An Unbreakable Bond Ch. 7

I am back and finally here with chapter seven. Hopefully this chapter will make up for how short chapter six is. lol Hopefully not many typo’s in this, I spent forever going over it just to make sure. A few more characters enter this fic, starting here. :) Also for some clarification on the ages in this story:

Karin & Yuzu Kurosaki = 15.

Ichigo Kurosaki = 19.

I know it is told in the story that Ichigo is a senior, let’s just say him and his friends all graduate at 19. I mean they seriously missed a lot of school in the manga, maybe they all got held back a grade? LOL Just go with me here. lol Also, did anyone else know Toshiro Hitsugaya’s age is 80 and he is supposed to appear 10? I always figured he was ‘younger’ then Rukia. So let’s say in this (since its been like three years) he’s more 83 looking like he’s 15. LOL

Disclaimer: I don’t own Bleach. (just my love for writing fics)

Chapter 7. Connections

Rukia's eyes fluttered open at the sound of birds chirping outside the window. She blinked a few times before looking over towards her right, where Ichigo was still asleep. She couldn't help giving a smile, seeing his face buried in the pillow. She went to sit up, as he moved to lay on his back, clearly still asleep. An idea popped into her head.

Leaning forward, face hovering over his. She watched as his eyes started to flicker open before she bent down, pressing her lips to his. She heard him make a sound in the back of throat, obviously surprised. He responded back slowly, hand reaching to entangle in her hair. She pulled back after a moment, opening her eyes and gazing down at him.

He was blushing slightly, before giving her a smirk and leaning up to lay back on his elbows. She sat back, giving him a coy smile back.

"Morning to you too, Midget."

Her eyebrow twitched at his words, before she stuck her leg out, pushing her foot into his side. He fell onto the floor, wrapped up in his bed sheets. She couldn't help but smirk as she looked over the bed to see him tangled in the bed sheets; glaring up at her.

"Don't you think you should be calling me something else now?" He squinted at her, trying to see where she was going with this.

"Such as?" She laid sideways on the bed, head poking out over the bed to look at him still on the floor; elbows propped up and her head in her hands.

"I don't know.. like 'dear' or 'hunny' or even 'bunny'" Her eyes lit up at the last one, as he cringed. He could not imagine calling her that. Plus he hated bunnies.

"I would rather jump off my roof in human form then call you that." He muttered, still cringing. She rolled her eyes at his exaggeration.

"Plus, no matter what I call you you're still a midget so I might as well-"

Before he could finish his face was being smothered by his pillow as she straddled his waist. He flailed his arms before reaching for her wrists, trying to get the pillow off. She laughed above him before pulling the pillow off, his face was red as he panted for air.

"Why you-" he sputtered before he realized she was on top of him. His face then became red for a different reason. All she could do was smile in accomplishment.

"Ichigo, you are a fool." She said sweetly to him before getting out of his lap and going to grab some clothes from the dresser drawer. He untangled himself out of the sheets with a huff before laying them back on the bed where they belonged. He watched her walk to the bedroom door and open it as he walked behind her, shutting it before she could walk out. She turned around, willing to throw another pillow in his face until he leaned down to kiss her. He put his hands on her waist, gently pushing her back into the door and slightly pulling away to look at her with a smile on his face.

"Still a fool." She whispered out before leaning up and kissing him back.

An hour later the pair were dressed and ready for the new day; cooking breakfast. Isshin sat at the kitchen table with them, sipping his coffee. Once done they sat down at the table in silence and ate before Rukia spoke up. "When will your sisters be home?" she asked, as she finished off her eggs with vigor. She could get used to his cooking.

"Should be another hour I think?" Ichigo said, looking at the clock. It was an hour before noon. Rukia nodded her head before sipping her coffee.

"Do you have any plans today Isshin?" She asked, turning her head to looking over at him. He looked up from his newspaper givng her a smile before replying.

"Just clinic work today my dear third daughter! It's usually pretty busy in the summer." He got up to put his empty coffee cup in the sink before walking over to Ichigo and ruffling his hair. Ichigo batted his hand away in annoyance. Rukia laughed.

"Alright kids, I'll be in the clinic. If it's not busy I'll be back in an hour to see my two lovely daughters reunite with their wonderful third!" He exclaimed loudly before running over to the poster of Masaki with tears streaming down his face talking about how happy he was to know his daughters will be reunited soon.

Ichigo ignored him while he finished his breakfast. Rukia watched on in amusement before looking over to Ichigo, who rolled his eyes in response muttering 'crazy old man' under his breath as Isshin left to head to the clinic,

Rukia got up as Ichigo finished and cleared the plates off the table. She began washing them as he stood beside her grabbing a clean towel to dry them with.

"You know you don't have to do that, right? You're on vacation." He said before grabbing the clean plate from her hands and beginning to dry it before setting it in the rack.

"I actually enjoy washing dishes. I don't get to do stuff like this while living in the Kuchiki Estate."

She didn't get to do any chores living with her brother. Then again she was always busy with paperwork and the duties that come with being a Lieutenant.

But she still enjoyed the simple things. Ichigo nodded in understanding while he continued to dry the washed dishes.

