Mori’s full statement reads:

This is a continuation of last night.
It would be a long post and it is not a pleasant story. Please read only if you are interested.
When a friend asked, “Can you help you The rider is here Movie project, mori-sensei? ”
When I met the producer (hereafter called Mr. A), he said: “We want to do one The rider is here Spinoff movies. This is still in the planning stage, but can you help us with any good ideas? D. Diverjust started serialization. The conversation went smoothly and I had a very favorable impression of Mr. A.
Afterwards, between the two works, I sorted out the stories we talked about and drew several storyboards. It’s hard work, but because The rider is hereI like it, it doesn’t seem like a trivia.
Then I met Mr. A again.
He was impressed by the stories and storyboards I showed him. I’m very happy. We also talked about it D. DiverI think he likes the concept of “a hero who changes and fights in his dreams”. I gave him a copy of the comic and the next day he told me, “I look forward to transformation!”
After that, the spin-off project seemed to have failed, but my friend told me: “Don’t worry. If there is a chance, we can work together.”
He said he wanted to meet again, so I’m glad we had a good relationship.
Then, time passed and I saw the relevant news The rider is here [Zeztz].
I was shocked and confused.
The editor of the comics also knows that I’m working on The rider is here Project, so they wanted to know what was going on and decided to contact Mr. A.
He said he would explain immediately, and honestly, I feel relieved.
I don’t want to have any trouble with a big company like a big company toeiespecially because they deal with many of my favorite works.
I just wanted to hear his explanation and resolve any misunderstandings. But this did not happen.
Mr. A and his superiors said, “I am a producer of the movie, not a TV series. We haven’t talked about it. I don’t know anything about it.”
We told them: “We can’t verify what is not discussed. Because you both come from toeiand all participate in production The rider is hereit is your responsibility to explain this. ”
Mr. A replied, “You are right. I will bring the TV production staff right away.” He said we will contact us immediately, so we decided to wait. But a week, and then the last 10 days, we didn’t have contact.
Two weeks passed and we wondered if they were just ignoring us. We contacted Mr. A again and asked, “Shouldn’t we discuss it immediately?”
Then, a few days later, we received a reply from TV producer Mr. B.
In short, it says:
“I haven’t discussed it with A. It’s written in a more polite tone.
“Many similar concepts are domestic and international”…?
I’ve never seen a superhero change and fight in my dreams, except D. Diver.
How excited I remember [Kentaro] “It’s new!” Miura said when I created the idea.
“There are no many similar concepts at home and internationally”, so we can only conclude that they have no intention of dealing with us honestly.
Not only was there no immediate response, but the promise to discuss the matter was broken, which disappointed me very much.
I have cooperated on the project according to the requirements of the project The rider is here Producer.
Why do I have to treat me so dishonestly?
I am angry.
If not D. DiverI think I can handle it.
but D. Diver It was the last comic I created with Miura. To me, it was like a souvenir, so it made me even more excited.
I can’t understand this because of my lack of experience, so I apologize for causing fuss. I apologize if I cause any inconvenience to those who are looking forward to new things The rider is here. I’m really sorry.

Mori’s comment came after a September 4 post, saying he met The rider is here Producer discussion for winter 2023 D. Diver. The comic creator further noted that he had been in touch with the producer until February 2024 and even provided a copy for the producer. D. Diver comics. Mori said later on September 4 that he will further elaborate on his previous post, citing a lack of clear explanation. The comic creator also acknowledged that similar story concepts do not equal stolen, but said he wanted to explain new similarities The rider is here Series and D. Diver.

As of press time, Mori issued a final statement on the matter on September 6:

I tried to explain this situation clearly, but it was difficult to satisfy everyone, and frankly my communication skills were not very good…I can’t ignore my main work, so this would be my last statement on this issue.
Finally, I would like to ask you to avoid making any hasty judgments.
I wouldn’t do that, either. The truth is, I can’t be cut off because I received any explanation about what happened. That’s what makes me angry.
Another thing, I had no intention of fighting this.
As I mentioned before, I’m trying to solve this problem by discussing it from the very beginning.
We have agreed to speak, but that promise has been violated, which is why I can’t let it go.
It is common to overlap ideas. It also happens in the comics industry. If we say it, we may have realized that overlap is not that important. Even if there is some overlap, we can discuss and respect each other’s views.
I’m sorry we can have a discussion.
This is what I say about this matter.
I’m not suitable for dealing with this situation… Sorry, but I can’t continue.
I won’t reply to any comments.
Please understand, I will keep your anger and encouragement. Thanks.
