This article is about a movie in Kamen Rider Zi-O and Kamen Rider Build. |
Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Forever (仮面ライダー平成ジェネレーションズFOREVER, Kamen Raidā Heisei Jenerēshonzu Foebā)[1] is a Japanese superhero Tokusatsu crossover film between Kamen Rider Build and Kamen Rider Zi-O. It is the 10th Movie War and third installment of the Generations Series. The film also serves as a tribute to Kamen Rider Kuuga, Kamen Rider W, and Kamen Rider Den-O.
Production[]
Development[]
Director Yamaguchi signed-on to direct the film after the filming on Build wrapped. Yamaguchi stated that the writer Shimoyama and producer Shirakura were both equally enthusiastic about this commemorative film and that at least 10 different drafts of the film exists.
Writing[]
While celebrating the Heisei Riders, the writers also wanted to celebrate the real Heisei era as well. Knowing that the story they write will have contradictions to series canonicity, their main priority was a story of the Heisei Kamen Riders who face its fans and audience. Despite the themes and motifs of Den-O, W, and Kuuga, being time travel, taking place in a fictional city, and the first Heisei Rider ever, the writers ultimately decided to include them in the story. Writer Shimoyama stated the film's was also partially inspired by the Ultraman movie Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Dyna, & Ultraman Gaia: The Decisive Battle in Hyperspace, which had a similar plot in which fictional heroes were being brought to the real world via a person's wishes.[2]
Casting[]
Both Shunsuke Daitoh and Kenichi Takitō were cast in the film by producer Omori, who had Daitoh and Takito on a shortlist of actors he wanted to cast.[3][4] Nayuta Fukuzaki and Taiyo Saito both auditioned for their roles.[5]
In regards to Satoh's returning reprisal of his role as Ryotaro Nogami for the first time in ten years, his scenes were filmed in secret with a select number of filming crew and scene-sharing cast members after regular filming hours had concluded. Multiple measures such as dummy music being played and strict marketing techniques afterwards were employed to conceal Satoh's involvement in the film. This was done primarily to prevent the understanding of the significance of the film's themes from being diminished due to the hype of Satoh's appearance. Other than the film itself, no photos or behind-the-videos were shot during Satoh's filming session to prevent leaks. Furthermore, due to the nature of the dialogue given to him, it was Satoh's suggestion to perform his lines as Urataros instead of Ryotaro.[6]
Synopsis[]
- "A young Kamen Rider fan is granted his wish of seeing Riders in person, initiating the ultimate Japanese superhero crossover meta film. The third and final installment of the Heisei Generations series finds Kamen Rider Zi-O and Kamen Rider Build joining forces with all of the other Heisei Generation Riders to reverse the damages of an evil Time Jacker named Tid, and save their legacy. Are Kamen Riders real? Will you believe?"

Plot[]
While walking back home with his friends, Sougo Tokiwa is ambushed by Geiz Myokoin's Time Mazine, however, the Another Den-Liner appears from the time continuum and makes a crash landing. The Super Time Jacker Tid walks out of the Another Den-Liner and proclaimed that he would destroy the legacy of the Heisei Kamen Riders. Another Den-O jumps out and attacks Sougo, who has apparently lost his memories of being Kamen Rider Zi-O. After touching his dropped Zi-O Ridewatch, Sougo's memories return, and both he and Geiz transform to fight Another Den-O, but it escapes. After canceling their transformations, the two are met with an audience who applaud them. Tsukuyomi, who's memories had just been altered, then yells at the two by their last names, saying they were late for school.
Meanwhile, in the city, a boy named Shingo is caught in a green tornado and falls into the arms of Ryuga Banjo. While Sento Kiryu attempts to make a scientific guess as to what just happened, they are met with Another Double, who attacks the now-transformed Build and Cross-Z. While Ataru Hisanaga happily records the fight, Kazumi Sawatari as Grease and Gentoku Himuro as Rogue arrive to help Build and Cross-Z fight Another Double. After they fend him off, Sento and Ryuga are then confused as to why Kazumi and Gentoku have their memories, as they did not cross through the new world. Later when they realize the boy from earlier was gone, Sento sets out to find him. Later at that moment, Gentoku loses his memories and walks off. Kazumi and Ryuga walk the city trying to figure out what happened to Gentoku and the new world situation when Misora Isurugi arrives and berates Ryuga for not calling or texting her while ignoring Kazumi. Ryuga is surprised to see that Nascita has now changed to Nasubi, when Misora suddenly loses her memories and happily runs off from whom she believes to be her "fans."
