Saber + Zenkaiger: Superhero Senki (セイバー＋ゼンカイジャー:スーパーヒーロー戦記, Seibā + Zenkaijā: Supāhīrō Senki, lit. Superhero War Chronicle) is a Japanese superhero crossover film between Kamen Rider Saber and Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger, serving to commemorate both the Kamen Rider 50th Anniversary and Super Sentai 45th Anniversary. In the film, several veteran heroes across both franchises join forces alongside the Saber Riders and the Zenkaigers to fight against Asmodeus. The film was also accompanied by an "special" short film of Kamen Rider Revice, which featured early-bird appearances of both protagonists Kamen Riders Revi and Vice, ahead of their in-series debuts.

The catchphrase for this film is "Straightforward heroes, half of the century!" (ヒーロー一筋、半世紀！, Hīrō hitosuji, han-seiki!)

Synopsis

"I will decide; at full speed, non stop; this story's ending! (物語の結末は、全力全開で、俺が決める！, Monogatari no ketsumatsu wa, zenryoku zenkai de, ore ga kimeru!)"

―Kamen Rider Saber and Zenkaizer's combined catchphrase

Touma, Yuri and Mei somehow ended up in the World of Zenkaiger while four Zenkaigers, except Juran, ended up in the World of Saber. The reason for their swap is due to a man who wishes to rid the world of heroes. How does a male, teenage artist tie into this? And why are they send into different stories with previous Kamen Riders and Super Sentai Teams?

Continuity and Placement

• The film takes place after the events of the Movie Release Commemorative Combo Special.
  • Kamen Rider Saber: The film takes place after the events of the Special Chapter, which in turn takes place between Episode 39 and 40 in the account of the following factors:
    • Takes place after Kamen Rider Xross Saber's debut in Episode 38.
    • Takes place after the Shindai siblings siding with the Northern Base swordsmen in Episode 39.
    • Takes place before Episode 40 due to Rintaro and Kento allegedly recovering from their final battle with Solomon in Episode 41. Episodes 41 through 47 remains interlocked due to the ongoing storyline with Storious.
    • Takes place before Episode 43 as Touma does not recognize adult Luna in the movie and Ren Akamichi is not seen with Desast's scarf.
  • Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger: The film takes place after Episode 20, which featured the appearances of Kamen Rider Sabela and Durendal, and Asmodeus' awakening.
• Kamen Rider Revice: It has been stated that the film takes place after the third episode.

Plot

At the Sword of Logos' Agastya Base space station, the guardian Asmodeus rebels and takes control of all the books containing the Kamen Riders and Super Sentai's stories, merging them into one story. Meanwhile, Touma Kamiyama, Mei Sudo, and Yuri are transported to the world of Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger while Zenkaiger members Kaito Goshikida, Gaon, Magine, and Vroon are transported to the world of Kamen Rider Saber. Kamiyama's group encounter Juran while he is searching for his teammates, help him repel one of Tozitend's attacks, and meet a young boy called Shotaro. Regrouping at the Zenkaigers' headquarters, they make contact with Goshikida's group through Secchan and learn of what happened from Sophia.

Suddenly, Asmodeus uses his powers to send Goshikida and Rintaro Shindo to a world based on Journey to the West and Kamiyama, Juran, Sudo, and Shotaro to one based on Nansō Satomi Hakkenden. With help from several Riders and Sentai warriors they meet along the way, both groups get to the end of their respective stories and reunite to confront Asmodeus. However, he convinces Shotaro that both the Riders and Sentai groups should not exist as they always suffer over the course of their stories. Shotaro destroys his drawings, causing the Riders and Sentai to disappear. While vanishing, Kamiyama discovers he and his friends were part of a story as well instead of the real world before waking up in a world where they live peaceful lives and the battles they faced never happened. Realizing that facing hardships is what makes heroes human and that Shotaro is actually a young, time-displaced Shotaro Ishinomori, the creator of the Riders and Sentai's stories, Kamiyama finds and convinces him to create heroes again. Together, they create a new story called Super Hero Senki.

