Orochi (Event)

Orochi is a disastrous event happening during Kamen Rider Hibiki. Not much is known about what this event really means, but signs leading up to it suggest it can't be good. The first signal of Orochi occuring is the appearance of Kodama's forest, which suddenly appears out of nowhere at inappropriate places, such as a city. What follows is the sudden multiplication of Makamou, mysteriously appearing without any parent Douji or Hime.

This event is also out of the control and even feared by The Man and Woman as these attempted to work together with the Oni, by negotiating with them and even commanding their servants Super Douji and Hime to assist the Oni in a fight.

To stop Orochi, a complex and dangerous sealing ritual is required. Ibuki, as the heir of an ancient family of Oni, is chosen to do this ritual, but since Ibuki is very insecure about surviving, Hibiki decides to take his place. Hibiki starts the sealing of Orochi, causing hundreds of Makamou to attack him and the other Oni present at the site of the ritual. The rest of the ritual and coinciding battle is not shown in the series, but since everyone is still alive in the epilogue happening 1 year later, it can be assumed Hibiki succeeded.
