History Series / KamenRiderGhost

[[caption-width-right:350:''My Life, Will Burn Bright!'']]

Yet all is not lost! Takeru's soul [[SoulJar becomes stored within the artifact]] (called an "Eyecon") and he [[FirstEpisodeResurrection is restored to un-life as a ghost]] under the condition that he fight against the Gamma over the scattered Eyecons. If Takeru is able to gather fifteen Eyecons, each containing the brilliant soul of a great historical figure, then he can use their combined power [[MakeAWish to grant any wish he desires]], even being brought back to life.

* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Averted; the Sage gives Takeru the title of "Kamen Rider" along with the Ghost Driver. It's never revealed if there's any deeper significance to the name.

* LighterAndSofter: Despite the ghost theme and its DownerBeginning, the story is optimistic compared to its two previous DarkerAndEdgier installments such as ''Drive'' and ''Gaim''.

* ''Kamen Rider Ghost RE:BIRTH: Kamen Rider Specter'', a direct-to-DVD movie.

[[caption-width-right:350:''All Eyes On Me!'']]

** Ghost: For Ghost's basic forms, the Ore Damashii is a JackOfAllStats, Toucon Boost is a stronger JackOfAllStats,[[note]]ust not stronger enough to qualify it for another category[[/note]] Grateful is a LightningBruiser, and Mugen is a SuperMode. He can then adjust the stats of any of these except Grateful[[note]]which is already channeling the powers of all 15 at once[[/note]] with one of ten heroic Damashii: Musashi and Goemon are {{Glass Cannon}}s, Edison is a MagicKnight, Robin Hood and Billy the Kid are {{Fragile Speedster}}s, Newton and Benkei are {{Mighty Glacier}}s, Beethoven and Himiko are {{Squishy Wizard}}s, and Ryoma is another JackOfAllStats.[[note]]Ryoma gives a minor boost over the base stats, but not much.[[/note]]

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: In #17 and 18, the Newton Eyecon "runs away" because [[HollywoodAtheist it saw its belief in science as incompatible with the mysticism of the newly-joined Himiko Eyecon]]. In reality, Sir Issac Newton was a man of faith who believed in the existence of a benevolent God, even if he did privately profess ideas that would have been considered heretical in his day (see Wiki/ThatOtherWiki's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Isaac_Newton page]] for details).

* BloodlessCarnage: Subverted in regards to the Gamma, who actually ''do'' bleed [[AlienBlood black blood]] when wounded, and spurt a large amount when killed.
** Also, Takeru's shirt is stained with blood when the Gammas kill him.

* ContinuitySnarl: There's a minor one regarding the ''Drive'' crossover appearances since #4 establishes them as canon. They have to happen sometime between the first and fourth episodes, but ''Ghost'' specifies that Takeru's only been dead two weeks at that point while ''Drive'''s timeline places them over two months.

* CreatorCameo: In a sense. One of the toy-exclusive Eyecons represents Creator/ShotaroIshinomori, creator of the ''Kamen Rider'' franchise. However, there isn't a Damashii designed for him- when used in the ''Ganbarizing'' arcade game, his Eyecon seems to represent Grateful Damashii.

* [[DangerousSixteenthBirthday Dangerous Eighteenth Birthday]]: Takeru receives the Ore Eyecon and is killed on the day he turns 18.

** In addition, [[spoiler:Genm and Ex-Aid from ''Series/KamenRiderExAid'' made their debuts in episode 49 and 50 respectively, with Genm's presence actually becoming a plot point in episode 50.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: #8 has the MysteriousBacker explaining the actual Eyecon count, revealing one that's still unaccounted for. Turns out it's [[spoiler:Benkei]]'s Eyecon.

* MagicVersusScience: Onari and Akari frequently bicker over this subject. Ultimately both of them are right, as ghosts in the series are a mixture of magic and advanced nanotechnology.
* {{Magitek}}: The Gamma are actively researching technology to enhance their supernatural powers. The Riders also have some, like the motorcycles and Ghost Gadgets, but it's downplayed in comparison.

* RealityEnsues: The entire series kicks off because Takeru tried to fight two monsters with no formal training or superpowers. He dies on his first day.
** Then in #2, Takeru tries using the [[UsefulNotes/MiyamotoMusashi Musa]][[MasterSwordsman shi]] form against a monster that uses [[ShockAndAwe electricity]]. Turns out using two giant metal swords means you attract and conduct lightning '''very''' easily.

