note Although Hibiki has far more if you count ones which were only mentioned, and technically Wizard has approximately 7 billion, as the summer movie is set in a place where everyone on Earth has Rider magic. Some series feature huge numbers of Riders, with the most extreme examples being Kamen Rider Ryuki and its 13 Riders and Kamen Rider Gaim with 18. It typically has a smaller main cast than the relatively more well-known (in the West) Super Sentai (the title of each series refers to a single main Rider instead of Super Sentai's Five-Man Band), but not always.

Another important theme is that the hero regrets the act of fighting, but is forced to do so for the sake of humanity this is shown by the iconic 'teardrops' coming from the eyes of the helmet. While the interpretation of this theme can vary wildly from year to year, every single Kamen Rider series embodies this in one way or another.

The central concept is that a lone hero undergoes some great tragedy at the hands of an evil far bigger than they are ( usually a large organization with a secret and sinister agenda), but rises to use the technology of the villains against them and as a general force for good. Shows such as its brother-show Super Sentai, Devilman, Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, and to go even further Sailor Moon (and the Magical Girl Warrior genre as a whole) wouldn't be possible without Kamen Rider, just to name a few.

Upon its release, the movie was the second highest selling family movie of the week coming in at 4th place. Following the tradition of all Heisei Kamen Rider movies, it is a double bill with 2006's Super Sentai movie, GoGo Sentai Boukenger The Movie: 'The Greatest Precious'. The film was produced by Ishimori Productions and Toei, the producers of all the previous television series and films in the Kamen Rider franchise. Seven years after the meteor hit Earth, ZECT pretends to use a passing comet to refill the Earth's oceans, while in fact they are pulling another meteor to crash on Earth, one large enough to wipeout all of humanity.
