Kamen Rider Geats × Revice: Movie Battle Royale

is a Japanese superhero crossover film between Kamen Rider Geats and Kamen Rider Revice, and is the 13th Movie War. The film also commemorates the 20th anniversary of Kamen Rider Ryuki and features supporting roles from Ryuki, Knight, and Ouja. In the film, Ikki and Ace battle to reclaim Koshiro's demon from the clutches of Colus, an evil Game Master who has pitted the Riders in the Desire Royale against the Mirror World Riders and the powerful Kamen Rider Seeker.
==Production==
===Writing===
The film's format was conceived to comprise of multiple acts, with the first being a "true finale" to Kamen Rider Revice with Hanta Kinoshita penning the portion, while he would collaborate with Yuya Takahashi to write the second portion, which serves as the proper crossover between their respective series.
The decision to include a "legend" came from the production committee's request. There were voices advocating for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid due to its gaming connection. However, Kamen Rider Ryuki was chosen due to the theme of survival games.『フィギュア王』No.310、ワールドフォトプレス、2023年12月30日、ISBN 978-4-8465-3310-6。
There was discussion of the film being divided into three acts, but it was ultimately split into two. Takahashi created the "Devil Marathon Game" as an exclusive mission for the film, and scattered future plot points that will eventually develop in Geatss narrative.『仮面ライダーギーツ×リバイス MOVIEバトルロワイヤル』パンフレット 2022年12月23日発行 構成・編集・文：用田邦憲 発行所：東映事業推進部

==Synopsis==
The breathtaking battle of “GEATS VS REVICE VS RYUKI” starts here! A crossover film between Kamen Rider Geats, Kamen Rider Revice, and Kamen Rider Ryuki, starting with the ending story of Kamen Rider Revice and continues with “a dreadful game” where the Riders declare war on each other. Ace Ukiyo and other Riders who fought in the Desire Grand Prix are invited to a new game called “Desire Royale”. No one knows the true identity of the game master, while this mystical figure hides behind the shadow, uses different tricks to gather the Riders for a fierce fight! Following the appearance of a mysterious rider, an unprecedented battle game begins! Who will be the winner? What then will the winner wish for...?
==Continuity and Placement==
*Kamen Rider Geats: The film takes place between episodes 15 and 16. The events of the movie are acknowledged in episodes 17, 34, and the Hyper Battle DVD.
*Kamen Rider Revice: The film takes place roughly a year after the final episode, in which Ikki and Ace's meeting is acknowledged in the film.
*Kamen Rider Ryuki: This film takes place in the main timeline, 20 years after the events of the first Rider Fight.
==Plot==
One year after they saved the Earth from Giff, life has continued on for the Igarashi family. As welcoming their newest member Koshiro into their lives, their demons also join them as part of the family. However Ikki is saddened to have no memory of Vice. Whilst on vacation, the family are attacked by aliens looking to extract Koshiro's inner demon to harness Giff's power. After being hospitalised in the attack, Ikki is somehow able to pull forth his own demon partner once more.
But defeating these new enemies is only half the fight. As Koshiro's demon is passed on to former Game Master Colus, the Desire Grand Prix is transformed into the Devil Desire Royale. Its opening round pits Geats, Tycoon, Buffa and Na-Go against the Igarashi family, with the appearance of Kamen Riders Ryuga, Ouja and Knight also complicating matters. A new Rider also steps into the fray with eyes on becoming the newest Desire God. Can the Igarashis return Koshiro's demon to their brother before it's too late? And who will be next to claim the ultimate prize of creating their ideal world?

==Release==
==Errors==
*Within Revice's perspective, this movie takes place on December 20, 2023, which does not properly reconcile with the continuity of Geats (which takes place in 2022). Similar to OOO and W Movie War Core, Drive and Ghost Movie war Genesis, Heisei Generations Forever, and Kamen Rider: Beyond Generations, this is another case of timeframes between each Kamen Rider series (And from a larger perspective of Toei's cross-series continuity errors to their productions in general due to producer and writer changeovers) not always correlating with one another when larger post-series timeskips are made part of the stories of teamup films despite most series occurring sequentially to one-another.
*While on a family vacation, Ikki, Daiji, and Genta are standing outside. Despite their apparent nudity, their actors are actually wearing shorts, which are noticeable in the reflection of the window behind them.
*During Tamaki's transformation, the Demons Driver's announcement for "Deal" is voiced in the same sound as Bandai's first promotional video for the Driver.
*It is left unexplained on how Ace obtained second copies for the Monster and Beat Buckles in his possession.
*When Geats hands over the Propeller and Revice Driver Buckles, a production staff member's hand is briefly seen retrieving the Rex Vistamp.
*Dragblacker's flames are depicted as being red, in spite of them being consistently a bluish black in previous appearances.
*When Dragblacker is defeated by Knight, Ryuga does not assume Blank Form upon his defeat, in spite of his Contract Monster having been killed.
*When Geats, Revi, and Vice land out of the Gate of Destruction, Koshiro's demon is nowhere to be found despite Revi retrieving him earlier.
==Notes==
*This is the first Movie War since Movie War Full Throttle to feature a multi-act story, thus it returns to the traditional naming scheme of including each presenting series' name and the word "movie". As such, this film does not fall under an installment of the Generations Series.
*The first announcement poster for the film was released before the end of Kamen Rider Revice. With the release of the film's second poster, it had been updated to reflect Vice's fate in the final episode of Revice.
*The Cyclone's sound effects are played when Ikki arrives on Hiromi Kadota's motorcycle to fight Izangi and Balidelo.
*Karizaki introduces himself to Tsumuri as a "passing through Kamen Rider" fan while mimicking Tsukasa Kadoya's pose.
*This film features a fight between Kamen Riders Tycoon and Ryuga, the latter humorously sharing his name with Tycoon's actor Ryuga Sato. Sato acknowledged this in an interview but clarified that this was a mere coincidence.https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20221222-2543932/2

*During the battle between Geats and Revi in the tunnel, the former shot down a highway sign that displayed routes referencing several Kamen Rider alumni such as Hiroshi Fujioka, Takeshi Sasaki, Hiroshi Miyauchi, and Shotaro Ishinomori.
**Notably, while the route name referencing Shotaro Ishinomori is written as , the bullet holes on the sign form a kana between the characters and , making it read as instead.
*The movie features a collaboration with , a multinational conveyor belt sushi specialty store. In the film, it features a sequence of Revi, Vice, and Geats running at a sushi restaurant in battle and the final scene of the film features Ikki and Ace having lunch together.https://re-how.net/2022/12/akindo-sushiro-co-ltd-released-on-december-23-friday-kamen-rider-geez-x-kamen-rider-revise-movie-battl-e-royale-x-sushiros-collaboration-product-kamen-rider-ge/https://gourmet.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1462994.html
*The transformation visuals of the Ryuki Riders are given a slight revamp for this movie to match those of the main Rider cast. Upon inserting their respective Card Decks into their V Buckles, a mirror forms in front of each of them and summons an energy projection of their own Contract Monsters. After a while, the reflection of their Rider suits, along with the monster projections, fuse with them to complete the transformation.
*During filming of the climatic battle, Kamen Rider Ryuga uses the Dragvisor prop instead of the Blackdragvisor. This was later color corrected during post-production.
