Kamen Rider Geats

Kamen Rider Geats (仮面ライダーギーツ, Kamen Raidā Gītsu) is a Japanese drama series, the 33rd entry of Toei Company's Kamen Rider metaseries and the fourth series in the Reiwa period. The series premiered on September 4, 2022, joining Avataro Sentai Donbrothers and later, Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger in the Super Hero Time lineup following the finale of Kamen Rider Revice, before concluding on August 27, 2023.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Kamen Rider Gotchard would later air in its place the following week.

Summary

The Desire Grand Prix (DGP) is a survival game overseen by an organization of the same name, where players must protect the city from a mysterious enemy called Jyamato. Each participant is bound by the game's rules to continue playing until they die or are eliminated. The winner is rewarded with "the right to bring an ideal world to life", and so only true heroes who win the competition can realize their desired reality.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Among the participants are Ace Ukiyo, a mysterious man and the DGP's undefeated champion who competes as Kamen Rider Geats, his rival Michinaga Azuma, a construction worker who competes as Kamen Rider Buffa, graduate student Keiwa Sakurai who competes as Kamen Rider Tycoon, and social media influencer Neon Kurama who competes as Kamen Rider Na-Go. As the group fight the Jyamato to survive and the monsters grow stronger, the truth about the DGP and its creators is revealed.

With the exception of Daybreak (黎明, Reimei), which serves as both the prologue and epilogue of the series, the series is divided into six arcs, each covering a different season of the DGP:
