Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Kamen Rider 555 centers on story and character arcs rather than shoehorning in modern identity politics. Characters are developed based on their personalities and narrative relevance, not just identity traits. There's little sign of forced diversity or narrative compromise for ideological reasons, at least by today’s “woke” standards.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

Traditional themes like family, sacrifice, and friendship are at the heart of the story. Masculinity and femininity are presented in classical fashion, without subversion of gender roles. No detectable attempts to rewrite or critique cultural heritage to fit current ideological trends.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

While the show is primarily focused on good vs. evil with some shades of grey, there’s no agenda-driven mockery or villainization of traditional viewpoints. Multiple perspectives exist among the characters, with internal conflict and debate highlighted instead of ideological conformity.
