The film also features supporting roles from OOO as well as the special appearances of several heroes from Shotaro Ishinomori's earlier works, while Kamen Rider Beast makes an early-bird appearance in the film ahead of his in-series debut.

The catchphrase for this film is "The opening of the ultimate showtime! Wizard, a promise for the future. Fourze, a promise for five years ago. In order to fulfill this 'promise', they head to the battlefield." (究極のショータイム、開幕!ウィザード、未来への約束。フォーゼ、5年前の約束。その「約束」を果たすため、いざ決戦の地へ―。, Kyūkyoku no shōtaimu, kaimaku! Wizādo, mirai e no yakusoku.

Plot

Note: The following information here is mixed with the director's cut version of the film.

Beginning

The movie begins with Medusa and Phoenix at an Infinite Monster Plant while wondering what the Akumaizers were trying do with the Gates that were captured and bound to a machine as Atlar Zodiarts, Jewel Dopant, Siamneko Yummy, Dustards, Kuzu Yummy and Masquerade Dopants produced from it and went out. Soon, the Akumaizers entering their base while defeating the Ghouls with their Jankels. The Akumaizers introduce themselves and revealed that it was all part of their plan to execute their vengeance towards humans for sending them underground with Phoenix starts to develop an interest for them. But however, Medusa revealed that their plan is a bit slow though Gahra revealed that they will use the Zeber much to Eel's dismay since he had revealed the plans. Eel receive a briefcase from Xatan and teleports away five years in the future. Medusa also reveals that they destination here were actually an order from Wiseman as he takes an interest to them.

Fourze

Five years later at a country in South America where a group of smugglers recently abduct Ryusei. He was sent to arrest them for selling psychic soldiers to criminal groups. The soldiers' boss reveals that he's working with Kageto Banba, who has a Zodiarts Switch. Ryusei quickly escapes and knocking out some of the man's henchmens. Four of them use psychic powers to burn Ryusei. He realize that they were using pyrokinesis revealing that they are psychic soldiers. Inga arrives and fires the henchmens with Ryusei use his Jeet Kun Do attack to knocking out every single one of them and transforms into Kamen Rider Meteor. Ryusei picks up a sticker on them revealing Zodiarts were also involved in this case.

At the Amanogawa High School, Haruka was greeted by Mr. Ohsugi, who congratulates her for the 5th year anniversary of her Kickboxing Club. Haruka wonders what happened to the Kamen Rider Club with Ohsugi replies that now it has only one member and that the person now becomes it's advisor. While Gentaro trying to fix his hairstyle, Miyoko suddenly fell from her bike with Gentaro jumps from the window and grabs her in the nick of time. Miyoko thanked him for saving her with all of the students amazed at their teacher's action. Saburo silently watches him. Mr. Satake (now a principal) commended Gentaro while advising that his personality makes him a good teacher than a real teacher much to Gentaro's puzzles.

At the classroom, Gentaro and Miyoko brought a television which records his old friend, Yuki during her time at a space station. Yuki reveals that she was actually trying to contact the Presenters while announcing him that she will brought a friend but she'll kept it's identity a secret until she gets back in three days. Saburo disturbs the class with his prediction where Yuki would died on her way back to Earth and later uses his psychic powers and disturbs the class while declaring himself as the Leader of the Monster League along with his subordinates and leave the classroom.

Gentaro later seeks help from Mr. Ohsugi and Ms. Haruka to catch the misbehaving students as he chases after Saburo. After outsmarting Ohsugi, Rumi flees as Haruka unable to use her kickboxing ability on Daita's fat body and use his sonic scream along with Nezu to throw her away. After chasing through neighborhood houses, Saburo later transforms into Sanagiman and fights Gentaro who has transformed into Fourze. Though Fourze finally overpowers Saburo with Firestates, Kageto Banba interrupts and give Sanagiman his Zeber which amplify his sonic powers. Though the Zeber was actually incomplete, but it amuse him enough as Kageto strikes Fourze with his Kanabo as Hercules Zodiarts.

