*Ace nor any of his iterations do not access their primary form, MagnumBoost Form, for the duration of the entire film.
*Mela had appeared as XGeats prior in the series. According to the bonus novel, Who is Melo?, his appearance as XGeats was revealed to be a disguise generated using divine abilities and not counted as actual Rider powers until the events of the film.オリジナルストーリーブック『Who is MELO？』
