Kingohger Movie spoiler log

every shot and line i remember in order. reminder lines might not be 100% accurate

started with Gira staring at Rainoir's statue in the Shugoddom throne room. He looks uncertain.

Jeramie is sitting on a spider-string attached across the giant gears to the throne's right

Jeramie jumps down and asks Gira what he wants to do as King

Rita and Douga enter to tell Gira it's time for the coronation

Coronation

Ep1 Kings march scene (Kagu, Himeno, Yanma)

the three chitchat. Himeno complains about making her go outside and Kagu says it's Gira's idea to show the people their kings.

As Kaguragi sits down, a kuroko helps straigten his sleeve.

Gira arrives in Kuwagon

Ceremony starts. Gira's march is interrupted by Debonica and her song

Debonica introduces herself all solemnly as the navigator of the underworld but Gira is just happy to reunite with a childhood friend. The public looks confused.

Debonica used to live in the orphanage/grew up with Gira. She is older than Gira but always lazy and didn't help out.

"I'm here to bring Gira Husty to meet his ancestor and the 5 kings to the Underworld"

reaction shot of Yanma, Hime, Kaguragi looking interested (as if they knew??? ← my interpretation)

Debonica sings and a space whale flies them to Haaka Baaka. The whale is like a zeppelin and what hangs under is a circular disc the kings stood on (like one side of a scale). Rita keeps looking at the direction they came (their back to camera)

Gira recalls the orphans throwing a birthday party for Debonica but she never showed up. Flashback shot shows Gira waking up from a nap and in front of him on the table is the simple homemade birthday cake with a bite taken. Himeno asks if they are "just" childhood friends

Debonica seems upset and sings again, a rectangular dimension gate appears in the sky [Kagu's trailer line about Underworld's gate only opens when a new King of Shugddom is crowned]

Arriving in the Underworld

Haaka Baaka is this floating space with no up/down (a mix of zero gravity/underwater) and ghosts turn into jellyfish-like creatures and fly around. There're ruins of the five castles in the bkg.

Gira, Yanma, Rita land [trailer spinning shot]. Rita asks where did Himeno and Kaguragi go.

Ashes version of Bugnarok foot soldiers appear and attack the trio. They seem to be in a bit of trouble with each of them being grabbed by three foot soldiers or more.

[Aoto said they shot more of wings out-of-suit action here but ended up being cut. When he's in trouble from the enemy dragging his arm so hard it hurts, he turned around and saw Rita doing clean slashes and posing cooly so he felt left out 😅]

Rainoir appears and with a flick of his arm disintegrated the enemy. Each step he goes, a new block materialises from ashes under his foot.

Yanma says the Husty name with weight while Gira recognizes Rainoir as one of the heroes that saved Chikyuu 2000years ago

Debonica calls Rainoir "my king" and Rainoir invites Gira to tell him about the truth of Chikyuu's history as the new generation of Shugddom King

Yanma says "interesting" but the gate closed before he and Rita can enter

Rita: 帰るか Yanma: はやい?!

Rita: Are we leaving. Yanma: Too soon!

Gira meets Rainoir

Debonica was sent to monitor Gira but Gira still thinks of her as an older sister and makes fun of it. [Trailer line give up throne] → cut to wings scene 1

Debonica pinched Gira's cheeks and urged him to just go along like a good kid. Gira hesitates and thought Debonica was just being playful. Debonica said the moment he hesitates, he has lost the right ro be king. But it's alright because Rainoir will take over.

Rainoir explained he understood Gira is a kind person, then showed Gira a vision of people dying to persuade him into handing over the throne

Gira is still not sure because he barely had time to consider. Debonica said it's enough, sang again and a sand glass thing flipped around and they landed on the platform shown in trailer's final fight

Rainoir raised his sword on Debonica and Gira ran to block it out of reflex to his own bewilderment.

