I also watched Movie Battle Royal. I also agree that Ryuki's Riders look like they were added at the last moment, but perhaps this is justified by the appearance of the actors and some kind of plot (although Ryuki's lore got confused back in the noughties). It's also funny that they didn't let the veteran villains get beaten by the rookies. Also on the plus side are a well-placed and varied action (including on vehicles, finally!), a cute baby demon, a well-woven fight between riders. That is, they do not immediately become friends, but they do not fight just to fight (as in Chou Super Hero Taisen). Perhaps it can be added as a plus that the Desire Royal concept will continue to be used in the show itself. At the same time, yes, the plot and emotionally the film feels empty. Even when compared with the first crossovers of the early tenths, there was something to tell at least in individual parts. Here we get the finale of Revice, which didn’t get into the show (whose concept Wizard realized better ten years ago) and, albeit entertaining, but not so exciting as to forgive him emptiness, action. So I hope there's a better script for the next crossover.

Small remarks:
- Due to Geat's non-standard preferences, we didn't get a gunslinger duel. It's a shame;
- Seeker is clearly better at using Power Builder than Geats;
- My idea that the artificial person should be Keiwa, not Neon, was unexpectedly confirmed. That is, all the demons were responsible for the negative or hidden parts of the character of the owners, and his demon wants the same salvation for everyone as Keiwa himself.
- Neon is shown to be a worse person than Sakura, throwing things around and disturbing people while the "Demonic Rider" stops to help them. It is clear that the purpose of the comic effect and the emphasis is more on the difference between the morals of the shows than its specific characters;
- Michinaga is not in character at all;
-Given all his words and actions, Girori must have seriously believed that saving the world is the main goal of the DGP and the show is just a by-product. Alternatively, he could be a human from our time, recruited like Neon's father.
