Story
Shortly after Shinnosuke Tomari (Ryoma Takeuchi), Kamen Rider Drive, eradicates the Earth of the 108 Roidmudes, he is put on a special assignment to investigate paranormal activity elsewhere in the city. He heads to the temple Daitenkū-ji to speak with witnesses Akari Tsukimura (Hikaru Ohsawa) and Onari (Takayuki Yanagi), but as he is interrogating them, a Gamma appears and steals an Eyecon from the temple, prompting Takeru Tenkūji (Shun Nishime), Kamen Rider Ghost, to fight it, even though to Shinnosuke it seems that Kamen Rider Ghost is fighting no one at all as he cannot see the Gamma, and tries to stop Kamen Rider Ghost. Along the way, Go Shijima (Yu Inaba), Kamen Rider Mach, and Makoto Fukami (Ryosuke Yamamoto), Kamen Rider Specter, join the battle, but a wormhole opens up and sucks in both Shinnosuke and Takeru who are sent back in time 10 years to 2005. It is the days leading up to the death of Takeru's father Ryū, and he tries to stop his father's impending death, unaware that his actions are changing history, and now in the present time the Roidmudes are still wreaking havoc on the world.
Casting and production
Japanese comedian Kendo Kobayashi provides the voice for the film's main antagonist, the Da Vinci Gamma. Kobayashi said that he was always a fan of Kamen Rider as a child, having fond memories watching reruns of the original Kamen Rider and watching up to The New Kamen Rider (Skyrider). The film's other new antagonists, the Raphael Gamma and the Michelangelo Gamma, are voiced by Jiro and Shinobu Hasegawa of the owarai comedy duo Sissone, respectively. It was both men's first attempt at doing voiceover work.
The film also briefly features Kamen Rider Ghost's third Kamen Rider character, Kamen Rider Necrom, prior to his debut in the TV series.