Rainoir explained since he's only a spirit so he needs Debonica's "existence" to revive in the physical realm. Gira challenged if that means Debonica will die but she disagreed angrily and insisted that it's fine because it is her destiny

Gira hesitates but took Debonica's hand and runs away

Rainoir commented there's no where to go. The Realm of Death is (a living forest?) → cut to Himeno in a forest

Wings scene

<- Debonica asks Gira to give up the throne

--part 1--

Bkg: underwater N'kosopa

Rita runs with both arms raised straight in the air. [trailer line: want to leave but no exit]

Yanma in foreground studying electronics. [Trailer line about creating a breaking point/picking a lock]

Yanma asks Rita to hand him a cable. Rita asks which one. Close up shot of Rita turning their head side to side in search

Cut to wide shot as each way Rita turns, they find themself in a new colour of a broken Saiban Court. x3 times

many many black skeletons fly towards rita, trailer shot of rita scream → cut to Gira's everyone dead vision

--part 2--

<- follows Kaguragi part 1

(Yanma and Rita are both physically in the underwater N'kosopa space but only Rita can see/hear/enter the vision of Dead Gokkan)

Rita misao pose + cover ears + heavy breathing. Yanma pulls them out of the vision by their back collar.

Rita falls back and lies on the ground facing up

Yanma: You saw something?

Rita: People I put on trial. The dead of Gokkan must hate me.

Yanma: Eh? The Chief Justice cold as ice is afraid of ghosts?

Rita: *catching their breath*

Yanma: Don't mind the things you can't see. Just take on what's in front of you now. How about that?

Rita: I, have a duty.

Yanma: Is that it? *smirk*

(cut to Rita turning towards a sky of flying screaming black skeletons) Rita: These are all, Moffun.

Yanma discovers the spider web Jeramie attached onto his waist before their departure (with a face of disgust)

-> Gira and Debonica scene

Himeno's farewell

Himeno walking in a normal forest and two jellyfish fly towards her. Her parents appear in royal attire and embrace her.

The three are framed inside an ishbana emblem petal.

Himeno: Papa, Mama, I've wanted to see you. 会えたかったよ

Papa: I am sorry (for making you wait that long). I can't let you go/ There is no way back. ごめんな　もう帰さない

environment shifts to dead forest → cut to Kaguragi

--part 2 with Sebastian--

← follow Kuroda scene

[trailer line: i came here to say goodbye.]

"Farewell without Sayonara is not beautiful." (note: sayonara means the never see each other again kind of goodbye)

Papa ghost asks Himeno to stay here forever

"My favourite things are still in Ishababna. The things I want are still plenty to come. I'll see you. bye bye." (またね is bye when you will see the person again.)

["mata ne. bye bye." is not scripted and improvised on set with director according to Erica. and the "too late" remark as well.]

Sebastian: you returned your parents' favour (恩 <- not sure how to translate it, the asian concept of that the parents' care for you is a blessing (and you should be grateful for it)) <- heard this wrong

edit post-release 6/12 : Sebastian simply said "I've come to [receive/greet] your return"

Sebastian brings her her sword and Himeno said it took him too long.

-> cut to ritamoru

Kaguragi

Toufu palace. Already burning unexplained. Iroki waits on the throne.

Iroki: Traitor. Good job stealing my country.

Kaguragi: Outono. It is you who took all the food, the life of Toufu, for yourself. It is you who betrayed the people.

Iroki: And you dirty your hands for this throne. What are you after?

Kaguragi: For the people! For my country!

*iroki evil laughs* (something about one day the same will happen to you) → cut to Wings part 2

--part 2 with Kuroda--

← follows Shiokara scene

The words are too fast for me but the meaning i get was Kaguragi reminiscing about what kind of (selfish) ruler Iroki was, but he is a man who is not afraid of dirtying his hands, that's how he earned the name of Toufu's Outono.

Kuroda does a backflip and kicks the image of Iroki into ember.

-> cut to Himeno & Sebastian

Gira and Debonica

Gira took Debonica somewhere safe and Debonica explained it was her destiny to become a vessel for Rainoir as she turns 20. That's why she never showed up at the birthday party.

Gira refused to accept and asked her to return with him

Debonica hit him and repeated that this is for the best of everyone, that this is what she wished.

The two started tickling each other. Gira said something about the cake that made her hesitate and Gira said thank you

Rainoir followed them here and asked if Debonica has made up her mind. She said yes.

→ cut to Aides scene

Aides - Shiokara

Yanma connects a cable with the spider web and succeeded in making a video call to the living world. He asks Shiokara, who had the lie detector on, to tell a big lie right now

Shiokara returns a "Now?" then do it immediately.