At Hikarigamori High School, Sougo and Geiz notice that Tsukuyomi's memories have been heavily altered, and her personality seems too "normal". Ataru approaches her and refers to her as "Tsukuyomi", which Geiz found weird as that is not a name that anyone in the current time period should know, except Sougo and Geiz. After school, Tsukuyomi and her friends decide to head to the formerly 9 5 DO, now Mojimoji to eat. Geiz follows them in and is greeted by Junichiro Tokiwa who offers to take his order. Geiz politely declines, but his poor choice of words landed him a cup of coffee.
Sento finds Shingo and reveals that he is Kamen Rider Build, however, Tid appears wanting to take Shingo away. Sento enters a fight with him to protect Shingo, but he gets brainwashed himself and is forced to do Tid's bidding. Tid becomes displeased that Riders exist in this world despite them being fictional and wants to know why. He reveals that Shingo is the key to his plans. In secret, Sento programs his Build Phone.
Ataru walks home and discovers that Sougo was following him, so Ataru introduces himself as Sougo's classmate. He also reveals that he has the ability to draw Kamen Riders to him, so he knows Sougo is Zi-O. Sougo is not convinced, so Ataru takes him to Futo City to eat at Fumen Master's shop, hoping to draw out Kamen Rider Double, however, they end up drawing out Another Double instead, who was chasing Shingo. Sougo attempts to transform, but Another Double escapes at the sight of seeing Sougo's Driver and Ridewatch. Master then discovers that Sougo was the one that Shotaro Hidari was talking about, so he presents him with the Double Ridewatch. Sougo then talks to Shingo and offers to help him find his mother, however, Shingo replies that his mother is currently in the hospital giving birth to his younger brother. He also expresses interest in watching Kamen Rider Kuuga, which Ataru is surprised to hear such a young kid be interested in the classics. Ataru reveals he was born the day before Kuuga had aired its first episode on television, and Shingo thought today was Ataru's birthday.
Sougo brings Shingo and Ataru to the now Cafe Mojimoji, where he finds Geiz studying and has now lost his memories. Outside, Sougo tells Shingo that he should bring him home and brings out his map app on his smartphone, which Shingo replies that it was his first time seeing a "small laptop". Ryuga and Kazumi arrive and see Shingo, who he reveals that after Sento found him, he was caught. Sento's Machine Builder arrives unmanned, which Ryuga deducts that Sento sent it here so they can find him.
Ataru, Kazumi, and Shingo ride the bus home. Ataru finds that Kazumi highly resembles Otoya Kurenai from Kamen Rider Kiva (a reference that both Kazumi and Otoya are portrayed by Kouhei Takeda), but Kazumi replies in confusion. The three get off and arrive at Ataru's house. Discovering that the nameplate is "Hisanaga", Shingo asks for Ataru's name and it strikes familiarity with him. Another Double appears and Kazumi transforms to fight him. Another Den-O arrives and helps Another Double gang up on Grease, and they defeat him. Another Double approaches Ataru and Shingo, but Shingo assures to his younger brother that everything would be ok. He jumps in front and shields Ataru, but is then taken by Another Double. Another Den-O walks up to Ataru and reveals his identity to be Ataru himself, from the future.
Taking the bike, Cross-Z and Zi-O arrive and Tid and Sento's location. Sento transforms into TankTank form and fights the two. Build manages to take down both Cross-Z and Zi-O, and prepares to finish them. However at the very last moment, he turns the blaster and fires at Tid instead, who then uses his powers to stop the attack. Realizing that Sento was only feigning his brainwashing, he did not care as Another Double had already completed his mission by kidnapping Shingo, and leaves. Sento then apologizes to Ryuga and Sougo, as he had to trick his allies first before he is able to effectively fool the enemy. Sento then realizes that the entire fight was actually a diversion in the first place, to lure them away from Shingo and Another Double.
Sougo and Sento then return to Ataru's house looking for "Shingo", but Ataru doesn't know why the two would know the name of his older brother, and realizes they were referring to the boy. He brings them to his room which is filled with Kamen Rider memorabilia, with Sougo and Sento stunned to see toys of themselves. Ataru reveals that Kamen Riders are fictional and were brought to this world due to him making a contract with an Imagin named Futaros. He also reveals that on the day he was born, his older brother of seven years, Shingo Hisanaga went missing. As he grew up a fan of Kamen Rider, he wished that they would one day come to life and help find his brother, which was the main conviction of his contract with Futaros. Realizing that it would never happen because they were fictional, Ataru heeded no mind to the situation with Tid and the Another Riders. This angered Sento, who berated Ataru for having no compassion for people, real or not, and walked away. As the two walk downstairs, Sento discovers a picture. Futaros then reveals to Ataru that his powers are diminishing, and the remaining Riders left in the world will soon disappear.
At Tid's newly created Another Double/Den-O tower, he meets up with the two Another Riders who have successfully taken Shingo. He puts Shingo inside a box and declares his intent to correct the world. The tower then rises to its apex and causes the weather to change to heavy rain. Sougo began to have an existential crisis, but Sento reassures him that as a man who used to not exist, he had learned to deal with it and convinced Sougo to as well. The two transform in the rain and fight the horde of soldiers that stand in their way. Inspired by what Sento said, Ataru walks out of his house and finds Kazumi, but he has lost his memory and cannot help him. Ataru is downed by a group of soldiers but is saved by Futaros. Finishing up his contract, Futaros enters Shingo. At that moment, Sougo arrives and sees Futaros enter. Because Ataru has lost his conviction, Sougo, Sento, and Ryuga disappear.
Sougo then awakens in 9 5 DO and explains what happened to Woz. Sento then comes into the shop and tells Sougo to recall the photo they saw at Ataru's house. The photo is revealed to be a picture of Shingo, which Sougo deduced that Shingo is in fact Ataru's older brother from the past. Knowing what to do, he reveals the Double Ridewatch and uses it to transport the three back to Ataru's world. Sougo arrives at where Ataru was at last, and Woz uses the Gaia Library to ascertain the date that Futaros has gone back to, January 29, 2000, the day Ataru was born. Sougo takes Ataru to that date, to the hospital where Futaros had just arrived and begun to chase after Another Double. Another Double takes "Shingo Hisanaga" hostage. After hearing Shingo's last name, Sougo reveals Shingo's true identity to Ataru. After realizing that his older brother was trying to protect him after all this time, Ataru lashes out at Another Double, but is forcibly transformed into Another Den-O. Another Den-O then leaves with Another Double and Shingo aboard the Another Den-Liner and travel back to where they were at the start of the film. Sougo reveals that he already notified friends to meet him.
At the mummified tomb of Riku, the original Kamen Rider Kuuga, Tid steals its powers into an Another Ridewatch. Geiz arrives in an attempt to stop him from destroying the Heisei Rider legacy. Tid turns himself into Another Kuuga, and Tsukuyomi fights him using his Time Mazine, which gets damaged. Sougo and Futaros follow-through using Sougo's Time Mazine, but they are ambushed by Another Kuuga and the Another Den-Liner, which ends up wrecking up their Time Mazine, and they crash into the mountains. Tid turns back into his human form, and the Another Den-Liner travels forward to December 3, 2018. As it crashes into Geiz's Time Mazine, Shingo takes this chance to run, though Another Double catches him to him and chases him to the city.
By making himself Another Kuuga, Futaros deduces that Tid already erased the history of the Heisei Riders, and reveals that Shingo is a Singularity Point, meaning temporal changes in his past will not affect him. Futaros announces his intent to help save Shingo and the world but is distraught that Sougo's Time Mazine is wreaked. After Geiz and Tsukuyomi arrive, they attempt to travel back to 2018 together, but their temporal systems were too damaged to get them anywhere. Miraculously, they are saved by the real DenLiner.