* SoulJar: The Eyecons. The "heroic" Eyecons hold the souls of their historic figures, Ghost's Ore Eyecon holds his own soul, and Specter has an Eyecon with the soul of [[spoiler:his little sister]] during the first part of the series. Ghost's other personal Eyecons are implied to hold souls as well; Toucon Boost appears to be that of [[spoiler:his father Ryu]] and Mugen is implied to be a second Eyecon with Takeru's own power. [[spoiler:The Gamma Eyecons are later revealed to be their own Soul Jars and not their natural form.]] It's not clear if other personal Eyecons like Specter and Necrom have actual souls in them or not, but Deep Specter has [[spoiler:a portion of the Ganmeizer's power]], which may or may not count as an actual "soul".

* SpoilerOpening: As it turns out, the scene in the opening where the Takeru floats with the Eyecons are [[spoiler:foreshadowing for a similar scene in #49. Only this time, Takeru is flying with all 15 Eyecons and instead of just Akari and Onari waiting for him in the ground, this time it's all of his TrueCompanions.]]

* {{Oni}}: Both the title character and [[SixthRanger Kamen Rider Spectre]] are themed after oni and [[GhostLights oni-bi]], with Ghost having one horn and Spectre having two. They barely miss the red oni, blue oni in appearance since [[OrangeBlueContrast Ghost wears orange while Spectre is blue]].

* TheMagicGoesAway: [[spoiler:With the Great Eye disappearing into outer space in #49, the entire Eyecon system ceases to function.]]
* MagicVersusScience: Onari and Akari frequently bicker over this subject. #17 and #18 highlight the theme, as they contrast both of them with Igor (an amoral supernatural scientist) and also show that Newton and Himiko also don't get along for this reason.

* SixthRanger: Kamen Rider Specter started off as an AntiHero. Then there's the villainous Kamen Rider Necrom. As both of them pulls a HeelFaceTurn and joins Takeru in their battle against the Gamma later on.

%%* PreviouslyOn: "My name is Takeru Tenkuji. I was attacked and killed by a Gamma on my 18th birthday. I became Kamen Rider Ghost so I could gather all heroic Eyecons and come back to life."

* [[SixthRanger Secondary Rider]]: Kamen Rider Specter. Later on, there's Kamen Rider Necrom.

The 2015-2016 ''Franchise/KamenRider'' series; the seventeenth entry in the franchise's Heisei era and the twenty-sixth series overall.

-> '''''Eyecon, open your eye!'''''

--> "I am Edison! I am Edison! Are you Edison? No, you are not!"

** When Specter uses the Tutankhamun finisher in its debut, it involves him sending off one of the Gamma to another dimension that appears terrifying, [[spoiler: much like what happened to him.]]

* TheMagicGoesAway: [[spoiler: With the Great Eye disappearing into outer space in #49, the entire Eyecon system ceases to function.]]

** The whole series' premise is one. To revive himself, Takeru has to find 15 Eyecons in 99 days. While it sounds easy on paper, finding a few mysterious objects is really hard when they could be anywhere and represent anyone, [[spoiler: and even worse if someone already has 5 of them with their own intentions in mind.]]

* SpoilerOpening: As it turns out, the scene in the opening where the Takeru floats with the Eyecons are [[spoiler: foreshadowing for a similar scene in #49. Only this time, Takeru is flying with all 15 Eyecons and instead of just Akari and Onari waiting for him in the ground, this time it's all of his TrueCompanions.]]

** The second arc is about [[spoiler: Takeru attempting to connect his heart with the 15 Eyecons as his father's spirit suggested, the relatonship between Makoto and the Gamma royal family and the revelation of the true nature of the Gamma race.]]
** The third arc is about [[spoiler: Alain adjusting to life in the human world after being framed by his older brother, the protagonists' attempts to stop Adel's Demia Project, and the mysteries surrounding the powers that forms the backbone of the Gamma world's existence.]]

** #22 has [[spoiler: Adel murdering Adonis and taking over the position of Emperor while framing Alain for the murder causing Alain to become a fugitive. Takeru also found out about the true nature of the Gamma: All of them are actually beings with corporeal body who transfers their soul to eyecons. Their bodies meanwhile, are kept in stasis inside capsules.]]

--> "[[spoiler:Brother?]] Can I take a guess at what you're thinking about? It's Akari isn't it? [[spoiler:You two were pretty close...]]"

** In Episode 21, at the end of the episode, [[spoiler: a high ranking Gamma, Magister Edith appears to address the entire Gamma family. What makes this a wham shot is the fact that Magister Edith looks ''exactly like Sennin.'']]

