This article is about an event in Kamen Rider Build. |
- "It has been 10 years since Pandora Box was discovered on Mars and caused the Sky Wall tragedy. Our country was divided into Touto, Seito and Hokuto, resulting in untold chaos."

In the World of Build, the Sky Wall Disaster (スカイウォールの惨劇, Sukai Wōru no Sangeki) was an unprecedented incident that occurred 10 years prior to the start of the series' when Evolto attempted to raise Pandora's Tower by using his powers on the box. However due to Vernage having tampered with the bottles beforehand, the Box summoned the Sky Wall instead.
As the rising wall sprung pre-constructed from the ground, it suspended several civilians into the air with unspecified fates, and the country of Japan was split into three different nations: Hokuto, Touto, and Seito. According to director Gentoku Himuro, everyone who was present at the event had suddenly developed much more aggressive personalities.
With the nation divided, several foreign powers have tried to take advantage of the disarray of Japan and claim/annex parts of the nation through imperialistic influence, though the "vultures", as they are called by Director Himuro, are being kept at bay for now as none of the districts have any interest in allying or being influenced by any other nation (especially Russia and China).
The disaster was also a major catalyst for the instigation of the Japanese Civil War, which was thrust into action as a direct result of the Sky Wall appearing instead of the full tower.
Behind the Scenes[]
The Sky Wall Disaster serves as the opening event of Kamen Rider Build, until episode 28. The ramifications of the Sky Wall Disaster explicitly sets Build apart from the prior Kamen Rider Series; ultimately, the film Kamen Rider Heisei Generations Final: Build & Ex-Aid with Legend Riders confirmed that Build took place in its own reality.
South Korean dub[]
Most South Korean dubs of Kamen Rider relocate the show's setting from Japan to South Korea. However due to the current political regime of both North and South Korea, the show was based on a fictional island nation (loosely based on both the United States and Canada) instead.
