Kamen Rider Revice

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 seek to resurrect him by using Proto Vistamps to convert peoples' inner devils to their fold. Opposing Deadmans is an organization called Fenix, which has developed the Revice Driver for someone who has tamed their inner devil. Ikki Igarashi, who runs a sentō with his family, ends up acquiring the belt while forming a pact with his inner devil, Vice, to fight Deadmans together as Kamen Riders Revi and Vice.

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 his own inner demon, Kagero, takes over his body and obtains the means to transform into Kamen Rider Evil to defeat Ikki. In response, disgraced Fenix operative Hiromi Kadota gains the means to become Kamen Rider Demons to assist Revice against Deadmans. Eventually, Ikki 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 organization Weekend, led by the supposedly deceased inventor of the Vistamps and former Noah scientist, Masumi Karizaki.

Following Fenix's assault on Deadmans' base and recovery of Giff's casket, cultists Julio and Aguilera go on the run from Deadmans' leader, Orteca. Meanwhile, Kadota discovers a conspiracy within Fenix connecting them to Deadmans, but is seemingly murdered by Orteca, who becomes the second Kamen Rider Demons. However, a demon trapped inside the Demons Driver, Vail, breaks free, possesses the Igarashi siblings' father, Genta, and becomes Kamen Rider Vail to kill his host's children. Upon learning of their father's dark past as a former Noah operative, the Igarashi siblings discover they carry part of Giff's DNA, making them Giff's descendants, and that they unknowingly hastened the demon's revival over the course of their battles against Deadmans. Following Daiji’s victory against a dying Kagero and Orteca, Masumi's son George Karizaki retrieves the Demons Driver and uses it to become the third Kamen Rider Demons in emergency situations shortly before Orteca is defeated by Revice and devoured by Giff, who finally awakens.

The series is currently divided into three arcs:

• Episode 1 - 16 - Deadmans Saga: This arc marks the beginning of the Igarashi siblings' involvement with the conflict between the Fenix organization and the Deadmans cult, with the latter group seeking out Gifftex Deadmen to resurrect the demons' progenitor, Giff.
• Episode 17 - 28 - Orteca Saga: The Igarashi siblings have seemingly halted Giff's revival and gained allies in former cultist Julio and a third party called Weekend, but must now contend with Deadmans' leader, Orteca. In the process however, the siblings discover Fenix's director Hideo Akaishi is the founder of Deadmans, they are Giff's descendants due to their father being infused with the demon's cells while an agent of the Noah organization, and Orteca used them to revive Giff with each Deadman they defeated.
• Episode 29 - current: With Deadmans no more following Orteca's death, the Igarashi siblings must now contend with Akaishi and a resurrected Giff.

The Kamen Rider Revice trademark was registered by Toei on May 6, 2021.[1]

On July 27, 2021, Kamen Rider Revice was officially announced during a press conference alongside its cast.

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

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.[2]

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.[3] 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.[4]

Kamen Riders Revi and Vice made their debut in the crossover film Saber + Zenkaiger: Super Hero Senki and in a special film with the same title as the series double-billed with it. The events of the special film take place between episodes 3 and 4 of the series.[3]