The lie so big that killed him is "Yanma-kun is the strongest at brawls" 喧嘩最強　ヤンマくん!

Shiokara shut the door on arrival. "DON'T!!! THAT WAS OUR WAY OUT OF HERE SUKAPON TANUKI!" "SORRY!"

the other three aides evasdrop classic three heads behind a wall style

Aides - Kuroda

Aides - Sebastian

Aides - Morfonia

Rita & Morfonia

<- follows Himeno & Sebastian

Rita heavy breathing. center close-up. hair blown by strong wind. hand cover ears. mask half down so you can see their nose and upper lip [movie still]

Morfonia: "Ritaaa~ listen closely." (ちゃんと聞いて)

Rita gasps. profile facing right took up half the screen. a small black ghost fly towards them and whispered. "Thank you, Chief Justice." ありがとう　裁判長　(you can glimpse at the blue eye through the messed up hair).

Rita relaxes stop gasping and froze.

Morfonia pulls them up by both of their wrists with a gyaaaa

Morfoina: Seems like among the dead, you are quite popular 😊

Rita nervously pulls their bangs down to cover the blue eye

-> Rainoir & Gira

Rainoir & Gira

Rainoir: Sacrificing one person can save the whole of humanity. Will you rob them of their bright future? a chance of having a family?

Gira: Is that what it was like in your time. Living in this world is hell. Future. Happiness. Those that have those set for them are only strong people like you. In this unsensible world, it's full of sadness and hurt and the unfortunate. The one that made our world like this, is the first king like you. If you think anyone can be easily sacrificed, than watch me destroy 2000 years of history. [trailer line]

Rainoir said bad guy things and "yabbari the king of chikyuu has to be me". the two fight and Debonica tries to make them stop.

Gira promises to bring Debonica back to the living world and make her another cake. She questions why for such a small thing. Gira says it's not small. In a world just like hell, it is the small happiness that gave us hope to live on. "To protect such small happiness, that is the king I will become."

Gira closes and opens his eyes again and jesus light falls onto him

Gira's hair falls down on his left (our right) and he looks SO EVILISH GOOD.

↑ basically that 'raise sword + mantle falls + rule the world speech' in tv but without mantle

the two men fight and Gira asks Debonica to choose who the Crown should go to.

the two transfroms. Rairnoir's transformation is all the ash bugs accumulate on him and he has a monster form like a gladiator.

INFERNO (movie ver.) plays

Debonica throws the crown towards Gira. "I want to live! My king is Gira!"

The others arrive and Gira & co. all say one signature line

Jeramie arrives following spider web on Yanma

Final fight

it's cool trust me.

Kaguragi butt-butting the enemy again

himerita team has three shots

blue white slash from right to left and rita shoots arrow from the opposite side

no mecha fight

soundtrack v1t1 + t24 (waking the king instrumental)

Rainoiru: That path of yours, can you save the people?

Gira: I promise, as the King to a new legacy.

Epilogue

Jeramie narrates in an empty Shugoddom throne room (kinda like ep20 end) as Coronation goes again

Orphans here. Kogane crying

trailer shots of Gira sitting on the throne

Gokkan's throne is there too and Morfonia makes Rita fake-clap by holding their hands

moments of silence when Douga puts the crown on Gira and just after he sits on the throne.

closing words from Jeramie: no one knows what will happen next. even then, he can only go forward in the path of king (王道) he chose.

no op/ed. cast & crew credits played during opening coronation scene.

Debonica eating the cake she deemed too sweet before and says shiawase.

[dulcecatrina]

let’s talk about the fact that this movie had our trio make amends with their past to fight for and save their future:

Finn is a defected stormtrooper, and in this one he meets and works with someone who also defected and her whole squad, learning he is not alone and can in fact make a life for himself and is not a stormtrooper anymore. Jannah is a symbol of that growth: how neither of them recognized the stormtrooper in each other because neither are those people anymore.

And Finn actually engages with his force sensitivity this time around! He says it himself: now he believes and thus he can see how the force guided him to Rey and Poe and the Resistance, and he can now use that bond to protect them.

Poe was a spice smuggler once upon a time and left to join the Rebellion, and in this movie we see him making amends and working with them, and they forgive him for leaving while he steps up to become a general. His flirtation with Zorii feels more like a joke, and in the end when he beckons her and she shakes her head, he cedes because his past is his past and that is where it must stay, even if it echoes.

