Comments

Okuno: "My heart is filled with excitement and joy on the first day of the film's release, and I went to the set with the feeling that I wanted the older members of Build who had worked with me in the TV series in the past to see me grow up. When we saw the finished film, it gave us goosebumps as actors ourselves! One of the main themes of this movie is that Masked Rider is a fiction, but if it were just a fiction, I don't think we would have been able to create this history of 20 Heisei Masked Riders, so I thought that we, Masked Riders, are certainly here to stay, no matter what time of year."

Inukai: " This is the first movie with the Geow team and the Build team, so please look forward to seeing what kind of chemical reactions are taking place. I haven't worked with the Geo team since the TV series, but I got the impression that they have grown stronger since we met. Through this movie, I was reminded that Heisei Masked Rider is loved by many people, and I also strongly felt that Heisei Masked Rider is loved by so many people because it is a hero that lives with the times.

Daito: "The Heisei Masked Rider series started when I was a student, and I used the feelings of longing I had when I was watching Masked Rider as a viewer to create the role. More than 35 million people have seen the Heisei Masked Rider movies, and when I saw Masked Rider on the set, I couldn't help but think, "Rider is so cool! I was like, "Rider is so cool! I think this is the reason why so many people love Masked Rider, and I felt a sense of responsibility that all the staff involved in Masked Rider are giving birth to the dreams of children here and now. I felt again that each of the 20 Heisei Masked Rider films is a history, not a past work that has ended."

Ken Sato (Ryotaro Nogami)

I am very honored to have been invited to be a part of the last Masked Rider movie in the Heisei era, which should be commemorated.
Masked Rider Den-O" is the starting point for me, as it taught me everything from almost zero.
I would like to express my gratitude to those who have supported me since then and still love me, and I would like to express that the existence of Masked Rider, which is a fiction in the real world, is true and eternal in our hearts, even though my performance time was limited. This may be a matter of course for everyone who loves Rider, but we hope that by making this film and watching it, you can share even a little of this feeling with us.
