Synopsis

Title card.

Blu-ray Disc cover.

Roidmude 051, whom Chase defeated before both as Kamen Rider Proto-Drive and Mashin Chaser, returns as a robber and left a woman named Hinako injured. Chase decides look after her brother Hiroshi after she got hospitalized, as they remind him of Kiriko and Go.

Because Chase does not show any emotions, Hiroshi, who is mildly sociopathic, does not trust him. Chase wishes that he can become a real human and feel the full extent of human emotions when suddenly, the Angel Roidmude appears. She has golden wings - a sign that she already achieved Ultimate Evolution. She grants Chase the emotions he wanted.

The Special Investigation Unit is surprised with a completely different Chase who can now express emotions like a human. However, as he learned more, he became concerned about Angel's actions and her wish to create a peaceful world--a world that differs from what Heart and Brain want to create, and thus puts the Roidmudes at odds with each other.

Meanwhile, while Shinnosuke Tomari is working on the case of 051, he goes to a nearby town where he meets a man named Ryu Terui.

Plot

The film begin with a flashback, where Roidmude 000, as Proto-zero re-activated by Krim Steinbelt in a form of Drive Driver. Proto-zero was in similar manner of crucifixion when this happening. Krim explained to Proto-zero that the Roidmudes had rebelled, and killed him also with Tenjuro Banno. Proto-zero despise the Roidmudes action that supposed to protect humanity, now want to destroy humanity. Krim states that Proto-zero was the Prototype of Roidmudes, with an infallible sense of justice & plead Proto-zero to became Proto-Drive to save humanity, which Proto-zero complies.

After Proto-zero transformed into Proto-Drive, he begin to fight with the Roidmudes during the Global Freeze (Albeit he can't destroy the cores). One of Proto-Drive target is Roidmude 051, who intoxicated by greed of human money. Proto-Drive manage to defeat 051, albeit his core survived & escapes. At first, Proto-Drive gain an upper hand during his fight with the low-class roidmudes. However, his encounter with Heart ended in utter defeat. Proto-Zero lost Krim & lost his memory as well after Freeze, Heart & Brain alter his memory.

Now as Mashin Chaser, Proto-Zero became the Grim-Reaper to maintain Roidmudes unity by executing the Traitors. Once again, 051 was one of Mashin Chaser target because of the same greed. However, Mashin Chaser, although using Triple Tune, is defeated by Drive Type Formula (Using Trailer Cannon) Fully Loaded Big Cannon. And Kiriko found Proto-Zero in agony after that.

Back to the film, Chase reawaken from his Trance by Kiriko. Kiriko ask him if he was alright, which Chase states that he was alright. Kiriko report that there is an incident, and Chase manage to go to the crime scene, transformed as Kamen Rider Chaser.

Surprisingly, the one was caused the incident was none other than 051, due of his same, insatiable greed of Money. One of the bank customer, Tamiya Hinako accidentally saw 051 true form as Roidmude. 051 then decides to finish Hinako off, although he get attacked by Chase not too long after. Using Break Gunner, Chase manage to fight equally with 051. 051 saw the Break Gunner & know that Chaser is the Grim-Reaper, which Chase mock him about repeating the same mistakes after being reset.

After exchanging gun shots, 051 decides to attack Hinako by firing her left arm & leg, rendering Chase in total disbelief & rage. However, just before Chase retaliate the attack, a mysterious silver feather manage to hit 051 gunned-arm(which send an electric wave upon in contact), leaving 051 no choice but to retreat after he assume that the one who shoot the feather was one of Chase comrade.

The one who shoot the feather was a female roidmude, and that roidmude states that she is Chase friend, as well as the defeated roidmudes before she took her leave. Not too long after, Shinnosuke & Go as Kamen rider Drive & Mach arrived. Chase report the current situation to them, and ask them to chase 051, while he took an injured Hinako to hospital.

At Hospital, Chase apologize to Hinako since he can't protect her. Hinako states that she might die if Chase didn't save her. Moments later, Hinako brother, Tamiya Hiroshi appeared. Hiroshi ask if Chase was her boyfriend, much to her chargrin. Hinako explained that Chase is the one who save her & he is a Kamen rider. When Chase ask if Hiroshi are afraid of him, Hinako explained that Hiroshi is an introvert, and he always open up to her since they lost their parents. This remind chase of Kiriko & Go, so he decide to protect Hiroshi to atone his failure of saving Hinako.

Unexpectedly, Hiroshi states that Chase is like a Mannequin, which shocked him since he also called Mannequin by two policewoman after he took his driver license photo. Chase then Tried to smile in order to prove that he wasn't a mannequin, but this further increasing Hiroshi distrust toward him, resulting him accidentally crushed his driver license to bits.

