I really just want to grind for entries related to crossover anime/manga.

"Welcome, everyone, to the world of Kamen Rider Goku! From today onward, we will create a new legend together. Without further ado, let's get straight to the point!"

The staff acted quickly, distributing a thick stack of bound scripts to every major cast and crew member present.

Yu Genkawa took his copy, which had a prominent "Kamen Rider Kyo" logo and the words "Script for Episodes 1-10" on the cover.

The freshly printed paper still carried the warmth and scent of ink. He opened the title page, where he saw a detailed world-building setting and character introductions, followed by the scripts for episodes one through ten.

His gaze first fell on the title of the first episode: "Opening! The Grand Prix of Desire".

To prevent the mysterious creatures known as "Devils" from threatening the world, a popular survival game called "Desire Grand Prix" (DGP) was created.

Participants can obtain a "Desire Driver" and transform into a Kamen Rider by filling out a competition card and indicating their "desire".

They need to defeat evil spirits and save citizens to earn points and survive to the end in the brutal competition.

The ultimate victor will gain the supreme power to "reshape the world according to their own ideals".

The first episode unfolds from the perspective of Sakurai Keikazu, an ordinary college student who has repeatedly failed in his job search, and is unexpectedly attacked by ugly and vicious demons on the street.

Just as his life hung by a thread, a mysterious card floated down in front of him—it was an invitation to participate in the Desire Grand Prix.

With no other choice, Jinghe filled in the simple wish of "world peace" and obtained the "Desire Driver". He awkwardly transformed into Kamen Rider Tycoon and began his first battle, but his lack of experience led to many dangerous situations.

At the same time, a mysterious, elegant, and unfathomably powerful young man—[Floating World Eiju]—makes his appearance with an air of nonchalance, as if he were already familiar with all the rules.

He transforms into Kamen Rider Geats, and with fluid, almost dazzling fighting style, he easily defeats a large number of demons. His overwhelming strength and calm demeanor instantly make him the focus of the entire scene.

The game objective in this DGP match is to "protect the safe evacuation of citizens in a designated area within a specified time."

Among the contestants, besides Sakurai Kagekazu and Hidetoshi, there is also Gotokuji Takeshi, a former firefighter who transforms into Kamen Rider Shirowe with a strong sense of justice, and Sumida Kanato, who is ambitious and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals and transforms into Kamen Rider Da Paan Brown Bear.

During the battle, Gotokuji Takeshi, driven by an excessive sense of justice, was surrounded by demons while trying to protect a lone citizen. Despite his valiant fight, he was ultimately outnumbered and mercilessly "killed" by the demons, becoming the first knight to leave the arena in this match.

This scene had a huge impact on Sakurai Kagekazu, who was experiencing a brutal game for the first time.

Jing and himself repeatedly found themselves in fatal crises due to their unfamiliarity and hesitation throughout the mission. Each time, it was the red fox knight, Extreme Fox, who appeared by his side as if strolling in a garden, pulling him out of danger with just the right amount of help, while always maintaining an elusive sense of detachment.

Ultimately, thanks to their superior combat skills and precise control over the mission objectives, Kamen Rider Geats won the DGP match with an absolute advantage.

Guided by the beautiful and mysterious race navigator, Izuri, Hidetoshi Ukiyo calmly made his wish for victory before the "Goddess of Creation," who could grant any wish.

He wanted to "create a world where I could become a world-class star."

The moment the wish takes effect, the world is reshaped by an invisible force.

When Jinghe regained consciousness, he found himself still standing on the familiar street, but the billboards, television screens, and the focus of pedestrians' discussions had all changed to the superstar named "Floating World Eiju".

The world seems to have changed, yet it also seems to have remained the same.

Meanwhile, Sakurai Kagekazu still held the entry card for the Desire Grand Prix in his hand, filled with confusion and bewilderment about the DGP system.

