Story overview

The Smart Brain Corporation, the world's most powerful corporation, is trying to take over the world using Orphenochs (the next stage in human evolution) to covertly kill off the world's human population. In pursuit of their goals they develop three suits of power armor, called the Rider Gears (Delta, Faiz, and Kaixa), which are created to find and protect the Orphenoch King, who can fix the genetic defect within the Orphenochs that causes their genetic structure to break down and kill them.

The Rider Gears are stolen by Hanagata, the Goat Orphenoch and former President of Smart Brain Corporation, who sends them to his foster children, the Ryuseiji, so they can stop the Orphenochs from achieving their goal. However, the Rider Gears were designed to be worn by Orphenochs, and humans are unable to wear them without undergoing genetic modification.

A young loner, Inui Takumi, is unwillingly drawn into the conflict between the Orphenochs and humans and becomes Kamen Rider Faiz to save the life of Sonada Mari, one of the Ryuseiji. The Smart Brain Corporation begins targeting him in an attempt to retrieve the Faiz Gear.

There is division amongst the Orphenochs, as renegade Orphenochs, who wish to fight to protect humans rather than kill them, begin appearing. The Smart Brain Corporation also target these Orphenochs and attempt to kill them. Most of these Orphenochs are either killed, remain neutral or begin siding with the Ryuseiji against the Smart Brain Corporation.

The police begin targeting Orphenochs in an attempt to stop the series of bizarre murders that have been occurring that they discover Orphenochs are behind, but they are largely unaware of the various factions involved. They begin performing experiments on Orphenochs in order to find ways of destroying them.

The Orphenoch King is eventually found and awakened within a young boy named Terruo, whom Naoya befriended. Now, it is up to the holders of the Rider Gears to stop him.

Rider Gears

The equipment used by the characters to transform is refered to as Rider Gear. They were created to be worn by Orphenochs to protect the Orphenoch King. Each Rider Gear has a method to input codes, a number keypad for most, that can activate the armor and weapons. The sound effects of a dialing in any of the Rider Gear phones were later referenced in episode 17 of Kamen Rider Kabuto. Kamen Rider Kabuto , translated as Masked Rider Kabuto[1]) is a Japanese tokusatsu superhero television series. ...

TV Show

The TV series focused on three Rider Gears. Those three were:

• SB-555 - Faiz Gear (Φ); Main wearer: Takumi Inui.
• SB-913 - Kaixa Gear (χ); Main wearer: Masato Kusaka.
• SB-333 - Delta Gear (Δ); Main wearer: Shuji Mihara.

Hanagata, the foster father of the Ryuseiji and former chief executive of Smart Brain attempted to create several new Rider Gears, using two lost people to test out the first two. The two belts failed to create Rider armor, resulting in the wearer’s deaths. When Takuma wore the third one it disabled him for a few seconds before it dissolved and the fourth one dissolved without ever being worn.

The Emperor Belts (Paradise Lost)

The Paradise Lost movie introduced two additional sets of Rider Gears:

• SB-315 - Psyga Gear (Ψ); Wearer: Leo
• SB-000 - Orga Gear (Ω); Wearer: Yuji Kiba.

Riot Trooper Army

The show featured a series of mass-produced henshin belts called Smart Buckle, which enabled the wearer to transform into a Riot Trooper. The Riot Trooper was introduced in the movie, and later added at the end of the TV series. Riotroopers (or Riot Troopers) are a para-military force of henchmen from the Japanese tokusatsu show Kamen Rider 555 and the accompanying film Kamen Rider 555: Paradise Lost. ...

• Kamen Rider Beta (Blue)
• Kamen Rider Gamma (Green)

Name puns

The number codes to transform were often related to the name of the Rider Gear. The "555/Fives/Faiz" pun for the title of the show for example. The three "fives," which is a word play on the word Faiz, also serves as its transformation code, "555". Delta's code was very similar in that the shape of the letter "Δ", or Delta, is a triangle , which has 3 sides. Furthermore the term "Delta" is often used to refer to a 3-sided body of land or object, thus the code "333".