Meanwhile, after Brain observe Medic at a Library, he want to report to Heart, when he notice that the woman roidmude, 099 declared herself to became new Roidmude leader. Heart & 099 argues about the way to reach Ultimate evolution, which 099 exclaim that Heart method will bring Roidmude to extinction. Heart notice that several Roidmudea had already followed 099, which 099 reveal her true form & a new name, Angel before leaving. Many roidmudes then start leaving heart, including 051 who recently revived.

The next day, Chase ask Krim & Rinna to implant some Human emotion to him. Krim & Rinna jokingly said that his brain malfunctioning after dealing with 108. Chase sternly said that he's being serious about that, but Krim & Rinna didn't take it seriously as they enjoying moon eclipse. This further increasing his will to had a human heart.

Somehow, Chase receive a feather that used by Angel, albeit the feather color is gold, with red tint (Dubbed as Feather Circuit). The golden feather inject him with something that hallucinate chase about him having Human emotion. Angel then appeared & explain that she receive her Ultimate evolution & able to give emotion to Roidmudes. Of course, Chase didn't believe her. But, she suddenly stripped her clothes & show that she also use the feather on herself, before implanting the Feather to Chase body, granting him the emotions he desire.

Meanwhile, Shinnosuke, Go, Kiriko & Krim enjoying Orange Juice, Cola, Iced Tea & Milk respectively while explaining that 051 manage to flee. Chase suddenly show up & expressing that he glad they were well, he also laughed, which shocked Shinnosuke, Kiriko & Krim as they accidentally shower Go with their drink in mouth. Chase revealing his newly attained human emotion even further that scares Go, claiming that he now a human literally. Chase then ask if he could keep Hiroshi company, which the gang reluctantly agree. Chase then accompany Hiroshi to do things such as shopping & playing basketball with him.

Meanwhile, The gang (Save for Krim since he observing Chase) were at a crime scene, where a dead body found in Tokyo & Futo borderline. Shinnosuke & Go had a rather awkward discussion with Futo Police Captain, Ryu Terui. Terui explained that the victim was caused by an usage of Gaia Memory, so it's in Futo Juridiction to investigate. Shinnosuke asked him for a Joint Investigation, which Terui quickly disagree.

Back at Chase Location, suddenly 051 appeared & went berserk. However, Chase was unable to transform into Kamen Rider Chaser, due of the system that only allow him to transform when he didn't possess human emotion. Angel appeared & gave Chase Rhino Viral Core. Using that, Chase manage to transform into Super Mashin Chaser & Destroy 051 for good.

At first, Chase is delighted when he finally get human emotion & became a 'Human'. However, when Heart shows up, Angel revealing her true intent to make Roidmude under her control by ripping & absorbing their cores, increasing her power. This cause a doubt in Chase, as Brain & Heart use their Ultimate Evolution and fight with Empowered Angel with no avail. Chase then decides to protect Heart & Brain instead & Flee using Brain power to create clones using his neurotoxin. After that, They thought of idea to defeat Angel once and for all. But, before they could make a movement, Angel rip Heart core in the similar manner of the previous roidmudes.

Meanwhile, after further investigation, Shinnosuke, Go & Terui found out that the culprit of the murder before was Roidmude 077 who use Beast Gaia Memory. Shinnosuke & Go transformed as Kamen rider Drive type speed & Mach to battle the amalgamation, but with no avail. However, Terui decides to transform into Kamen Rider Accel and join the fray. Shortly, 077 destroyed after Shinnosuke & Terui Use Double rider kick. Terui order them to help Chase, which Shinnosuke & Go complies.

Angel manage to absorb Heart Core off, increasing her power even further. Then Chase as Super Mashin Chaser ride his Ride Chaser to fight Angel. Their fight continue at a beach, where Angel use Hiroshi by implanting the same feather she use for chase, resulting him feeling fake Happiness. Chase also unable to fight anymore due to the feather almost completely intergrating with his circuit, and forcefully detransformed. Chase then use his final resort, he forcefully took the feather away using Rhino Viral Core Blade portion. Resulting he became emotionless, but regain his sense of justice back, along with roidmude body once more.

Chase Transformed into Kamen Rider Chaser, and manage to drive Angel Insane by stating that her method wouldn't bring peace, but rejection. Shortly, Chase manage to finish Angel off for good using his Shingou Ax Across Breaker, Rhino Viral Core Full Break & Chaser Rider Kick after he manage to freed the cores she absorbed by punching her chest.
