ターセルス・ミルーリア・ダ・パーゴ

"[Morfonia] wants to be with Rittan..." "Because we'll always be together" -Morfonia and Rita. KingOh Episode 10&25

"To Rita who now knows the truth,

The law exists for the sake of the weak. Take pride in your weakness.

Karras deHaan"

Sound Design

During on-site filming for the showdown, the cicadas were too noisy, almost the whole sequence was dubbed over later. (Taisei cast blog)

(05:45, Rita choked complaining too fast about scalpers) Sound of tea spilling is added at Director Nakazawa's request to show more of Rita's anxiety. (tw.sd, same below)

(11:04) Aiming to increase the impact of Glodi's debut, with the close-up shot of Himeno before his face is revealed to the audience, the fountains of Ishabana castle is amplified. It is in junction with Himeno's rising tension as well.

(20:42) As Rita activates the secret seal from their right eye, you can hear a little of the same diamond dust sound effect from the court of Gokkan.

(21:05) As the ice in Rita's heart melts, in order to represent that warmth with sound, the sound of the howling snowstorm stopped.

Glodi Leucodium

Glodi's power is not "control" of the dead by its "revival". The revived follows a survival instinct and fight. (pn)

Glodi's design motif is the snail parasite genus Leucochloridium. The spiral in the dead's eyes is the distinctive pattern when the parasite took hold. (pn)

Kousei Amano (Kamen Rider Garren, Fourze's Principal) was chosen for the role early in casting. Takano pretty much wrote the character's dialogue tailored to the actor. He took reference from his past works and his Twitter. (pn/tw.tm)

Kousei Amano's wife, Akiko Hinagata, played Iroki, Toufu's ruler before Kaguragi, in King-Ohger's summer movie. Amano did a self-initiated daily countdown to "Mama Iroki"'s debut, among other wife-hyping hijinks. This time, his wife named his character "Glodi Amano" (tw)

Amano's comment: Hello, friends new and old. I am Kousei Amano, playing Glodi. You may be surprised, but I myself am the most surprised. Still remebering a fondness to the red stag beetle, I am fascinated by King-Ohger's world. Since episode 1, I've been enjoying the show as a viewer. I never imagined myself could become a part of it.

I was thrilled when my partner, Akiko Hinagata, participated as Iroki in the summer movie, but I was also a little jealous. Iroki knew that, and was very happy for my turn this time.

Returning to Nitiasa after a long time, filming technology has progressed to my bewilderment. A little nervous at first, but the cast and crew welcomed me warmly. My time on set was very enjoyable. Glodi might not be a character you'll root for, but please lend me your support.

Others

Because the story calls for Ishabana to be frozen, the advantage of 3D assets/live composition, where weather and time can be changed at will, is put to good use. (pn)

In Ishabana where beauty is above all, even foul words are unforgivable. The phrase taserus millia da pango is used instead. (tw.tm)

The little bit of warmth Rita felt is actually Himeno. Rita stilled themself to unwavering neutrality, yet they are afraid inside. (asahi story)
