This article is about a film in Kamen Rider Saber.

Kamen Rider Saber: The Phoenix Swordsman and the Book of Ruin (劇場短編 仮面ライダーセイバー［聖刃］不死鳥の剣士と破滅の本, Gekijō-tanpen Kamen Raidā Seibā Fushichou no Kenshi to Hametsu no Hon) is a Japanese superhero Tokusatsu Winter Film for Kamen Rider Saber, double-billed with Kamen Rider Zero-One: REAL×TIME. The film's post-credit scene features an early-bird appearance from both Master Logos and the Southern Base ahead of their in-series debuts.

Production[]

In October 2020, Kamen Rider Saber: The Movie was announced to premiere double-billed with Kamen Rider Zero-One: The Movie, in lieu of both Mashin Sentai Kiramager: The Movie and a Movie War crossover. In the same month, plot details, production images, and special cast members regarding Kamen Rider Saber: The Movie were revealed. In November, the film's official title was revealed and promoted alongside Zero-One's film in the marketing campaign titled Kamen Rider Splendid Double-Feature (仮面ライダー 超豪華2本立て, Kamen Raidā Chōgōkai ni-hondate).

Ticket pre-sales began on November 8, 2020, with online purchases including digital downloads of episodes of both Zero-One's anime and Saber's anime. Both films premiered side-to-side in Japanese theaters on December 18, 2020.

Errors[]

  • The colorization used in the TV series during scenes in Wonder World is not used in the film.
  • When Bahato first speaks to the Riders, his first line is noticeably ADR despite the next shot of him speaking on camera.
  • Most likely for theatrical purposes, the "Battou" portion of Touma, Rintaro, and Kento's transformation jingles play well after they have pulled their Seiken out of their Swordrivers.
  • During Tetsuo's transformation sequence into Kamen Rider Slash Hanselnuts to Gretel, the Onjuuken Suzune Gun Play Mode sound was used rather than the Sword Board Mode sound.

  • This is the first Winter Film to not serve as a crossover with the previous season, but rather a double-billed film releasing alongside the aforementioned season's theatrical movie.
    • To prevent the spread of COVID-19, Zero-One's summer movie was pushed to December as a result, as well being double-billed with Saber's winter movie instead, with Kiramager's Summer Film being pushed to February 2021. While no Movie War between Saber and Zero-One was ever produced, both characters (with Naito and Takahashi reprising their roles) would officially meet for the first time in Kamen Rider Saber ＋ Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger: Superhero Senki.
  • Being of a length of approximately 23 minutes only, this is the first Kamen Rider theatrical movie to be labelled as a "short movie" (劇場短編, Gekijō-tanpen) rather than the standard movie prefix (劇場版, Gekijō-ban).
  • This film features cameo appearances of Master Logos and Sword of Logos Southern Branch, making this film the first Winter Film to feature a non-Rider cameo.
