suit from the 1950s weighed 220 lbs and Haruo Nakajima suffered through it for the sake of art (almost killing himself in some cases), but most modern toku productions make a sincere effort to treat their suit actors with respect and ensure their safety and well being.

The Kiva suit strained Seiji Takaiwa’s body and limited his movement making it difficult for him to shoot scenes. So when it came time to create the Emperor form costume, PLEX and Rainbow Zoukei sculpted it so the suit would look incredibly detailed, but light in weight so Seiji could move freely in it. This resulted in Seji being able to do cool action scenes using his full range of motion that the other 4 suits could not achieve.

Another new thing taking the franchise by storm was the detailed and beloved collectible S.H. Figuarts, which served as a successor for the Shouchaku Henshin series toys.

S.H Figuarts got its start with shōnen action shows such as Kamen Rider, but later expanded into the collectible juggernaut monster we know it as today, covering everything from Dragonball Z to Marvel and DC Comics to the WWE.

So now its time to talk of the King of Vampires! Tension Fortissimo!

Real Name: Wataru Kurenai, prince heir and eventually, King of the Fangire Race and a representative of the Heisei Riders. (Circa The Rider War, 2009)

Wataru Kurenai was born in 1986, his father Otoya was a famed violinist/violin maker and his mother was part of a race of monsters called Fangire. Fangires are one of the 13 Demon Races whom like the legends of Vampires they seemingly inspired, feed on the lifeforce of humans.

Since they pose a threat to humans, an organization called The Wonderful Blue Sky had created tech and devices to kill them, with Wataru’s father self-volunteering to aid them. But Otoya fell in love with the Queen of their race Maya and she in turn fell in love with him. Such love was forbidden by the hierarchy of the Fangires and thus she was stripped of her monster powers and title, being cast into exile. Otoya died fighting the Fangire’s King and a few years later afterward, Maya realized being near her son would put him in danger and left him alone with her servant Kivat-bat the Third.

Jump ahead to the year 2008 and Wataru is now a young man who shares his father’s love of music and works as a violin maker/repairman, though he does not get much business. He is an introvert shut-in whose eccentricities, silence around people and bizarre violin varnish experiments scare his neighbors who all call him “Ghost Boy”.

But when one of his father’s violins called the Bloody Rose sounds an alarm to “Fight” a Fangire that is attacking, he becomes a vampire superhero known as Kiva with the help of Kivat and a trio of Monsters who reside in a castle built around a dragon to save the day!

As Wataru learns to trust people more, he grows as a person to the point when we see him again in Decade, he is no longer a shy scared young man and is now an outgoing, confident and serious hero. But even then, he still keeps his gentle and caring personality as he will go out of his way to protect humans.

The story of the series flips back and forth between 1986 (coincidentally, the year before Black would become active) and 2008 to reveal mysteries or thread the plots together.

Powers and Abilities :

Super Vision, Super Fangire Strength, Super jumping power, the ability to create the darkness of night even when it is daytime. Marksmanship, Water manipulation/rain generation and the ability to skate on water in Basshaa form. Enhanced durability and electricity manipulation in Dogga form. Greater super strength in Dogga form and Emperor Form. Feral Senses and sonic blasts in Garulu form. Swordsmanship skill with the Zanvat Sword and Garulu Saber. Possible Telekinesis.

Able to transform into a giant vampire bat dragon. Let me repeat that...A Vampire..Bat.. Dragon. Said vampire bat dragon form has razor sharp claws and the ability to shoot fireballs. His skills as a combatant were weak and clumsy at first but grew drastically over time to the point where he can take on a group of really powerful monsters with little effort and wield the Zanvat Sword even in Kiva form.

His Rider Kick in Emperor form is one of the strongest, as it exerts over 150 tons of force! Also in term of Rider Kicking milestones...he once kicked the Moon!

It’s a beautiful full Kiva out tonight....

In Decade, he could walk upside down on surfaces such as another building that was upside down in the sky. He also demonstrated the ability to control Dimension Walls, or at the very least summon them when needed (that part was never explained). He also can project illusion images such as a view of the multiverse. He also combined his power with the power of his fellow Riders to try to freeze the Earth in place to prevent its destruction until Decade could save reality from total annihilation.