Concurrently, Asmodeus joins forces with the Riders and Sentai groups' enemies to take over the story worlds, only to be opposed by the Sword of Logos, Zenkaigers, Twokaizer, and their Rider and Sentai predecessors, who destroy the villains while Asmodeus is defeated by Kamen Riders Revi and Vice. Asmodeus absorbs his fallen allies' machinery to enlarge himself and transform into a dragon, but the Sentai warriors summon their mecha to join the Riders in destroying him. As the heroes return to their respective worlds, Kamen Rider 1 recognizes Shotaro as his creator. Though the latter realizes he is at a point in time where he is already dead, he rejoices knowing that his creations will continue inspiring others long after his death and promises to fulfill his dream of making hero stories before returning to his time. The Agastya Base's books are restored while Kamiyama, Sudo, and the Zenkaigers stop by the Candy Cafe Colorful to celebrate their victory and discuss Revi and Vice's story.

Errors

• The sound effect when Kamen Rider GrandZi-O summons Kabuto is cut off suddenly at the end when Kabuto is materialized.
• A cameraman shows up for seconds when the scene cut to the overview of Buster, Black, GekiRed, Red Mask, and RyuuRanger battle.
• The sound effects for the Geartlinger's finisher are incorrectly timed when Zenkaiser readies his finisher against Asmodeus.
• The Riders and Sentai change positions entirely towards the end of their respective roll calls.

About Shotaro Ishinomori

• Shotaro's older sister Yoshie Onodera had an important role in his early life, this was adapted into his relationship with Mei Sudo in this film.
• A biography book of Ishinomori appears in this movie.
• Ishinomori was in favor of giving a "bad ending" or a tragic fate to his superhero genre character, this was adapted into part of Asmodeus' plan.

Journey to the West

• The real-world Journey to the West is a 16th century Chinese fictional novel. The book itself has influenced the Sanzo Eyecon and Saiyuu Journey in Kamen Rider franchise.
• Kintaros as Zhu Bajie: Both Zhu Bajie in the original text and Kintaros are lazy.
• Urataros as Sha Wujing: Although in the original text Sha Wujing is a blue-skin demon, Japanese versions usually treated him as a kappa, a creature with tortoise shell.
• Ryutaros as Tang Sanzang: Tang Sanzang uses mantra to shrink Sun Wukong's ring in order to control him, a retelling of Ryutaros' trouble-maker attitude on Momotaros. Tang Sanzang's horse is also a dragon.

Notes

• According to producer Shinichiro Shirakura, Superhero Senki would be Toei's final crossover film between both franchises.
• This is the first Kamen Rider/Super Sentai film to premiere in the summer as a crossover instead of a double-billing, as Saber's film premiered in December 2020, while Zenkaiger's film premiered in February 2021.
• Despite Masaki Terasoma and Kenichi Suzumura reprising their Kamen Rider roles of Kintaros and Ryutaros, they do not reprise their Super Sentai roles of Kishiryu Tyramigo and Mashin Fire as the two Red Mecha. Though the mechas are featured in the movie, they are limited to silent roles.
• This film features the first on-screen crossover between the protagonists of both Kamen Rider Zero-One and Kamen Rider Saber with Syuichiro Naito and Fumiya Takahashi reprising their respective roles. The two were previously unable to appear in their own Movie War film in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the production of their own individual films and being released as a double-billing.
• This film features the reappearance of Kamen Rider 1’s original costume from the first 13 episodes of the 1971 show, which outside of manga, video games, and toys, has not been seen in the TV show or on film in 50 years.
• This film marks the first on-screen appearance of Luna from Kamen Rider Saber in her adult form, portrayed by Mayuu Yokota. She would later canonically debut as adult Luna in the TV series beginning from episode 44.
• A mannequin of Kamen Rider Shin was used during the gathering of the Riders and Rangers, with wooden pedestals able to be seen under his feet in certain shots. This was due to the suit's deterioration since its last usage, and current condition being too poor to be used to perform action sequences. As such, aside from the initial scene where all of the main Riders and Sentai Reds gather, Shin is not featured in any of the subsequent fight scenes in this film.
