Building a Bastard: Masato Kusaka || Kamen Rider Kaixa

Happy Kaixa Day! Been wanting to cover Rider material for a long time now and today is the best reason too. So let's celebrate I wanted to look at one of the most famous Kamen Rider Faiz's characters Masato Kusaka, best known as Kamen Rider Kaixa.

@@JohnWick-rh1zz Nah. Kusaka still deserves it after what he does in the novel.

[@neilisawesome2333]

@@AlonzoTompkins Poor Mari, kusaka NTR'd takumi, hell he wasn't a ugly bastard

[@davidgarcia32323]

Kaixa always seemed like a Showa era rider in a heisei era show. Kusaka was basically destined to become kaixa like most Showa riders, while takumi stubbles upon Mari twice and becomes faiz, like most heisei era riders who randomly find a driver or belt and don’t know what’s going on.

[@secretasianman108]

Most Showa Rider's weren't "destined" tho? The thematic crux of they is that they were victims of, or bear witness to, senseless acts of violence and evil. It drives them to combat those forces, lest it spread further. The "destined" Rider is a late Showa trope, really only prevalent in Black (and by extension, RX). If anything, it's the opposite, Takumi's the more traditional Showa-esque Rider. He stumbles into the bigger pictured by chance, and, forced to see tragedy unfolding around him, comes to conclude that "if fighting's a sin, then let me be damned." He very much follows the same narrative beats as his forebears, just at a slower tempo. Kusaka very much breaks that convention, he's the only one who can safely use the Kaixa Gear and is thus, "destined" for the role. By extension, he's also an entitled arse, caring more for what the belt can do for HIM, as oppose to what it can do for others.

[@thed4rknss673]

@@secretasianman108 yep, showa riders is about using a "evil power" to do good things, the Kaizou Ningen trope. Black and RX change this a bit but still the same trope

[@jettrooperjp5142]

Not only has Kusaka become one of, if not the most infamous character in all of Kamen Rider, I’d go as far to say he’s also one of the most despicable characters in any piece of media I’ve seen. First, he doesn’t necessarily have a big motive for why he does what he dose, he’s just an individual who’s morality is severely warped from unresolved trauma. He’s become so delusional that he doesn’t even have a moral compass. He simply gets a kick out of sabotaging Takumi’s friendships and framing misunderstandings. But easily the most terrifying aspect about him is why he fights orphenocs. His entire motivation on fighting orphenocs isn’t to save people, but it’s out of prejudice against them purely because he hates them. It doesn’t matter if they are innocent or not. But as rotten as he is, he also remains one of the characters I remember most.

I know they don't always get as many views as when you cover super popular stuff, but it's super rad to still see you make a video about media you're passionate about. I think a lot of people who cover anime or other media usually find their niche and just never leave it, so trust me when I say: Thank you for making interesting videos about stuff I'd never know, or think about, otherwise. They're always really awesome.

Waiting for CSM kaixa gear 2.0

[@rafdimm]

Inoue clearly loves his iconic characters, Yuki Gai from Jetman, Kusaka, and probably Tsubasa and Kijino from Donbrothers since they got more story focus

[@Pefonmo]

Kusaka is also a great way to represent themes of morality Inoue is so fond of. His goals are just and he is definitely working against the bad guys, but his methods and reasons are hardly heroic. Also, shout out to Murakami's character in Ultraman Mebius, who even does the Kusaka grin but turns out to be his very opposite.

[@kaisercrimson_1]

If you like Kusaka, you'd love Tsuyoshi Kijino / Kiji Brother from Avataro Sentai Donbrothers. Give it a watch if you're craving more Inoue!

[@skyrogue1977]

In Shinta Reviews Faiz review, he brought up the possibility of Kusaka secretly being an Orphonoch given how he could use the Kaixa gear for so long without dying. If that were the case, you know his ego would go 180 and believe that Orphonoch’s are true race to rule.

[@e-tan3911]

Nah I 100% believe he'd go a Sasword route. He'd pretend to be on the Worm's side, but would want to die because his pride would not allow him to be anything other than human.

[@jouheikisaragi6075]

Well.... In the novel he turns out to have been revived as the Spider Orphnoch and did plenty of warcrimes. But that's its own continuity.