Back in the present-day, Sento and Ryuga confront Tid, who is angry that the Riders still exist. The two transform into RabbitRabbit and Cross-Z Magma and fight the soldiers. After taking the fight outside, Sougo and his team return with the DenLiner's help, and Sento welcomes them back. Sougo, Geiz, and Futaros confront Tid and the Another Riders, who voices his intent on erasing the Heisei Rider legacy. Sougo and Geiz attempt to transform, but Tid stops them and ambushes soldiers on them, while Futaros attempts to save Ataru from Another Den-O through empty ears. Before Another Den-O is able to finish Futaros off, everyone in the room (except Tid) are transported to safety by Kamen Rider Den-O, which Momotaros, Kintaros, Ryutaros, and Urataros take turns fighting the soldiers and defeating Another Den-O, turning Ataru back to normal. Urataros as Ryotaro Nogami helps him up and reveals that Kamen Riders do and will continue to exist as long as people remember them. They then transport the team back, and the Taros fight amongst themselves. While Ryotaro is seemingly possessed by Urataros, Momotaros revealed that he wasn't fooled and Ryotaro smiles.
The four return to the tower, and Ataru tells Tid what Ryotaro had said to him. With his conviction now at its maximum, all the Riders that had lost their memories return, including Kazumi and Gentoku who transform into Grease and Rogue. Two children are ambushed by a pair of soldiers, but their cry for help summons Kamen Riders Ghost and Ex-Aid to their rescue. As two young men are about to be attacked, Double appears to save them. A young man encourages two boys to believe in the Kamen Riders, which results in him summoning Kamen Rider Kuuga. In the public, Kamen Riders Kiva and Gaim appear, followed by Kamen Riders Agito, Ryuki, Wizard. Kamen Riders Blade, Faiz, and Hibiki then follow through. Kamen Riders Kabuto, Decade, and Fourze arrive as well. Last but not least, Kamen Riders OOO and Drive appear. Momotaros in Den-O Sword Form and makes his stand against a group of soldiers. All the Riders are manifested from all the civilians' imaginations and protected them from the monsters.
While Another Double fights Build and Cross-Z, Sougo arrives and transforms into Zi-O DoubleArmor, with Woz giving a speech shortly after commemorating DoubleArmor's first appearance. With the new Armor, Zi-O defeats Another Double. An enraged Tid transforms into Another Kuuga and attacks Zi-O and Geiz. They take their Time Mazines, now fixed by Sento to fight Another Kuuga. Geiz gives Sougo the Kuuga Ridewatch, which he had created at Riku's gravesite before Tid forced him out. After being defeated, Zi-O and Build chase Tid back to the tower, and he merges himself and Shingo before transforming into the giant Another Ultimate Kuuga. The two follow him on their bikes to an empty battlefield, with the public cheering them on. However, Tid summoned a horde of soldiers, which then all the Riders appear to help the two clear the battlefield. The Riders then charge their final Rider Kicks alongside Kuuga himself in order to defeat Tid and save Shingo. In the midst of the battle, Shingo wakes up and is met with an awe sight of all 20 Riders assembled.
As Shingo prepares to be taken back to 2000, Ataru thanked his brother for protecting him, and Shingo apologized for making his younger brother wait to see his brother after 18 years. Futaros considered his job complete and walks away. DenLiner departs and the timeline changes. On January 29, 2000, Ataru Hisanaga is born with Shingo and a Kuuga figurine and plush right beside him. In 2003, the two pose with Kamen Rider Faiz gear. In 2005, the two pose with Hibiki gear. In 2007, the two attend a Kamen Rider Den-O show, posing with Den-O himself. In 2010, the two pose with the Cyclone and Joker Gaia Memories. In 2018, the two pose with Zi-O memorabilia.
In the new timeline, Sougo walks home from school and meets up with Sento, who both found themselves to still exist in the world. Sento decides to let this matter slide and just continue to exist, and Sougo proudly agreed. During the end credits, Sento and Ryuga ride off on their bike, and Sougo meets up with Geiz and Tsukuyomi.

Nerdist's YouTube Channel and on Twitch. The film was made available for streaming at TokuSHOUTsu on July 15th, ahead of its original August 1st release date due to popular demand.[25][26]
Errors[]
- When Sento was transforming into TankTank Form, the 'Tank & Tank' sound from FullFull RabbitTank Bottle is played when he 'caps' it, not when it is closed or put into the Build Driver.
- When Ryuki was using his Strike Vent, he was somehow able to use the Dragclaw Fire attack without the aid of Dragreder. This error also happened in episode 53 of Kamen Rider Wizard.
- Wizard is shown using the Special Ring while in regular Flame Style, in spite of use of a Dragon style being needed for the ring to work.