"I thought you'd be moved out of the Estate to be honest, since you're a Lieutenant now." He said, while he finished drying the last dish. Rukia turned the water off, mulling over his words. She went to dry her hands before leaning her back on the kitchen counter.

"I thought about it.. I was given the option once I was promoted. Lieutenants and Captains have their own corridors in their Division. But after the war with Aizen.. It wouldn't have felt right to leave the Estate. Nii-sama was very worried about me." She said softly, before looking at the ground. Ichigo couldn't help but be a little surprised hearing that her brother was very worried. He knew that Byakuya cared for his adopted sister. He was just never very good at showing it. Noticing her declining mood, he grabbed her hand and led her to the living room sofa. They sat down next to one another as he waited for her to continue.

"He has been pushing for awhile about me taking some time off to relax. He knew how hard it was for me after returning to Soul Society. I really think he knew I missed you."

She glanced over at him then as he gave her an understanding look back. He would always understand. She gave a smile leaning back on the sofa as he did the same. She curled her legs up on the sofa, still holding onto his hand. "I've been thinking the last few months about moving into my own corridors now though. I wont be to far away from the Estate. Ukitake will be in the next corridor over and his illness has been acting up so I think it will be good to be close to him."

Ichigo sat back and though about her words. He was sad to hear about Ukitake not doing too well, the Captain had always been very kind to him. He was happy for Rukia, if she decided to move out of the Estate. He supported her no matter what decision she made on the matter. He couldn't help but to think about his friends in Soul Society.

"How's everyone been doing since the war?" he asked gently. He knew the war with Aizen was a sensitive subject for both of them. He glanced at her, as she looked down at their intertwined hands before leaning into his shoulder.

"It was hard for everyone at first. Renji was okay.. but was worried about everyone else. Rangiku was heartbroken about Gin's death, and she was worried about Captain Hitsugaya.. who still blames himself for what happened to Momo.." she trailed off, feeling a little breathless after saying what she had. She held onto his hand tighter before continuing.

"We all became a lot closer once we returned. We took turns seeing Momo in the hospital, Hitsugaya was there every night and was training every day for months afterwards. It was his way of coping with what had happened. Rangiku made sure to never be too far away. I decided to train with him weekly."

She couldn't help the tears that came to her eyes. She had never been very close to Hinamori but she cared for her just like she cared for every single one of her comrades and friends. It broke her heart to see Rangiku heart broken over the death of Gin, and Hitsugaya heart broken over what happened to his best friend. The times she did train with the 10th Division Captain, the look in his eyes made it very obvious how much he was hurting. Rukia looked up to see Ichigo giving her a concerned look.

"Is Momo still..." he really didn't want to ask the full question. He remembered what had happened to Hinamori very vividly. It was something he had had a few nightmares about. He may not be her friend but she was still his comrade and it hurt to remember. Rukia nodded her head before clearing her throat to explain.

"She is still alive. She's still in a coma though. They don't know if she will ever wake up. Unohana has tried everything she can think of to help her, but nothing has worked. Rukia leaned more into him, giving a shaky sigh before continuing.

"Hitsugaya still trains, not as much as before but still pushes himself when he does. He still visits with Momo almost every night." Rukia then remembered a conversation her and the 10th Division Captain had had a few days before Ichigo had gotten his powers back.

"He's actually been wanting to take a day and get clearance to come to The World of The Living to visit Karin. But he's afraid if he leaves and the worst happens to Momo.. he will not be able to live with himself."

Rukia could feel a migraine coming on, she knew it was from her holding back her tears but she could not let them fall. She had cried enough the last two years. She felt her breathing calm down as she took deep breaths; when she felt Ichigo stroke his thumb over the top of her hand; a silent comfort she was very grateful for.

"After dad told Karin and Yuzu everything, he said Karin asked him if Hitsugaya was still alive. Apparently, she got pretty emotional when he told her that he had gotten injured but he was going to be okay. Karin never gets emotional.. not since after mom died."

Rukia's eyes widened at that. She knew the Captain was friends with Karin but did not realize how much he meant to her. She watched Ichigo as he scrunched up his eyebrows, squinting at nothing in particular. Rukia could only imagine where his mind was going.

"You don't need to worry, Ichigo. Karin may be friends with a Shinigami but no harm is going to come to her. I wish he would visit though.. he needs some time away. I really think it would make him feel better if he saw a friend." Ichigo sighed at her words, while hanging his head. He knew she was right. As Karin's brother, it was just weird to think about.

"Ah, I know. It just kind of weirds me out. I mean, Karin is the same age as I was when I met you!" He said while rubbing his neck. Rukia leaned forward and smirked at him, waiting for him to realize what he had just said. A moment later he whipped his head around, looking at her with wide panicked eyes as his mouth fell open.

"You don't think.. I mean, she's fifteen!" He exclaimed loudly. He suddenly felt sick thinking about it. Rukia held back her laugh, not wanting to insult him but it was kiind of funny to see his reaction to the possibility of "feelings" being involved between his sister and Hitsugaya.

"Do you think you loved me the first year you knew me, Ichigo?" she asks with a smile. He looked at her thoughtfully, before he took his hand out of hers and wrapping it around her shoulders.

"I'm positive I did, yeah."

