Kamen Rider Kabuto The Movie: GOD SPEED LOVE (劇場版 仮面ライダーカブト GOD SPEED LOVE, Gekijōban Kamen Raidā Kabuto: Goddo Supīdo Rabu, "Masked Rider Kabuto The Movie: GOD SPEED LOVE") is a Japanese superhero Tokusatsu film that serves as the Summer Movie adaptation of Kamen Rider Kabuto and a commemoration of the franchise's 35th anniversary. The film was also double-billed with GoGo Sentai Boukenger The Movie: The Greatest PreciousIcon-crosswiki.

Set in an previous timeline to the series, the film explores the possible origins of the Shibuya Meteor Strike while the remainder of humanity struggle to save their planet from chaos.

The catchphrase of this film is "A future for this planet Earth. A deadly battle begins, with the existence of humankind at stake." (この地球ほしに、未来を。人類の存亡を賭けて、宇宙での死闘が始まる。, Kono hoshi ni, mirai wo. Jinrui no sonbō o kakete, uchū de no shitō ga hajimaru.)

Continuity and Placement[]

  • The film is set in an alternate continuity to the Kamen Rider Kabuto TV series, taking place in a world where the first meteor's impact evaporated all of Earth's oceans. While the film's ending implied it taking place in a previous timeline to the TV series, certain elements like Hiyori Kusakabe's origins, how Tendo obtained the Rider Belt, and the true nature of the Worms on Earth do not match with later story revelations in the series.

Synopsis[]

Plot[]

In 1999, an enormous meteor crashed onto Earth carrying extraterrestrial creatures known as Worm within it. These creatures took on the identities of real humans and then killed them. In order to counter this new threat, ZECT was formed, who in turn created the Masked Rider System to combat the Worms. The battles lasts over seven years, depleting Earth's resources and turning it into a barren wasteland. By present time, power struggles in ZECT have caused a new group, known as Neo-ZECT, to be created by Hidenori Oda. Daisuke Kazama and Shura Hokuto are also part of Neo-ZECT.

With three groups in existence (Neo-ZECT, ZECT and the Worms), Soji Tendo has decided to sell his power to either Neo-ZECT or ZECT, but his intentions are unclear. At the same time, ZECT has obtained intelligence about a large comet orbiting the vicinity of space. By building the Jacob's Ladder space station, they plan to capture this meteor and spread its water throughout Earth, replenishing the Earth’s oceans. The space station includes a function that works in conjunction with the Rider System's Clock Up function. Tendo joins Neo-ZECT after telling ZECT that he attempts to disband it from the inside and manipulates ZECT and Neo-ZECT against each other. When Neo-ZECT's plan to take over the space station is initiated, both groups’ true colors come to light. Tendo proceeds to enter the space station for his true motive on helping both sides was to foil ZECT's secret plan. Meanwhile, Daisuke has been killed at the hands of Shura who has betrayed Neo-ZECT. Oda attempts to fight off this trap, and he is able to kill Yaguruma. Chasing after Shura however, he meets ZECT's legendary Rider, Caucasus, and is defeated in a matter of seconds. Kagami has also decided to marry Hiyori and they hope to build a future together. Kagami is then chosen to activate the space station's Clock Up function and must leave, but he promises Hiyori he will come back.

Tendo has arrived on Jacob's Ladder first however, and he attempts to foil ZECT's hidden motive. After fighting Ketaros, they both fall off the space station due to the Clock Up function pulling through another meteor infested with Worms. Kabuto is able to survive thanks to the Kabuto Extender, but Ketaros dies upon re-entry into Earth's atmosphere. Tendo and Kagami receive news however, that Hiyori is on the point of dying due to the exposure to the meteor dust years ago and it is then that Tendo reveals he is Hiyori's brother. Holding the wedding ceremony in a hospital, Hiyori dies soon afterwards. At this point, Shura tells Tendo that ZECT has betrayed them and is allied with the Worms. ZECT plans to let the meteor crash onto Earth so that the Worms will conquer humanity. However, it seems that Caucasus and the leaders of ZECT are the only ones who know of this plan and attempted to silence her for overhearing their plans. Shura then dies from the wounds inflicted on her as Tendo and Kagami take it on as their mission to save humanity from this disaster.

Making it to the space shuttle in time, they meet Caucasus, who explains to them that the meteor is the medium to transfer Worms. The missiles within the shuttle will be used to destroy weak humans. Humanity will be taken over by the Worms because Caucasus believes he will protect and fight for the strongest and most beautiful, the belief of the rose. The majority of the battle is in Caucasus' favor; however when Caucasus activates Maximum Rider Power and prepares to kill Tendo with a Rider Kick, Kagami steps in the way and protects Tendo. Tendo is then able to use this time to steal the Hyper Zecter from Caucasus, forcing him into an ejection chamber and launching him into space. Tendo then puts Kagami back in an escape pod and sends him on his way back to Earth. However, Caucasus, while in the void of space, latches on to Kagami's escape pod and punches a hole into the window, killing Kagami. At the same time, Tendo becomes Hyper Kabuto and through the use of Hyper Clock Up, he reverses time to save Kagami and destroy Caucasus, blowing him up along with the missiles in the space shuttle.

Tendo then uses the Hyper Zecter's Hyper Clock Up to send the second meteor back in time and force it to crash into the first meteor. The result is a small fragment that only hits Shibuya, minimizing the damage and erasing the future in which the Earth's oceans are dried up. However, the shockwave caused by the two meteors crashing hits Tendo and sends him flying backwards towards Earth. Afterwards, Tendo lands in Shibuya and finds himself in the same situation he was in seven years ago. This time however, he gives his belt to the younger Tendo who is then able to save Hiyori. With the disastrous future erased, Tendo disappears as his youngest self grows up and lives a better life in the new timeline.

Errors[]

  • In 1999, Tendo receives his belt from his older self, while in the series, it was given to him by a Native.
  • Yagaruma does not lead Shadow, nor do his troops wear hints of gold on their suits.

Notes[]

  • This movie features the first appearance of Kabuto's Hyper Form, which would debut on the series a week later in episode 28 and an in-series transformation in episode 34.
    • This is the last summer film having the final form debut before the series.
  • The release was a box-office success and ranked 4th place on opening week.[1].
  • The meteorite carries a species of Worm that appear to be similar to the "Natives" of the TV series, which is likely and sensible if the movie is considered as a prequel to the series.
  • This is the first Kamen Rider Summer Movie to not be crediting Toshiki Inoue as main writer. Instead, Shoji Yonemura is credited as such.
