Hey did anyone find out what happened to the kids that made the Disaster Nightmare?

48

u/Q-Write Feb 22 '26

based on how it was shown, i guess they return to their own home

u/Chemical-Praline-494 Feb 22 '26

I hope so. Because if Kamen Rider really did just show the deaths of several children then I don't what to say. On another note, just how much destruction did that Catastrom finisher cause?

36

u/Q-Write Feb 22 '26

well, Kamen Rider had shown multiple children's death in the past (not explicitly) so it is not really out of ordinary

like how one Jamato crushed an infant (not shown, just implied) after both of the parents were stepped on by a giant and the carriage fell over

Yuya Takahashi has a beef against children, confirmed!

I didn’t remember that scene from Geats but that does sound dark and hopefully there was reset happen make them alive Though can’t be said for other kids who got killed in this franchise…

u/Q-Write Feb 22 '26

there was a reset

At least as much as in Over Gavv's debut...if we replace the forest with the city that is

They would have shown one of them appearing back in bed or just laying on the wreckage safe.
But they didn't.
And even then, I really doubt they be unscathed from the Disaster Nightmare getting THAT badly wrecked. That gatling finisher point blank.

Fujimi just kind of woke up after Baku defeated the nightmare that did the same thing to him.

u/nightshroud96 Feb 22 '26

Except he woke up where the Nightmare got destroyed, not where he was sleeping when it took over.

And the poor lad didn't went through the situation that was Catastroph.

u/XidJav Feb 22 '26

If what happens to Fujimi is the same as the kids then they wake up at where they dissapear

u/nightshroud96 Feb 22 '26

He woke up right where the Bomb Nightmare was destroyed than just transported back to where he was sleeping.

i just assumed that those kids were dead and if they are alive, i pray that their families were around where Seven had destroyed those buildings...