Weaknesses:

Wataru at first has social anxiety and low self-esteem, but this is now gone thanks to support from his friends and family. His greatest weakness is his heritage, as his Fangire half-blood can be “awakened” by an outside force to negate his human instincts and mentality. This makes the Fangire bloodlust inside of him go crazy and he attacks friends and foes alike due to a primal desire to feed. Fortunately, this only happened once and he seems to be in control of himself now as he wants to live as a human.

His other weakness is the DoGaBaKi form, as its fused power is so overwhelming it could kill Wataru if it is not disengaged after 5 minutes. Another weakness is that Wataru can be possessed by an Imagin, as seen in the Den-O and Kiva Movie, or by ghosts.

Yet another is Kivat being his power source, as having a belt powered by a living being is a possible detriment. Kivat once got sick with a cold and Kiva in his base form could not fight at full power due to the bat’s constant sneezing. Kivat could also possibly be captured to prevent Wataru from transforming. Kivat also mentions that if Kiva is defeated, Castle Doran will lose all its power.

Kiva also seems to be unable to swim in his base form due to how heavy his armor is. During his battle with Ixa, he fell into the river and didn’t come up for air, nearly drowning. But that could also just be the Toshiki Inoue trope of Kamen Riders constantly falling in water.

http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/Demon_Imperial_Sword_Zanvat_Sword

Signature Finishers:

Darkness Moon Break: Kiva’s primary Rider Kick. Kiva uses the Wake Up Fuestle which causes the sky to darken and the moon to come out. Kivat flies to unlock the chains on his left boot which reveal a red bat wing-like appendage. Kiva then leaps into the air and crashes into the target. The kick has an impact of 30,000 kg. (roughly 66,138 pounds of force), enough to leave a crater in the shape of Kiva's bat insignia on any surface upon contact. The DoGaBaKi version is stronger as it fuses the power of the 4 forms into one.

Bloody Punch: Standard Rider Punch with a glowing red aura, only seen in Ganbaride and the Battride War series.

Garulu Howling Slash: Rider Slash attack in Garulu Form. The Garulu Saber is bitten by Kivat and then Kiva opens the “mouth” of his mask to put the blade in. He then leaps into the air and falls sideways to do a vertical sword slash.

Basshaa Aqua Tornado: Rider Shooting Finisher for Basshaa Form. Kivat bites the Basshaa Magnum and then a tide pool of water is generated from the water in the air. Kiva raises his weapon skyward and focuses this water into a whirling tornado that the gun absorbs into a pressurized ball of energized water. Kiva fires it and it acts as a seeker missile chasing down the target until it hits. The target freezes and Kiva “pops” it with a touch of his finger.

Dogga Thunder Slap: Rider Thrust finisher. Kivat bites the Dogga Hammer and Kiva generates a storm of lightning and a dark sky. He opens up the ball “hand” part of the Hammer and it generates a wave that paralyzes the target or reveals a cloaked enemy. The Hammer then generates a giant energy construct of itself in the form of a fist that smashes the target. First use of a war hammer weapon in the franchise.

Emperor Moon Break: Emperor Form’s Rider Kick. After the Imperial Slot selects Wake Up Fever, Kiva jumps and energy “fangs” protrude from his feet to strike the target.

Comes in several variants:

A flying double footed kick where the energy fangs rapidly strike the target’s body until they are flung backwards by a bicycle kick and explode.

A spinning drill kick that uses the fangs as a drill and then slams the target into the ground. This also has a variation seen in the Battride War video games where Kiva flies at a swarm of enemies like a bullet, spinning constantly like a drill to mow them all down.

A flying roundhouse kick where one of the energy fangs slices the body of the target upon impact.

Emperor Howling Slash: Emperor form’s Garulu Rider Slash. After the Imperial Slot selects Garulu Fever, Kiva attaches Tatsulot to the pommel of the Garulu Saber and the tiny dragon uses his fire breath to lift Kiva into the air like a rocket. Kiva then dives using the rocket speed to deliver a powerful downward slash. A variation is that Tatsulot breathes fire to create a flaming blade and the blade of the Garulu Saber ignites, turning the sword into a double edged flame saber. Kiva then channels his inner Sith and hacks the target up... Jedi style.

Emperor Aqua Tornado: Never used in the TV show but it was finally seen in the Kamen Rider Battride War games (starting with the second one). After the Imperial Slot selects Basshaa Fever, Kiva attaches Tatsulot to the muzzle on the Basshaa Magnum. Kiva leaps into the air, then hovers on a tornado of water (which knocks surrounding enemies away), firing a rapid barrage of pressurized balls of water at the target.

