Notes[]
- Adapted from: Chapters 47-55
- The official website has the film listed alternatively as Fuuto PI: The Movie (劇場版 風都探偵, Gekijō-ban Fūto Tantei).
- The film's title is directly derived from the name of the arc that this film adapts from the manga, Portrait of s (sの肖像, Esu no Shōzō), though the film's title directly refers to Kamen Rider Skull instead of S.
- The film is an animated retelling of the "Begins Night" event from the live-action TV show and is the first standalone adaptation of said arc, as previous depictions occurred in film crossovers with Riders from other series.
- Koji Kikkawa, who portrayed Sokichi Narumi in the live-action Kamen Rider W metaseries, is involved in the film as the singer of the film's theme song, "Niau Otoko ni Nare".
- Toei has categorized both this film and Kamen Rider Gotchard: Graduations as Winter Movies.[7]
Manga Differences[]
- Both Melissa and the Spider Dopant, who previously appeared in Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider OOO & W Featuring Skull: Movie War Core, appear in the film in anime-only scenes.
