Kamen Rider Den-O & Kiva The Movie: Climax
Deka (劇場版 仮面ライダー電王&キバ
クライマックス刑事(デカ), Gekijōban Kamen Raidā Den'ō ando
Kiba Kuraimakkusu Deka
?) is a Japanese tokusatsu film in the Kamen Rider
franchise. Climax Deka is the second film to feature
the characters of the television drama Kamen Rider
Den-O and the first to feature the characters of Kamen Rider
Kiva. It opened in theaters on April 12, 2008 as part of
the Kamen Rider Spring Festival (春の仮面ライダー祭, Haru no
Kamen Raidā Matsuri
?). In its first weekend, it took the
top spot at the Japanese box offices,[1]
unseating the Japanese release of Cloverfield.[2] In the
end, it grossed 730 million yen, over double the normal revenue for
a Kamen Rider film.[3]
Plot
Set after the events of Kamen Rider Den-O, Ryoutaro and
the DenLiner gang have set up a detective agency called the
DenLiner Police (デンライナー署, Denrainā
Sho
?) who seek to keep the Imagin that
survived the Junction Point in check after an Imagin stole a spare
Den-O Pass from Owner while he was training. While pursuing the
Pink Rabbit Imagin via car chase, they cross paths with the Horse
Fangire as Den-O and the Tarōs battle them, killing the two
monsters and not finding the Den-O Pass on either. Soon after, the
DenLiner Police are joined by detective Kazuya Suzuki, who tells
them of an "Evil Organization" that is making itself known in the
criminal underworld. After R-Ryotaro's "arrest spree", Ryotaro and
Kazuya encounter Wataru Kurenai and Shizuka
as they are suspiciously digging up items for a new violin varnish.
After a small spat with U-Ryotaro and an unintentional possession
of Wataru by Momotaros, Ryotaro and Kazuya locate the base of the
Evil Organization after Wataru tips them off. There, before being
chased out, they find Yuto with the organization's leader, the
Imagin Negataros, and a man that Kazuya recognizes as wanted
criminal Seiya Kuroki. Acting on his own, Kazuya attempts to arrest
Kuroki, only to be ambushed by the Clown Imagin. However, with a
drunk Deneb and Naomi as a distraction, Yuto, who has been working
incognito, attempts to free Kazuya. Before he can ambush Sarah with
a metal bat, he is possessed by Urataros who manages to
successfully woo her and wrest the gun away. Yuto kicks Urataros
out as he fights her and the Clown Imagin as Kuroki arrives, with
K-Ryotaro providing backup. Negataros takes his leave while
activating the detonation device with everyone making it out.
At the DenLiner, after Kazuya apologises for almost getting
everyone killed and explaining his reasons to be avenging his
father Kazuma, Yuto reveals Negataros's plans. Despite telling them
that he's too strong, the DenLiner Police decide to attack at full
strength together. The next day, Negataros begins to set his plan
in motion with Kamen Riders Den-O and Zeronos, along with their
Imagin partners, standing in his way while Suzuki arrests Kuroki
after the DenLiner takes him and his posse away from the fight.
However, Negataros uses the Den-O Pass to become Nega Den-O as the
fight begins. As the Tarōs deal with the Fangires, Zeronos battles
the Clown Imagin while Den-O dukes it out with Nega Den-O. Nega
Den-O easily gains the upper hand against all four Den-O forms, but
before he can finish him off, Kamen Rider Kiva arrives to turn the
tables as Den-O Climax Form joins him in a Double Rider Kick. The impact
forces Negataros out of his Rider form. Refusing to accept defeat,
Nega Den-O escapes in the Nega DenLiner with DenLiner and ZeroLiner
in pursuit. Castle Doran joins the fight as all three giants
destroy the Nega DenLiner, taking out Negataros for good. Soon
after, Ryotaro takes Kazuya to 1986 to see Kazuma as he was
interviewing Otoya on an investigation, giving the young detective
closure. Though they succeeded in their mission to stop Negataros,
Momotaros decides to keep the DenLiner Police going as he considers
being a cop a cool thing. After they succeed in cornering a couple
of crooks, Deneb attempts to ask for Yuto to join the DenLiner
Police, failing to see the crooks they cornered escape with the
DenLiner Police and Yuto chasing after them.[4][5][6]

Short
film
Alongside Climax Deka, the animated short
Momotaros's Let's Go Kiva! (モモタロスのキバっていくぜ!,
Momotarosu no Kiba'tte Ikuze!
?) was shown as a double feature and is
a Momotion Picture (モモーションピクチャー, Momōshon Pikuchā
?), much like Momotaros's Summer
Vacation in using live action photographs, 3D computer graphics,
and traditional animation.[7] In it,
Kivat describes the history of motion pictures until Momotaros
knocks him off and wonders what kind of movie they're going to be
in, imagining a pirate movie. But the other Tarōs have
different ideas of their own, from Urataros' Romance film to
Kintaros's Wabi-sabi and
then Ryutaros' animal movie. By the time Kivat throws
in his own ideal movie, a biopic telling his life story from 22 years
ago, the credits to the short start up and he bites Momotaros in
frustration while the other Tarōs leave to see the movie.