Sakurai Kagekazu officially stepped into this survival game where desire is the stake and the world is the stage.

"Hmm...it's quite interesting."

Genkawa Yu turned to the last page of the script for the first episode, his fingertips gently stroking the edge of the paper.

He saw the script after the audition, but it wasn't as detailed as the official version he saw today.

The character 【Ukiyo Hidetoshi】 has many characteristics. He is mysterious and powerful, and seems to know a lot about DGP's inner workings, yet he also has a cynical attitude towards the game.

His desire to become a "world-class star" may seem vain, but there may be a deeper motivation behind it.

This character is very complex and offers a lot of room for performance. It requires both an overwhelming and powerful aura and elegant composure, as well as the planting of unfathomable and mysterious foreshadowing, making it a very challenging role.

Director Nakazawa continued to explain the overall plot of the first ten episodes on stage, and also talked about some important settings and foreshadowing.

After speaking for more than an hour, the director began to explain the initial shooting plan.

Due to the unique production model of tokusatsu dramas, which involves filming and broadcasting simultaneously, they need to film and prepare enough material for about two months' worth of broadcast (approximately 8-10 episodes) before the official broadcast.

Therefore, the work ahead will be extremely demanding.

This "Extreme Fox" is somewhat different from other Kamen Rider works because there are a lot of Kamen Riders appearing, although not all of them are the main characters, but there are still a lot of battle scenes.

The director emphasized the importance of physical training and announced the detailed schedule for the following week.

More than an hour later, the long meeting finally came to an end at noon.

The staff announced a recess for the afternoon, allowing the actors to move around freely or do their preparations, but the core cast members were required to stay behind.

After the meeting ended, the crowd began to disperse, and hushed conversations resumed.

Just as Genkawa Yu stood up, he heard Director Nakazawa's voice coming through the crowd.

(ii) Long-term flag | uO medical (iii) Dismissal “Genkawa-kun, Asakura-san, Sato-kun, Masashiro-kun, please stay for a moment.”

Upon hearing this, the four immediately stopped what they were doing and turned to face the director.

Director Nakazawa walked over with a kind but undeniable smile. "Nothing planned for this afternoon? I'll take you somewhere to check it out, and we can also finalize some details about tonight's costume fitting photos."

"Yes, director."

The four responded in unison, their hearts filled with curiosity.

They followed Director Nakazawa through the intricate corridors inside the Toei Building, took a private elevator, and arrived at a floor with a completely different atmosphere from the other office areas.

The elevator doors opened, revealing an extremely spacious area that resembled a small warehouse or showroom rather than an office area.

The ceiling lights were bright and even, and a peculiar scent filled the air.

When their eyes adjusted to the light and they could see the scene in the space clearly, they all involuntarily held their breath.

In the space before me, rows of brightly colored "bodies" were neatly arranged.

They were carefully dressed on humanoid frames, some standing majestically, others in fighting poses, shimmering with a unique luster under special lighting.

It's a Kamen Rider suit.

From the simple yet powerful first-generation knights of the Showa era to the magnificent transformation of the Heisei era.

Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-O, and many more—the iconic suits of Kamen Rider from different eras stand here quietly, like warriors from Valhalla who have transcended time, silently telling the story of decades of dreams and heritage.

This is one of Toei Tokusatsu's "sanctuaries," a secret warehouse specifically used to collect and display the battle suits of knights from different eras.

"Wow--!"

Sato Masayuki couldn't help but gasp softly, like a child who had just walked into a candy store, his eyes wide open.

Although Kazuto Masaki was usually calm and collected, he couldn't hide his excitement at this moment. His gaze swept intently over the legendary armors he had only seen on television and in magazines, and he seemed to be lost in thought.

Even Asakura Toru's blue eyes lit up with obvious curiosity. She tilted her head slightly, her gaze sweeping over the suits that were full of mechanical beauty or biological texture.

Genkawa Yu's gaze swept over the hero costumes, and he became excited.

