[Androzani84]

Well, I’ve got a lot to talk about for this movie. First off, I’ll start by explaining the lineups for each part of the battle.

* Saikou, Den-O, ToQ 1gou, Ex-Aid and Kiramai Red: More lighthearted comical designs and themes, with two of them being train heroes.
* Gokai Red and Zi-O: Anniversary heroes that had a large amount of continuity and tons of cameos.
* Decade and LupinRed: Decade usually partners with another gun-toting phantom thief, while Lupin Red has a passive aggressive relationship with another Tsukasa in pink.
* Kenzan, ZX, NinjaRed, HurricaneRed and AkaNinger: Ninjas.
* Battle Japan, GoggleRed, ZO and Kiva: Heroes that have partner creatures and originate outside of Japan.
* Espada, Stronger, DenziRed, Red One, and Build: Electricity and science heroes.
* Sabela, Red Racer, Go-On Red and Drive: Car-themed heroes. The exhaust smoke is where Sabela fits in.
* Slash, VulEagle, Blade, Shinken Red and Gaim: Swordfighters.
* Super-1, Red Flash, FiveRed, Fourze and Shishi Red: Space-themed heroes.
* Nigou, DynaRed, J and GoRed: Riders that used to be photographers, and Reds in a position of authority. Themes of protecting life.
- Saber, ChangeDragon, Agito, Ryuki and RyusoulRed: Dragon and knight-themed heroes (dinosaurs were originally thought to be dragons by archeologists, hence RyusoulRed’s appearance).
* ZenkaiJuran, TyrannoRanger, AbaRed, OOO and KyoryuRed: Dinosaur-themed heroes (OOO's Purple Cores being dinosaur themed).
* Buster, Red Mask, Black, RyuuRanger and GekiRed: Martial arts and a focus on super strength.
* Skyrider, Red Falcon, Red Hawk and ZyuohEagle: Flying and bird-themed heroes.
* ZenkaiVroon, Black RX, Red Turbo, BoukenRed and W: Adventure and learning-themed heroes.
* Durandal, Mega Red, TimeRed, Faiz and Kabuto: Time and speed heroes.
* Blades, ZenkaiGaon, Amazon, GingaRed and GaoRed: Lion and animal-themed heroes.
* Riderman, OhRed, DekaRed, Hibiki and Patren 1gou: Mentor-themed Riders, and police-themed Reds.
* ZenkaiMagine, MagiRed, Gosei Red, Wizard and Ghost: Magic and supernatural-themed heroes.
* Zenkaizer, Twokaizer, Akarenger, Spade Ace and Red Buster: Zenkaizer working with the first two Sentai (one of which he was based on), and Twokaizer working with the one that came after the one he was based on.
* Ichigo, V3, Kuuga, Zero-One and Saber: Saber working with the first Riders of each era. V3 and Saber are also both the protagonists of the series after the first of their era.

Next up, back when this movie came out, myself and dreamcastergirl did a play by play of our thoughts on it, and rather than simply consult it to get the memory back, I decided to reproduce (a tatstefully edited version of) the conversation here.

DCG: Here we go
Ah I can see sandman clearly now
[Redacted for spoilers]
So happy

Me: Yes, this is where the costumes originated

DCG: Oh
I had no idea
Shows how in the loop I have been

Me: To be honest, I had to look it up.

DCG: Haha
Why is Touma complaining. Isn’t he just putting off work lol

Me: I want to see what Kento got up to in the Carranger/Black RX/Drive hybrid world.

DCG: Yeah, I would have been up for that
Hmm, I think I did this better lol
I think Rintaro is kind of adorable in this so far
I like Touma’s jacket lol

Me: I think this is the first time in a while Yuri directly turns into the sword

DCG: Asumu

DCG: (reply to my last comment) Oh I forgot he did that
Oh
The tower from Dragon Ball actually had a point there
(Emojis)
Sophia has a pretty loose grip on reality

Me: Asmodeus confirmed most OP character ever

DCG: The kid does not draw like Ishinomori at all

Me: Meanwhile, at the Kyoto stage

DCG: So is Buster just not going to be in this properly?

