[FreshToku]

Imagine watching this movie in an actual theater though, letting it and all of its everything wash over you in surround sound.

Here's just some scattered thoughts about it I have:

-I was going to say it's nice they found an excuse to bust out the Edo set again, before remembering they did do that in the first episode for no reason. So I guess its like coming full circle?!

-It actually ticks me off to see Geiz Revive lose to Woz GingaFinally. I do not care about power levels but the former is a symbol born from a culmination of an intense, high-emotions arc, and the latter is some spacesuit plucked from a random alien.

-I know I just said I don't care about power levels but its so sad/funny how much Grand Zi-O sucks. Some all-powerful ruler of time and space, huh!

-The movie form is neat! I like the idea of Sougo borrowing power from his evil future self to combat this current enemy that threatens them both. Though if the climax was going to be all about celebrating Heisei Riders, you'd think Grand Zi-O, which is literally a walking tribute to all of Heisei Riders, would be the one to use there...

-I like the inherent message that it's a good thing all the Rider shows are weird, messy, and different. If anything, I think they aren't weird and different enough lately! Now if this movie's message was that its a good thing that Zi-O specifically is weird and messy, well... that'd be another story >:0

-The credits sequence is a weirdly low-effort clipshow looking thing? That song is great though. Listen to P.A.R.T.Y. ~ユニバース・フェスティバル~ by DA PUMP on spotify or something right now!!

-I liked Heisei Generations FOREVER a lot more.

My favourite part is how when it flashes through shots of all the belts (the merchandise is the real heroes of this franchise!), Faiz's naturally is just empty because the phone gets taken out entirely for Blaster.
