Kamen Rider: Reiwa The First Generation (仮面ライダー 令和 ザ・ファースト・ジェネレーション, Kamen Raidā Reiwa Za Fāsuto Jenerēshon) is a Japanese superhero crossover film between Kamen Rider Zero-One and Kamen Rider Zi-O, and the 11th overall installment of the Movie War series of film. It is intended to be the first successor to the Heisei Generations Series, and serves as a tribute to the original Kamen Rider series. In the film, Sougo travels to the World of Zero-One to assist Aruto in fixing the damages caused by a Time Jacker, while Aruto learns of his family's history as well as his own powers.
Synopsis
12 years ago, the Daybreak Town Accident changed the world and brought forth a new prosperity towards artificial intelligence. But what if that were to all change?
Sougo Tokiwa gave up his conquest for power after he chose to reset the world and live a mundane life. However as a Time Jacker began to alter history once again, Sougo is forced to take up the mantle as Kamen Rider Zi-O once again, as he meets Aruto Hiden, the native Rider of the world he has to save.
This is the story of two Kamen Riders from two different worlds, whose fight together will ultimately determine the fate of all reality.
Continuity and Placement
- Kamen Rider Zero-One: The film is set sometime between episode 9 and episode 15, as Zero-One uses Breaking Mammoth but Horobi and Jin still inhabit their hideout in Daybreak Town. The fact that Zero-One does not use Shining Hopper makes it likely that it takes place before episode 10.
- The post-credits scene featuring Gai Amatsu as Thouser takes place sometime after Project Thouser.
- Kamen Rider Zi-O: As confirmed by producer Shinichiro Shirakura, the film is set sometime after the series finale and before Kamen Rider Zi-O NEXT TIME: Geiz, Majesty[1]. This fact is shown with Sougo, Geiz, and Tsukuyomi losing their memories right after the film.
Plot
Aruto Hiden wakes up from a dream he had of the Daybreak Town Accident. Realizing that he was late, he hurriedly rushed out of his apartment for Hiden Intelligence, spotting several types of Humagears he didn't know existed on the way. Arriving at the building, Aruto is subdued by the Humagears in the building and is shocked to discover that there was a new CEO, Will, who attacks him as Another Zero-One.
At Hikarigamori High School, Tsukuyomi poses a question to both Sougo and Geiz, asking them what they'd do should the world end. Upon reaching their classroom, they discover that all the faculty and students were robots, who were teaching themselves their revolution against humanity. After their teacher and the students deduced the trio to be humans, they move in and attack them, but Woz arrives and rescues them, later restoring their memories.
Aruto is thrown out of the building and activates his Driver, but the Rider Model mystically appears from the ground. He transforms into Zero-One to fight him, but his powers were sapped away shortly and his Driver taken. With no choice left, Aruto runs from the Humagears attacking him in public led by the Berotha Magia and Okureru as the Kuehne Magia;he was later rescued by Isamu Fuwa and Yua Yaiba and taken to the human resistance. After meeting Izu, who explained that there was a temporal disturbance in their universe, a platoon of Humagears led by Will, Horobi, and Jin began to raid the resistance base. Wanting to help fight, Soreo Hiden gives him a Forceriser, allowing him to transform into Kamen Rider Zerozero-One. In the midst of the resistance's defeat, Zi-O's team arrived and were successful in driving the Humagear force back. After explaining that the cause of this was due to Finis, a Time Jacker, Aruto goes back to 2007, 12 years in the past with Zi-O's team.
At the HidenExpo 2007 conference, Korenosuke Hiden presented the Humagears to the audience. In his office, his secretary Will expressed a desire to also be happy from taking over human labor. Disregarding this as an error, Korenosuke laughs it off. Arriving in 2007, Aruto and the Zi-O team reach the development factory and fight the Humagears that were terrorizing the workers. Aruto confronts Kamen Rider Ichi-Gata, whom he recognized as his father at the time. Soreo revealed he was doing this in order to bring happiness to Humagears, and was seemingly willing to bring down humanity to do so. He revealed that he was working on the Ark Satellite, which caused the events to happen in the present day.
