Not only is she looking sexier than ever, she is presented as a lot more badass and resourceful than she really got a chance to be in the main series, as she died almost as soon as she was introduced. Thankfully then, Jabi's return is a great one. The new villains are just as uninteresting, functioning more as plot devices of false tension, rather than being actual characters or adding much to what little story we have. Tsubasa has a damn cool suit of armour, even if he looks oddly like the main villain of Kamen Rider Kuuga, but his actual character is lacking, feeling more like a straight faced parody of early Kouga than anything else - this at times seems to be done deliberately, but it never makes his character more engaging. Rin is a child character and for some reason the universe decreed that ever child character must be annoying enough that you'd love to see them step in front of a bus. Kouga, Zero and the rest of our established characters are as enjoyable as ever, but everyone new is completely forgettable.

Unlike the TV show however, a weak story isn't balanced by strong characters. Once Jabi is back, we have a villain to defeat, and this time around it's the ancient and deadly Legules family! Long story short, this special is an unfocused mess that barely makes any sense and much like the TV show, uses magic MacGuffin's or made up terminology to stand in for real explanations. Thanks to Rin, Amon is able to bring a request from beyond the grave, he wants Kouga to save someone for him. So Kouga is wandering around fighting Horrors, duh, and along the way he meets a Makai Priestess in training who was sent by Priest Amon.
