Synopsis[]
The "Amazon Livestock Project," a mysterious care facility, the Amazon extermination organization 4C (Competitive Creatures Control Center) pursuing Haruka Misuzawa.... all come together in a tale of symbiosis and competition; the mortal combat between the carnivore and herbivore. And, finally, an end to the troubles and conflicts of the Riders, two beings confronting a fierce fate.
Plot[]
After two years on the run, Haruka Mizusawa is cornered by a Competitive Creatures Control Center (4C) squad led by Takeshi Kurosaki. Mizuki Mizusawa, a member of 4C and Haruka’s estranged foster sister, intervenes before he can be killed. The pair escapes into a nearby lake.
Haruka and Mizuki are found by a group of orphans and taken to their orphanage; The orphan Muku tends to Mizuki’s wounds. Haruka meets orphanage director Einosuke Mido, who offers him a permanent home but warns him of an off-limits room in the facility. Within the off-limits room, the orphans offer their blood to a chained-up man.
As Mido and the children see off a newly-adopted orphan, a group of Amazons attacks the orphanage. Haruka transforms and fights them, and is shocked to see Mido fight alongside him as a mechanical Amazon Rider. The 4C squad finds the pair and attempts to kill them, but they are saved by the former members of the original Amazon Extermination Team. The Extermination Team reveals themselves to have been sent by Haruka and Mizuki’s mother, Reika. Not wanting to endanger the orphanage, Haruka and Mizuki depart with the team.
Haruka crosses paths with the couple that had adopted an orphan, and discovers that they have killed and eaten her - the orphanage is in reality a farm where Amazons are being raised as livestock. He attempts to warn the children, but discovers they’re aware of their purpose. Enraged, Haruka enters the off-limits room and discovers they had been farming Amazon cells from his rival, Jin Takayama.
The original Extermination Team comes across a group of runaways from the orphanage living in an abandoned home. The children attempt to eat the Team, but are dissuaded by stories of their former Amazon teammates Haruka and Mamoru; As they prepare to take the children to safety, however, 4C attacks and causes the Amazons to become hostile. The Extermination Team is forced to help kill the runaways.
Yugo Tachibana, 4C’s chief, convinces a politician to adopt and eat Muku in an attempt to gather support for the Amazon Livestock Project. Muku, who had previously welcomed her status as livestock, regains her will to live and kills everyone in the restaurant except Tachibana. Haruka arrives and consoles Muku, convincing her to live for herself. The two return to the orphanage and convince the children to escape. Angered, Mido begins killing the children; Haruka and Muku attempt to oppose him, but are overpowered.
Jin tricks an orphan into freeing him, and prepares to kill the remaining children himself. Haruka tries to stop him, but is severely wounded. Muku, herself on the verge of death, asks Haruka to heal himself by eating her. Meanwhile, Jin murders Mido as revenge for his imprisonment. Haruka stops Jin from killing the remaining children and criticizes his obsession with killing Amazons in place of protecting lives. The pair clash, and Haruka kills Jin.
Haruka, guilty for having eaten Muku, attempts suicide by drowning. A vision of Mizuki, however, convinces him to live on as a protector. Meanwhile, the Extermination Team and Reika inform Kurosaki of the Amazon Livestock Project. Reika and Kurosaki prepare to remove Tachibana from 4C.
Mizuki takes over as director of the orphanage and cares for the surviving children, waiting for Haruka to return. Haruka looks at her through the window and departs.

- As an April Fools' joke for 2018, the official site for the movie changed the official poster image to a joke image showing Amazon Alpha and Omega posing together in a flowery background, so as to show that the Amazonz were "living in peace". A joke trailer was also released featuring actors Masashi Taniguchi and Tom Fujita as their respective characters Jin Takayama and Haruka Mizusawa acting out of character. The end of the trailer also showed a brief scene where Rena Takeda, portraying Mizuki Mizusawa, is seen leaping happily together with Amazon Alpha and Omega.
- Unlike previous Spring films, this is the first to not feature a crossover with another series.
- Unlike the series, the film has yet to see a legal overseas release.
