I was on a bit of an Ex-Aid kick lately myself, so I sat down to finally rewatch this one for what I think might have somehow been the first time. I say "somehow" because this movie left such a positive impression on me the first time I'm surprised it didn't become one of those Rider movies I come back to at least every couple years. Just a real fantastic, Mega Max-y crossover between a bunch of cool shows that's neat for all the reasons Die pointed out and also,
the most important reason
, I got to see Haruto onscreen with Takeru, as though Kamen Rider Taisen didn't spoil me enough when it came to Wizard team-ups.
Plus, as people who hate Ghost will be happy to tell you, Takeru in general is in top form here. Even on a rewatch, I found myself struck by just how much respect Yuuya Takahashi's script has for a show he didn't have anything to do with. It's not just that Takeru is cool. It's not even just that he has good scenes of bonding with Emu. It's that basically Emu's entire character arc in the movie is about his frustration that he isn't anywhere near as cool as Takeru, this dude who keeps throwing himself in front of explosions to protect the people he cares about even at the cost of his own life. ...Which he almost loses,
again...
but like most times this happens to Takeru, it works way better for the narrative than it's given credit for. I really dig how all throughout the movie, people are telling Takeru not to push himself too much, building up to that ending, because it conveys this idea that like,
Takeru was always working that hard
, back in his show. That he gives more than he even has to give. It's neat. This movie goes out of its way to treat all the Riders in it like proper superstars, and it's kind of no wonder Emu feels a little insecure! Which, considering this is a movie from early in his show, makes plenty of sense as the focus for him, too! Lots of real neat things about this movie!

In general, Sakamoto seems to love bringing back people from previous things he's worked on when he has the chance. Just as an example from Ex-Aid, even, Lazer's debut in episode 4 had Ultraman Ginga as the patient of the week, and then we just had Ultraman Victory in two episodes of Revice by him only a couple weeks back!