"That first year would you say you protected me with your life?" She asked, leaning more into his chest. He laid his chin on the top of her head, knowing the answer to her question without hesitation.

"I'd say I protected you since the first day I met you, Rukia." she smiled warmly at his response.

"Then you have nothing to worry about. Plus they're just friends." He sighed again before looking up at the ceiling.

"I mean how old even if he? Is he around your age.. does he still look like he's twelve?"

Rukia couldn't help but laugh out loud at that before playfully slapping him upside the head.

"Hey, It was an honest question."

He rubbed his head before grinning at her, he knew she thought it was hilarious.

"He's gotten a little taller."

"Unlike you?"

"OW! Rukia, that one actually hurt!"

Half an hour later, Rukia is anxiously waiting for Yuzu and Karin to arrive home. She couldn't hide her excitement.

"You're really excited, aren't you?" Ichigo sat on the sofa watching his girlfriend pace the living room floor. Without hearing a response, he got up and stopped her pacing; placing his hands on her shoulders. She looked up at him right as they heard the front door unlocking. Her eyes widened and an excited grin broke out on her face.

"Go hide in the kitchen while I greet them." He whispered before giving her a short kiss. She skipped to the kitchen as Ichigo went to greet his sisters at the door.

"Ichigo, we're home! OH! You're right there." Yuzu laughed, seeing her brother right by the door. Which was very odd for him to do. Karin followed in behind her sister, giving her brother a strange look before her eyes went wide. Ichigo gave a puzzled look back. Karin was looking him like she knew..

'shit, she can sense my spiritual pressure.'

He had completely forgotten that Kain's abilities had grown stronger over the last two years. It seemed after Ichigo's powers were gone, hers grew. Unlike Ichigo, she was very good at sensing reiatsu. It was a good thing Rukia was in a Gigai and had better control over her reiatsu then he did.

"I'm going to put our bags upstairs, Karin. Then let's have a snack." Karin nodded watching her sister go up the stairs before turning back to her brother, an eyebrow raised in question; silently demanding answers. He wondered if he should just play stupid.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Why are you leaking reiatsu everywhere?! I thought your powers were gone." She whispered, even though she knew no one could hear her.

"Let's just say, it's been an eventful weekend." She squinted her eyes at him, urging him to give more information. Thankfully, Yuzu came down the stairs then.

"How was your weekend, Ichigo?" Yuzu asked while heading to the kitchen, Ichigo and Karin trailing behind her.

"I was actually pretty good." He said, with a growing grin on his face. They were very close to finding out why.

"Oh, why's tha-" Yuzu stopped in her tracks. Eyes wide, looking at the raven haired Shinigami standing in their kitchen.

"Hi Yuzu, Karin."

"RUKIA!!" The girls rushed over to her enveloping her in a hug. Ichigo could tell Yuzu was crying, even Karin looked a little teary eyed. Ichigo watched the happy reunion before he glanced over seeing his father behind him, watching as well.

"So son!" Isshin said, slapping his son on the back. Ichigo lurched forward, but caught himself and gave his father an irriated look.

"When should I expect grandchildren?!"

The teens face turned red, scowling at his fathers question before wrestling him to the ground.

"YOU CAN'T JUST ASK SOMETHING LIKE THAT YOU OLD MAN, AND IM ONLY NINETEEN." He screamed at his father while putting him in a head lock. The girls broke a part from their embrace, watching the dramatic scene unfold in front of them.

"BUT IMAGINE HOW BEAUTIFUL THEY WILL BE, SON." Isshin had happy tears streaming down his face as he broke out of Ichigo's head lock. Rukia realizing what the conversation was about, blushes before walking to the dramatic men before grabbing Ichigo by the ear and dragging him away from his overly enthusiastic father.

"OW, OW, DAMMIT RUKIA, you're gonna tear my ear off!" Rolling her eyes, she let go before walking back over to the girls who looked highly amused at the scene that just unfolded in front of them. Shortly after, they sat down at the table; as Ichigo and Isshin brushed themselves off before sitting down as well.

"Rukia, how are you here?! Did Ichigo get his powers back?!" Yuzu asked excitedly as she looked between Rukia and Ichigo.

"Yes, he did. Kisuke developed a sword that I was able to draw my spiritual energy into and I was able to give him half of mine." she stated softly, a growing grin on her face. Yuzu teared up again before getting up and giving Rukia another hug.

"Thank you so much! He's been so sad since you've been gone!" She stated tearfully into Rukia's shoulder. Rukia softly patted her on the back before Yuzu pulled away and sat back down.

"I understand. I was very sad too." she confessed, her gaze turning to Ichigo. In moments like this it hit her all at once that she was the opposite of sad now. She went from being incredily depressed to incredibly happy in three weeks time.

"How long are you staying?" Karin questioned.

"I have twelve more days here before I have to head back. I was able to request two weeks off once Ichigo got his powers back." The girls smiled happily at her before Rukia turned her gaze to the center of the table, her face turning somber.

"I want to apologize to you both. I should have explained what had happened before I left. It was unfair to you both for me to leave without saying why." The twins eyes widened at her words, realizing she was blaming herself. To everyone's surprise, Karin spoke before Yuzu could.