Emperor Thunder Slap: The Imperial Slot selects Dogga Fever and Kiiva attaches Tatsulot to the end of the Dogga Hammer’s handle. Tatsulot generates a purple orb of electricity that Kiva hits with the hammer, which paralyzes the target. Kiva then walks up or runs to the target and then when he arrives... Ah HAHAHA!...he smashes it with the HAMMA!

Final Zanvat Slash: Using the Zanvat Fuestle, Kiva slides the Zanvat-bat up and down the Zanvat Sword blade to energize it with a blood red aura. Kiva then repeatedly slashes the target and slides the Zanvat-bat down. Once it hits the crossguard of the blade, the target falls and explodes. This attack is so powerful in some cases it can rip apart kaiju-sized monsters!

DoGaBaKi Emperor Break: A stronger version of the Emperor Moon Break that utilizes the combined power of the Arms Monsters and Emperor form into DoGaBaki Emperor Form. Hyper Battle only.

Enemies:

The Fangires

http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/Fangires

Fangires are a race of stained glass-themed monsters that are capable of disguising themselves as humans. They are based on the myths of vampires and like their bloodsucking counterparts, they see humans as food.

However, there are several things that make them differ a bit from normal Vampires. First and foremost is they can go out in the daytime and have no aversion to holy images or holy water (one of their ranks even dresses like a priest and resides in an abandoned church). Another is that they can eat things other than human life essence such as regular food, but it is hard for them to wean off such a succulent Soylent diet for long due to their feral predatory instincts (though some have managed to accomplish it). They also are not limited to being bats (though their leader is one), as Fangires come in all sorts of animal species. (There is even a vampire sheep!). Lastly, when they consume a human’s life essence, the victims do not become one of them but rather just die by turning into a clear glass and shattering into pieces.

Despite this, some Fangires are good and don’t want to harm anyone like Wataru who is half Fangire or some of the ones Otoya faced, who convinced a few of them to live peaceful lives, including his would-have-been-wife Maya.

Fangires possess a wide array of powers: from altering the sky to become dark as night to super speed.

The Checkmate Four:

http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/Checkmate_Four

The Checkmate Four are the powerful elite of the Fangire race, with the King and Queen ruling absolute over their subjects. One of their laws is that a Fangire cannot fall in love with a human and the punishment of this crime is death to the Fangire who commits this sin or the person they are in love with.

Rook, the Lion Fangire, is the enforcer and brute muscle of the group.

Bishop is the enforcer of law for the Fangire race, he is also one of the absolute creepiest villains in all of the franchise...

*Shivers*

The Queen is a bit more sympathetic, coming off more as a neutral/protagonist later on, but she does execute Fangires who were “breaking the law” and was a bit cruel at first as she toys with her foes and others before eliminating them. A new Queen is discovered and appointed long after the old one is exiled in 2008.

The King is the metaphorical Dracula of the Fangire race, a Bat Fangire of immense power that went on a rampage with his brethren to slaughter the other members of the 13 Demon Races for sport. He sees humans as beneath him and is also a sexist jerk who coldly views his mate as nothing but property/a breeding machine and abused her if she defied him. Its unsurprising why she left him for Otoya, as though he was a womanizer, he at least tried to respect women as people in some capacity.

A second King, the son of the first and Maya (thereby Wataru’s half brother) at first follows in his father’s cruelty, but eventually repents and redeems himself and becomes kinder man. He then tries to lead his people alongside his brother so that his race can find an alternative means of consuming energy that will not harm humans.

Keisuke Nago aka Kamen Rider Ixa

“That life you have stolen...Please return it to God!”

The Intercept X Attack system or IXA was a Rider System developed by the Wonderful Blue Sky Organization in the 1980s to kill Fangires. The System was not perfect and had many technical flaws during its early days that endangered its users due to the limitations of tech in that time period. The project kept going despite this and by the 2000s was fully usable without any glitches.

Keisuke Nago became its user and went on a hunt to try and kill Kiva, as he had heard of all the terrible things the previous one did prior in the 80s. After a few brawls and getting his ego bruised and saved by Kiva on occasion, he eventually warms up to Wataru and then the two eventually become BFFs.

753 is a bit overzealous on being a hero of justice, but he does mellow out a bit and means well,

Now that the file is over...it is time to get strong for Justice! Ixa-cise!

