Kamen Rider Geats (仮面ライダーギーツ, Kamen Raidā Gītsu) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama in Toei Company's Kamen Rider Series. It is the fourth series to debut in the Reiwa Era and the thirty-seventh overall. The series premiered on September 4, 2022, joining Avataro Sentai Donbrothers in the Super Hero Time lineup after the finale of Kamen Rider Revice. After Donbrothers concluded, Geats was joined in the Super Hero Time line-up by Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger. After the finale of Geats, King-Ohger was joined by Kamen Rider Gotchard in the Super Hero Time block.

The series' catchphrase is "This game ― The winner in the end is me" (このゲーム―最後に勝つは俺（オレ）だ, Kono Gēmu ― Saigo ni Katsu wa Ore da).

Development[]

Kamen Rider had grown to a point where everyone in Japan at least knew what it was. As each succeeding series premiered, the number of Riders at debut has continuously grown but aren't necessarily stronger than the last. However, series head writer Yuya Takahashi believed that the brand's power was also declining as well, so he capitalized on the popularity of having multiple Riders in one series while pitting them in a popular theme of today's standards, such as survival games like Fortnite and Apex Legends to appeal to a new target audience.^[1]

However, rather than having the Riders fight and defeat each other like a battle royale in Kamen Rider Ryuki, Takahashi wanted to tackle more of a game in the sense of Kaiji and the more recently popular Netflix series, Squid Game, where the Riders attempt to save the world instead. Takahashi and Takabe both stated that reincarnation was also a secondary theme of Geats, which formulated the creation of the Desire Grand Prix.^[2]

Takahashi also believed that the original spirit of Kamen Rider was growing weaker, so he created the Rider Core IDs to symbolize the individuality of each character, which does not exist for Riders with more than one transformant.

Writing[]

Takahashi noted that historically speaking, Kamen Rider is all about fighting and defeating enemies, but that is a formula that will eventually get repetitive. As such, he found it imperative and necessary to diversify how the enemies were fought and their defeat conditions. As a result, Geats became a show not just about fighting monsters, but also about playing games. Takahashi stated that the games he wrote in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid were limited to just racing games and RPGs, but the scope of Geats' story allowed for a greater freedom of genres, such as games even children can play in the playground. ^[3]

Post-production[]

Toei Company confirmed and filed the trademark for Geats on May 31, 2022. On June 26, 2022, the copyright trademark updated to reveal the official title card of the show.^[4] Advance screenings of Kamen Rider Revice: Battle Familia revealed a September 4, 2022 premiere date for Geats along with a short story teaser.

A press conference was held on August 7, 2022, revealing Hideyoshi Kan, Ryuga Sato, Yuna Hoshino, Kazuto Mokudai, Kokoro Aoshima, and former Wizard-star Shugo Oshinari as main cast members, as well as Koda Kumi and Gaim-singers Shonan no Kaze as theme song artists. On August 14, 2022, it was announced that Nene Shida had joined the cast. On August 21, 2022, several actors were announced to have joined the cast as Riders, which include Tomoharu Hasegawa, former Kyoryuger-star Yamato Kinjo, Koji Abe, and Ryunosuke Miyamoto.
