For the series' main character, Build, see Sento Kiryu.

Kamen Rider Build (仮面ライダービルド, Kamen Raidā Birudo) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama in Toei Company's Kamen Rider Series. It is the nineteenth and penultimate series for a full Heisei period run and the twenty-eighth series overall. The series started on September 3, 2017, joining Uchu Sentai KyurangerIcon-crosswiki in the Super Hero Time line-up after the finale of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. After Kyuranger concluded on February 4, 2018, the series was joined by Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai PatrangerIcon-crosswiki in the Super Hero Time line-up. After the finale of Kamen Rider Build, Kamen Rider Zi-O joined Lupinranger VS Patranger on the Super Hero Time block.

The tagline of the series is "Now, shall we begin the experiment?" (さぁ、実験を始めようか。, Sa, jikken o hajimeyou ka?). One of the underlying motifs of this season is science and scientific principles.

The average ratings of the series was 3.22%.[1]

Plot

"It has been 10 years since the Pandora Box was discovered on Mars and caused the Skywall tragedy. Our country was divided into Touto, Seito, and Hokuto, resulting in untold chaos."
―Narrator (episode 2-28)[src]

"It has been 10 years since the Skywall tragedy. In the attempt to open the Pandora Box and release its massive amount of energy capable of destroying the world...a new battle has begun."
―Narrator (episode 29-35)[src]

"The Pandora Box, which contains enough energy capable to destroy the Earth, has finally been opened. The alien lifeform Evolto controls that power...but the Kamen Riders stand against him!"
―Narrator (episode 36-48)[src]

When the Pandora Box was recovered from Mars 10 years ago, it it created walls that divided Japan into three warring territories: Touto (Eastern Capital), Hokuto (Northern Capital) and Seito (Western Capital) and brought along the Smash, unidentified lifeforms that attack the public. The Touto government has requested the assistance of Sento Kiryu, a prodigious physicist to help decipher the mystery behind the Pandora Box and the Smash. Alongside Ryuga Banjou, a prison escapee who was wrongly imprisoned for a murder he did not commit, he and Sento embark on a mission as Kamen Riders to uncover the mysteries surrounding the Pandora Box, the Smash, and their own pasts.

Notes

  • This series ran through 2018, the 80th anniversary of Shotaro Ishinomori's birth.
  • This series will be the final Rider series to have a full televised run in the Heisei Era; the series after Build will be in a similar position to Kamen Rider Black RX in that it will run during the transition of reigning emperors. Emperor Akihito will abdicate the throne in April 30, 2019[3] to his son Prince Naruhito, thus beginning the Reiwa era of Japan.
  • With this series, Kamen Rider's timeslot changes from 8am to 9am starting in October.
  • This series opening credits reuse the same font style that was used in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.
  • This Kamen Rider series shares some similar elements with its first Super Hero Time partner, Uchu Sentai Kyuranger.
    • Both take place in separate universes from their respective franchises.
    • The heroes from both series visited their respective franchises' main universes and they met and fought alongside some of their predecessors who live there.
    • Additionally, while Kamen Rider Decade explored the concept of alternate universes and continuities, Build is the first Kamen Rider season to fully exist in a unique, independent universe that is not based on a past Kamen Rider season.
    • The main villains of both series are evil entities of extraterrestrial origin with devices that have the power to destroy planets (Don Armage's Moraimars for Kyuranger and Evolto's Evol-Driver and the Pandora Box for Build).
      • They're capable of possessing someone else's body as well (Quervo, Tsurugi Ohtori & Later People across the Universe in Don Armage's case and Soichi Isurugi, Ryuga Banjo, Sento Kiryu, Kazumi Sawatari and Nariaki Utsumi in Evolto's case).
      • They also have Black Hole themed items (Black Hole Kyutama and Evol Trigger).
    • Both series' collectibles have a sliding gimmick prior to their usage for transformation.
    • Both series have the father of a Hero working for the Villain Factions in some way (Lucky's father Aslan was brainwashed to work for Jark Matter while Sento's father Shinobu Katsuragi pretended to work for Evolto in order to create the Black and White Pandora Panels to destroy Evolto).
      • Both fathers die after the re-encountering with their sons.
    • Both series involves alien civilizations and uses a space theme in some way.
    • Both series have veteran actors from their respective franchises playing major characters.
  • This is the first series since:
    • Kamen Rider Ex-Aid to have every episode of the TV series written by the head writer alone.
    • Kamen Rider Ghost to not have a Super Hero Taisen film air during its run.
    • Kamen Rider Gaim to not feature characters from the succeeding series to appear in the final episode.
    • Kamen Rider Wizard to premiere in September and to not to have a Spring Crossover with a co-airing Super Sentai series.
    • Kamen Rider Fourze to have a female vocalist sing its opening theme.
    • Kamen Rider W to not appear in the Spring film during its run and to feature a main item from the succeeding season.
    • Kamen Rider Decade to use only "Form" in naming the Rider's forms instead of using a unique term like Combo, States, etc.
    • Kamen Rider Den-O to neither have a female Rider in the TV series, Movies or Specials.
    • The entirety of the franchise to have its opening theme song performed by a non-native Japanese vocalist.
  • In keeping with the science motif, a few of the equations, graphs, formula and matrix seen in the background or Rider's finisher in the show are based on math, scientific theories or scientific principles. These objects are provided by professors from Keio University, Kyushu University, Kyoto University and JSPS after a discussion of how to show characters' emotion symbolically.[4]
  • Some elements of the show have similarities to past Rider seasons
    • The Rider's in the show need to have a physical change in order to use transformation belts similar to the Riders in 555, and Ex-Aid.
      • The Riders in Kamen Rider 555 need to be Orphnochs (or having Orphnoch DNA in their cellular makeup) in order to become a Rider.
      • The Riders in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid need to undergo a special surgery in order to use a Gamer Driver.
      • The Riders in Kamen Rider Build need to have a Hazard Level of 3 or higher in order to transform.
    • The Smash being humans unwillingly turned into monsters is similar to the Bugsters, and the Phantoms.
  • As revealed in the final episode, Sento Kiryu wrote his adventure into a 49-episode script.
