This is probably the film I remember best from this trilogy, primarily on the back of the really solid gag about Momotaros throwing the Denliner pass. I am always a sucker for a tokusatsu gag that pokes fun at some of the conventions of the genre.
The other, kind of sad thing, is that while Kamen Rider Den-O will return in, like, a lot of stuff, this is the final time we'll see the whole crew together. The Taros are good, but the human cast members start appearing more sporadically and some characters, like Kohana, are just gone after this point. But, yeah, still a little sad that they couldn't keep doing this every summer forever. Quote:

Yeah, I’ll join the crowd that likes this movie. Considering how stale I thought the other two were, this one feels stronger purely based on how unique it is.
And also, when is P-Bandai getting round to the Diend K-Touch, considering how generous they’re currently being with unreleased items from older shows? |

Diend was blatantly a favorite character for Yonemura. From writing his very first scene in the Blade episodes, to the implied depth in the Hibiki episodes, and all through his development in the final stretch of the show, it now seems evident to me he fell for Kaitou the way Kaitou fell for Tsukasa. I mean, I could even see this guy shoving Diend into another series completely just for a shot at writing him some more, you know?
You might even say Kaitou stole the show from the Den-Liner crew here. This is a pretty fun flick, for sure. I recall it being my least favorite of the bunch on a first viewing, in large part due to a bit of apprehension about it being this weird impromptu crossover, but when I went back to it along with the rest of Den-O a couple years back, I was way more receptive. Again, I've come around to Kaitou a ton over the years, and having rewatched Decade itself now, I'll probably enjoy this movie even more the next time I get around to it.

Which, god, maybe puts Yellow ahead of Red for me? Probably not, Red is so good, the reviews back me up, but Yellow absolutely lands an out-of-nowhere emotional punch at the end that is really amazing. I hope you find it as compelling as I did when you get back to it!

The G Den-O suit is a nice retool. I love how it is just monochrome with some added flare via red and blue siren-themed eyes. Almost Spare Sheriff-y in execution that it reminds me of Robo Rider from RX.

Sorry I'm late my last 3 weeks have been shit (things are looking up for me) Yellow was the point were if Cho Den-O was the day Den-O died then TOEI decided to zombify it other than Diend almost NOTHING about this works and the police screamed "we are out of ideas" also why is Diend Compelte form movie only villains shouldn't it be G3(TBF Gills is more in line with how Secondary Riders are since isn't he a corrupted version of Agito)/Knight/Kaixa/Garren(I was in the "Chalice is Blade's secondary rider" camp for a while)/Ibuki/Gattack/Zeronos/Ixa

I can sort of see why Diend Complete is movie villains instead of Secondary Final Forms. First, most secondaries don't really have Final Forms? Ibuki doesn't, Gatack basically doesn't, Kaixa doesn't (unless a handful of sand is going to get Diend out of a fight), etc etc etc. Second, it's a little funny that Diend gets a new form in a movie, and that form is made of other movie-only suits. That's a halfway decent gag. Finally... I don't know, it's in one scene. I'm okay letting Yonemura have this one.

Yeah, I got that same Space Sheriff vibe off of it. It's a pretty striking suit!
Oof! Sorry this one didn't work for you, but I'm glad to hear non-Rider things are looking better these days. I can sort of see why Diend Complete is movie villains instead of Secondary Final Forms.
