OK after reading some fan reports, I'm did what I could to compile and summarize them all. So here it is...
THE KAMEN RIDER BLADE 20TH ANNIVERSARY LIVE SHOW (stage play): a summary
Screencaps of my summary in the cut below for Spoilers
- King got released somehow and starts causing havoc as well as stole some cards from BOARD (Tiger included)
- Steals Hajime's Mantis card and unseals him
- Hajime reunites with Tachibana and the narrator reveals that they have gotten along much better within 20 years (Hajime even apologized to Tachibana for the trouble)
- Hajime (in Joker form) and Tachibana fight King and Mantis. Mantis attacks Tachibana but was shielded by Hajime, and ends up getting sealed
- Also we get to hear Mantis talk for the first time and he's like disappointed that Hajime is holding back on being Joker during their newest flight but King just goes" lol anyway (interrupts their fight)"
- Mutsuki as Leangle then comes to help
- Turns out Mutsuki was in Tibet and works under Tachibana as a researcher
- Tachibana mentions his research is going well, then retreats as Mutsuki goes to take care of King
- Mutsuki then has to fight Tiger under King's control
- scene changes to Mantis Undead
- Kenzaki finally appears, immediately recognizes Hajime isn't present thru his Joker senses, and demands Mantis to tell him what happened to his friend
- THEY FIGHT and Kenzaki transforms to Blade
- (OP points out that even as a Joker Undead, Kenzaki still fights with precision as he does back then when he was human)
- Mantis then explains that there's someone else whos the one who unsealed King and is the mastermind of what's happening
- Mantis is defeated and Kenzaki seals him
- scene changes, returns to Mutsuki vs Tiger
- Tiger suddenly stops and reaches out to Mutsuki, trying to resist the brainwashing
- Mutsuki hears Shima's voice and takes Tiger back to him (regaining her sense before willingly being sealed again)
- He then faces King and finally transforms to his own King Form
- (OP notes that everyone was screaming and sobbing when this happened, same with Kenzaki's first appearance in the stage show where it's described that he has a Terrifying and Intimidating presence the moment he walks in from the Audience aisle and to the stage.... omg...)
- ANYWAY MUTSUKI OVERPOWERS KING and manages to retrieve Hajime's card
- Unfortunately Mutsuki can't take his King Form's power for too long and was quickly reverted to base Leangle
- Before King would attack Mutsuki, time immediately freezes
- Kenzaki arrives using the Scarab card!!!! And tells Mutsuki he's doing great so far 🥹🥹🥹🥹
- King moves again, and Kenzaki tells Mutsuki to unseal Hajime
- REUNION HAPPENING
- Hajime thanks Mutsuki (Which OP notes is rare to hear especially hearing him call Mutsuki by his first name instead of his Rider name)
- Mutsuki was told to retreat while Hajime and Kenzaki face King
- Hajime: I will not waste the feelings of my friends!
- YEAH HAJIME CONSIDERS MUTSUKI AND TACHIBANA AS HIS FRIENDS TOO 🥹🥹🥹
- THEY FIGHT KING
- OP: King then starts to sound like a conspiracy theorist (regarding the mastermind of their unsealing) before being defeated and sealed
- Kenzaki wonders what King meant and if it's related to them being Joker again (referencing THE ZI-O EPS)
- Before Kenzaki could leave Hajime, he was ambushed....
- SURPRISE it's *ANOTHER BLADE*
- Kenzaki worriedly thought it was Amane at first but Hajime quickly sensed Another Blade's presence is neither human or Undead
- Another Blade attacks and it was enough to cancel both Kenzaki's and Hajime's transformation reverting them back to their human form
- Another Blade says they will be the new embodiment of chaos and destruction, to which Hajime states he won't let them destroy the world
- Mutsuki and Tachibana finally reappears, and reuniting all 4 riders
- they're all happy to see each other... even Hajime is smiling 🥹
- All 4 transform and face Another Blade together
- BLADE BRAVE plays and the 4 riders reenact the poses in the opening theme yoooo
- there's a bit where Hajime would say the "I'LL BEAT YOU UP" line again from the original show and that got the audience to laugh fhfjdkk (how could you not tho 😂)
- gonna keep the climax brief but yeah it's the Big FIGHT scene
- Tachibana and Mutsuki manage to seal the remaining Undead
- then EVERYONE shifts to their King Form (and Wild Chalice) to stop Another Blade
- There's a lot of cool stage effects going on too
- Kenzaki makes the finishing blow after receiving three other cards from his friends
- I forgot to mention but only Kenzaki and Hajime remember everything that happened in Zi-O before the reset. Tachibana and Mutsuki are absolutely clueless and are lost when Hajime mentioned about it. And it's only now they learned about Another Blade's existence.
- Mutsuki brings up his worries about new enemies beyond what they know but Kenzaki reassures him it'll be alright and that they can handle it together
- Tachibana then tells Kenzaki that he's still finding a way to turn him back into a human which Kenzaki appreciates and thanks him (still showing his respect to him as his senior at work) 🥹🥹🥹
- Hajime then says he'll wait forever among the humans (OP notes his voice is gentler just like in the finale ep) to which Kenzaki replies that someday the battle will end for sure...
- ELEMENTS plays as the 4 raise their fists together just like in the 2nd OP 🥺
- Kenzaki leaves first disappearing behind the smoke
- Tachibana and Mutsuki leaves
- Hajime was the last to leave but also the slowest, as he lowers his head before making his exit from the stage
- While Hajime leaves, Kenzaki's silhouette in the smoke remains and he's facing Hajime's direction before completely disappearing (OP mentions the lighting used for the smoke is colored gold...... LIKE THE COLOR OF THE GINGKO LEAVES AT THE PARK DURING THE BENCH SCENE FHDJNFKLK)
- once everything is dark, two colored silhouettes appeared: red and blue
- the blue one confirms that the Battle Fight will resume as two Undeads are still active
- the red one then says that they'll continue to observe as they hope to restore harmony to the world
- though made vague in the stageshow, OP points out that these two are actually the final bosses from the Blade novel
- THE END
