***Kamen Rider Revice*** (仮面ライダーリバイス, *Kamen Raidā Ribaisu*) is the 3rd TV series in the Reiwa era and the 33rd TV series overall. It will premiere on September 5, 2021 and replace *Kamen Rider Saber* in the *Super Hero Time* block, joining *Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger*.

## Synopsis

The Igarashi family, who runs the public bath "Shiawase Yu", is a very ordinary family. The eldest son Ikki is a hot man, with a strong sense of justice and care. Occasionally from before, he felt like he could hear a strange "demon whisper" from inside himself, but he passed through without being particularly caught. The most important thing for Ikki was his family, and Shiawase Yu where families and people of the city gathered. But, the current problem is that Shiawase Yu is being forced to evict due to a request for urban redevelopment. One day, Ikki and the others suddenly, encounter the attack of a monster army led by the Deadmans! Ikki notices the existence of a demon that dwelt in his body from the heart of wanting to protect what's important, and listens to that whisper for the first time. And, with the spirit of "controlling poison with poison" he signs a contract with the demon Vice, and transforms into a Kamen Rider――.