--> ''Oyasumi''

* DeathIsCheap: This ''is'' the show where the Riders and monsters are ghosts, so this makes sense, but it is practiced to such an {{egregious}} level. How? Well, [[spoiler:both Makoto and Alain die once in the entire franchise, while Takeru dies about four to ''seven'' times, but they all come back to life in one way or another.]]

** The monsters are called 眼魔 in Japanese, which is pronounced as ''Ganma'', and literally means "Eye-Demon". The official English spelling is "Gamma".[[note]]The singular "n" sound in Japanese is pronounced more like an "m" when used before any of the "m-" (also "b-" and "p-") syllables, and is sometimes written as a double m in older transliterations of Japanese. The name ''ganma'' would actually be read outloud as "gamma", which is why it is used for the Greek letter gamma as well.[[/note]]

Takeru Tenkuji is a young man who dreams of following in his late father's footsteps and becoming a heroic ghost hunter. When he is mailed a mysterious artifact on his eighteenth birthday, supposedly from his father, Takeru suddenly gains the ability to perceive spectral monsters known as "Ganma". But even as he moves to defend his friends from the Ganma, he is cut down without mercy and dies.

Yet all is not lost! Takeru's soul [[SoulJar becomes stored within the artifact]] (called an "Eyecon") and he [[FirstEpisodeResurrection is restored to un-life as a ghost]] under the condition that he fight against the Ganma over the scattered Eyecons. If Takeru is able to gather fifteen Eyecons, each containing the brilliant soul of a great historical figure, then he can use their combined power [[MakeAWish to grant any wish he desires]], even being brought back to life.

* MonsterOfTheWeek: The Ganma, beings from another world.

* TransformationIsAFreeAction: Played straight and justified as if a Ganma tries to attack Ghost while transforming or switching to another form, the Parka Ghost he summons can defend him from incoming attacks or attackers.

* BloodlessCarnage: Subverted in regards to the Ganma, who actually ''do'' bleed [[AlienBlood black blood]] when wounded, and spurt a large amount when killed.
** Also, Takeru's shirt is stained with blood when the Ganmas kill him.

* TheEvilsOfFreeWill: The Ganma don't have much of a sense of individuality and consider it a negative, looking down on humanity since their opposing viewpoints cause so much conflict.

* FacelessGoons: The Ganma Commandos.

** When Specter uses the Tutankhamun finisher in its debut, it involves him sending off one of the Ganma to another dimension that appears terrifying, [[spoiler: much like what happened to him.]]

* FreakyFridayFlip: Ep. 39 has one involving the VictimOfTheWeek (all two of 'em). It's surprisingly similar to the TropeNamer, being a parent and child with longstanding tensions and misunderstanding. However, due to an error, Ganmaizer Magnetic Blade (the culprit behind the Flip who also doubles as the MonsterOfTheWeek) has its mind and body swapped as well, meaning the Flip goes three ways by Ep. 40.
* GottaCatchEmAll: Ghost has to search the world for the 15 Ghost Eyecons before the Ganma can find them.

* InvisibleToNormals: All the ghosts (meaning Takeru, the Sage, Yurusen, and the Ganma), though Takeru can become visible when he wants to (in human form anyway; being invisible as Ghost seems to be involuntary). Takeru's friends do find ways to SeeTheInvisible, though (see below).

* {{Magitek}}: The Ganma are actively researching technology to enhance their supernatural powers. The Riders also have some, like the motorcycles and Ghost Gadgets, but it's downplayed in comparison.

* MeleeATrois: Due to the nature of the Ghost Eyecons, it's natural multiple sides vying for them. By the climax of the first arc, the situation was Kamen Rider Ghost vs the Ganma vs Kamen Rider Specter vs Saionji, all going after the Eyecons for their own reasons. By #15, Kamen Rider Spectre and Ghost are on the same side, but the Ganma still have Alain and Adel, both of who have their differing motivations and a SiblingRivalry between them, keeping it this.

* TheMonolith: Takeru's father found this black rocky structure with the eye symbol on it, and placed it in the underground base more than ten years before the pilot... or possibly built the temple around it. A later episode shows the Ganma trying to build an artificial one for some purpose.
* NoNameGiven: Unavoidable in TheMovie, which promises to revive up to 100 Eyecon luminaries as actual people, while making it impossible to identify every one except by appearance. Some are names already used for certain Ganma, like Guan Yu and the Wright brothers, while others rely entirely on the costume, like the red samurai that may well be Sanada Yukimura.

%%* PreviouslyOn: "My name is Takeru Tenkuji. I was attacked and killed by a Ganma on my 18th birthday. I became Kamen Rider Ghost so I could gather all heroic Eyecons and come back to life."