"You don't need to apologize, Rukia. Dad told us everything. I will admit.. I was angry at first because I didn't understand. But I get it now." Rukia met Karin's eyes, seeing complete understanding in them.

"Karin is right. It's nothing you need to be sorry about. We know it was very hard for you to go back after Ichigo lost his powers." Yuzu said softly, before reaching a hand out over the table to grab Rukia's.

"You're so strong, Rukia.You and Ichigo both." Yuzu said smiling, feeling the tears in the back of her eyes. Rukia felt her own tears in the corners of her eyes.

She knew they were her family. She couldn't imagine them not in her life. Her connection to Ichigo was life altering, in a way she had never experienced before with anyone else. She felt so lucky to be able to have a connection with his family as well.

For the next hour the Kurosaki family sat around the kitchen table catching up. Yuzu made tea and brought out some chips and cookies for everyone to much on as they all chatted.

"So how have things been for you, Rukia?" Yuzu asked sweetly before grabbing another cookie.

"Things have been good. I was promoted to Lieutenant." She said proudly. They all grinned and congratulated her.

"Thank you. Aside from that it's been.. busy. But things have calmed down since the war. Things have gotten a lot better over the weekend as well, since Ichigo got his powers back." she turned her gaze to Ichigo who was trying not to blush, realizing what exactly she was tallking about. She met his eyes and couldn't help but smirk.

"What was THAT?" Karin questioned rather bluntly, eyebrows raised at her brother and the Shinigami.

"Hmm? What was what?" Ichigo asked, breaking his eye contact with Rukia who in turn stifled a laugh behind her hand.

"Ohhhh! I saw it too, Karin!" Yuzu said excitedly, leaning forward on the kitchen table while looking between the two. Rukia felt her face heat up at their realization.

"Something happened between you two! I can feel it! Do you guys even realize what your reiatsu does when you're near each other now?" Karin questioned them, while leaning on the kitchen table as well. She was obviously smirking, waiting for them to fess up what she already knew.

"Wha-? What are you talking about?" Rukia was rather confused. She knew she was good at hiding her reiatsu, Ichigo not so much. Was her reiatsu coming out when she was near Ichigo and didn't even realize it?

"You haven't noticed? It's like.." Karin then made a weird swirling motion with her hands.

"It's like.. swirling together? Or more like recognizing each other and meeting? It's kind of cool, I've never seen anything like it before." Karin said with a grin on her face, patiently waiting for them to confess. Yuzu squinted at the pair, as if she was trying to see their spiritual pressure too. Rukia's eyes met Ichigo's again, waiting for him to say something. Ichigo realized they were all looking at him, even his father was with his elbow propped up on the table and holding his head in his hand.

"Please, do tell son." Isshin said with a huge grin on his face, which only made Ichigo turn more red. He scowled before throwing his hands up in defeat.

"Fine! You guys figured it out. I shouldn't really be surprised. Me and Rukia.. are together now."

Their were gasps around the table, even from his father. Ichigo glared at him, laying his hand on the table.

"Why are you sounding so surprised? You found out the night she came back!" He stated with clear agitation in his voice. The girls laughed before speaking up with excitement.

"I'm so happy for you both!" Yuzu squealed excitedly, practically bouncing out of her chair.

"Me too. It's about time." Karin said while leaning back in her chair, a smirk still present on her face. The new couple blushed, looking down at the table.

"Thank you both. And I agree, it was about time." Rukia said, laughing in her voice. The girls laughed at her remark before laughing even harder at seeing how red their brothers face was.

Once they were calmed down, Rukia glanced over at Karin. She knew she wanted to talk to her about something and felt now was the time.

"Karin. Would it be okay if you talked with me upstairs for a minute?" Karin looked over at Rukia, confusion in her eyes.

"Sure." She got up, and Rukia followed. She passed Ichigo, giving him a kiss on the cheek before following Karin up the stairs. She heard Yuzu squeal and Ichigo mutter 'oh, shut it' before making it all the way up the stairs. Karin went to her room, Rukia right behind her. Once inside she shut the door behind her. Karin went to sit on her bed and Rukia went to sit on Yuzu's. Karin had her back to the wall, her lehs cross crossed as she looked back at Rukia.

"So what did you want to talk about?" She was rather curious about what her shinigami friend had to say. Rukia gave a sigh before looking up, meeting the young girls eyes.

"I want to talk to you about Tōshirō Hitsugaya." Karin's eyes widened at her reply. She hadn't heard his name in a long time.

"I know he's your friend. I also know your father talked to both you and Yuzu and told you everything, and he told you Hitsugaya did survive the war." Rukia looked down at her hands resting in her lap. Karin felt her heart race up and Rukia talked about her friend.

"He has told me himself that he's been wanting to visit you the last two years, but there is a reason why he hasn't been able to." Rukia looked up at Karin. Her eyes were wide and Rukia could tell she was slightly shaking. Rukia slowly stood up from Yuzu's bed and went to sit next to Karin. She sat cross legged next to Karin before continuing.

"During the war.. his best friend Hinamori Momo was severely injured, because of Aizen." Rukia heard the young girls breath hitch. Rukia instinctively took a hold of one of her hands in hers and held it between them. She didn't think Karin even noticed.