Me: I assume he got into his own misadventure offscreen

DCG: But he is the main character hahah
Unexpected

Me: Slightly less unexpected

DCG: Hahaha
Bunch of weirdos
Why is Kintaros Pigsy lol
Someone is definitely stopping hem from making it to the west haha

Me: Given the presence of Rinshi, it must be the Chinese

DCG: We’ll there is the obligatory Den-o moment I guess

Me: It’s Ninja enemy time

DCG: Doggy,
Hahah
I liked the Megaraper
I have. I idea what is going on here

Me: They’re reenacting Satomi Hakkenden with Kyuranger characters in the supporting roles, it seems

DCG: Maybe it’s because I don’t recognise so many of the cameos
I really am not a fan of the Owner

Me: You should recognise these guys…. I think

DCG: Oh is it the Shinkenger guys?
I did not recognise KirameiBlue at all hahahah
This doesn’t look like India at all

Me: wow that grunt was a douche

DCG: Why did they use the worst Zi-o armour

Me: This is the closest we get to an official Saber/01 crossover

DCG: I guess… well… I don’t know, I still don’t really like Aruto

Me: I love how the Kamen Rider J book Zyuran has is bigger than the others

DCG: I thought that was cute too haha
Oh I forgot this show had all these guys in it
Where are we?
Lol
As if they need to ask
I liked the Juran and Momo moment lol

Me: Hey Saber World, Swartz called, he wants his plan back

DCG: This is even lighter on plot than I expected, you know
See, Asmodeus is not a bad guy after all
I feel this way about the Heisei era too lol
Just rip it up

Me: Man he drew Zenkaiser and Blades quickly
Quick, skip to the end

DCG: This film is not doing it for me

Me: This is where it gets weird

DCG: Unreal World
This is green screen
I do not get this
Is he a child?

Me: Basically, Ishinomori stopped wiriting as a kid and now everyone lives in a mundane world

DCG: Or unwell…

DCG: (responding to my last comment) Oh!
Um… yeah…
The weird camera and the green screen are nauseating

Me: I did say it gets weird here

DCG: It is a bit… surreal
But not clever surreal, just trying to ape the style of Evangelion surreal
I like the message but ah,,
This isn’t for me
How does Touma function every day with this knowledge
This kind of changes everything
That is not a good angle for Luna

Me: And we’re back to reality, with an evil army that only has one major villain in it

DCG: Hahah, the grunts for promoted
Oh yay
Back to original armour
YAKYU KAMEN

Me: Tonight, the role of Masked Rider Shin will be portrayed by a mannequin
Where’s he been the whole story?

DCG: What the heck
At last. (Buster emoji)

Me: ‘Modern Rider is too much like Sentai’

DCG: I haven’t liked any of the music in this so far

Me: The logos should clear up whos fighting who

DCG: I don’t know how I feel about the logos
Tiny J
Red Falcon and Yakyu Kamen in the same shot

Me: You also get Buster and Black in the same fight

DCG: It’s like Toei is reading my stories
Hibiki sounded really weird

Me: Most of these guys are voice doubles

DCG: Yeah, I guessed as much
I like the Akibaranger mention
Could have done more with it though
Some self awareness from toei there

Me: I bet they saved a ton by shooting this close up

DCG: Oh yeah for sure
I guess more than a little bit that COVID came into it too

Me: Revice cameo over. Time for robot battle

DCG: I guess the Revice cameo wasn’t the worst
Ah I miss the old model shots

Me: Legit think this suit looks better than the one they cannibalised to make it.

DCG: Yeah, I think that looks fairly cool
Imagine if one of those books had hit Sophia in the face though
Ichigo is as amazing as ever
I Thought …. The end was good?
H,mmm

Me: Yeah, this is more okay than anything really amazing.

DCG: a lot of was less than amazing lol

Me: Though I do have an idea involving the Saber World.

DCG: I thought the Zi-o film did a better job of covering the same themes.

And next up, is my usual theme for Saber.

Throughout the ages, the heroes’ tales of battle all come together into one story.

Heroes never die, heroes live forever.

And finally, with the debut of Revice, comes the debut of my feature for Revice when you get around to watching it.

Ikki: It’s Ikki’s…

Vice: And Vice’s…

Both: Stamp Navi!

Ikki: And today’s stamp is this one!

Megalodon

Dive Boom Boom! Ready, go! Splash! Megalodon! Just a passing through h-h-h-hunter!

Ikki: This Vistamp increases Revice’s combat efficiency with punches. The Divine Fins on its arms can be used in close combat.

Vice: It’s also got some wicked cool water generation powers, allowing for some neat sliding attacks.

???: Hey, hey, hey!

Enter a man in a lab coat with glasses.

Man with glasses: This Vistamp’s basis was… this guy.

(Cut to stock footage montage)

Tsukasa: Just a passing through Kamen Rider. Remember that!

KamenRide: Decade!

MWG: The destroyer of worlds, Decade. He travels through Alternate Rider Worlds to guide the heroes in their quests. His Dimension attacks are really powerful

[B][I]Final AttackRide: D-D-D-Decade![B][I]

(Back to present)

Vice: Hey, who’s this guy?

Ikki: Vice! I can’t believe you forgot the guy who made us both Riders. How could you forget Geo-?

MWG: It’s okay. I haven’t been introduced properly yet. It’s only fair he pretends not to know me until I actually debut.

Vice: I knew we were starting this feature way too early.

Ikki: Anyway, we hope you enjoy the next instalment.

Vice: (despondent) We’re already cancelled.