* RedHerring: After Ghost works out the secret to Insect Ganma's mind control, he goes for all the glowing slugs immediately, but the VictimOfTheWeek still goes off to work on Alain's artificial monolith, giving the impression that it's MoreThanMindControl, which certainly isn't unheard of in ''Franchise/KamenRider''... turns out Alain had thrown in some Ganma Eyecon possession as well.

* RuleOfThree: Takeru messes things up by going against electric-based Ganma with Musashi Damashi - the one armed with two lightning rods - on two occasions. The third time, he deliberately goes with Edison Damashi.

* SeeTheInvisible: There are three ways to see the otherwise invisible Ganma as well as Takeru when he goes invisible: holding an Eyecon in your hands, spraying them with the "Shiranui" chemical, or simply having the Spider Lantern on hand.

* SlowMotionFall: Takeru, when he's killed by a Ganma. There's also a SlowMotionDrop as his necklace breaks and falls to the ground.

* SoulJar: The Eyecons. The "heroic" Eyecons hold the souls of their historic figures, Ghost's Ore Eyecon holds his own soul, and Specter has an Eyecon with the soul of [[spoiler:his little sister]] during the first part of the series. Ghost's other personal Eyecons are implied to hold souls as well; Toucon Boost appears to be that of [[spoiler:his father Ryu]] and Mugen is implied to be a second Eyecon with Takeru's own power. [[spoiler:The Ganma Eyecons are later revealed to be their own Soul Jars and not their natural form.]] It's not clear if other personal Eyecons like Specter and Necrom have actual souls in them or not, but Deep Specter has [[spoiler:a portion of the Ganmeizer's power]], which may or may not count as an actual "soul".

** The humanoid Ganma who was send to help Alain can be translated as "Jabel", "Javel" or "Javelle". TV-Nihon has been translating his name as "Javert", as in InspectorJavert. This is actually more fitting than it seems.
** While the proper pronunciation and translation of the monsters is "Ganma", the show writes it as "Gamma" in English.

* StockFootage: In episode 4, scenes of a part of Japan being lifted into the air from a Ganma's spell were reused from Series/KamenRiderOOO's movie.

** The second arc is about [[spoiler: Takeru attempting to connect his heart with the 15 Eyecons as his father's spirit suggested, the relatonship between Makoto and the Ganma royal family and the revelation of the true nature of the Ganma race.]]
** The third arc is about [[spoiler: Alain adjusting to life in the human world after being framed by his older brother, the protagonists' attempts to stop Adel's Demia Project, and the mysteries surrounding the powers that forms the backbone of the Ganma world's existence.]]

** #22 has [[spoiler: Adel murdering Adonis and taking over the position of Emperor while framing Alain for the murder causing Alain to become a fugitive. Takeru also found out about the true nature of the Ganma: All of them are actually beings with corporeal body who transfers their soul to eyecons.

** In Episode 21, at the end of the episode, [[spoiler: a high ranking Ganma, Magister Edith appears to address the entire Ganma family. What makes this a wham shot is the fact that Magister Edith looks ''exactly like Sennin.'']]
* WhoYouGonnaCall: The protagonists officially form one of these groups in order to better track Ganma activity.

** Specter's are his own Specter Eyecon and numbers 11-13: UsefulNotes/{{Tutankhamun}}, [[UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga Nobunaga]], and [[Creator/HarryHoudini Houdini]]. He also gets Deep Specter later in the series and Shin Specter in a post-series DVD.

*** A series of Legend Rider Eyecons based on the Phase Two Heisei Riders from Kuuga to Ghost's successor Ex-Aid (including one for Ghost himself). The ones from Double to Drive were included in the show's canon by appearing in a series of online videos and ''Kamen Rider Ichigo'', while Ex-Aid's appeared when the Rider himself showed up in the series epilogue episode and ''Kamen Rider Generations''. There's also a Kamen Rider 45 Eyecon in the online series that has both a combined Heisei Damashii and an Ichigo Damashii; and a toy-only combined Showa Rider Eyecon.
*** Many additional historical figures got Eyecons as well: Ikkyu, Pythagoras, [[UsefulNotes/CharlesDarwin Darwin]], UsefulNotes/{{Napoleon|Bonaparte}}, the Tenkatoitsu,[[note]]"World Unifiers": Nobunaga, [[UsefulNotes/ToyotomiHideyoshi Hideyoshi]], and [[UsefulNotes/TokugawaIeyasu Ieyasu]][[/note]] and UsefulNotes/{{the Shinsengumi}} all get used in tie-ins. Others exclusive to toys and ''Ganbarizing'' include SantaClaus, Kamehameha, Galileo, Nightingale, [[UsefulNotes/ChristopherColumbus Columbus]], [[Creator/WilliamShakespeare Shakespeare]], [[Creator/ShotaroIshinomori Ishinomori]], and [[Creator/LeonardoDaVinci da Vinci]]; plus alternate personal Eyecons of Special Ore and a combined Ore/Specter. Most of the historical figure Eyecons do appear in the summer movie, but their Damashii don't.