"He.. he told me about her. How he grew up with her. She's like a sister to him." Karin blinked back tears, feeling the pain in her chest knowing her white haired friend has been hurting all these years.

"What exactly happened to her?" She asked hesitantly. She wanted to know but she was scared. She knew the war with Aizen was awful, with many people injured and dead. She was furious Aizen had done this to her loved ones.

"I feel it is not my place to tell you, it's Tōshirō's. The only reason he has not visited is because Momo is in a coma, and has been since the war. He's afraid to leave Soul Society, even for a day. Because he is scared the worst will happen to her. He will never be able to live with himself if the worst does happen and he isn't there by her side."

Rukia took a deep breath, trying not to become emotional. This was a very hard conversation to have with Ichigo's little sister. She knew it was effecting Karin, because her hold on Rukia's hand tightened as she bowed her head and held back her tears.

"I know.. this is hard to hear. But I know you needed to know. Tōshirō is also my friend and means a great deal to me. I want to help him, just as I'm sure you want to as well." Rukia scooted closer to Karin as the younger girl trembled.

"He didn't deserve this, neither did Momo. He is a good person, Rukia." Karin looked up then, a few tears leaking out as she looked at her friend that she saw as an older sister.

"I know, you are right. I don't understand why bad things happen to good people." Rukia said softly, through her own tears that she was holding back. Rukia thought about what she could do to help her friends. Then an idea came to her. She jumped out of the bed, motioning for Karin to follow her. She entered Ichigo's room and went to his desk where she had laid out a few of her things. Seeing the Soul Candy, she showed it to Karin and explained what it was for.

"I'm going to use this and enter my Soul Reaper form." She went to lay on Ichigo's bed, so her Gigai would not fall on the floor.

"Once I do, I'm going to summon a Hell Butterfly. They can be used to send messages to Soul Reapers in Soul Society. I can send a message to Tōshirō. What would you like me to tell him?"

Karin gaped at her, realizing what Rukia was telling her. She sat next to Rukia on the bed, her mind blank for a moment. As she thought, Rukia popped the Soul Candy in her mouth beside her in Soul Reaper form, sitting beside her on the bed.

"Can you tell him.. I understand why he hasn't visited. Tell him my father told me everything about Ichigo and about the war with Aizen. And that I don't know what exactly happened to Momo, but I'm sorry. And he's not alone." Rukia smiled at her, before nodding her head. She went to summon the Hell Butterfly before Karin stopped her, laying a hand on her wrist.

"And also that I miss him too." She whispered. Rukia looked into the young girls eyes, understanding.

"Ofcourse, Karin."

Karin watched as she summoned the Hell Butterfly. It landed on Rukia's finger, and she watched as Rukia closed her eyes and silently communicated the message. Once she was done, it flew off her finger and went out the bedroom window, heading towards it's destination.

"Thank you, Rukia."

"Anytime, Karin."

In the tenth Division, Captain Hitsugaya sat at his desk trying to focus on paperwork. It had been hours and as hard as he tried, he couldn't focus. His Lieutenant was nowhere to be seen and he sighed in aggravation at the thought of that. He considered going out to train for a few hours but knew he shouldn't. He had recently gotten word Momo's health was starting to rapidly decline. He felt it was best not to stray too far from her, just in case. He looked up and sighed again, before he noticed a Hell Butterfly heading towards him. Confused, he lifted up his finger as it lands at it's destination.

His eyes widen in shock at hearing Rukia's voice but even more so at what she has to say. Once the message has ended, the Hell Butterfly vanishes and he leans back into his chair before looking out the window; a small smile on his face. Karin may not be someone he has known for decades, yet it still felt like they had known each other that long; if not longer. He had felt a connection to her in a way that he really had only ever had with a few people. He was happy to hear from Karin Kurosaki. It was the best thing to happen to him in a long time. But his eyes grew sad, thinking back to Momo. Knowing what was surely to happen soon.

"I am sure you will see me soon, Karin Kurosaki."

*I’m very sorry I made a mistake in the name of the film so I edited.

How did the film ‘Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever’ become ‘Den-O Film’? Sato Takeru’s thoughts were revealed.

22:19 December 27, 2018 My Natalie

To celebrate the release of the 20th anniversary film, ‘Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever’, ‘Den-O Night’ was held at Shinjuku Wald 9 in Tokyo on December 27 and Seki Toshihiko and Yusa Koji, the voice actors, Kobayashi Yasuko, the scenario writer, and Shirakura Shinichiro and Takebe Naomi, the producers, appeared on the stage. •CAUTION:This article includes spoilers.

Seki

In the film ‘Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever’, now showing, Sato Takeru, who played the lead in ‘Kamen Rider Den-O’, made a guest appearance. In addition, voice actors for Imagins, such as Seki Toshihiko, and Ishimaru Kenjiro as Owner also played in the film. In this event, after showing the film, five people who were involved in ‘Den-O’ appeared on the stage. Seki as Momotarosu said with a smile, ‘I hear that after eleven years since the TV series Den-O’ ended, its fans have grown into fathers and mothers and they are spreading ‘Den-O’ to their children. It made me surprised and happy. I think ‘Den-O’ will keep running.’