Chronologically, Finis arrives and presents Will with the Another Zero-One Watch, in which she explains that in the future, the revolution was stopped. Somewhere nearby, the Zi-O team encounter Finis, who wants to take all of the Kamen Rider powers for herself to prevent the rise of Ohma Zi-O. By corrupting the powers she took from Sougo, she transforms into Another 1, and Sougo transforms into Zi-O Trinity. Later, Sougo and Geiz fight the Another Rider using their Time Mazines. Geiz throws his Time Mazine into the Another Rider, but becomes damaged and is forced to abandon it.
Now armed with the powers of Another Zero-One, Will attacks Soreo, who also revealed that he was planning on destroying the satellite so that humanity doesn't fall. Both Aruto and Soreo transform to fight Will, but he takes them both down and stops Soreo's bomb. Satellite Ark then launches into space, activating its control over all the Humagears on Earth. Will returns to Hiden Intelligence and kills Korenosuke while Soreo, now controlled by the Ark, attacks Aruto. Another 1 arrives in their area, and Geiz saves Aruto, telling him that there's nothing else they can do in that time period. Sougo picks them up and they return to 2019.
Returing to the resistance base, the resistance tell Aruto that Izu gave herself up to stop the attack and was taken by Will. Aruto heads over to the conference center and exclaims his dream of a coexistence between human and Humagear. After Soreo reveals himself in the audience, Shesta announces that an emergency vote will occur at this point, for as to whenever Aruto should become president. As Soreo held the majority of the stocks at the company, his vote is absolute. In the end, he voted no, and the Ark corrupted every single HumaGear in the audience, in which Will sends to attack Aruto. In the lobby, the resistance as well as Zi-O's team arrive to help fight the Humagears. Aruto faces his father and announces his intent to defeat his father and regain his powers. Elsewhere, Horobi and Jin fight Geiz, Tsukuyomi, and Woz, and Isamu and Yua fight a group of Humagears outside, later taking out Another Zero-One themselves.
Sougo confronts Finis, who had used Geiz's Time Mazine to come from the past. They both transform into Zi-O II and Another 1 respectively and fight. Aruto continues his fight with this father, who ultimately let his son defeat him, later revealing he was faking his evil nature this whole time, to ensure that Aruto was serious about having both human and Humagear coexist. With his death and "yes" vote, Aruto becomes president and receives the Zero-One Driver.
Another 1 absorbs Geiz's Time Mazine and becomes Another New 1. The Zea satellite is launched, and Aruto transforms into Zero-One to help Zi-O fight Another 1. Zero-One attacks her with Rocking Kaban Dynamic, and they attack her with other Progrisekeys and GrandZi-O. They finally finish her with their combined 'Rising Impact Time Break'. Everything returns to normal. Daybreak Town, Soreo, and Ark meet their original fates once again.
Later, Aruto and Team Zi-O meet again. Woz tells Aruto that everything has turned back to normal and only him and Izu will remember the events due to being connected to each other through Satellite Zea. Before leaving, Sougo says that he must erase Aruto's memories as well in order to return everything to normal. Aruto resists and both of them transform and engage into a friendly duel.
Mid-Credits Scenes
Everything returns to normal. Jin and Horobi, back in their base, wonder for how long would humanity continue to rule over the Earth. Jun immediately calls Shesta and Sanzo and requests them to create a Rider System for him while he practices his pose. Fuwa tells Yua about a dream in which he was turned into a Humagear. He asks Yua to destroy him if such a thing happens in reality. Yua asks him about his actions if she is turned into one, and Fuwa ensures her that he will crush her.
