Kamen Rider Blade & Kiva Novel Plots Revealed

Thanks to HJU, The plot for the Kamen Rider Kiva and Blade novels have been revealed. While the Kiva novel is a retelling of the series with new elements, much like the Agito and Kabuto novels, the Blade novel is a continuation of the series and thus may contain spoilers for those that have yet to watch or finish Blade: 



The novel is set 300 years after the TV show, during his travels an amnesic Kenzaki finds himself on a prison island. There he may encounter Kamen Rider Chalice, making him the only still living character from the TV Show due to his status as an Undead

Aw man.... I was really hoping the Kiva one would be a continuation. :/

Can't wait to read kiva.

The Blade book sounds pretty cool. I hope we get a good summary of it. The storyline for the Kiva one sounds terrible, though.

Blade's sounds really cool,only sad part is Tachibana probably won't be in it
If Kenzaki survived for that long then the chance that Hajime did too makes me a little more excited for it.

As for Kiva's,they could have done the super obvious thing and did a story about Wataru's son and the Neo-Fangire that they teased at the end of Kiva.I was really bummed that nothing ever came of that and now that they have a chance to do it,they don't.

Yeah, it seems like the Inoue series novels are all going with alternate retellings instead of follow-ups. This is really annoying since two of those shows, 555 and Kiva, are the ones that had really open endings that could have benefited from a sequel - especially 555.

On the other hand, if ANY Rider series NEEDS any sort of retelling with new elements…it's definitely Kiva

Or you can just do what I do and pretend it never happened.

Weeeelll…just pretend that Wataru's portion of the show doesn't exist and bask in the glory that is Ototya

^ This.

Kiva's novel doesn't sound toooo bad... But I much prefer the idea of Otoya being the protagonist. Forever. Wataru can be born at the end.

Blade's actually sounds kinda cool. I recently read about a short story the series writer did which I don't THINK is this novel, but it also sounds pretty cool. I'm curious if the two stories will be tied together at all if they aren't actually the SAME story.

Also I'm curious about the article on the front page here - I thought the Kabuto novel was just a retelling/"director's cut" of the show's finale, not an actual continuation? If so then HJU left a lot of detail out of their summary of it. >_>