Yusa as Uratarosu referred to numerous spin-off works, saying, ‘Usually, Kamen Rider series change to the next drama year after year, but somehow ‘Den-O’ continued for three or four years ... When we appear on the stage like this, I can feel your relaxed atmosphere. It is very ‘Den-O’-like’.

Kobayashi Yasuko

Kobayashi was in charge of supervising the scenario for ‘Den-O’ part in ‘Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Final: Build & Ex-Aid with Legend Rider’. She wrote the scenario related to Den-O for the first time since Cho-Den-O Trilogy

series. ‘It has been really a long time after that, but once I got started, the lines emerged just like before’, she reflected.

When Yusa talked about the frequent improvisations of suit-actors, Shirakura revealed bts, ‘When I asked Takaiwa Seiji-san to play all the Den-O forms, he made a cryptic condition, saying ‘Hmm, please put Ogura Toshihiro-san in Ryutarosu’. I suspected they must be up to something as Momo and Ryu; they started to plan something as soon as they knew it’.

Shirakura Shinichiro

Asked why he featured Den-O in this film, Shirakura explained; ‘Den-O deals with ‘time’ just like ‘Kamen Rider Zi-O’, so we thought it would be impossible to absorb the factor of ‘Den-O’ unless we place it as a major part. It seems that once we introduced Den-O, the film was taken over. It turned out to be a Den-O film after a long interval since ‘Trilogy’ lol’.

Kobayashi and others also revealed the reason why Ryotaro, which Sato played, appeared as’U-Ryotaro’ possessed by Uratarosu. It was based on the idea of Sato himself; ‘I can play U-Ryotaro but if I played Ryotaro without Imagin at my age now, it would ruin people’s dreams. It is good that Ryotaro has grown up after ten years, but on the other hand, it means it will break their dreams’.

Yusa recollected and said, ‘Takeru-kun’s voice was calm. Ten years ago, we completely possessed Ryotaro’s personality, but now, as Ryotaro has grown up, I acted to blend, or a bit approach Takeru-kun.

Takebe Naomi

Seki said excitedly about the conversation between Ryotaro and Momotarosu, ‘In the final episode of the TV series, Yasuko-san wrote the line ‘Someday in the future’. It flashed back during the post-recording. That is really a memorable line, isn’t it? I wondered if you were a prophet!’

Seki also confessed that he had visited a theater to see the reaction of the audience on the day of the release because Sato’s appearance was not disclosed a bit until the premiere. The fact was revealed that, at first, even Shimoyama Kento, the scenario writer of this film, was not informed of Sato’s appearance. To hear that, the audience gasped in surprise.

Posters of the films shown in this event; Saraba Kamen Rider Den-O the Movie: Final Countdown director’s cut version, Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever, and Kamen Rider Den-O the Movie: I'm Born!

At the end of the event, comments from Den-O cast were read. Terasoma Masaki as Kintarosu said, ‘I wept over your hot heart!!’ and Suzumura Kenichi as Ryutarosu said, ‘I love Den-O, OK? Your answer doesn’t matter!!’ conveying their affection for their signature phrases.

Ishimaru sent a message, ‘Den-Liner will continue to run forever. Someday, somewhere, again ......

At the end of the talk part, Takebe said, ‘I think we could do a little bigger project (of Den-O), so I will whisper at Shirakura-san’s ear’.

Shirakura said, ‘When I saw Den-Liner this time, I felt how excited I was and that Den-Liner is not just a vehicle but it has a dream’.

Kobayashi said every time she heard the fans say, ’I loved Den-O very much!’, she felt a bit frustrated. She eagerly said, ‘I hope to be able to write something that exceeds this one’.

Yusa talked about the peculiarity of Den-O, ‘Not any of us Imagins intended to save the world in the least lol. But we love Den-O and the story was more peaceful and at home compared with other Riders’.

Seki showed his gratitude for the encounter with Den-O and said, ‘When it was on air, I was 45 years old. Looking back, it might have been a reward from god for my efforts I had made in this world till 45 years’.

•Frank impression in hearing about this offer:

I have always been prepared because I’ve had a feeling that Den-Liner would come to collect me.

•Receiving the offered to play in this film:

I cheered up, ‘OK, here it came!’

•The impression of the reunion and costarring with the familiar members:

Just like before, new ideas overflowed. We shook manly hands with each other and had a very dense and enjoyable time.

•Message to the fans:

Den-Liner will continue to run forever. Someday, somewhere, again ......

•Frank impression in hearing about this offer:

Great for you, Shirakura and Takebe producers! For the last in Heisei period!!

•The impression of the reunion and costarring with the familiar members:

Dir. Yamaguchi was an assistant director as the TV series but now he performed an important duty of closing Heisei Kamen Riders. I can’t help feeling happy as one of the co-workers who were involved in making a film together.

The shooting site was filled with smiles, and it looked just like everyone came back to the hometown.

•Message to the fans:

Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for loving Den-O for a long time.

I wept over your hot heart!!

•Frank impression in hearing about this offer:

I knew about Kamen Rider Zi-O, so I had been looking forward to the offer, wondering, ‘When will they call me?’ But I also thought, ‘Last time only me, out of four Tarosus, wasn’t invited ......’, so I’m happiest ever to be able to join lol.

