This play assumes that the audience already watched Kamen Rider Gaim, since endgame events and plotpoints are important to the story. Therefore, spoilers for Gaim and it's related spin-offs will be unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Kamen Rider Zangetsu -Gaim Gaiden- is a 2019 stage play Spin-Off of the Japanese television series Kamen Rider Gaim, later released on DVD. Actor Yuki Kubota reprises his role as Takatora Kureshima/Armored Rider Zangetsu in this story co-authored by nitro+'s Jin Haganeya and Toei Company’s Nobuhiro Mouri, both of whom were secondary writers on the Gaim TV series (with Haganeya serving as assistant to the show's head writer, Gen Urobuchi).Several years after fighting off the Helheim Forest invasion, Takatora Kureshima is traveling the world, cleaning up the messes left behind by the now-dissolved Yggdrasil Corporation. While investigating their former test site in the Torkia Republic, he's shot by a mysterious assailant and falls into the Underground City, where young men are given Sengoku Drivers and Lockseeds and forced to fight to the death for the amusement of the ruling elites. Stricken with amnesia, Takatora must slowly recover his memories and unravel the dark secrets behind the republic — as well as the identity of the Revenge-obsessed man who attacked him. | |

Rasputinian Death | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_13992073 | comment |
Rasputinian Death: Kagemasa gets shot in the gut, hangs on while refusing medical treatment, uses a suicide vest, somehow survives that too, and finally dies for real after being stabbed by his brother Masahito. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: You might not think it's possible to make a Gen Urobuchi story even darker, but Zangetsu replaces the street dancing and Mons battles of Gaim with a straight-up Hunger Games-style death battlenote Some of the characters still dance, but it's not clear if it's happening in-story or not, where practically every named character (even the Kouta Expy) has committed at least one murder by the time the story even begins and they just accept killing as a fact of life. There's also a lot of battles between non-transformed humans wielding knives, guns, and pipes, but it manages to avoid being Bloodier and Gorier because the production doesn't use a single drop of stage blood. | |

Paint It Black | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_152851bb | comment |
Paint It Black: The Armored Riders of the Trokia Republic, who are far more morally ambiguous than those from Zawame City, use prototype Sengoku Drivers that produce versions of Gaim, Baron, et al. with black undersuits. Since this already happened to Baron before in his Direct-to-DVD Gaiden movie, Glasya's Proto Baron suit is just a slight modification of Shura's Black Baron suit. | |

Extreme Speculative Stratification | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_19e991a6 | comment |
Extreme Speculative Stratification: The Trokia Republic is divided 20/80 between the rich elites who live on the surface and the poor "have-nots" who are forced to live in the Underground City and engage in super-powered deathmatches for the amusement of their "betters". | |

The Dreaded | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: Much like Takatora himself in Gaim, when the new Zangetsu enters the battle and starts curb-stomping all the other Riders at the same time, they rightly learn to fear him. | |

Character Development | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: When Takatora first meets him, Aim is downright glib about the fact that he's killed people before, saying that that's just how it is in Trokia and not really giving it any further thought. As the story progresses, he begins understanding the value of human life and ends up developing the same "I'll save everyone!" attitude as Kouta. | |

Honor Before Reason | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_44fc28e8 | comment |
Honor Before Reason: Glasya believes so strongly in his ideals that he refuses to compromise them even when he knows it's a bad idea. When Aim comes along and says "This white Armored Rider is too strong, we need to team up to beat him!", Glasya refuses. Near the end of the play he insists on having a final battle with Aim, despite knowing full well that there are much more important things going on and that using the Sengoku Drivers will turn them into Inves, because he wants to prove the strength of his ideals. He loses. | |

The Atoner: Takatora openly says that he's trying to make up for his sins as the head of Yggdrasil by investigating their old research sites an making sure it's all been shut down. At the end of the play he says he's still got a lot of work to do. | |

We Used to Be Friends | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_51a3ba7 | comment |
We Used to Be Friends: Takatora was friends with Masahito Shizumiya eight years before the events of the play, when they had similar personalities, but the fact that Takatora developed into a better person while Masahito stayed the same arrogant, selfish person he was before is just one of many reasons they oppose each other in the present. | |