Zurii and Poe say it themselves: back in the spice trade they didn’t trust each other. The Resistance last move, Poe’s last move, is based on trust. When Zurii offers him to leave, he says no because he is not the kid who abandoned the spice trade, he is a man with a belief and responsibility to look after his people. His plan reflects how much he has changed.

And Rey.

Rey.

Rey has been searching for her family all of her life, and now she knows who she was: a Palpatine. And there is so much about how this darkness is in her blood, but her parents could not have been evil if they loved her enough to hide her from the dark. They loved her and tried to save her, not to use her. And this resonates with the other people in her life: Finn, who cares for her even when she pushes him away; Poe, who tells her ‘you are our best pilot’ and called her by name when Kylo insisted she was a nobody; Han and Chewie, who recognized her first as a person; and the Skywalkers, who loved her, deeply enough to save galaxies.

She appreciates the sacrifice her parents made to hide and protect her, but she now knows her true family is with Finn and Poe and the resistance, and the Skywalkers are the ones who helped her grow.

So: working with your past to protect their future, a time of peace where they can live and grow outside the war that has shaped and raised them.

[kafetrinken]

Out of wishing he would have survived I drew this: A “what if Ben survived and kept the Lightsabers of his family for himself as memory and created a new one” (basically Rey swapped with Ben)

[petersthimble]

Adam Drivers back must be in so much pain from carrying the sequel trilogy

[naiadish]

[werewolf-cuddles]

Me: Alright, I think I’ve got all my salt about The Rise of Skywalker’s ending out of my system

*rumours and speculation spreading around that Ben was originally supposed to live, but the ending was changed at the last minute, which is why his death scene is so awkwardly done and why Rey barely mourns him afterwards*

Me: ...

[amidalahsoka]

Someone discuss RoS spoilers with me.

NOW I’ve only seen Rise of skywalker once but that scene where Rey is looking up to the sky and she sees stars and hears the Jedi’s voices immediately made me think she was seeing the world between worlds, somehow contacting the past Jedi through that. Am I the only person who thought that?? Also can someone tell me whether I’m wrong or right about that assumption cuz so far its my canon

[niyana-the-ambiguous-mobian]

Who the heck had sex with Palpatine and bore him a child???

I can’t stop thinking about this.

[known-prequel-apologist]

Rise of Skywalker spoilers below

Like really major spoilers- not kidding

Okay, so that was an uneven movie. Still I didn’t hate it. I actually quite liked it. It wasn’t perfect, but it had lots of good moments.

So the things I liked: Seeing Han again!!! And him saying “I know” to Kylo. Seeing Luke again! Also I finally got Rey Skywalker!! even if it was in a really weird way. I also really loved the scene where Rey hears all the previous Jedi, I think I even heard Hayden Christensen in there, but don’t quote me on that. And you know what? I actually kind of liked Kylo’s redemption, and though my best friend will never believe me I actually didn’t mind reylo happening. Though you know if it had lasted longer than a second I might have been mad. (seriously what does Rey see in him? is patricide that much of a turn-on?) And of course they made Finn force sensitive!!!!! I fucking love it!! Also Lando was back which was great. Also loved c-3po and the rest of droids, being iconic like always.

Things I didn’t like: Palpatine, seriously why the f*ck was Palpatine there? And they actually made Rey Palpatine a thing. Like that was only supposed to be something the reddit bros had cooked up not a real freaking thing. Also somebody behind the scenes clearly didn’t know what the fuck to do with Hux. I mean he clearly should have had General Pryde’s role. Also there was a lot of general structure problems, but I’m too tired to talk about them now.

On a general note, Leia had a really weird role, but there’s really nothing they could have done about that. RIP Carrie Fisher. 

Anyways may the force be with you

[darth-memes]

[dilfslayer1080p]

I’m so fucking sorry

[nakamatoo]

The one thing I do agree that shouldn’t have been tampered or changed is the idea that Rey wasn’t relatated to any established Star Wars characters and that she was essentially a nobody. The one thing I loved about the last Jedi is how it broke the mold of a Star Wars trope that you are only destined for greatness based on your past ancestry and your family lineage. Having Rey being a nobody introduced the concept of “ Hey, it’s ok if you don’t come from a special family like the skywalkers. Anyone can be forced sensitive and anyone can be a hero” and that’s why I liked her character. She didn’t come from any special circumstances, but was still able to be an established and recognizable Star Wars character regardless.

