In a bleak near‑future, a corporate entity known as Smart Brain has risen to global dominance, reshaping society under its cold logic. The majority of the population—about ninety percent—has been transformed into Orphnochs, a new breed that threatens the fragile remnants of humanity. The world hums with a restless tension, a blend of high‑tech sheen and desperate yearning for a chance to breathe free again.

At the heart of this turmoil is Takumi Inui, once celebrated as the savior behind the mask of Kamen Rider Faiz. Believed lost after a violent encounter, he now drifts on the edges of the conflict, his true identity obscured and his memories fragmented. When the call of the resistance reaches his ears, the spark of his former purpose begins to stir, hinting at a resurgence of the hero they thought gone.

Leading the human opposition is Mari Sonoda, a determined figure who has gathered a disparate group of rebels hoping to secure the enigmatic Emperor Belts—devices said to hold the key to ending the war. Their covert efforts to tip the balance are shadowed by the arrival of a new, formidable force: Kamen Rider Psyga. This enigmatic warrior, summoned by Smart Brain, threatens to shatter any fragile hopes of peace before they can take root.

The film’s tone is a mix of gritty dystopia and kinetic spectacle, where sleek technology clashes with raw human resolve. Themes of identity, memory, and the search for redemption pulse beneath the surface, inviting viewers to wonder whether a single spark can ignite a lasting change in a world teetering on the brink.
