Center
Primary
The film leans right by advocating for personal change and assimilation into society over radical rejection, emphasizing individual responsibility in confronting extremist ideologies.
The film utilizes traditional casting for its Japanese context, without explicit DEI-driven casting in a U.S. sense. Its narrative subtly critiques oppressive systems and traditional masculine roles, aligning with some DEI principles without making them explicitly central to a U.S. social justice framework.
Secondary
The film features Hiromi, a cyborg, who engages in and wins multiple close-quarters physical fights against male SHOCKER agents, demonstrating superior strength and combat skills. Her victories are achieved through direct physical engagement.
Shin Kamen Rider (2023) does not portray or thematically address the LGBTQ community. The film's narrative and character focus lie elsewhere, on introspective heroism, cyborg transformation, and societal critique within a dark, psychological tokusatsu framework.
Shin Kamen Rider (2023) does not explicitly depict transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on bodily transformation and identity crisis through the protagonist's cyborg condition, but these elements are not framed in terms of transsexual identity or community representation.
The film's principal and supporting characters, including Takeshi Hongo and Ruriko Midorikawa, maintain the same gender as their original counterparts from the *Kamen Rider* franchise. There is no evidence of any established character undergoing a gender swap.
The film casts Japanese actors in all major roles, aligning with the characters' traditional depiction as Japanese in the source material and the film's Japanese setting. No characters established as one race are portrayed as a different race.
