Just Kaixa's death. In the series he died alone, in the movie Takumi was there so he was able to squeeze in one last act of douchebaggery.

Just watched the scene and I'm okay with this retcon. Introducing the Oprehnoch King at that beach scene was an infintley better move then putting him in the second to last episode.

Plus, he's gotta show Micchy what the original Rider-douche king can do.

But that was one of Rider 1's helmet function.
The Crusher can break chains or other things.

I don't have anything against it... I just thought it was funny and neat that was shown.

Well... it's weird seeing a Gaim thing where Mitchy isn't being a massive douche... at least we have Kaixa for that though!

That was pretty good. Narutaki and Tsukasa continue to be entertaining characters to watch, and it's nice to see that the Showa riders can hold their own. Except for when the switch forms, as Fourze rocket states proved.

I just have one problem- the sentai showing up at the end. Sure, it was nice for the ToQgers to show up to help, but why the hell was Daigo there? He showed up, used his dinosaur/train transformer to help save the day and then leave? Where were the other Kyoryugers? And Phillip? And the other secondary riders? Considering Accel isn't in Fuuto, I'm just going to say that they were saving the world from something else, with a better plan than the original Taisen's. And they were led by Oren.

How is Daigo showing up alone functionally different from the entire Kyoryuger team showing up?

Philp is an odd case, I do know that outside of the movie his actor in real life he was working on modeling and such.

As for the movie... no real explanation... Algo pointed out that the W lockseed was already there from the beginning... Then a long time ago on the wiki I read that Philp was killed by the Showa riders which is to why Shotaro became Joker... So anything is up in the air right now.

So I caught Imagination Station’s sub of the movie. I liked this quite a a bit, yeah the plot was dumb but it was better constructed than past All Rider team ups, hell it was even better than Super Sentai VS Kamen Rider.

It was good seeing the Riders that they brought back, this movie felt like one big family reunion and I liked that Decade basically played Nick Fury’s role, it felt fitting considering that his series is about traveling to different worlds and honestly? I know Decade has it’s decorators, but I felt that Tsukasa is far more likable in this film than he has been in the past, it feels like I’m finally beginning to get a grasp of whom the guy really is. I’m also impressed by Hiroshi Fujioka for a guy that must be in his late 80s, he looks like someone that could easily kick my ass, the dude’s still got it.

I have a few nitpicks though:

-I don’t get Rider 1s plan was at all. If he wanted to gather up all the Riders to take down Badam why not just do exactly that? I really hated how much the Showa Riders comes off as stuck up, elitist assholes in this.

-This movie is actually a bit too action oriented, there really wasn’t much room for downtime. I loved the scene with Takumi and Jin interacting, because when they finally did fight each other it felt more bittersweet.

-This film started to fall apart towards the end, the ToQgers weren’t needed at all and it was a shame that they were just thrown in there given how well Kouta interacted with Right in the Spring Break team up, Daigo’s appearance was also pretty random too. They feel pretty shoehorned and it just stinks of corporate meddling.

-Speaking of not needed, the Gaim cast was another part of this movie I didn’t like...which is a bit strange to say considering that I love Gaim but much like the ToQgers...the Armored Riders weren’t really needed in this. Although, Kaito failing to catch a turtle was pretty good.

I did like a few scenes though, specifically the one in the beginning because it really did feel like all out war. I really liked watching the Gaim VS Jumbo J fight because of how much it reminded me of Attack on Titan. Fifteen was pretty bad ass too, even if he did feel pretty overpowered. Also it kinda feels like Wizard should've had a bigger role in this film, given how much screen time he gets nearing the end...

The number one gripe I have about this film is that... Tsusaka didn't even interact with Haruto. They were able to bring his actor in and out of suit... But he was only there when he got blocked by Faiz. I would've love to see how Tsusaka could convince Haruto to join up with the Heisei riders.
