Daiji wavers before a new enemy and new "devil." Furthermore, he is betrayed by Kagero, who is supposed to share his body. The secrets that the kidnapped girl, Rumi, holds... just what connection to they have with Muramasa?
The final tale that inherits the spirit of Kamen Rider Revice, which has for one long year told the tale of a buddy relationship... begins now!
Continuity and Placement[]
- The film takes place after the events of Kamen Rider Geats × Revice: Movie Battle Royale.
Plot[]
Sometime after Giff's defeat and the restoration of the city, Daiji leads a Blue Bird strike team to rescue children and a kidnapped "Hiromi Kadota" from Shunichiro Somei, a member of the terrorist organization Alicorn. However they are overwhelmed by Somei’s supernatural powers, while one of the rescued children Rumi asks where her “uncle” was. While Daiji realizes that "Hiromi" is acting strange, the real Hiromi is washed ashore elsewhere, unaware that he was replaced by a doppelgänger.
Back in the office, George and Daiji congratulate Dr. Ichimura on his research that cured Hiromi, which could be game-changing technology in the medical industry. At Happy Spa, Rumi is brought into the care of both Sakura Igarashi and Ikki Igarashi, before Rumi is taken away by "Hiromi", whom Rumi refers to as Uncle. At Blue Bird HQ, Daiji interrogates Somei, who refuses to talk but announces there will be unsolicited attacks throughout the city. Somewhere in the city, Rumi realizes that "Hiromi" wasn't her uncle and runs away, with the news reporting that "Hiromi Kadota" was seen kidnapping a girl in broad daytime. Somewhere in the same area, Hiromi discovers what was happening and goes after Rumi to protect her, with a flashback revealing that Hiromi had promised to take Rumi to the amusement park as her "Uncle". They are then attacked by Alicorn agents, who use their enhanced powers to overwhelm him.
Daiji then goes to Hana, Go, and Sakura for help. As Daiji begins to look for Hiromi, he suspects that the imposter could be Hiromi's inner demon. Hiromi and Rumi manage to escape but are found by Hiromi's inner demon, who attacks Hiromi with the sword he named himself after, Muramasa. Daiji, Hana, Go, and Sakura arrive at the warehouse, but Muramasa claims himself to be the real Hiromi. With Hiromi framed, he and Rumi escape.
Daiji continues to investigate Alicorn's attacks and deduces that their true target was Dr. Ichimura's research on artificial human mutation. Somewhere, Hiromi apologizes to Rumi, to which she then uses her revealed healing abilities to mend Hiromi's injuries. Later, while Blue Bird transports Somei, they are attacked by Alicorn. With two of their agents having "evolved" into monster forms, Daiji tranforms into EvilityLive but is defeated by Muramasa, who confirms he was Hiromi's inner demon and destroys the Two Sidriver.
Disheartened by what had happened, Kagero decides to leave Daiji and seemingly join Alicorn, though George ultimately encourages Daiji to trust that both Kagero and Hiromi have turned for a good reason. Somewhere while Hiromi discovers that Rumi's abilities were instrumental in curing his body, Kagero arrives and kidnaps Rumi for Alicorn. At Happy Spa, Ikki encourages Daiji to trust Kagero, just like how Ikki did for Vice. Elsewhere, Hiromi is encouraged by Wakabayashi's spirit to not give up.
