Story

• Under Smart Brain's control, the Orphenoch run the world while humanity is on the run. Two Rider Gears are created to threaten the humans that they are unstoppable.
• Faiz, Inui Takumi, is presumably dead after he was assaulted by an army of Riotroopers.
• Rumors of Faiz is the only Savior is spreading in order to bring hope to the remaining humans: Someday Faiz will awake, there will be peace in the world like before.
• With Takumi gone, Kiba is on a quest to seek the coexist between humanity and Orphenoch.
• Takumi returns to his role as Faiz. He reunites with Mari and Kiba.
• Kiba abandons his ideals and fights Takumi as Kamen Rider Oga after witnessing the death of Yuka and Kaidou.
• Takumi promises Kiba that he will take up his ideals to bring peace between humanity and Orphenoch.

Kamen Riders

Riotroopers (ライオトルーパー)

• An army of Riders following Smart Brain's orders to eliminate the humans.

Smart Brain creates two Rider Gears codenamed as Emperor's Belt.

Kamen Rider Psyga (仮面ライダーサイガ)

• Based on the Greek letter Psi Ψ.

Kamen Rider Oga (仮面ライダーオーガ)

• Alternate spellings are Ouga, Orga.
• Based on the Greek letter Omega Ω. The name is probably a shortened version of Omega, O__ga. It's pronunciation is also like the O-Medals from OOO, which would fit in with the O theme of the Rider. His activation code is 000, which also looks like O's.
• There is a theory the name should be Ouga, which uses the kanji 王我 which mean "ruler" and "self". Since these are called the Emperor's Belts, there is some credibility to this theory. If this were the case, then Psyga would be "I am Psi" and Oga would be "I am O(mega)" or "I am the king" depending on one's interpretation.

Orphenoch

Butterfly Orphenoch (バタフライオルフェノク)

Giraffe Orphenoch (ジラフオルフェノク)

Longhorn Orphenoch (ロングホーンオルフェノク)

Pelican Orphenoch (ペリカンオルフェノク)

Wild Boar Orphenoch (ワイルドボアオルフェノク)

Slug Orphenoch (スラッグオルフェノク)

Mole Orphenoch (モールオルフェノク)

Moose Orphenoch (ムースオルフェノク)

Lion Orphenoch (ライオンオルフェノク)

Elasmotherium Orphenoch (エラスモテリウムオルフェノク)

Guinness World Record

At the time, had the most extras in the cast for a single movie. There were 10,000 extras at the Saitama Super Arena. This was out of a total of 90,000 applicants.

In the end credits, their names spell "Thank you!" in the theatrical cut and "See you again!" in the director's cut.

Biblical references

Paradise Lost refers to an epic poem about the fall of man from the Bible. There is talk of Faiz being a savior, who will come back to life and bring peace to the world. This is unlike Jesus being the Messiah and dying for our sins only to be brought back to life. There's also the Mari/Mary similarity.