Not Using the "Z" Word | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_525df529 | comment |
Not Using the "Z" Word: Zig-zagged; the Trokian characters have heard of the term "Inves", but they more commonly call them "the infected". Takatora, on the other hand, just straight-up calls them "Inves". | |

| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_546e23f6 | comment |
Evilutionary Biologist: Kagiomi Shizumiya gave malfunctioning prototype Sengoku Drivers to the people of the Trokia Republic, knowing that they would slowly transform the wearers into Inves, with the intent of achieving a level of existence beyond either humans or Inves. His son Masahito, who already achieved this by becoming an Overlord, just wants to Take Over the World. | |

| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_5501256b | comment |
Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: Everyone assumed that Masahito died eight years ago when the Scalar System was activated. In reality he had already transformed himself into an Inves via the flawed Sengoku Drivers and further mutated into an Overlord when the Scalar radiation hit him. | |

| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_55b1f9a1 | comment |
Easy Amnesia: Takatora loses his memories at the start of the play, after getting shot and falling into the Underground City. Over the course of the story he slowly regains bits and pieces as the events unfolding around him remind him of Zawame City, before finally making a full recovery around 2/3 of the way through. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_617f0563 | comment |
The events in the Underground City are basically an abridged version of Kamen Rider Gaim itself, with the characters fulfilling the same roles (Gaim is a noble idealist while Baron is a cynical social Darwinist and his arch-rival) and going through roughly the same events (Bravo starts off as an overpowering antagonist but undergoes a Heel–Face Turn). | |

Cast of Expies | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_62ec4b15 | comment |
Cast of Expies: An internal example occurs here, since every named character is an obvious stand-in for a character from Gaim itself. This gets acknowledged by Takatora when he remarks that Aim reminds him of Kouta Kazuraba, and is actively exploited by Kagemasa (Mitsuzane/Micchy's Expy), who briefly convinces the amnesiac Takatora that he is Mitsuzane. | |

| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_b949eac | comment |
Involuntary Battle to the Death: The rich nobles force the denizens of the Underground City to battle for their amusement, having provided them with Rider Systems and giving empty promises that the last man standing will be allowed to move to the upper city. By the time the story kicks in there are only three Rider Teams left (Orange Ride, Baroque Red, and Green Dolls), and Orange Ride is down to its last three members. | |

Forced Transformation | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_b97a2fa7 | comment |
Forced Transformation: The Sengoku Drivers used by Trokia's Riders are incomplete prototypes, meaning the power from the Lockseed "leaks" into the user and slowly transforms them into an Inves. This happens to both Foras and Team Orange Ride's previous Leader. | |

I'm Not a Hero, I'm... | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_ba33bad5 | comment |
I'm Not a Hero, I'm...: Kagemasa angrily accuses Takatora of benefiting from his brother's death and passing himself off as the hero of Zawame City; Takatora honestly replies that Kouta was the one who saved the world, and that he himself didn't really do anything. | |

Soap Opera Disease: The Underground City's Armored Riders all seem to suffer from mysterious chest pains. These are the harbinger of their transformation into an Inves. | |

Unwitting Test Subject: The entire Underground City is this, being subjects of Kagiomi Shizumiya's "experiments" with the incomplete Sengoku Drivers that slowly transform them into Inves. | |

Outside-Context Problem | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_cc7fae30 | comment |
Outside-Context Problem: Takatora is an Outside-Context Hero, coming to the Trokia Republic from Japan and helping resolve the long-standing conflict by uniting the Armored Riders to fight against the nobles who oppress them rather than each other (as well as helping them fight an opponent that would have been too strong for any of them to handle). | |

Fake Shemp | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_d51263b9 | comment |
Fake Shemp: Kouta returns by temporarily possessing the body of Aim; presumably, Keigo Hagiya was cast in the role because his voice is fairly similar to Gaku Sano's, which adds to the illusion. | |

History Repeats | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_e003c829 | comment |
History Repeats: According to the Big Bad, the tragedy of the Trokia Republic is that they keep repeating the same mistakes perpetrated by Kagiomi Shizumiya and the remnants of the Yggdrasil Corporation. The events in the Underground City are basically an abridged version of Kamen Rider Gaim itself, with the characters fulfilling the same roles (Gaim is a noble idealist while Baron is a cynical social Darwinist and his arch-rival) and going through roughly the same events (Bravo starts off as an overpowering antagonist but undergoes a Heel–Face Turn). | |

Underground City: The Trokia Republic has one, simply named "Underground City" (in English). It's said that about 80% of the country's population lives there, and the vast majority of the play takes place there. | |

Drama-Preserving Handicap | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_efacc623 | comment |
Drama-Preserving Handicap: Takatora's skill and experience as Armored Rider Zangetsu could easily resolve the entire situation in about five minutes...which is why he loses both his memory and the Melon Lockseed about three minutes into the playnote It also seems like he didn't even bring either his Sengoku Driver or Genesis Driver along with him, since he has to take one from the dying Kagemasa in order to transform. | |

Redemption Equals Death | |
| Kamen Rider Zangetsu Gaim Gaiden (Theatre) / int_f1492605 | comment |
Redemption Equals Death: Kagemasa spends most of the play bitterly despising Takatora for the death of his brother. However, after that same brother mortally wounds him and Takatora does his best to save him, Kagemasa uses his dying breath to give Takatora his Sengoku Driver so he can finally end the conflict. Later turns into Redemption Equals Life in the novelization when Aim and a bunch of other Trokian civilians find him on the verge of death and treat his wounds, with him repenting for his deeds by helping them rebuild. | |