Meteor finally arrives and rescues Gentaro while saying that they must re-mobilize the previous members of the club in order to fight Kageto. Gentaro meets up with Miu who is now a fashion model, Shun who is an international football star and JK who is now a journalist while Ryusei finds Tomoko who is a successful author. Finally Gentaro meets Kengo at as science lab where he is trying to understand Cosmic Energy so he can get to meet the Presenters. They both discuss their attempts to further the dreams of Kengo's father and Gamou, and Kengo brings up how being a teacher seems to suit Gentaro who notes that he was shown the way thanks to a photo of him and his class. Kengo notes that, despite the fact the photo should be recent, it actually looks old.

At Kageto's base, the Monster League describes to the Psychic Neo-Humans use their sonic powers to complete the Zeber so that they can rule the Earth by destroying all of the space pods that were trying to return to Earth so humans would not developing in space exploration. Kageto went to his lab and had a conversation with Eel about trading his Zeber for a briefcase of cash.

At the Amanogawa High School, Ryusei reveals the information of Kageto Banba to the others. Banba was actually Gamou's companion but he shifted to studying psychic powers. JK reveals that he also heard about the rumors of psychic powers where Kageto stationed at a base called The Village which had recently selling psychic soldiers to many terrorist organizations. Yuki (via Astroswitch Case) tells that she will be okay and no matter what happen, she will return to Earth. Miyoko was ordered to stay behind under Gentaro's orders.

Back to The Village, the Zeber has completed and Kageto informs that it's time to destroy the space pods. Kageto gives the Monster League members a sticker each one in order to stay connected to the Zeber. Gentaro and the Space Kamen Rider Club stop them as the Burgermeal reveals a video where a Neo-Human was abducted with Kageto demonstrate that the sticker allows them to control Neo-Humans so that they will do their nefarious bidding. Inga appears on the video while revealing that the Neo-Humans had been tricked all along so that they would be sold as psychic soldiers for black marketing to all criminal organizations. Realized that his plan had been foiled, Kageto transforms into Hercules Zodiart while summoning his Dustards to attack the Monster League and the Space Kamen Rider Club members as Gentaro and Ryusei transforms.

While fighting, the Space Kamen Rider and the Monster League united and withstand the Dustards. Saburo as Sanagiman appears in front of Fourze and attacks him. As he about to use the Zeber, Miyoko appears and hit his hand with a rod and takes the Zeber while proving that she also wants to fight due to her desire of protecting Yuki and swears not to let Saburo (addressed as a monster by Miyoko) destroy her dreams. Shocked of her words, Sanagiman reveals that this is how he was treated as a child. After the discovery of his newfound power, everyone is terrified by him even his parents making him grew as a gruesome person. Miyoko suddenly apologize to Saburo, knowing that she had never understood Saburo's feeling at all. As Saburo about to attack her, Hercules burst in and abducts Miyoko. Gentaro, in a last-ditch attempt to reach Saburo and after apologising to an understanding Kengo, untransforms and throws the Fourze Driver into a furnace, destroying it. Knowing that he can no longer transform into a Kamen Rider, Gentaro finally begins to make Sanagiman understand.

Hercules defeats Meteor and throws Miyoko away while placing the Zeber on the laser beam tower. Saburo appears and transforms in Inazuman and easily defeated the menace once and for all. Hercules untransforms into Kageto with Ryusei destroy the switch and quickly handcuffs him. Inazuman reverts back to his human form with Miyoko covering her eyes as Gentaro and Kengo realized that Saburo is naked and uses the Space Kamen Rider Club flag to cover him. Gentaro and everyone witness that an space pod is entering the Earth as Kengo identifies it as Yuki's. But however, Eel interferes, testing the Zeber’s power by destroys the escape pod with Kageto's laser beam tower. As everyone watches in horror, however Kamen Rider Nadeshiko appears, revealing that she was brought to Earth by Yuki and rescued her from the space pod's destruction. Nadeshiko later uses her Nadeshiko Rocket Kick and destroys the laser beam tower. She reveals that she had met XVII once and rode on a meteorite to the Milky Way in order to go to Earth. Eel tries to escape by creating a portal which brought him back five years into the past as Gentaro, Ryusei and Nadeshiko follows him as Kengo throws along with a Nuggesto Tsunugget. Before confronting the Akumaizers, Gentaro bumps into his past self (while the photo of his class of students is unknowingly thrown out) and asks him to lend him the Fourze Driver.

