I will be the eye of the third typhoon! --Kariri Aoki, who plays the role of Kento, vows to make a comeback!

Kento was a childhood friend of Makoto Tobiwa, who threw himself into battle as Masked Rider Espada, wielding the holy sword "Raimeiken Ikazuchi" (Thunderbolt Sword), but in Chapter 13 (broadcast on December 6, 2020), he was defeated in a battle with Masked Rider Calibur and was swallowed by the power of darkness. He was swallowed by the power of darkness and disappeared.

However, he was finally revived in Chapter 25! Moreover, he appeared in front of Makoto Tobiwa and his friends as a new Masked Rider Calibur. Why has the wise man come back to life now? And why did he transform into Calibur? Everything is still shrouded in great mystery.

Aoki, who plays the role of the sage, expressed his joy by saying, "I was finally able to resurrect the sage," adding, "At first, I had no intention of changing my mindset as the sage, but after discussions with the director and staff, I was presented with a new way of thinking from a different angle, and I frankly felt that I could dig deeper into the "sage". I frankly felt that I would be able to explore a new angle on "The Wise Man" more deeply! I would like to be the third eye of the typhoon for those who are at odds with each other and make the story more exciting," he said with enthusiasm.

The identity of "Master Logos," the head of the organization, is "that soldier" that Makoto Tobiwa also encountered!

In the next episode, Chapter 26, which will air on Sunday, March 14, the identity of "Master Logos," the leader of the "Sword of Logos," will finally be revealed. The face of Master Logos, covered by a large hood, has not been revealed until now, and his existence has been the subject of various discussions on social networking sites.

His true identity is a mysterious soldier belonging to Southern Base who appeared in Chapter 23 (broadcast on February 21, 2021)! He was the one who led Makoto Tobiwa, who had boarded the Southern Base, to the forbidden library. However, although the identity of Master Logos was known, why on earth did he lead Makoto Tobiwa to the forbidden library and bring him together with his enemy, Storius? Where Master Logos's intentions lie remains in a deep fog.

Moreover, Master Logos will be a great threat to Tobiwa Makoto and the riders in the future. Where will the "justice" of the leader of the Sword of Logos, the organization that has maintained the balance of the world, go?
And how will Makoto Tobiwa and the others face him with his mighty power?

Comment from KIRI AOKI (as Kento FUKAMIYA)

Once again, my name is Rikyu Aoki, playing the role of Kento FUKAMIYA! I am finally able to come back.
At first, I had no intention to change my mindset as Kento, but after reading the script and discussing it with the director and staff, I was presented with a new way of thinking from a different angle, and I frankly felt that I could dig deeper into the role of "Kento. I would like to fulfill the role of the sage in this situation and become the third eye of the typhoon for those who are at odds with each other to further enhance the story.
What is it that the wise man has in mind, and why does he appear now and confront everyone? I hope you will enjoy the various considerations!

Keisuke Soma (Master Logos) comment

I have a strong sense of gratitude to "Samurai Sentai Shinkenger," a special effects work in which I appeared about 12 years ago, for having allowed me to continue my work as an actor until today.
Then I was offered the chance to appear in "Masked Rider Saber". The Sunday morning special effects series can be said to be my starting point.
My life as an actor has been full of twists and turns, but I will go back to the basics once again and devote myself to adding color to these works with gratitude and challenge in my heart.
To be honest, there are still too many aspects of Master Logos that I don't understand, so I can't say that this is the highlight of the show. I know this is an abstract answer, but I hope to link the enigmatic "I don't know" to the actors and their roles to develop the characters.