Sougo, Geiz and Tsukuyomi return to their High School. Sougo teases Geiz because the latter slept during the class, but Geiz disagrees. Tsukuyomi comments that the truth is written on Geiz's face, which reminds Sougo of Zi-O's visor, but he doesn't tell them about it.
Aruto misses Soreo while staring at the Humagear body in his office. When Izu arrives, he asks her to change the design of his business cards and explains it, but Izu remembers Aruto's recent journey through timeline.
Post-Credit Scene
On the boundary of the Daybreak Town stands a golden Kamen Rider under the moonlight. He claims that his schemes are going exactly as he planned, or instead at 1000% rate.

- This is the first Movie War of the Reiwa Era.
- This is also the first Movie War to serve as a crossover between two series from different eras.
- This is the first Movie War since Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive: Super Movie War Genesis to feature a movie-exclusive Rider and not to feature Legend Riders, and the first since then to be written by only one writer with no other writers involved.
- This is the first Movie War to feature two female Riders from their different eras.
- The existence of a human resistance forces fighting against Another Zero-One and the Humagears lead by Will, due to the timeline changes caused by Time Jacker Finis, is similar to the group of humans fighting against enemy machines called Humanoise in the future shown in the year 2121 (Kamen Rider Kikai's era), in which was subconsciously created from Sougo Tokiwa's increasing potential as Zi-O.
- It also resembles the alternate reality of Kamen Rider 555: Paradise Lost, with a world primarily ruled by an enemy faction with one member of said enemy faction’s species (Yuji Kiba/Izu) aiding the resistance, much to the reluctance of some people (Masato Kusaka/Isamu Fuwa).
- The fact that this is a callback to any apocalyptic future is referenced by Tsukuyomi and Geiz in the film, where they called it an act of deja vu.
- Horobi and Will are the only known old generations of the Humagear to have their module (or possibly their own body) to be upgraded into the new generation in the movie.
- Despite Another Riders can only be defeated by the same Legend Rider power they possess, in this film, Vulcan and Valkyrie are able to destroy Another Zero-One.
- This may suggest that secondary Riders are able to destroy Another Riders based on the primary Rider.
- However, there are also instances in Kamen Rider Zi-O where an Another Rider can be defeated by other powers, but their Anotherwatch will still be intact. In the latter case, Vulcan and Valkyrie's attack may simply have been powerful to destroy Will's body
Ohma Zi-O transformation effect in the background
- In the end, Zi-O's transformation effect is modified to resemble to Ohma Zi-O. This is likely a result of Sougo using the time manipulation ability of Ohma Zi-O in order to erase Aruto's memories.
- This movie marks the second time GrandZi-O summons all 19 Heisei Main Riders since Zi-O episode 43, as well as the first time GrandZi-O has summoned Ryuki, Blade, Kabuto, Kiva and Decade.
- Certain scenes in the film has foreshadowed events that would eventually happen in Zero-One's future episodes:
- Resistance against Hiden as the fact that Aruto and Isamu will face against Hiden Company as it has been taken over by Gai, starting on the third arc.
- Another Zero-One able to summon a swarm of grasshoppers, mirroring Metalcluster Hopper's ability during its first episode debut.
- Izu announced herself for wishing to be with Aruto during her execution, mirroring the first episode of the third arc where Izu initially chose to return to Hiden but finally deciding to side with Aruto for his guts to keep on doing what is the best for Humagear and humanity.
- Isamu and Yua discussed about killing each other one day shall they become a Humagear is mirroring the climax episodes of the second arc and the early episodes of the third arc where Isamu faced Yua for choosing the evil side and Yua became a monster of the series and human becoming the evil Humagear is referring to the Raider.
- Will's concern of the Humagear's future has foreshadow on Jin after his resurrection and Jin explains himself about thinking the future of the Humagear on the third arc.
- This is the first time Zi-O changes into GrandZi-O while retaining its Rider form.
- Interestingly, the transformation effect removed the Zi-O statue from the line-up.
