Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive: Super Movie Wars Genesis (仮面ライダー×仮面ライダー ゴースト＆ドライブ 超MOVIE大戦ジェネシス, Kamen Raidā × Kamen Raidā Gōsuto ando Doraibu Chō Mūbī Taisen Jeneshisu) is a Japanese superhero crossover film between Kamen Rider Ghost and Kamen Rider Drive, and is the seventh Movie War. In the film, Takeru and Shinnosuke time travel to an alternate past. Kamen Rider Necrom makes an early-bird appearance ahead of his in-series debut.
The catchphrases of this film are "Leonardo da Vinci: The Great Genius of the Century VS Kamen Rider" (世紀の大天才 VS仮面ライダー, Reonarudo da Vinchi VS Kamen Raidā) and "A mystery set up 10 years ago, connects to the "Genesis" of Ghost and Drive." (10年前に仕掛けられた謎が、ゴーストとドライブの〈はじまり〉へとつながる—。, 10-nen mae ni shikake rareta nazo ga, Gōsuto to Doraibu no "jeneshisu" e to tsunagaru.)
Synopsis[]
While chasing the same Gamma, Takeru and Shinosuke are sent back 10 years into the past where Shinnosuke encounters Mr. Belt before they had originally met while Takeru finds his father, Ryu Tenkuji, before he passed away. Takeru is determined to solve the mystery of his father’s death and save him in the past, not realizing that it’s a trap created by the greatest genius of the century, revived as a Gamma, Leonardo Da Vinci! With his friend in danger, Shinnosuke will don the Drive Driver once more as Kamen Rider Zero Drive. Meanwhile, the Roidmudes have revived in the present. Kamen Riders Specter and Mach work together in a desperate attempt to stop them. As if he were Mach’s guardian spirit, Kamen Rider Chaser arrives to help.
Continuity and Placement[]
- Kamen Rider Ghost: The film takes place between episodes 8 and 9[1]. However the time travel elements as well as some present-day events such as Makoto's allegiances and Necrom's cameo take place in an alternate timeline.
- Kamen Rider Drive: The film takes place after the final episode. The events of the film would be adknowledged in Kamen Rider Heisei Generations: Dr. Pac-Man vs. Ex-Aid & Ghost with Legend Riders.
Plot[]
A Gamma Superior robs a jewelry store, and both Akari Tsukimura and Onari Yamanouchi to chase after it. Sometime after regaining his former elite status, Shinnosuke is asked to partake in an investigation involving the paranormal and is sent to interrogate both Akari and Onari, who were inexplicably at the crime scenes. Shinnosuke and Kiriko are brought to Daitenku Temple where they meet Takeru Tenkuji and the rest of the team at the Mysterious Phenomenon Institute.
Suddenly, Go enters the temple as Kamen Rider Mach and attacks Ghost, believing him to be the culprit of the paranormal crimes. After Shiranui is used to expose the Gamma attacking the Riders, it is destroyed. However the fight had created a wormhole that sent both Takeru and Shinnosuke 10 years back in time. Shinnosuke finds a prototype Drive Driver while Takeru is "recruited" by his father Ryu Tenkuji, the latter unknowing of Takeru's identity. Later as a younger Akari and Takeru are attacked by the Raffaello Ganma, Takeru and Shinnosuke transform to save them.
In the present, Rinna Sawagami is called to try to bring Shinnosuke and Takeru back. However they begin to feel the butterfly effects of the actions caused by Shinnosuke and Takeru in the past, which results in the revivals of several Roidmudes, including Heart, Brain and Medic, albeit corrupted. Makoto Fukami and Go transform to fight against a revived Chase as well as the new Da Vinci Gamma. Though Jun Honganji had temporarily joined the battle but died in the process, he had met Edith who revived him afterwards. Makoto then receives a call from Takeru 10 years in the past, who asks Akari to retrace her kidnapping that had happened 10 years ago.
With both timelines now connected, Takeru places two Eyecons in a box and place in an intact location that the team from 2015 dig up. The box also included an engagement ring from Shinnosuke to Kiriko, who says yes without hesitation. Although the team had the new Eyecons, they prove fruitless as they have no effect on their enemies. However, they mysteriously disintegrate.
In 2005, Takeru and Shinnosuke alongside Ryu find the captive Akari and fight the Da Vinci Gamma. Although they defeat him, Da Vinci does not die and disappears. Ryu, however did not survive, and Takeru briefly mourns for his father. In 2015, the team manage to open a wormhole, allowing Takeru and Shinnosuke to return to the present. However, they encounter Da Vinci with a giant Gamma army, who had been waiting over 10 years for a rematch. As Takeru becomes overwhelmed into an helpless situation, his feelings for his father tranforms into the Toucon Boost Damashii, allowing him to access a new form and defeat the Renaissance Gamma once and for all, restoring the world.
