Trivia

For some reason, the members of Wonderful Aozora Association have already learned that Wataru is Kiva.
Wataru somehow has already known that Castle Doran has the ability to allow him travel to the year of 1986.
- Wataru even learns the existence of Jirou, Ramon, and Riki while he treats them as strangers in the TV series.
The movie foreshadows that humans cannot use a Kiva related Rider System.
Like Saga, Arc is named after a type of story/legend.
While Otoya fights against the Mummy Legendorga, the IXA mask is damaged. He later removes it and rushes to help Kiva to fight Arc.
The movie features Kiva Emperor's alternate form, flight style, before the form is used in the TV series.

Actor Trivia

Features many cameos from Den-O, including Naomi and Miura's actors, as well as the Imagin's voice actors. Momotaros' voice actor even says an "Ore sanjou" joke. It also lists Oshikawa Yoshifumi as a cameo role. He did a lot of stunt work for Den-O as well as playing a karate practitioner who gets assaulted in an episode.
Yamamoto Shouma later portrays Nobori Taiga / Kamen Rider Saga in the TV series.
Gal Sone is a famous competitive eater, she plays Sayaka (Medusa Legendorga's human form) in this movie.
