The Undead of Blade are mythic archetypes. They are immortal creatures playing a Battle Fight to decide which species rules Earth. The horror here is cosmic. The Joker Undead (Hajime) isn't evil; he is a natural disaster in human form. If he wins, humanity ends. The conflict is vertical: Order vs. Chaos.
Faiz ends with a question ("Can he survive?"). Blade ends with an answer ("He survived, but he is dead to the world."). Conclusion: Two Sides of the Heisei Coin Faiz is a tragedy of communication . No one says the right thing. Secrets kill. The belt malfunctions. It is the messy, ugly, frustrating reality of depression and otherness. kamen rider faiz and blade
The Blade TV ending is a stone-cold masterpiece of closure. Kenzaki, now an immortal Joker, rides away on his bike. Hajime, unaware of the sacrifice, runs after him screaming "Kenzaki!" as the camera pulls back. Kenzaki cannot answer. He can never see his friends again. The credits roll over silence. It is a happy ending (the world is saved) and the saddest ending (the hero is erased) simultaneously. The Undead of Blade are mythic archetypes
