“Shin Kamen Rider” embraces modernity. A look at good and evil, violence, and power

The importance of depicting “mourning” and “mourning” the enemy’s death

Also noteworthy is the depiction of ``mourning'' and ``mourning'' the death. In Shin Kamen Rider, Hongo offers a moment of silence after each battle, thinking of the lives he lost. When Ruriko sees him, she worries that he is ``too kind,'' but that is precisely why she trusts Hongo's ``heart.''

This part also answers the question, ``What is a hero?'' It is an act that cannot be tolerated, even if it is just. This is also reflected in the Arrival"It's true." Hongo is too kind and unfit for combat, but he is not a hero because he fights, but because he works for others and works to create a peaceful society. In this sense, Hongo can be said to be a heroic figure as he tries to save both friend and foe.

At the same time, being considerate toward the enemy corresponds to the stance that one is not necessarily right, but rather a clash of different claims. In the movie ``Shin Kamen Rider,'' the augments that confront Hongo each advocate their own theories of happiness. However, even if these ideas were to ``eliminate food shortages'' and ``reduce useless conflicts,'' they still have the aspect of allowing specific individuals to manage and control others, and in Ruriko's words, ``those ideas are dangerous.'' ”. This clash of beliefs in justice is at the root of the battles in Shin Kamen Rider.

In the aforementioned " My Hero Academia ", there is a disconnection between the two, ``They are heroes and villains because they don't understand each other'' (in other words, they are divided into heroes and villains as a result of each person living their own way), and ``There is no change in fighting.'' However, it depicts the necessity of communication: "We must at least know the depths of that person's heart." There are similarities with Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba in terms of depictions of battles between non-human beings and of mourning.

``Shin Kamen Rider'' shares contemporaneity with these works. The modern stylish sensibility shines through in the visual aspects of the design of the Cyclone and the Augments, but in terms of sensibility, it also clearly depicts the ``now''.