Different examples were the codes used for Kaixa and Psyga. The name "Kaixa" while a play on "X" (Chi in the Greek Alphabet) also could stem from the Japanese pronunciation of his number: 9 is "Kyuu" ("K" or "Ka" sound taking ) 1 is "Ichi" ("I" or "Ii" sound) 3 is "San" ("Sa" sound) Thus "Ka-i-sa" ("9-1-3"). The Japanese pronunciation of Psyga's number uses the same method: 3 is "San" ("Sa" sound), 1 is "Ichi" ("I" or "Ii" sound, similar to Kaixa's name ) and 5 is "Go" ("Ga" sound, taken from the letter "G" in Go ), thus: Sa-i-ga ("3-1-5").

Orphenochs

Main article: Orphenoch

They are the series kaijin; they are humans who are reborn either naturally or by Smart Brain. Their goal is to annihilate humanity either by turning other humans into more orphenoch or killing them off completely. However, there are those who believe that they can still live as humans; those who possessed that mind set become targets for elimination by Smart Brain. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Kamen Rider 555. ... Kaijin, literally meaning mysterious person, is a term used in usually in tokusatsu which describes humanoid monsters; some are depicted as evil, sadistic, and savage, while some are depicted as extremely unintelligent and sometimes perverse. ...

Characters

• Takumi Inui (乾巧, Inui Takumi^?): Main wearer of the Faiz Gear, though reluctantly at first. He is a loner who prefers not to get into relationships with people because he fears he will betray them. Often very apathetic towards his 'duties' as Faiz when there is no immediate threat. Unlike the others, he has no particular dream. He is often teased by Mari for being a "nekojita" (Literally means "cat tongue"; someone who cannot stand food that is too hot or cold). It is revealed that he too is an Orphenoch, the Wolf Orphenoch. He was hit by a car when he was young and soon developed the power of an Orphenoch, but chose not to use his power unless it was necessary. Like Yuji he uses his power to protect humans. He was at the Ryusei Juku reunion and attempted to protect everyone from Kitazaki. However, Mari caught him on film and everyone believed he was responsible for the massacre. When talking to Yuji, it reveals that he's a "natural" Orphenoch like Yuji and Yuka. Since the massacre, he refused to transform until he was forced to when Mari was dying from injuries caused by Sawada. As a Kamen Rider, he has a habit of randomly flicking his wrist. Played by Kento Handa (半田健人, Handa Kento^?). Dubbed by Louie Paraboles in the Filipino Dubbed version.
• Mari Sonoda (園田真理, Sonoda Mari^?): A member of the Ryusei Juku who was sent the Faiz Gear and Auto Vajin by their father, but was unable to use them. She insists that Takumi accompany her and use the Faiz Gear to fight Orphenochs. However, she is not as good-willed as she initially appears, and will often agree with Takumi when Keitarou suggests they use Faiz to help more people. She always believes the good in her friends, even Sawada and Takumi after she found out they were Orphenochs as well. She dreams of becoming a beautician. Played by Yuria Haga (芳賀優里亜, Haga Yuria^?). Dubbed by Hazel Hernan in Filipino Dubbed version.
• Keitarō Kikuchi (菊池啓太郎, Kikuchi Keitarō^?): A young man that Mari and Takumi meet by chance not long after receiving the Faiz Gear. Keitarou and his family are dry cleaners and it’s his dream to make everyone in the world happy. As such, he lets Mari and Takumi stay with him and work at his family's dry cleaning business for room and board in hopes the he can encourage them to use the Faiz Gear for good. He exchanges cell phone e-mails with his penpal, Yuka, and becomes infatuated with her in real life, although he doesn't realize that they are the same person until later as the series. In Paradise Lost, he briefly wore the Kaixa Gear. Played by Ken Mizorogi (溝呂木賢, Mizorogi Ken^?).
