Viewing Notes

Was happy to view this one again since my previous viewing was on my phone while spending Christmas in Rapid. Not ideal! Also forgot to note that this is absolutely a Xmas film based on two separate KR series that mashup in the finale. I really love that the story opens during the week leading up to Christmas day then finishes with a party on the actual day. Wish this had been programmed prior to Christmas!

The first segment is the mystery with an pop idol (Asuka Shibuya) seeing her dead sister’s ghost. She hires the detective agency to investigate. Of course the agency is home to Kamen Rider Double. For some reason Kamen Rider Skull appears and wants to fight everyone. I love that suit so much and someday will find a figure of it.

The second segment ties into the tv series for KR Decade so it’s all confusing until ten other KR show up for a big brawl. In the finale these two stories merge for a bigger brawl with giant machines plus the Shocker troops and assorted colorful villains. It’s wonderful.