Wizard

Back to the scene where the Infinite Monster Plant is, Haruto watches the Monster Army as he sits on the Machine Winger while eating his doughnut. Haruto’s friend quickly follows him as he tossed the bag of doughnut to Shunpei. Rinko already knows that this is the location where the kidnapped Gates detected via her investigations with Koyomi realized that none of the monsters are Phantoms. Haruto transforms into Kamen Rider Wizard and battles while using all of his forms and finishes the remaining army.

Back at the Infinite Monster Plant, Eel emerges from the portal while bringing the Zeber to Xatan. The Nuggesto Tsunugget from earlier hides under a rubble while recording the Akumaizer’s work. As Wizard and his friends entered the base, Shunpei mistaken the Akumaizers for Phantoms as Medusa explaining about them and Phoenix reveals that they were the demons who were arise from under the Earth. Xatan invites Wizard to join his team explaining that the humans had been rejecting wizards and demons for being grotesque. As Wizard not under standing anything at all, the Akumaizers take out their Jankels and triple-teamed the hero and finishes him with their signature formation: Akumajin Attack. The Akumaizers entrusts the Phantoms to take care of them while entering the Gates’ Underworld. Medusa explains that to stop them, they must get into the Underworld as they also share a disliking towards them and leaves. Wizard puts on the Engage Ring on one of the Gates and enters the Underworld. After witnessing the Lionkurage Yummy appears, Shunpei pushed Rinko, as they also enter the Underworld. However, as the portal closes, Koyomi was left behind with the Yummy.

Haruto awaken by Koyomi in the Okagedomo Antique Shop and notice something strange happening to her and Wajima, which they say it is Poitrine's birthday. As he wondering who is Poitrine, he witness a group of children surrounded by Ghouls via Koyomi’s crystal ball. Haruto mounts the Machine Winger and transforms into Kamen Rider Wizard. The scene moves to Rinko, who awakes at a sofa of the Torizaka Police Station which her chief waking her up. She apologizes but her chief happily replies that today is Poitrine’s birthday leaving her puzzled. Shunpei awakes at the Donut Shop Hungry truck where he is served a plate of donuts by Ryo, the worker of the restaurant itself. Shunpei said that he didn’t order yet any donut but the worker replies that it is free during the birthday celebration for the same foretold mystery woman. After eating a lot of donuts, he bumped into Rinko, who at the same time wondering what was happened. After witnessing Wizard riding his motorcycle, they suspected that a Phantom might acting out as the follows him. As the Ghouls led by Cockroach Dopant and Pyxis Zodiarts approaching the kids, Wizard arrives where they are and let Rinko and Shunpei getting the children away. However before they can escape, they notice that people are acting like zombies, which they are wondering what happen. Wizard fight some of the Ghouls, until a young lady named Yu Kamimura arrived and morphs into Poitrine. After she transform, the people started to cheer for Poitrine and the monsters started to attack which made Wizard curious. After the fight, Wizard notice the Pyxis Zodiarts and Cockroach Dopant are escaping, but Poitrine stop him and tell Wizard that they will disappear, which they did. Suprisingly, she also knows the true identity of Wizard as she only replies that she is a magician after being asked by Haruto. Remembering that his friends preparing for her birthday party at the Okagedomo, Haruto takes Yu to the shop which they celebrate her birthday, until Haruto started to faints.