•The impression of the reunion and costarring with the familiar members:

As for Den-O, somehow, I hadn’t felt nostalgic so much. I’d often seen four Tarosus at the shooting site, so there had been an indescribable sense of activeness in me. But this time, during the post-recording, the moment Sato Takeru-kun was shown on the monitor, I had goosebumps because it brought back memories of the post-recording in those days at once. I realized that definitely time has passed, and at the same time, I felt kind of proud. After eleven years, Den-O can be back again, which shows the work is really wonderful. And I felt that everyone would be surprised and pleased at his appearance. I felt a lump to my throat, re-realizing that I took part in such a great work.

I say in a loud voice again!

‘I love Den-O, OK? Your answer doesn’t matter!!’

•Message to the fans:

It’s a shame that I cannot join Den-O Night, but I let my heart fly there. I hope you have a wonderful night.

Ryuu Masaki's #1!!

This survey of what all the Moon Troupe members like about their Top Star was published in the July 2016 GRAPH, a couple months before her retirement.

This feature always has a lot of emojis being used which I wasn’t able to entirely replicate since I need it to be readable on all platforms...I’m experimenting with how to deal with this sort of thing.

Please note: Ryuu makes a couple comments about her weight/body image that I imagine some readers would want advance warning of.

Ryuu Masaki's #1!!

We surveyed all the Moon Troupe members about what they thought was Ryuu Masaki’s ‘Number One’! And now, what are the results? Have a look, along with Ryuu Masaki’s comments!!

What is your favorite role she has performed?

1. Puck (PUCK) - 18 votes

This is #1? I'm surprised!

"He's an adorable prankster, and sparkling with freedom...Masao's (Ryuu's) best qualities really came out. Also, her unique adlibs left a great impression!!" (Uzuki Hayate)

"I could tell how much fun she was having; she seemed like a real fairy of music!" (Tamaki Ryou)

Everyone, you've been deceived! (laughs) This role has a ton of aspects that aren't at all similar to me. I was longing to do it for so long that I got taken over by the image of it, that's all. However, I did have a ton of fun working on the role! I got to do as many adlibs as I liked (laughs).

2. Ronan Mazurier (1789: Les Amants de la Bastille) - 17 votes

"I thought Ronan's strength and zeal to live suited Masaki-san perfectly." (Harumi Yuu)

"I picked this one because I love Masaki-san's singing and this role had a lot of songs." (Urara Senri)

3. Romeo (Romeo et Juliette) - 8 votes

4. Hamlet (HAMLET!!) - 4 votes

"The rock songs and aesthetic were perfect, I thought." (Kio Kanade)

I thought Hamlet would turn up! (laughs) I loved the poster for that!

4. Scarlett O'Hara (Gome with the Wind) - 4 votes

"It was perfect for her~" (Moeka Yuria)

4. Charles de Durant (Manon) - 4 votes

From Manaki Reika: Andre Grandier <3 (Rose of Versailles: Fersen Edition) “Well...I like Romeo and Bill and Oscar...I like all your roles...but I was able to see your special appearance from the audience, and when I watched you and Oscar's (Sagiri) one night together and how you protected her with everything you had...it was just like you and so cool! I adore Masaki-san's receptiveness <3 <3 I've totally fallen for Masaki-san's Andre <3 LOL”

What, I'm surprised! In that special appearance, I was just performing with my classmate like 'oh, I'm side entertainment' (laughs). It was my first time performing together with Chigi-chan (Sagiri), but we could understand each other's wavelength and it was really fun~

What is her best revue scene?

1. "TAKARAZUKA Flower Poems 100!!" Scene 21: Black Rose, 'Black Rose S' - 19 points

LOL

"It was really sexy and had a big impact on me as a debuting actress." (Sorashiro Yuu)

It was a bit...intense (laughs). Looking back on it I feel like I made it a bit too sexy since that was what came easiest...but there wasn't really any other approach!

2. All her parades - 8 votes

"She gives off such an aura she's like her own power generator and she's so dazzling!" (Saotome Wakaba)

I'll keep sparkling, you know! No worries! (laughs)

3. "TAKARAZUKA Flower Poems 100!!" Scenes 19-20: The Hundred Roses, 'Rose Etoille' - 6 votes

Hahaha! This one!

"You didn't lose to that splendidly styled costume; I don't think anyone else could have produced that marvelous aura." (Natori Rei)

This scene actually had me down for a while...but because I was showing my legs I slimmed down and I felt really good about it (laughs).

4. "TAKARAZUKA Flower Poems 100!!" Scene 14-16: Violet A-C, 'Top Star Gentleman'

"The way she sang and the way her atmosphere changed by the moment were amazing, and she was so gorgeous!" (Tamaki Ryou)

Ah~The French in this was so hard! The director praised me for how I pronounced 'bois' (forest). I can be relied on for at least that much! (laughs)

5. "Fantastic Energy" Scene 3: Passionate, 'Passionate Gentleman S' - 4 votes

From Manaki Reika: "TAKARAZUKA Flower Poems 100!!" Scene 21: Black Rose, 'Black Rose S' "If I'm thinking about Masaki-san, it sort of...has to be...this scene~ It's hardcore, and energetic, and sexy...the Black Rose was amazing!"