• Masato Kusaka (草加雅人, Kusaka Masato^?): A member of the Ryuseiji Juku who was apparently absent from the reunion, but signed the autograph card. He is the only member of Ryuseiji Juku who was capable of wearing the Kaixa Gear without disintegrating afterwards and as such is the Gear’s primary wearer. Mari often saved him from bullies in his youth and as a result he has fallen in love with her and is willing to go to elaborate lengths to eliminate any obstacles between him and her. He also vehemently deplores Orphenochs, regardless of whether they "have souls" or not and swears to destroy them all. His hatred was driven by the events that took place at the Ryusei Juku reunion and he continually wipes his hands to remove the imagined blood he remembers from that night. As a Kamen Rider, he had a habit of moving his hand around his neck in the fashion of straightening a tie. Masato Kusaka is the only character to ahve worn all three of the Kamen Rider belts (Faiz, Kaixa and Delta). The Kaixa Gear is his primary belt. He wore the Faiz Gear to trick Yūji Kiba. He wore the Delta Gear to battle the Beetle Orphenochs (Rhinoceros and Stag). Played by Kōhei Murakami (村上幸平, Murakami Kōhei^?).
• Yūji Kiba (木場勇治, Kiba Yūji^?): A young man who becomes a "natural" Orphenoch after dying as a result of a car-crash, although he lived in a comatose state for two years. Upon reviving, and finds his life in ruins. He kills his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend in hot blood. He quickly comes to deplore Smart Brain's tactics and resolves to become an Orphenoch who will protect humans and fight Smart Brain. After he believed Yuka to have been killed by the police, he turns against his ideals and eventually replaces Murakami as the chairman of Smart Brain. Played by Masayuki Izumi (泉政行, Izumi Masayuki^?).
• Yuka Osada (長田結花, Osada Yuka^?): A teenage girl who is bullied terribly by her younger sister and other girls in her school and basketball team. Yuka's parents favored her sister over her. After suffering extreme emotional stress she falls down snow covered stairs and revives as an Orphenoch, and slaughters the entire basketball team, her sister included. She meets Kiba Yuji, and agrees with his ideals of protecting humans, although occasionally kills humans who seem bad (bullies, etc). without others knowing. She exchanged e-mails with Keitarou before (and to a lesser extent after) becoming an Orphenoch, and seemed to have a semi-romantic relationship. She later developed a strong crush on Naoya, though he did not reciprocate. Eventually she and Keitarou come to realize who the other was, and they had a brief relationship before she was killed by Kageyama (How she died in Kageyama's hands is not shown in the series, so it is unclear). Played by Yoshika Katō (加藤美佳, Katō Yoshika^?).
• Naoya Kaidō (海堂直也, Kaidō Naoya^?): A young man turned into an Orphenoch by Toda Eiichi, the temporary Chief of Smart Brain, to make an example to Kiba and Yuka of how Orphenochs must make allies. He is an overly eccentric person prone to incredibly fast speeches and constant mood swings. He played the guitar in his younger days, but sabotage from his teacher destroyed some of the motorskills in his left hand, forcing him to abandon his music. After struggling with his nature as an Orphenoch, Naoya ends up living with Kiba and Yuka, although he is the least concerned about protecting humans. At times he sides with Smart Brain over Kiba and Yuka, but his powerful conscience often stops him from committing heinous acts at the last second. He eventually develops a partnership with Keitarou, which results in many harebrained schemes to win the respected woman of their desire. He briefly wore the Riot Trooper gear under Kiba Yuji's rule in Smart Brain. He greatly mistreats Yuka accidentally due to her crush on him. However, in Paradise Lost he reciprocates. He lived on after Kiba and Yuka's death in the television series, but died in the movie. Played by Mitsuru Karahashi (唐橋充, Karahashi Mitsuru^?).

Takumi Inui, Kamen Rider Faiz, was once regarded as mankind’s savior until he was captured by Smart Brain's troops and presumed dead. Since then, human rebel groups have staged attacks on Smart Brain's complex in an attempt to steal the top-secret Emperor Belts, but with no success. Kiba, Kaidō and Osada, three Orphenochs who sympathize with the human race, attempt to ease tensions between both races but their peace meeting is interrupted by Smart Brain's troops and their newest warrior, Kamen Rider Psyga. Takumi, who had been living in secrecy over the past few years, regains his memory and becomes Kamen Rider Faiz again to settle a score with Smart Brain once and for all. A multiverse (or meta-universe) is the hypothetical set of multiple possible universes (including our universe) that together comprise all of physical reality. ...
