Plot

"If God created this world in 6 days, then I will destroy it in 60 minutes, and create a paradise." Suddenly, a mysterious cult terrorist named S / Kamen Rider Eden, causes global panic as his numerous followers, the Abaddon Riders, place people in comas with a red gas-like substance in a series of several world-scale terrorist attacks. Aruto Hiden attempts to stop S, but is defeated with S taking the Zero-Two Progrisekey for his agenda. Aruto ends up in a virtual world the victims of the Abaddon Rider attacks ended up, meeting Akane Tojo. As Isamu Fuwa, AIMS, and the reformed MetsubouJinrai.net fight off the Abaddon Riders, Gai Amatsu, detains Makio Nodachi for selling their company’s tech to the enemy. Isamu meets with Aruto's humagear secretary, Is, who reveals that Aruto believed S is connected to Ark and ordered Is to tell the others and to not get involved in fear of losing her again. While Isamu and Jin are attacked by a fighter jet, the latter revealing the gas is actually nano-machines.

Everyone learns that S is be Rihito Isshiki, a specialist in AI technology who is connected to the Daybreak Incident. Horobi confronts As, who gave S the Eden Driver while adding that the man transferred his mind into his own technology. At the same time, Akane reveals to Aruto that S staged the challenge to use the ZeroTwo Progrisekey to create the Hellrise Progrisekey to destroy the world. Aruto, still connected to Zea, returns to the real while promises Akane to both stop S and give him a message from her. Reaching S with the Rise Hopper provided by Ikazuchi, Aruto battles S while Gai and his Humagear interrogators forced Makio to reveal everything he knew about ThinkNet, a dark website that S admins which is a haven for misanthropes who are using nanomachine avatar bodies via modified ZAIA Specs to enact their violent impulses as Abbadon Riders. As AIMs and Horobi locate ThinkNet to shut down the servers, helping them fill the blanks by using the Zero-Two Driver and Progrisekey, Izu’s access to Zea allows her to contact the original Is. The original tells Is to save Aruto and implants her memories into her new self, becoming Kamen Rider Zero-Two to stop Aruto when he was forced to use the activated Hellrise Progrisekey away from S to prevent its use at the cost of becoming a berserk Zero-One Hellrising Hopper.

The two are relayed an image that Horobi provide of Thinknet's server connected to a Humagear with a human brain, revealed to be Akane’s as Aruto learns that she died while being a test subject for Rihito’s nanomachines when Ark hacked them during the Daybreak Incident with Rihito digitizing her consciousness. Aruto deduces S’s paradise is meant for Akane and the victims of the Abbadon Rider attacks. Aruto relays Akane’s message that she is waiting for S in the other world. A remorseful S ends up being shot by Behru, one of the top Abbadon Riders, who reached the same conclusion that he and the other disciples were disposable pawns. Behru takes the Eden Driver and becomes Kamen Rider Lucifer with every intent to destroy the world while the other top Abaddon Riders head to ThinkNet to kill Akane.

As Aruto and Is fight Behru as Kamen Riders Zero-One and Zero-Two, the other Kamen Riders hold off the Abaddon Rider as S reaches the server to meet with Akane where they marry before triggering the server room’s self-destruct as Aruto and Is destroy Behru's Thousand Jacker with their Rider Kicks. The victims are restored while the Abaddon Riders are all arrested, the Kamen Riders go their separate ways.

Production

The script was written in February 2020,[8] and it takes place after the final episode of the television series.[9] Originally, it depicted an incident that happened within 60 minutes during the finale, but due to being filmed during the Covid-19 state of emergency and the change in release date, it was changed to take place 3 months after the finale.[10] The appearance of a new Is, Ark-One’s early appearance being changed to As and other details were altered.[11][12][8][13][14] Because of this, Ikazuchi and Naki which were originally not planned to appear were added to the film.[15][12]

Most of Es’s character speeches and roles in the story were derived from the Old Testament.[16]

The scenes in Hiden Intelligence office were shot before the series finale as the set was scheduled to be dismantled after filming was finished.[13]

Suit Design

The movie-exclusive form for Kamen Rider Zero-One "Hellrising Hopper" was created from repainting the "Shining Assault Hopper" suit that was used in the series itself.[17] The CGI grasshopper that appeared when the character transforms reuses the model that was created for Kamen Rider Zero-Two's transformation.[18]

Kamen Rider Lucifer was a last-minute addition created by repainting the suit used for Kamen Rider Eden.[19][20]

Theme song
