What is Kamen Rider Saber?

Kamen Rider Saber is a Japanese tokusatsu drama, the 31st entry of Toei Company's Kamen Rider franchise, and the second series to debut during the Reiwa period. It premiered on September 6, 2020, joining Mashin Sentai Kiramager, and later, Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger in the Super Hero Time line-up. The series is notable for its use of a fantasy setting, along with its storybook theming.

The premise of the series

The series revolves around a conflict between two realms: the human world and Wonder World, a dimension of fairy tales and legends. Two thousand years ago, a mysterious artifact called the Almighty Book was created in Wonder World, containing the power and knowledge of everything. However, a trio of monsters called the Megids attempted to steal it and create more of their kind, causing a great disaster that threatened both worlds. A group of swordsmen called the Sword of Logos emerged to protect the book and seal away the Megids.

In the present day, Touma Kamiyama is a novelist and bookstore owner who loves books and stories. He has a childhood memory of meeting a mysterious girl named Luna in Wonder World, who gave him a Wonder Ride Book before disappearing. One day, he encounters a Megid attack and inherits the title of Kamen Rider Saber from Daichi Kamijo, a former swordsman who betrayed his comrades 15 years ago. Using his sword and book, Touma transforms into a flame-themed knight who can access different powers by combining different books. He joins forces with Rintaro Shindo, aka Kamen Rider Blades, a water-themed swordsman from the Sword of Logos who recruits him into their organization. Together, they fight against the Megids who seek to destroy both worlds by unleashing their leader, Storious.

The series features a large cast of characters who transform into different Kamen Riders using swords and books. Each rider has a base form that corresponds to one of four elements: fire, water, wind, or earth.
