A Kamen Rider story idea I once had, in 2018-19
🕑 Added 2022-11-07 13:08:32 +0000 UTCHere's a funny story.
Now with the airing of Black Sun, I was reminded that oh wow I had a similar Kamen Rider story written on my back-pocket too! I had developed this at around 2019, after looking too much at news of the day and thinking about things.
Be forewarned; This is barely a script, more an elaborate, kinda half-baked story-pitch & basic plot organized into acts (I like using the 起承转合 to organize my story beats). More so done just to put miscellaneous ideas on paper than anything else:

Looking at it now, it is eerie how much certain things do kinda match with how the Black Sun show turned out, down to the character setups and general motifs and mood. Though with my plot, I wanted to make a sort of "epilogue" or distant sequel to the events of "A Kamen Rider story" that likely went south, with some light references to modern horror motifs like cryptids and "innawoods" kind of things
(one thing I didn't emphasize enough, among other things, is that my designs would've likely been more horror-based. Kamen Rider in the way of creepypasta, those 90s fan-made Kamen Rider designs, or Trevor Henderson, I suppose)
Now obviously I don't have the ego to claim the creator behind Black Sun to have actually ripped off little ol' me with my non-existent, literally unpublicized story idea, let alone which is better.
More so its kind of funny coincidence, borne out of similar place of being Kamen Rider fans, especially into its Ishinomorian source material, and are concerned about current sociopolitics.
I'm sharing this now since, to be frank, I dunno how likely I am to ever even develop a proper comic out of this, and with Black Sun around it would just be a bit reduntant/seem like a ripoff anyway. More just a (hopefully) fun look at something I had going, even if half-baked hahaha.