As he wakes up, Haruto notice that the next day is also Poitrine's birthday, which he realizes that this is the Gates' Underworld. After realizing that, Haruto decided to look for Shunpei and Rinko to see if it is really them. Haruto found them being attack by the worker and chief, so he uses the Sleep Ring on them. They decide to wonder about the Underworld which made Haruto thinks that it is a special one. As Haruto knowing that the day is repeated, he knew that the monsters are attacking the children. He arrive where the monsters are as Wizard Hurricane Style as they manage get the children to safety. Wizard finishes off the monsters before Yu arrive, however people started booing at Wizard and after the monsters are defeated, they started to act like zombies again and leaves. After the monsters are defeated, Yu appeared and tell Haruto that people are waiting for Poitrine. Haruto replies that it was her whose actually waiting for them instead. He wants her to go back to reality, but she thinks that reality is boring.

The children revealed that some time ago, they and Yu Kamimura had trapped by the Akumaizers. They convince Yu to willingly take part in their Infinite Monster Plant plan by telling her that in her Underworld, she can be whatever she wants as Xatan tells her that it would be better than her boring life as an office lady. But, still disagrees with their nefarious plans, Xatan cast a spell on her, causing Yu to be brainwashed into liking her new life and in her Underworld is immersed in a repeating fantasy where every day is her birthday and she's the beloved magical heroine Poitrine. In return, the Akumaizers use their machine to pull the monsters Poitrine fights into the real world for their Monster Army.

Gahra appears as he tell Yu that she can do anything in the Underworld, which she decide to make Haruto into her puppet. Haruto tries to stop her, however Yu teleports him to a wedding. As Haruto trying to get her to return to reality, Rinko and Shunpei arrive, along with the children where they are. The children trying to get Yu back into her normal self. Haruto tells her that there is someone that needed her whose not a puppet, which she manage to get herself free from the magic that Akumaizer use. After freeing herself, they return back to the city, which made Gahra wondering why the magic didn't work. Haruto and Yu transforms and fight Gahra. After Gahra is defeated, he morphs into a monstrous bald herring bird called Gahratcho. Wizard summon Wizardragon and finishes the Gahratcho with the Strike End Rider Kick. After the fight, Potirine thank Wizard as they are about to return to reality. However, Xatan and Eel appear taking Poitrine away from Wizard, which he have to save.

Title card.

Back in the main world, as Koyomi is about to be attacked by Lionkurage Yummy, Kamen Riders Fourze, Meteor, and Nadeshiko appears and take the Yummies down along with the Ghouls with Meteor picked the Tsunugget that came along with them. Puzzled, Koyomi asks who they are as Fourze replies that they are Wizard’s friends. Meanwhile, Wiseman reveals to Phoenix and Medusa that when the Akumaizers throw the fully charged Zeber into the Ocean of Magic beneath the Underworld, the outside world will be overflown with enough magic energy to kill all humans. Upon learning the situation from Koyomi, Fourze produces a Fourze Engage Ring (much to Koyomi's confusion since there's no way he should have a Magic Ring) on Yu’s hand and making it press the Cosmic Switch button, causing a portal to the Underworld to appear. The three riders jump into it.

As Wizard exhausted, Fourze and his friends appears, taking out the remnants of the army. Gentaro rescues Haruto as a reward from his earlier assistance, but Haruto claims to not know him. However, the Akumaizers send a larger force to deal with the Kamen Riders as they escape with Poitrine and the Zeber. As Koyomi is about to be attacked by Ghouls that have emerged from the machine she is saved by Eiji Hino, who was called by Gentaro earlier, replying that Riders should help each other and uses his powers to reach the children in the Underworld and grant them Magic Rings which they use to summon Kamen Riders OOO, Birth, Double, and Accel into action. With Eel destroyed, Wizard is about to destroy Xatan but instead, it kills Gahra, who sacrifice himself to save his comrade. At the outside, the summoned Riders along with Nadeshiko and Meteor performs the Rider Kick to destroy the armored car causing it to be crashed on the lava. Everyone relieves that the battle is over as the summoned Riders vanished.