I see~ Everyone put it in first place! Well, you're exactly right! Full points! (laughs)

This is her coolest aspect in rehearsals!

1. Lines, music, choreography...she remembers everything so fast! - 20 votes

"She'll have the whole script perfectly memorized the day after we recieve it, and she remembers the choreography faster than anyone else too!!" (Kirami Ruise)

But I forget really fast too (laughs)

2. She has amazing concentration! - 14 votes

"And then when she finally gets tired out I love her playfulness as she's like 'No wa~y, I can't remember any mo~re'" (Nagina Ruumi)

As I thought, you're a good observer. When I say 'no way' I really can't manage any more (laughs)

3. Her fashionable rehearsal clothes - 13 votes

"I love when she wears outfits that work especially because it's Ryuu-san wearing them, or outfits that only Ryuu-san could look good in (like pattern on pattern on pattern)" (Ookusu Tera)

This must have been on a bit of an off day (laughs). It's more like, stars, then dots, then another pattern on top, and it all comes together like 'ahhhh~'. Everyone, pay attention please!

4. Her smile - 11 votes

5. The way she pays attention to everyone individually - 10 votes

5. Her glittering aura - 10 votes

"Basically, the way she never loses her sparkle." (Tamaki Ryou)

Other:

"The way she holds a little onigiri with both hands while she's eating it is so cute that I always end up watching (laughs)." (Hibiki Reona)

Ahaha! (laughs) I didn't even realize I do that! (laughs)

"She always has little bags of things like gummy candies or Jagarico* in her bag so I think it's cute how she'll just pull something out and start nibbling on it!" (Ren Tsukasa)

That's right, every morning I'll fill little ziploc bags with just enough snacks for me to eat (laughs).

From Manaki Reika "This isn't just rehearsal since it includes how she is onstage as well, but...that moment where she concentrates and you can see the switch flip instantly. That aura as she suddenly switches to 'Otokoyaku Ryuu Masaki' is really wonderful <3"

But isn't this what everyone does? The heck is this...are you trying to encourage me? Yes, that's definitely it.

We want to emulate this! (from otokoyaku)

1. Her sparkle - 10 votes

"It seems like she's creating her own light...it makes me wish I could somehow get even close to that level!" (Chinami Karan)

What is this...At times like that I'm putting forth all the energy I can like 'I want to convey my feelings!' so maybe that does it.

2. The way she uses her hands - 9 votes

"Her hand movements are really wonderful. Especially when she spreads out her hands during a revue!" (Miya Rurika)

"Her hand expressions!" (Tamaki Ryou)

I feel like for otokoyaku 'the hands speak more than words', so I really pay attention to what I'm doing with them. Recently my hands have finally stopped being so pudgy so I've started to like them at last.

3. Her gaze - 5 votes

4. Kiss scenes - 3 votes

"In the rehearsals for 1789 I got to be kissed once...it was so heart-pounding..." (Hayaki Yuuto)

Hahaha! (laughs) That's right, once I was wanting to practice the scene where I force a kiss on Olympe (Saotome Wakaba/Umino Mitsuki), so I suddenly got Tsucchii to do Olympe since you were close by. You said 'I've gone back to my real-life self' afterwards (laughs).

Other:

The way her wink almost seems to make a noise. (Ranze Keito)

I put a 'Ching!!' sound effect on it internally! (laughs)

We want her to do this! (from musumeyaku)

1. Gaze at us

"I want her to gaze at me with those sparkling eyes... But at the same time I'm sure I'd surely not be able to stand it so I'd definitely just flee D'X" (Shirayuki Sachika)

If it was junior actress me, I'd be like 'I'll just stare at her until she runs away' (laughs). And while I was staring I'd study your makeup techniques (laughs).

2. Wink

"I used to just blush and not be able to do it... Since becoming Top it's as if I've put a sign out saying 'Now offering: Winks!' (laughs)"

3. Be forceful...

"In The Scarlet Pimpernel, when Chauvelin (Ryuu) was being so forceful with Marguerite (Aono Yuuki), her gestures were really dazzling...I loved it." (Amana Ruria)

Ah, here's Chauvelin, I knew it. You watch a lot! (laughs) I like being forceful as well. But I also like being sweet. Ahahaha (laughs). But isn't that what being an otokoyaku is like?! (laughs)

From Manaki Reika: "I'd like her to gaze at me steadily and stroke my cheek... Eeee! >.< <3 LOL. Yes. I love the way Masaki-san looks at musumeyaku so lovingly, and her hands are so sensitive...the way she can stroke someone's cheek so elegantly and her hands give off a feeling like 'Waaaa' >.< It's really wonderful <3 <3"

You're getting carried away with your fantasy! (laughs) But really, I do it to you so much and you want more!? (laughs)

Final comments from Ryuu Masaki:

You've made me realize once again how much all of you look after me and support me. In these remaining months I want to be cozily surrounded by all of your love! Also, I was pretty surprised by the 'We want her to do this!' section (laughs). From now on I'm going to be looking at everyone like 'this person wants me to do that to them...' (laughs)

* Jagarico is a potato crisps snack.
