A group of archaeologists open a tomb that awakens horrible monsters, while journeyman Yusuke Godai is compelled to access a strange belt from the tomb to fight back against them. Also, a drunkard witnesses a murder by an unidentified lifeform near a church. Meanwhile, Yusuke is bothered by the idea of fighting and is unsure if it was right until he saw the daughter of one of the slain archeologists crying, making his reason to fight "to protect the smiles of people". This is the director's cut version of the first two episodes of the Kamen Rider Kuuga TV series.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This director's cut condenses the birth of a hero into a compelling standalone film, balancing intense monster action with a poignant character study. The focus on Yusuke's moral hesitation adds a layer of depth often missing in pure spectacle.

What lingers after the final fight is not the CGI, but the simple, powerful conviction to protect human happiness—a timeless core for any superhero tale. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Hidenori Ishida