Having her being a Palestine kind of squanders that idea. Granted I don’t mind the concept, but I think having her not be related to any special family lineage was more powerful in a thematic sense than saying, “ oh hey you know that cool theory you had about Rey being a skywalker? Doesn’t that sound cool?! Let’s make it actually canon!”

[dulcecatrina]

my mom: Rey’s story proves that evil always triumphs, she is a Palpatine and has evil blood, and even if she is good that evil is in hers and since she is the most powerful being on the universe that means evil triumphed anyway. she can’t be a Skywalker, she should have married Ben

me, a simple gay: Rey’s story proves that we are more than our blood, that we aren’t defined by our relatives and that the family that Truly matters is the one you choose for yourself, the family you find in the people you love and who love you in return unconditionally

[toosicktoocare]

Opinions on Reylo? I’d love to hear your thoughts on TROS. And, are you a fan of StormPilot? Would you be willing to write for either ship? (Sorry this is kind of a loaded ask, but like I love your writing, and all the posts, not just fics, on your blog make me so happy. Sorry if this is mumbled and jumbled I get super nervous, even anonymously, sending things in)

No apologies needed!!!

I will still tag as spoilers, but just in case SPOILERS BELOW—-

So I don’t like Reylo. I have nothing against people who ship it because I think it’s dumb to fight over ships— it’s just not my slice of bread. Their whole story just felt weird in the three movies to me. (Literally coming from someone who ships probably the most problematic ship of the new movies lmfao) but like I spent half of the time thinking they were siblings and the other half just thinking everything felt weird lol and I just really didn’t want a romance with Rey to be the reason Kylo suddenly turns good and like it didn’t happen that way (thank you JJ) but it still felt weird (looking at you end scene with them)

TROS was a wild ride. I liked it for sure, but it had its flaws and I’ve said in a previous post that I think JJ had to somehow take the creative direction Rian Johnson went in the last Jedi and work with it despite his own creative direction to wrap up the trilogy in a way that made sense which I’m sure was hard af (did they have to kill a certain someone at the end, no— I’m not salty or anything lmao)

I’ve been shipping StormPilot since the force awakens lol and I think I would be willing to write for them occasionally bc Poe Dameron really be out here having HELLA chemistry with literally everyone lmao

I wouldn’t write Reylo. I love writing the two of them together in a sibling/ultra best friend kinda way, but I just like don’t ship them lol I’ve always perceived them as these weird siblings type people with some weird bond in the movies lol (though I will say their fight scene together in the last Jedi could have turned me into a shipper just solely based on how freaking cool that scene was)

Also you are the sweetest human ever and I love when I get asks like this so please never apologize for asking me anything :)

[blueoatmeal]

looking for sw fic recs

alright. ok. ok.

listen. I don’t ship reylo. reyben? But my mom does

so please, if there is a reylo fic with the following things, please let me know. I think she’d really enjoy a well-written reylo fic. I will be reading it before suggesting it to her

i know there’s fandom shit but I haven’t been involved (or paying much attention) and mom knows none of it so. just. she just wants a romance with characters she likes n thinks have chemistry, ‘kay? but if the author is an asshole, I want nothing to do w their story

the rise of skywalker spoilers ahoy!!!

no explicit sex

nothing sexier than what’s already in the movie saga

ben is redeemed

both live!!!!!!!!

rey is still the main hero, kylo doesn't upstage her

ben’s crimes are acknowledged and not smoothed over

gotta be a nice kiss in there somewhere

some humor is great

idk just, if it feels like the movies, that’s perfect

gotta be VERY canon-compliant; my fam knows the lore p dang well

also gotta be in character

the redemption has gotta be a central theme. mom loves that stuff. wished Vader got to hang around after his redemption when she saw rotj in the 80s

longer than 2K at least. longer fic preferred

probably rated gen, teen, or mature for violence only

also loves the other characters! esp the oldies! so if they’re in there too, all the better!

no killing off characters for ship reasons. no character bashing

(in this house we love and appreciate rose tico fyi)

so yeah idk, reply to this or drop an ask, anon’s on