What Could the Departure of Ryota Niitsuma from Capcom Mean for Fighting Game Crossovers?

February 10, 2020 2:44 PM EST

Ryota Niitsuma was one of the producers of Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, Marvel Vs Capcom, and many anime fighting and crossover games.

Capcom producer Ryota Niitsuma announced via Twitter he left Capcom. Niitsuma was involved in many fighting games and crossover games at Capcom. The first Project X Zone, Street Fighter IV, the Marvel Vs Capcom series, and Tatsunoko Vs Capcom all have his name on them. He also worked on the Resident Evil Revelations series.

Ryota Niitsuma announced his departure from Capcom in a Twitter thread. He most notably mentioned how “fighting games will always be important to Capcom”.

In the Japanese version of his Twitter thread announcing his departure, Niitsuma also mentioned how his years at Capcom made him get involved with any platform, from arcade games, mobile games, arcade games for kids, cloud gaming, and of course console games. Handling crossover games also allowed him to interact with many companies and copyrights holders, leaving him with good memories. He got involved with companies such as:

Japanese animation company Tatsunoko Production, for Tatsunoko Vs Capcom.

Marvel and Disney for Marvel-related games like Marvel Vs Capcom.

Shōnen Sunday publisher Shogakukan for anime games such as PS2 game Shijyou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi: Gekitou! Ragnarok Hachikengou (I wish a Matsuena Shun manga got a new game).

Shonen Jump publisher Shueisha, for anime games such as the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Capcom games.

Ryota Niitsuma also stated that he isn’t leaving the game industry as a whole, and will keep working as a game producer somewhere else. We’ll be sure to sell you if we hear about his next projects soon. We wish him all the best for his future endeavors.

Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Cross Generations of Heroes first released exclusively in Japan on December 1, 2008, on Arcade and Wii. An updated version, Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Ultimate All Stars later released worldwide in January 2010, still on Wii. Tatsunoko was founded in 1962 and is one of the oldest animation studios in Japan. Many Tatsunoko series and characters popularized anime or superhero patterns later found in both Japanese and non-Japanese fiction. Seeing Capcom’s history with crossovers, and how influential Tatsunoko was in history including on Capcom’s own games, it’s actually surprising that a Tatsunoko Vs Capcom game didn’t exist sooner. There’s a high chance Capcom already thought about it in the past, but couldn’t pull it off for various reasons until Ryota Niitsuma managed to somehow.

As a side note, you might remember a Tatsunoko-themed game but with cute girls and sexual fanservice was supposed to release in 2015 on PlayStation Vita. The game was tentatively named Bokosuka Girls: Tatsunoko Gakuen Climax. You can watch its trailer here. The game was announced in 2014 but indefinitely delayed/canceled in March 2018 when the studio behind it, V3, announced the development halted in a message. Since then, the studio seemingly closed down as their official site is unreachable.

Personally speaking, I’ve always been waiting for a new Tatsunoko Vs Capcom game, and hopefully, Ryota Niitsuma’s departure doesn’t affect too much the possibilities of a new game happening one day. Back in 2017, a Tatsunoko + Capcom character popularity contest was organized in Japan for Tatsunoko’s 55th anniversary.

The contest was largely won by Laala Manaka, the protagonist of the PriPara franchise. PriPara is part of the Pretty Series franchise, an idol-themed arcade game franchise by TakaraTomy and SynSophia (Style Savvy series), with anime adaptations by Tatsunoko. So far, the Pretty Series franchise is made of Pretty Rhythm/King of Prism, PriPara, and Kiratto Prichan. While unknown in the west, Pretty Series and PriPara, in particular, is extremely popular in Japan and South Korea. At its peak in January 2018, PriPara had more than 4.4 million accounts in Japan. I wouldn’t be surprised if Laala ends up in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at least as a Mii costume.

Lastly, I’d mention that Capcom is on a roll these past two years, with critically acclaimed, awesome games such as Devil May Cry V, the Resident Evil 2 Remake, and Monster Hunter World Iceborne. However, the fighting game department seems to be lagging behind, with Street Fighter V not being that interesting, and it’s worrying. Ryota Niitsuma saying “fighting games will always be important to Capcom” could be hinting that himself and Capcom were aware of this problem. Things are definitely changing at Capcom and moving around as Shintaro Kojima, another producer, recently left as well.