First appearance of Kamen Rider Necrom.
Takeru promises his father's spirit to not give up and keep watching over him. Unbeknownst to the Kamen Riders, Necrom calmly watches the situation on a top of a cliff, before taking his leave. The film ends with Shinnosuke and Kiriko's wedding, with Takeru and his friends in attendance. Shinnosuke entrusts Takeru with taking care of the Ganma, with Takeru accepting asking Shinnosuke to continue catching the human evil that exists in the world. Shinnosuke agrees, and the two riders shake hands.

Music[]

Errors[]
- When Shinnosuke finds Mr. Belt in 2005, he doesn't have the Shift Brace or Shift Car Holder. However, he somehow has it on in the next scene.
- Similarly, when Takeru and Shinnosuke was sent back to the future, Mr. Belt and the Shift Brace disappeared without explanation.
- After Takeru & Shinnosuke defeated the Raffaello Gamma, the Ghost Driver on Takeru's waist keeps appearing and and disappearing between shots, where it appears on Takeru's back but not in the front.
- When Ghost summoned the Musashi Damashii, the driver played the musical jingle then spoke the transformation announcement, when usually it occurs the other way round.
- When Drive used Tire Koukan, two errors happened:
- When Drive accesses Rumble Dump, instead of changing into Type Speed Dump, he immediately changes into Type Wild Dump without changing into Type Wild first.
- When Drive accesses Mantarn 01, he immediately changes into Type Formula Mantarn before using Shift Formula first.
- During the combination of Musashi-Benkei Ghost Eyecon alongside Ryu Tenkuuji's soul into Toucon Boost, Edison Ghost Eyecon didn't join the fray despite it belonging to Takeru.
- This is possibly because the Edison Ghost Eyecon was still in Makoto's possession. However, Makoto is already being allied to Takeru in this movie, which conflicts with the Ghost Eyecon possession, as at the same time Makoto becomes Takeru's ally, Edison is returned to Takeru. Furthermore, by the end of the episode where that happened, Takeru gained the Goemon Ghost Eyecon, yet it wasn't seen in this movie alongside Musashi & the others.
- Gen was able to cause some harm to a few Gamma by using bullets, despite the fact that during the end of the Kamen Rider Drive series, bullets are shown to not harm them in any way.
- However, the Gamma that appeared in Drive's finale was a Gamma Assault, while Genpachiro in this film was fighting Gamma Commandos, hence there may have been a difference.
- When Makoto pressed the Specter Ghost Eyecon before transforming in the final battle, the Eyecon does not make a confirmation sound unlike when Takeru presses the Ore Ghost Eyecon before transforming.
- When assuming Type Wild Dump, Drive wields the Rumble Smasher on his right arm instead of his left arm.
- When Ghost Toucon Boost Damashii uses the Sunglasseslasher with Ore and Musashi Eyecons, it announces "Tousandaikaigan!", although the Toucon Boost Eyecon is not inserted.
- Also, the Eyecons are in their Transformation Times instead of their Startup Times.
- Also, the Sunglasseslasher's "Daikaigan" sound is from the Eyecon Driver G belt.
- Also, the Eyecons are in different spots when the Ore Ghost Eyecon should be where the Musashi Ghost Eyecon is and vice versa.
Notes[]
- Breaking tradition, the film features a full-length cohesive story between both Riders instead of just having their own installment and teaming up in the climax. As such, no post-episode closing screens are featured in the film.
- It is also the last Movie War film with the Kamen Rider Drive series.
- In the closure after episode 8's preview, a small preview for the Movie War is shown where Go's shirt is censored and blurred out. This does not occur in the final cut of the film.
- This is the first Movie War film to not feature any elements of Kamen Rider W.
- Rio Uchida (Kiriko Shijima) and Taira Imata (Genpachiro Otta) celebrated their 24th and 40th birthdays respectively while filming for this movie. [2]
- Takeru's interaction with his father in the past would somewhat change the circumstances in which Ryu died. In the original timeline, Ryu was killed outside by Adel, which was a result of a time anomaly in the novel.
- The Toucon Boost Ghost Eyecon in this movie has slightly different sound than in the series and the toy version, announcing "Tousan" instead of "Toucon" (with a different tone as well), and has a "Thank You Tousan" voice.
- At release, the film was considered non-canon to the events of Ghost, having been written by Makoto Hayashi. However with the release of the novel Novel: Kamen Rider Ghost: ~Memories of the Future~ which was written by series writer Takuro Fukuda, the film's continuity was retconned to have taken place in an alternate timeline instead due to a space-time anomaly that occured in the novel.