However, Xatan jumped out of the molten lava while retrieving back the Zeber from Fourze and the armored car transform into Zaiderbeck. As Fourze changes into Meteor Nadeshiko Fusionstates, Poitrine uses the last of her magic to create a ring for Wizard which changes him into Special Rush. As the Riders change into their new form, they started to attack the Zaiderbeck before it land on the Ocean of Magic. After the Zaiderbeck is damaged, Wizard and Fourze use their Rider Kicks to destroy Xatan and the Zeber. After the battle is over, they return to reality.

Gentaro ask Haruto to return the Fourze Driver to his past self as he use the Time Ring to return Gentaro and his friends to their time. The children wakes up having no memory in the the Underworld, however Yu wakes up and still remembering the events. As she remove the mask, it reveals that the manager is Yu Kamimura. Haruto is horrified as he tells him that they already met before and simultaneously shocked and dismayed by this turn of events, apparently having been attracted to Yu during their time together with Yu starting to chase him due to their previous promises.

Back to 5 years later, Nadeshiko leaves the Earth as XVII brought her along. Gentaro learns from Saburo that he and his friends will rename their team as Shonen League dedicating themselves to fight those who abuse their psychic powers and the Kamen Rider Club along with Miyoko lends him their support. The former members of the club also watches them happily as they sadly accept that the Fourze Driver is destroyed. Kengo and Yuki assure their friends feel that Gentaro and the Fourze Driver are connected and that it would return if needed, as Gentaro and his students take the photograph that was left behind. While the past Gentaro picks up the class picture that was left behind, he is approached by Haruto who returns his Fourze Driver. Gentaro is confused, not knowing who Haruto is as he is given a friendship handshake. Haruto then gives him the Fourze Engage Ring his future self used previously, claiming that he will eventually need it before promising to see him in five years.

Music

On November 16th, Amazon Japan started listing the single release of the theme song for Movie War Ultimatum

The movie's theme was revealed to be entitled “Forest of Rocks”, by Demon Kakka, who also voiced Xatan, one of the Akumaizers. "Forest of Rocks" is somewhat an English translation of the surname of Shotaro Ishinomori, who created Kamen Rider and other tokusatsu heroes. This fits in with the tributes to Ishinomori classics first seen in Kamen Rider Fourze The Movie: Everyone! Let's Feel the Universe!, which featured tributes to Uchuu Tetsujin KyodainIcon-crosswiki and Daitetsujin 17Icon-crosswiki, while in Movie War Ultimatum features the Akumaizer 3, Poitrine and Inazuman.

Demon Kakka's “Forest of Rocks” was released on December 12th, 2012, in both CD+DVD and CD-only editions, for 1890 yen and 1260 yen, respectively. [15]

After the movie's release, the official website for Movie War film series began streaming the dance version of “Forest of Rocks”, featuring the choreography of Kaba-chan, and performance of the Kamen Rider GIRLS. [16] A short version of "Forest of Rocks" began streaming on the Avexnetwork YouTube Channel shortly after. [17]

Marketing

A promo trailer was released on September 30, featuring scenes from the film.[18] On October 6th, the official website for Movie War began streaming the full length trailer of the film. [19] In October, television promos were shown, featuring scenes with Poitrine and Sannagiman. In November, a full promotional trailer was released, featuring new scenes involving the six Kamen Riders Wizard, Fourze, Meteor, OOO, Birth, and Double, along with the villain Akumaizer 3.[20][21] [22] From Wizard episodes 12 to 18, the opening sequence featured film footage, while a later promo previewed the film's theme song “Forest of Rocks” by Demon Kakka. [23]