** In addition to his personal Ore Eyecon, Ghost gets numbers 1-10: [[UsefulNotes/MiyamotoMusashi Musashi]], [[UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison Edison]], Myth/RobinHood, [[UsefulNotes/IsaacNewton Newton]], [[UsefulNotes/BillyTheKid Billy the Kid]], [[Music/LudwigVanBeethoven Beethoven]], [[UsefulNotes/MusashiboBenkei Benkei]], [[UsefulNotes/IshikawaGoemon Goemon]], Ryoma, and Himiko. He later receives the Toucon Boost and Mugen Eyecons as upgrades.

* MythologyGag:
** Ghost joins the steadily-growing list of Riders who are not red but gain a red form change to rectify that, like Agito, W, Fourze and Gaim.
** Takeru's summoning of the Ghost Driver is similar to how [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga Kuuga]] summons the Arcle. And Robin Damashi, the green form armed with a bowgun, is pretty much Kuuga Pegasus Form.
** The driver sounds follow the standardised-jingle-into-unique-TransformationSequence-or-FinishingMove system started by ''Series/KamenRiderWizard''.
** Ghost's green form lets him duplicate himself? [[Series/KamenRiderOOO That sounds familiar...]]
** Turns out the MysteriousBacker of the Ganma was secretly working with Tenkuji Ryu on something big, which may or may not have killed him, just like a certain [[Series/KamenRiderFourze Utahoshi Rokuro.]]
** Once Takeru gets to space, he feels the need to hold his arms up and shout [[Series/KamenRiderFourze Uchuu Ni KITAA!]]
** Toucon Boost Damashi is very similar to [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga Kuuga's Rising Forms]], simply being an upgraded version of his base form. [[spoiler:And can allow upgraded versions of his other base forms to be used as well.]]
** Heroic Eyecons suddenly have the ability to possess people as well, [[Series/KamenRiderDenO resulting in a new eye color]] (though they all turn blue regardless of Eyecon color, going by Himiko).
** In ep. 35, Igor uses the Grimm Eyecon to mutate the Dreamworld into ''[[Series/KamenRiderGaim Helheim.]]''

** The second arc are about [[spoiler: Takeru attempting to connect his heart with the 15 Eyecons as his father's spirit suggested, the relatonship between Makoto and the Ganma royal family and the revelation of the true nature of the Ganma race.]]
** The third arc are about [[spoiler: Alain adjusting to life in the human world after being framed by his older brother, the protagonists' attempts to stop Adel's Demia Project, and the mysteries surrounding the powers that forms the backbone of the Ganma world's existence.]]

* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Averted; the Sage gives Takeru the title of "Kamen Rider" along with the Ghost Driver. It hasn't yet been revealed if there's any deeper significance to the name.

* ArtisticLicenseHistory: In #17 and 18, the Newton Eyecon "runs away" because [[HollywoodAtheist it saw its belief in science as incompatible with the mysticism of the newly-joined Himiko Eyecon]]. In reality, Sir Issac Newton was a man of faith who believed in the existence of a benevolent God, even if he did privately profess ideas that would have been considered heretical in his day (see ThatOtherWiki's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_of_Isaac_Newton page]] for details).

He later receives the Toucon Boost and Mugen Eyecons as upgrades.

* XMeetsY: It's ''Franchise/KamenRider'' meets ''ComicBook/GhostRider'' and ''[[VideoGame/GenpeiToumaDen Samurai Ghost]]'', [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin to boot]]!
** Also ''Franchise/KamenRider'' mixed with ''Manga/ShamanKing'' and ''Manga/{{Nobunagun}}''.
** ''Anime/YuYuHakusho'' meets ''Anime/ReadOrDie'' might be an apt comparison as well.
** It's also ''Franchise/KamenRider'' meets ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'' with a twist of ''Anime/CrossAnge'' and ''Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure''.

** Heroic Eyecons suddenly have the ability to possess people as well, [[KamenRiderDenO resulting in a new eye color]] (though they all turn blue regardless of Eyecon color, going by Himiko).
