Story Summary

Since ancient times in Japan, there have been individuals who, to protect humanity, undergo rigorous training deep in the mountains to transform into "Oni," battling "Makamo" with purifying sounds. This was done to combat the Makamo. Gradually, the Oni were categorized by their abilities and formed inheritable schools, further establishing an organization called "Takeshi" with the humans they had saved.

Asumu Adachi, a young boy preparing for his high school entrance exams, spotted a strange man on a ferry bound for Yakushima. Suddenly, a child fell overboard from the deck. In an instant, Asumu witnessed something unbelievable: the man rescued the child with superhuman strength. The man told Asumu, "You've truly trained hard!" before departing.

Upon arriving at Yakushima, Asumu was attacked by a giant Tsuchigumo in the forest. At that moment, the strange man reappeared and transformed into a purple figure. This was the moment "Hibiki" and Asumu first met...


ARMED HIBIKI (アームドヒビキ) Armored Hibiki

This form is achieved using the Ongeki Amplification Sword - Armored Seiba. It first appeared in Chapter 33.

Height: 7 feet 7 inches (approx. 233cm)
Weight: 44.8 kan (approx. 168kg)
Punching Power: 10,666 kan (approx. 40t)
Kicking Power: 21,332 kan (approx. 80t)
Jumping Power: 55 ken (approx. 100m)
Movement Speed: 100m / 1 second.


"Armored Hibiki" is predominantly red, black, and gold. Standing at approximately 145mm, this form is achieved using the Ongeki Amplification Sword - Armored Seiba. This articulated figure, crafted using the Shinkocchou Seihou technique, sculpts from the skeletal structure outwards, gradually building muscles and then the costume, creating this final form of Hibiki.

It features the iconic streamlined armor design, finished with a pearlescent paint application that gives its gold, red, and black color scheme a brilliant sheen. Included is "Armored Hibiki's" transformation device and exclusive weapon, the "Ongeki Amplification Sword - Armored Seiba." By swapping parts, it can transition from its usual "Sword Mode" to "Sound Mode," revealing the front amplifier and rear microphone. This allows for the recreation of cool action poses, including special moves like Ongeki-jin Kishin Kakusei! It also comes with three states of "CD Beasts" — "Steel Hawk," "Kabuto Oozaru," and "Armored Crab" — which are strengthened by the waves of the "Armored Seiba." Furthermore, it includes additional left and right interchangeable wrist parts, allowing the "Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Hibiki" or "Shinkocchou Seihou Kamen Rider Hibiki 10th Anniversary Ver" figures to hold the "Armored Seiba." This enables the recreation of the transformation scene into "Armored Hibiki."

The articulation of Shinkocchou Seihou is quite good. The joints have appropriate tension, and standing on one leg is not an issue. The QC, coloring, and paint application are excellent (a rare feat). Of course, its biggest selling point is its perfect appearance. The Shinkocchou Seihou truly is impeccable in its aesthetics! It is definitely a great product. I absolutely love it!

Finally, no matter how deep your love for him is, I absolutely do not recommend getting it if it's over HKD 1,000!

Truly, finally! I took the first five photos at great personal risk. When I went to the back hill area to shoot, countless mosquitoes were already swarming around me... It took half an hour to take five photos, I killed 12 mosquitoes, and was bitten five times... In the end, I just rushed home to set up a proper shooting environment! Another sacrifice for art...
