Synopsis[]
to be added
Plot[]
A sleeping Michinaga is awakened by Ace who informs him of the current Desire Grand Prix round. Present with them are Keiwa, Neon and Tsumuri. As Michinaga resolves to win this round, Tsumuri announces that the first round is a Dance Battle with all the male participants outfits changed into a retro look, much to Michinaga's bewilderment.
First Round - Dance Battle[]
The participants must dance to Neon's song "Sunday's Stray Cat" with Neon and Tsumuri being the judges, with the cutest dance determining who will win this round. Although Michinaga declares that he won't play this round, Ace's mockery of him being a coward ultimately ignites his rivalry once more. The first turn goes to Ace, who delivers a satisfactory dance. The second turn goes to Michinaga, in which he dances well, but his scary facial expressions stun both Neon and Tsumuri, much to Michinaga's dismay. In the end, Keiwa wins this round and obtains one point, much to Ace and Michinaga's shock.
Second Round - Kamen Rider Speech[]
The participants here must deliver a speech on the rooftop of a school, with the one who gives the most touching speech winning a point. The first turn goes to Keiwa, who personally asks for Tsumuri to hear his speech. Tsumuri giddily thinks that Keiwa is going to confess his love for her, only to be utterly disappointed as Keiwa complains about the DGP’s inconsistent schedule, which forces him to abandon his job at Soba Restaurant.
The second turn goes to Michinaga who complains to the staff that while the other participants' Rider names such as Geats, Tycoon and Na-Go are clever plays on their respective namesakes, his rider name Buffa is just simply 'buffalo' with the '-lo" removed and he wonders where do the '-lo' part of his Rider name goes. Tsumuri points out that Buffa’s naming scheme is at least better than most Riders, such as GinPen which is only a swapping anagram of Penguin.
In the end, Ace wins this round and gets a point after he complains that his title "Star of the Stars of the Stars" is way too long, in which all people present agrees with his statement. Afterwards, Keiwa points out that Michinaga's point is still at zero, further aggravating him.
Final Round - Obstacle Race[]
The participants here must complete a series of obstacle courses, and the one who finishes first will get a whopping amount of one million points. As the race starts, Keiwa immediately falls into trap and gets imprisoned, hereby disqualifying him from the entire race, much to Keiwa's shock. The race continues with Ace and Michinaga having to get a donut hanging on absurdly high position, which they manage to accomplish after transforming into Geats Magnum Form and Buffa Zombie Form respectively. Afterwards, Geats and Buffa have to bring a ladle with ping-pong ball across some construct with the Pawn Jyamatos interfering. Thanks to Buffa's work experience as a construction worker, he manages to outrun Geats with his stability. The penultimate obstacle is Kamen Rider Ouja who hides beneath a jumping block obstacle, with Buffa having to battle him to continue. In the end, Buffa manages to win and Ouja gives him Ouja V-Buckle Raise Buckle before disappearing into Mirror World.
Geats then confronts Buffa using the Ryuki V Buckle Raise Buckle that he steals from Keiwa after the latter falls into the trap, while Keiwa remembers that Buckle as a giveaway from Shinji Kido himself. Buffa then exclaims that "Those Who Won't Fight, Won't Survive" as they transform into Geats Ryuki Form and Buffa Ouja Form respectively. Geats and Buffa fiercely battle each other using Ryuki and Ouja's various powers, ending with a clash of Rider Kicks backed up by Dragreder and Venosnaker respectively.
As the pair arrive at the school rooftop where the Pawn Jyamatos are holding the Finish line with their hands, Geats and Buffa sprint toward the goal with intent to win and best each other. Ultimately, Buffa wins after he touches the finish line using his helmet horn, winning this game overall. Michinaga raises his fist and shouts in victory after he finally defeats Geats fair and square.
The casts congratulates him and Ace christens Michinaga as "Star of the Star of the Star of the King Star" which Tsumuri abbreviates as a simple "King Star". However, as Michinaga celebrates his victory, he is awakened by a police officer. It turns out that the entire game is only his dream. He screams in frustration, unaware that the Ouja V Buckle Raise Buckle is located beneath his seat.
Continuity and Placement[]
- The Hyper Battle DVD takes place sometime after the events of Kamen Rider Geats × Revice: Movie Battle Royale, as the film's events are referenced.
- However, it is unclear where exactly in the timeline this special could possibly fit in. After waking up from his dream, Michinaga is shown to be alive and well in his initial get-up prior to his eventual alliance with the Jyamato, yet by the time of Movie Battle Royale's events, he would've already been considered "dead" due to his elimination from the Desire Grand Prix.