At the most prominent position at the entrance to this "Hall of Heroes," a brand-new "figure" is quietly waiting for them.

The main color scheme is a blend of silver and red, with a streamlined and futuristic armor design, a fox-shaped helmet, a unique "Desire Driver" slot on the waist, and an overall shape that seems to exude cunning and arrogance.

It is the exclusive suit for Kamen Rider Geats.

It was worn on a humanoid frame similar in size to Yu Minakawa, posing in a ready position with its right hand slightly raised.

Under the illumination of specially designed spotlights, the special coating on the leather case reflects a delicate and layered luster, which is both gorgeous and powerful.

Genkawa Yu unconsciously walked to the fox fur suit, stopped, and looked up to carefully examine the battle body that would soon "merge" with him for the next six months.

"That's really good."

Yu Genkawa couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. Although in general, the filming of "Kamen Rider" involves suit actors wearing the costumes to fight, as the main actor, he still felt very excited.

Director Nakazawa walked up to him at some point, followed his gaze to the Fox suit, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"Genkawa-kun, it seems you're quite interested in knight suits."

Genkawa Yu snapped out of his reverie and nodded without hesitation, "Yes, Director..."

Director Nakazawa laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

“Genkawa-kun, the knight’s suit may look cool, but wearing it is a completely different story.”

His tone became serious, "In order to achieve the best on-screen effect and fit the setting, the internal structure of the suit is usually quite complex, the material is not breathable, and the weight is not light. The filming of each generation of Kamen Rider is inseparable from those respectable suit actors."

"They have to wear these costumes to complete most of the high-difficulty action scenes, which is very hard work. Our tentative lead rider suit actor for 'Extreme Fox' is Yuji Nakata. He is experienced, has excellent physical fitness, and can express the calm yet powerful feeling of 'Hidetoshi Ukiyo' very well through body language."

Genkawa Yu listened attentively, but his gaze never left the fox fur suit.

He understood what Director Nakazawa meant; suit actors are the unsung heroes of tokusatsu films, and their contributions are crucial.

But... I already have a system, wouldn't it be a waste not to try it on?

"director..."

Genkawa Yu turned his head, his eyes bright and firm, with a hint of probing.

"This is a rare opportunity. Could I try it on? I've been consistently working out and doing physical training, so I shouldn't be completely unable to handle it, right?"

Director Nakazawa paused for a moment, looking at the unmistakable longing and seriousness in Genkawa Yu's eyes, then at Sato Masashi and Masahiro Kazuto who were also showing curious expressions, and Asakura Toru who was standing quietly to the side. He stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

Logically speaking, it is not necessary for the lead actor to try on the suit, and it may even increase unnecessary risks, such as damaging the suit or injuring the actor.

On the other hand, allowing the lead actor to get to know the suit in advance might deepen their understanding of the character, especially when the actor needs to communicate with the suit actor, allowing for better sharing of their feelings.

Finally, Director Nakazawa laughed, a laugh that carried a hint of indulgence and expectation.

"Alright, since Genkawa-kun is so interested, we'll make an exception this time. But it's agreed that you'll only try it on and feel it out. No big movements are allowed, and you'll need professional assistance."

"Thank you, director!"

Genkawa Yu's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed.

Director Nakazawa beckoned over the professional staff member in charge of managing the suit warehouse and whispered a few words of instruction to him.

The staff nodded and carefully removed the Flyfox suit from the humanoid frame.

The suit was divided into several main parts: helmet, chest and shoulder armor components, arm components, leg components, and belt. Several staff members stepped forward to assist Genkawa Yu in putting it on.

Just then, a graceful figure naturally bypassed the staff member who was about to step forward and walked to Genkawa Yu's side.

It's Toru Asakura.

She raised her blue eyes and looked at Director Nakazawa and Yu Genkawa, speaking in her characteristically calm tone.

"Genkawa-kun, let me help too."
