==Production==
Director Ryuta Tasaki had been a fan of the original Kamen Rider, where the concepts of "hero subjected to human experiments where he comes out stronger and fights monsters on a motorcycle" was fascinating to him, with Build being heavily inspired by such. The original concept for Build was that after Ryuga Banjo had escaped from jail, he'd meet and see Build as sort of a master, later becoming Cross-Z himself in his capacity as a pupil. After writer Shogo Muto was hired, he revised the story so that both characters would be buddies instead, allowing both characters to guide each other as opposed to it only going one way. Because the story revolves around the Fullbottles, Producer Omori felt that introducing the Pandora Box as a MacGuffin would make writing easier and more focused for Muto.

10 years ago, the Pandora Box was discovered on the planet Mars and brought forth a catastrophe that would forever change the country of Japan. In the years following the Sky Wall Disaster, the rising of the Sky Wall divided the country into three warring territories: Touto (Eastern Capital), Hokuto (Northern Capital) and Seito (Western Capital), and created a series of unidentified monsters known as Smash that relentlessly attack the public. To combat this chaos, the Touto government requested the help of Sento Kiryu, a genius and prodigious physicist to help decipher the mysteries left behind by both the Pandora Box and the Smash. Alongside prison escapee Ryuga Banjo, who was wrongfully framed for a murder he did not commit, the duo embark on a journey as Kamen Riders to uncover the mysteries surrounding the Pandora Box, the Smash, and their own pasts. Their journey would not come easy as they face adversaries from Hokuto and Seito, whom they must ultimately confide in if they are to have any hope in stopping their mutual enemy, Evolto from destroying the planet that they hold dear.
