Kamen Rider Spirits (manga)
Kamen Rider Spirits (仮面ライダーSPIRITS, Kamen Raidā Supirittsu, trans. Masked Rider Spirits) is a manga adaptation of the popular Kamen Rider franchise by Kenichi Muraeda. The story focuses on the ten original Kamen Riders with shifting focus on main characters. The original series ended when Magazine Z ceased publication and was then revived in the Monthly Shōnen Magazine under the title Shin Kamen Rider SPIRITS (新・仮面ライダーSPIRITS, Shin Kamen Raidā Supirittsu, New Masked Rider SPIRITS).
Plot
Taking place after the end of the Kamen Rider Super-1 television series, Kamen Rider Spirits is composed of three different arcs, each focusing on different Kamen Riders. The manga also ties up loose ends from the various TV series, such as how Riderman survived the Pluton rocket explosion and why Stronger’s partner, Tackle, was never acknowledged as a Kamen Rider.
The first arc, known as The Legend of Masked Riders (仮面ライダーSPIRITS —THE LEGEND OF MASKED RIDERS—, Kamen Raidā Supirittsu: Za Rejendo obu Masukudo Raidāsu), is composed of several stand-alone stories that focus on the original nine Kamen Riders who have gone their separate ways. After discovering suspicious activity going on all over the world, the Kamen Riders realize that a new evil is rising.
The second arc, known as Forget Memories (仮面ライダーSPIRITS —FORGET MEMORIES—, Kamen Raidā Supirittsu: Fōgetto Memorīzu), focuses on the tenth Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider ZX, and gives the character an alternate origin story, ignoring the events of the Birth of the 10th! Kamen Riders All Together!! TV special. The second arc also introduces the Badan Empire, the story’s main villains.
The third arc, known as Dragon Road (仮面ライダーSPIRITS —DRAGON ROAD—, Kamen Raidā Supirittsu: Doragon Rōdo), focuses on Kamen Rider ZX joining the original nine Kamen Riders and facing the evil Badan Empire together.