Errors

  • It is questionable why there was a still active furnace where the psychic people held the meeting considering the fact that the place looked abandoned. Furthermore, the Fourze Driver was destroyed instantly in it despite it withstanding worse (mainly atmospheric re-entry) from the Zodiarts and their attacks.
  • At the beginning of the final battle, there are a few shots where Gentaro's shirt comes untucked from his suit pants, only for it to be tucked in again in the next shot. This also happens to Haruto as well.
  • In the Director's Cut, when OOO scans the Medajaribur, the OOO Scanner doesn't say "Triple Scanning Charge", which is similar to when OOO first appeared in Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate.
  • Also in the Director's Cut, Double transforms from HeatTrigger into FangJoker during the final battle. However, this is impossible for two reasons.
    • It is made clear in Kamen Rider W that the Fang Memory only appears to Philip when he is in trouble, and that Philip must be the one acting as the body of Double in order to use FangJoker. But, given the amount of fighting that occurs and the voice of the Rider during the fight, it is almost assuredly Shotaro fighting as Double, which means he should not have access to the FangJoker form.
    • FangJoker can only be used as the only transformation in a battle. As mentioned above, the person acting as the body must be Phillip, who cannot use other forms, as the other forms use his soul instead. As a result, Double is never able to transforms from FangJoker directly into another form, nor does Double ever able to transform from another form directly into FangJoker.

Notes

  • This film features appearances of Inzauman, Akumaizer and Magical Girl Poitrine, are respectively homages to the characters created by Shotaro Ishinomori.
  • A teaser for Super Hero Taisen ZIcon-crosswiki was shown at the end of this movie's screening, featuring Space Sheriff Gavan Type GIcon-crosswiki and the line "I can't forgive Gavan!". Also featured are the Space Ironmen Kyodain from Kamen Rider Fourze The Movie: Everyone! Let's Feel the Universe!, suggesting an emphasis on space heroes.
  • This film is the only instance in which Nadeshiko Misaki (SOLU) and Ryusei Sakuta meet, despite the real Nadeshiko Misaki also from Subaruboshi High School like Ryusei.
  • During the scene in which Gentaro, Ryusei and Nadeshiko first arrive in the past, Yuki mentions to Kengo their trip to the Amazon referencing the events of Kamen Rider Fourze Hyper Battle DVD: Rocket Drill States of Friendship.
  • The two people that Yu Kamimura mentioned, Mitz Mangrove and Matsuko Deluxe, are actually Japanese transgender celebrities, who crossdress both for their comedy acts and as part of their lifestyle.
  • When Gentaro reunites with Haruto, he introduces himself as "a Kamen Rider whom you saved". This referenced the events of Kamen Rider Fourze the Movie: Everyone, It's Space Time! and marks the second time that Wizard has called himself a Kamen Rider.
  • The running gag in which Gentaro is unable to properly speak English is referenced in this film through his inability to pronounce "Poitrine", and Haruto had to correct him. A similar exchange that occurred in Kamen Rider Fourze the Movie: Everyone, It's Space Time! when Gentaro could not pronounce "Wizard".
  • A scene where Wizard Hurricane Dragon and Fourze Elekstates fought against the remnants of the army was unused for both the standard and Director's cut versions. However the scene appears at the back of the DVD cover.
  • Fourze's Meteor Nadeshiko Fusionstates is seen here, though much more powerful, echoes his Rocketstates from his first Movie War, as both forms were created from Nadeshiko's power and sported a Rocket Module on both of Fourze's arms.
  • Both Gentaro's Engage Ring and old photograph are the center of a temporal paradox. "Future" Gentaro is implied to have had said items for a long time; during the events of the movie, he drops the photograph which is picked up by "Past" Gentaro. At the end of the film, "Future" Gentaro has Haruto give his Engage Ring to the "Past" Gentaro along with the Fourze Driver that "Future" Gentaro borrowed. The ring and the photograph are never seen "entering" this loop (with the actual photograph being taken after Gentaro's return to the future), and thus simply seems to spring into existence ex nihilo.
    • However, physical photos degrade within time, meaning at some point in the loop will break and the contents of the photo will no longer be visible. To what effect that will have an effect on the timeline is currently unknown.
