About the Films[]

The 3 movies are non-canon to Harmony Unleashed: Human Ponidox Continuum Shift. The trilogy movie series is a film series similarity to Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider The Movie: Cho Den-O Trilogy based off the AppleSpark Six (which is inspired by shipping and brotherhood) and the anime series when 3 separate films is about 2 characters as well as others that either appears in every film of the trilogy. Each of the films's subtitles contains the name of the ships NaruIchi97 likes, but the AppleSpark Chapter name takes an alternate name to Twijack. As of May, since the announcement of the currently untitled Equestria Girls MLP Chronicles Anime series, NI97 Announced that a cameo for Hinata Hyuuga and Naruto Uzumaki from Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto in the FlutterMac Chapter and a cameo for Kazuto Kirigaya and Asuna Yuuki from Reki Kawahara's Sword Art Online in the ShiningCadance chapter is confirmed, as well as the voice actors reprising their roles, leading Kishimoto and Kawahara approving of it. However, Aaron announced different spanish VA's for both Kazuto and Asuna for Latin American release since no company in Latin America dubbed Sword Art Online in Spanish nor aired on any network due to the anime industry in Latin America fading out and also due to Animax's change to Sony Spin and his way to stop airing anime since March 2012. The Trilogy's Chief Director is the anime's director Yoshiaki Okumura.

AppleSpark Chapter[]

Discord returns again! (After the elements of harmony defeated him (Return of Harmony), while in HPCS he got defeated (Ep13).)
