Kamen Rider Revice (仮面ライダーリバイス, Kamen Raidā Ribaisu) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama and the 32nd entry of Toei Company's Kamen Rider metaseries. It is the third series to debut during the Reiwa period and commemorates the 50th anniversary of the franchise. The series premiered on September 5, 2021, joining Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger and later, Avataro Sentai Donbrothers in the Super Hero Time line-up following Kamen Rider Saber's finale. The series concluded on August 18, 2022, and was succeeded by Kamen Rider Geats.\n

The series revolves around animals/dinosaurs/insects/birds/prehistoric creatures and demons. It also centered on the theme of deal with the devil, first introduced by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in Faust, as well as motifs of genetic memory.\n

\n\n

Premise

\n\n

In 1971, a military organization called NOAH led an expedition in Latin America and discovered the remains of the first devil Giff and an artifact from which they developed Vistamps. In the present, Giff's remains are in the possession of a NOAH splinter faction called Deadmans, a devil-worshiping cult who seeks to resurrect him by using Proto Vistamps to convert peoples' inner demons to their fold. Opposing Deadmans is an organization called Fenix, which has developed the Revice Driver for someone who has tamed their inner demon. Ikki Igarashi, who runs a sentō with his family, ends up acquiring the belt while forming a pact with his inner demon, Vice, to fight Deadmans together as Kamen Riders Revi and Vice.\n

Ikki's younger brother Daiji, a Fenix operative who was intended to become Revice but failed to out of fear, begins to avoid Ikki until he is possessed by his inner demon, Kagero, who obtains the means to transform into Kamen Rider Evil to defeat Ikki, who helps Daiji overcome Kagero's control and become Kamen Rider Live. Later, Ikki and Daiji's younger sister, Sakura, joins the fray after obtaining the means to become Kamen Rider Jeanne and awakening her inner demon, Lovekov, from the secret resistance group Weekend.\n

Production

The Kamen Rider Revice trademark was registered by Toei on May 6, 2021.\n

On July 27, 2021, Kamen Rider Revice was officially announced during an online production announcement conference alongside its cast.\n

The opening theme song \"liveDevil\" is performed by the vocal and dance group Da-ice collaborating with Subaru Kimura.\n

Kamen Rider Revi's main vehicle, a hoverbike that Kamen Rider Vice can transform into, is based on the real life XTurismo hoverbike developed by A.L.I. Technologies.\n

Initially, the original concept for Revice was that all of the past Kamen Rider series took place in their own TV series. However, due to Kamen Rider Revice guest starring in Kamen Rider Saber, the staff decided to create a new concept inspired by Kamen Rider Den-O and Kamen Rider Zi-O instead. Another concept considered for the series was a \"post-COVID-19 pandemic road trip\" story wherein Revi would explore a new era in the aftermath of the pandemic, with the idea of \"moving forward\" being a central theme. However, difficulties from the pandemic itself made it difficult to execute, resulting in it being changed to a family-themed drama, reflecting how lockdowns have allowed families staying together more opportunities to bond with each other.\n

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

\n\n

Sakura Igarashi's actor, Ayaka Imoto, tested positive for COVID-19 on February 28, 2022, and recovered on March 7, 2022.\n

Controversy

One of Kamen Rider Revice's assistant producers filed a complaint to the General Support Union (総合サポートユニオン, Sōgō Sapōto Yunion), a trade union that fights for workers' rights, regarding her position in the Kamen Rider series as a whole ever since her promotion into her current position. Among the addressed problems are sexual harassment, unpaid overtime, and the chief producer overlooking her problems and not taking them seriously. Despite the hardships she endured, the assistant producer assured that Revice's cast members are easy to work with and unrelated to her problems.\n

Films

Kamen Riders Revi and Vice made their first appearance as a cameo in the crossover film Saber + Zenkaiger: Super Hero Senki, along with a special film of the same title as the series double-billed with it. The events of the special film take place between episodes three and four of the series.\n