- The lower part of the upper body armor of Kamen Rider Cross-Z Magma has a massive dent on it. The reason for it is unknown.
- The Cross-Z Magma suit would be repaired during the production of Build NEW WORLD: Kamen Rider Grease.
- While not an error, Kabuto's undersuit is visibly worn out from repeated use.
- Kamen Rider Lazer Level 2 is visibly missing the Gamer Driver in the racing scene. Despite this, the Rider Machine that Ex-Aid used is Lazer, due to the latter possessing eyes and the transformation announcement of Bakusou Bike was used.
- The collar piece of Kamen Rider Kiva's suit is missing during the bike scene.
Reception[]
On opening weekend of December 21th, the film ranked first on Pia with a score of 93.5.[27] The same weekend, the film grossed 516.56 million yen, becoming the second-highest opening night of any Heisei-era Kamen Rider film since Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker, and the highest opening night of any Movie War film.[28] From January 1-3, the film grossed 158.75 million yen, and the overall film's grossing exceeded 1 billion yen, the first for any Movie War film.[29] By January 24th, the film's grossing reached 1.545 billion yen, surpassing the record set by Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider W & Decade: Movie War 2010 as the highest grossing Heisei-era Kamen Rider film ever.[30][31] The final box office grossing was 1.56 billion yen.[32]

- The film pays tribute to Kamen Rider Kuuga, Kamen Rider W, and Kamen Rider Den-O mainly due to the current immense prolificity of their lead actors Takeru Satoh, Joe Odagiri, and Masaki Suda, which is a contributing factor in their inability to reprise their roles.
- Satoh and Suda were both contacted to reprise their roles, with only Satoh being the one to return while Suda was forced to decline due to prior commitments and scheduling conflicts. According to sources, Suda, as Philip, would have been the one to access the Gaia Library instead, not Woz.[33]
- On the topic of returning actors, Hiro Mizushima, the lead star of Kamen Rider Kabuto, had always expressed his interest in reprising his role as Soji Tendo but never received an invite from Toei.[34]
- Although the setting is established to take place a world where Kamen Rider is a fictional franchise, certain elements like a Time Jacker, an Imagin, and the tomb of the first Kuuga unexpectedly exists in this world. Shin-ichiro Shirakura clarified their existence in this world, attributing that due to the lines between reality and fiction being blurred. He emphasized the absence of Yusuke Godai, who could take on the Kuuga role, that ultimately allowed the Heisei Riders to be brought into existence.[35]
- Footage from the first episode of Den-O is used during Woz's exposition about the Imagins in the True Gaia Memory.
- The scene where Sougo realizes that Ataru and Shingo are brothers is a homage to Kamen Rider Drive, recreating a recurring sequence from early episodes where Shinnosuke would be surrounded by spinning "flashback clips" while he put together the facts about the current case.
- In a unique situation different from his usual Imagin possessions, Ryotaro speaks with his own voice throughout his entire appearance despite still being possessed by Urataros, though a faint reverb of Urataros' voice can also be heard speaking alongside Ryotaro's voice. This had also occurred in the first episode, where Ryotaro gets possessed by Momotaros for the first time.
- The Legend Riders who arrive during the third act of the film are confirmed by Shin-ichiro Shirakura to not be the original characters, but instead manifestations of the civilians' imaginations of the Kamen Rider franchise.
- Kamen Rider Kuuga is the only Legend Rider silent for most of the film, with no voice recordings used and rarely grunts, but Kuuga's trademark battle cry was heard in one scene.
- When Momotaros as Den-O appeared with the other Legend Riders, he mutters That's good! That's good! That's awesome?! (いーじゃん!いーじゃん!スゲーじゃん?!, Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugee jan?!), which are lyrics to the opening, Climax Jump.
- Kamen Rider Laser is the only Supporting Rider to appear in the film's final act with the Legend Riders. Director Kyohei Yamaguchi admitted Laser's inclusion due to personal favoritism. He highlights that Ex-Aid wouldn't be called a "Kamen Rider" without Laser as his Rider Machine.[36] On another note, the official Twitter account for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid celebrated the appearance of two Riders from the series in the film.[37]
- This is the second Kamen Rider film to be legally available in the United States, the first being Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue. During the film's first live premiere, it was accompanied by a message from Keisuke Watanabe, who gave away an autographed DX Beyondriver.
