In the final episode of Ren's journey, we take up where the end of Episode 9 left off...

Cult members have just destroyed Shingo's hideout and Ren is trying to get the wounded Shingo to a hospital. Only an hour of time stands between the portal to heaven opening and Ren's destiny.

On this episode, we try to fill some of the lore about the "Fox Witch" and how the cult would defeat her with the help of Angel Sentinels. Ren also further explains his relationship with his mysterious therapist. He also describes some of the monster visions he saw, as well as his imaginary friend that sat on his shoulder and warned him when danger was near!

In episode 12, we'll pick up where episode 9 left off.

As a treat to our listeners, we released a brief AI "short" on youtube of what Artificial Intelligence thinks "Rogue Fighter X" should look like. Here is the link:

Before we pick up the story in Shingo's destroyed hideout, we've found new information we think is vital to the story...

In this weeks episode, we are lucky enough to speak to Isamu, the director from Japan who was supposed to direct the Tokusatsu kids show "Rogue Fighter X". He was able to dig up 35 glorious seconds of pieced together trailer created by the cult leaders Jimmy and Imi Muzaki. This tiny bit of history also has the movie song added as well.

Here is link to the snippet of the trailer on youtube: https://youtu.be/LZS-WHy4Q3I?si=YtEZIeglTHQVJKem

In this episode we continue to follow Rin's story in his teens. From a terrifying experience with a zealous school janitor, to a new stranger stalking Rin at night, Rin has few people he can turn to for help. And just to make it all the more weird, strange manga drawings start showing up on the sidewalk outside his house. What happens when he follows the bizarre artists who draws them? Tune in and find out...

In this episode, we are lucky enough to speak to a representative of the new version of the "Heavenly Path" religion. They discuss the purpose of the new church and how it is connected to Emi Hayashi...aka Emi Muzaki.

Remember the urban legend stories about stairs found in forests that lead to nowhere? Weird sensations when standing on these stairs?

We would say learn more about this religion by going to www.heavenlypath.org but unfortunately between the time of this interview and releasing the podcast, the website has gone missing...

On this episode, we continue our story with "Rin" in his teen years, the chosen child that would create the steps into heaven, and bring about the end of the world according to the cult "The Heavenly Path". While most people are naturally afraid of the dark, Rin is more afraid of daylight because the monsters that come out of the hole in the sky were stronger under the ultraviolet rays of the sun.

At night, it was a different story...Happy Halloween!

As halloween gift, we added an AI concept of the original torn image of "Rogue Fighter X" as a full blown tokusatsu show. You can find it here.

On this episode, we are introduced to "Rin" the supposed son of Jimmy Muzaki. Rin gives us his take on growing up in his Mother Emi's cult called "The Heavenly Path".

Rin will walk us through those early years of his life as he and his mother sneak out of Japan and move to America. Do some of the cult members come with them? Does the cult grow in both Japan and America? Tune in and discover more about Rin's bizarre childhood while he and Emi constantly live in hiding until an unexpected death in the family changes everything...

On this weeks podcast, we piece together an online conversation from our mysterious you-tuber that uploaded the bizarre cult videos. He talks about strange sightings in the woods during cult meetings and bizarre encounters with 'angel sentinels' that bite.

Can he add insight into the disappearance and possible murder of Jimmy Muzaki, the cult leader? Or is our mysterious connection really trying to hide the truth about what happened to Jimmy over fifty years ago, deep in that forest in Japan. One thing is for certain, it will be difficult to pull information about the tokusatsu kids show "Rogue Fighter X" if the Heavenly Path cult members don't even want to be found...
