So the good news? The Den-O movies are all uphill from here. This one has absolutely no lasting impact at all: the next film is back in the regular Denliner and nobody ever mentions being police again.

I've always found this film to be really weird in generally bad ways. It doesn't really fit with anything we know about Den-O, a lot of running time is devoted to incorporating a new character that never comes back, and Wataru is clearly written by someone who only saw the first episode of his show. There are some nice moments, but the whole thing is kind of a mess.

I'll give props to the Kintaros vs. Bad Guy fight, that was really fun. The bit at the end where they're all posing and goofing around while the criminals they're trying to stop are just sitting there in confusion was really good, too.

And for trivia, this is not the last time you'll be seeing Suzuki's actor. He'll be back in Decade.