[@plasmaxander912]

I'm glad you're covering something Tokusatsu related, people overlook it but the medium produced my favourite piece of media ever created, that being Hibiki, not to mention it has way more depth than people think.

[@leviettri3576]

Sadly Hibiki's second half was ruined. One of my all time favourites but the production issues still made me feel sad of how much of a Toku masterpiece it could've been

[@fakhrirasyad547]

Yeah, i liked hibiki because the premise is unlike most kamen rider, in hibiki the riders can be anyone and the fact that the battle between the oni and makamou have been going for generations makes it interesting

[@MegaMask335]

I had only finished Faiz last year so my overall opinions on it are still developing (it's really good). I hated Kusaka on my first watch because he started the most conflict between Takumi's and Yuji's groups for what felt like petty reasons on a surface level. Yet as much as I hated him in the show, there was always a 'love-to-hate' aspect around him that fascinated me. This video really opened my eyes to the sheer number of layers this character has. I never realized until now that underneath his facade of elegance and control, Kusaka was living solely by a dream of spite and fear that ended up being his downfall, juxtaposed by Takumi never having a dream and finding one after he breaks his self-imposed barriers and learns to accept others. Kusaka might be one of the most tragic characters in Rider from what I've seen (Yuto Sakurai still wins the title for most tragic imo) but unlike most of them who you often feel bad for, Kusaka's tragedy is less empathetical but you can sort of understand his troubled mindset when considering the stuff he went through. Despite fighting alongside the protagonists with little trouble, he never truly grows past his trauma and dies at the hands of the very suit only he could safely use out of the Ryusei school students. Inoue, Murakami, and Ito all did a fantastic job at creating this twisted yet tragic character. This was a wonderful video to watch, the DDS music was a great choice! I'd love to see you make more videos about Tokusatsu characters like one of the Ryuki riders or Kaito Kumon (KR Baron) from Gaim. Happy belated Kaixa day!

[@dragonknight1560]

Bliss this sad psychopath. Ah Kamen Rider, you make me smile more than any series period and Faiz vest moments truly show it especially with Masato showing his love for the woman he will protect and any he will annihilate that stand in his way. Funny thing about Masato and Takumi, they are opposite. Takumi has a rough appearance, always scowling or serious due to his Orphnoch existence but he has a good heart, always selfless to help others even when he shouldn't... while Masato has his elegant appearance, heroic and charming that embodies his dreams but he is a twisted being in the inside, only doing things for his selfish actions like protect Mari or kill all Orphnoch... or kill Takumi whenever he gets the chance or benefits him. It's a good yin-yang. Astonishing video. I kinda hope you do more Rider videos like this. It's always nice to have someone just do these character analyzed since none in KZbin have done it for Kamen Rider... that wasn't in Spanish or another language.

[@animeironist]

Excellent video! It is always a great pleasure to have another in depth kr video like this in the fandom. You really do understand Kusaka to the core. He’s one of my favorite KR characters since day 1, I remember watching the show for the first time as a kid and liking him more than Takumi. He really is the perfect opposite to Takumi’s character in every way. The funny thing is, Kusaka could had very much been a hero like the main rider if not for his petty rivalries and schemes. The story of Faiz was always about moving past tragedies and the hardships of dreams. Kusaka similar to another mc of the show, never really got over his tragic past and tragedies. Instead of moving onwards, he succumbs to the events and loses his own self. He never gets over Mari or his past, thus developing a savior complex. This savior complex of his has also indirectly caused a lot of bs in the story due to his schemes.. Unlike Takumi who moved from point A to point B, Kusaka always stayed constant and never changed. Even when he realizes the truth by the end of the series, the poor dude gets murked by getting jumped. His story really is a tragedy just like a lot of characters in this show. I would love to go on more but this comment has gone long enough 💀I hope you make more videos about the characters in the franchise!!

WONDERFUL breakdown. You've perfectly laid down the reasons why Kusaka is my favourite piece of shiet character of all time (get in line, Homelander), and how Faiz would've not been the phenomenon it was if it wasn't for his presence. It's very interesting how Murakami was inspired by Hagino's performance in Ryuki to try for the role. Personally I think Ouja/Asakura is still a whole different beast from Kusaka. "Man literally too evil to die" is how I'd describe him. I hope you'll consider dedicating a video for him as well.
