Story Kamen Rider 555 (Faiz)
Orphnoch, the next step in human evolution, is being secretly used to wipe off the human population as part of the Smart Brain corporation’s attempt to rule the globe. To achieve this, they create three sets of power armor, dubbed Rider Gear (Delta, Faiz, and Kaixa), to seek out and defend the Orphnoch King, who is capable of correcting a genetic flaw that causes Orphnochs to die.
Hanagata, the Goat Orphnoch and previous head of Smart Brain, steals the Rider Gears. In order to prevent the Orphnoch from reaching their objective, he sends them to his foster kids, who he refers to as the Ryuseiji after the school they attended. However, as Orphnoch was the intended wearer of Rider Gears, humans cannot engage the mechanisms without undergoing genetic change.
Takumi Inui, a teenage recluse who accidentally becomes involved in the struggle between humans and the Orphnoch, finally transforms into Kamen Rider Faiz in order to save Mari Sonoda, one of the Ryuseiji. In an effort to reclaim the Faiz Gear, Smart Brain starts pursuing him.
But there are differences among the Orphnoch. Some want to live in harmony with humans rather than exterminate them; in response, Smart Brain starts to target them as well. The majority of these “renegade” Orphnochs either die, hide out, or start supporting the Ryuseiji in their battle with the Smart Brain.
The Tokyo police launch operations to exterminate the monsters after learning the Orphnoch are responsible for a string of odd murders, mainly ignorant of the numerous factions engaged. Even worse, they start doing experiments on the captured Orphnoch in an unsuccessful attempt to find a means to destroy them.
Teruo Suzuki, a young child who was saved and made a friend by Naoya Kaido and Keitaro Kikuchi, finally experiences the awakening of the Orphnoch King. It is now up to the owners of the Rider Gears to unite and fight for the survival of humanity.
