Kamen Rider Geats (仮面ライダーギーツ, Kamen Raidā Gītsu) is a Japanese tokusatsu series that serves as the 33rd installment in the Kamen Rider franchise and the fourth entry in the Reiwa era.
Ace Ukiyo (浮世 英寿, Ukiyo Ēsu) is a mysterious man who was born in the year 21 BCE as the son of a previous DGP navigator Mitsume and an unnamed previous "Dezashin" (デザ神, Desire Deity), who acquired the ability to reincarnate from his subconscious need to find his mother. After competing in the first DGP and its subsequent tournaments, unaware of his parents' past involvements, he gained additional abilities and earned the title of Dezashin for his undefeated winning streak throughout his succeeding reincarnations across the centuries while attempting to wish for Mitsume's return so he can ask her why she granted him his initial ability. In the present, after losing his pet dog Constantine in a car accident and graduating from high school, Ace becomes a celebrity, referred to as the "Star of the Stars of the Stars" (スター・オブ・ザ・スターズ・オブ・ザ・スターズ, Sutā Obu Za Sutāzu Obu Za Sutāzu), after winning the "Daybreak" DGP and later makes DGP staff members Tsumuri and Girori part of his family after winning the "Encounter" DGP, intending to use the wish he will gain from winning the "Conspiracy" DGP to further infiltrate the organization and uncover the reason behind Mitsume's disappearance.[1][2][3][4][5][6] As rules are put in place to limit him, his reincarnations come to light before Ace declares war on the DGP upon discovering what the tournament organizer Suel did to his parents.[7][8][9][10][11] Ace manages to prevent Suel from erasing the world by fully awakening the power he inherited from his mother, becoming the Creator God (創世の神, Sōsei no Kami) and recreating the world based from his memory with everyone aware of the now absent DGP's existence.[12] Ever since acquiring the power of the Boost MarkIII Buckle, Ace prepares his death at the hands of Black Tsumuri, to revive himself as a god per Mitsume's tips, and properly destroys Suel, thereby erasing the DGP and restoring peace properly.[13]
Utilizing the Desire Driver, Ace can transform into the kitsune-themed Kamen Rider Geats. While transformed, he is adorned with the Geats Tail (ギーツテイル, Gītsu Teiru) scarf. His primary Form Raise Buckles are Magnum and Boost, which allow him to assume Magnum Form (マグナムフォーム, Magunamu Fōmu) and Boost Form (ブーストフォーム, Būsuto Fōmu) respectively. He can also use the Magnum and Boost Buckles at once to assume either Magnum Boost Form (マグナムブーストフォーム, Magunamu Būsuto Fōmu) or Boost Magnum Form (ブーストマグナムフォーム, Būsuto Magunamu Fōmu). Magnum Form first appears in the film Kamen Rider Revice the Movie: Battle Familia.

However as they were able to avert the crisis on their own, the future Ace became convinced to trust humans once again and returned to his original timeline.[18]

The Desire Grand Prix (デザイアグランプリ, Dezaia Guran Puri, DGP) is a cult-like totalitarian organization which governs the future, where Earth was ruined and abandoned and the entire human race exists as data beings, that hosts a survival reality show of the same name that can be viewed across time and space.[48][17] Originally, the competitors only fought for fame and glory with no casualties, their only prize being a gold coin and recognition as the strongest warriors of their time. This changed when the organization decided to increase the stakes by recruiting players to become Kamen Riders and defeat the mysterious "Jyamato" in a series of tournaments in exchange for granting the winner's wish. Once a chosen participant joins, they are bound by the game's rules, such as protecting civilians from Jyamato, and are forced to keep playing until they are either killed, removed from reality, disqualified, or find a replacement and returned to their regular lives with no memory of the DGP nor motivation towards fulfilling their wish.[2][21][37][3]
During the "Divergence" DGP, new rules are instated in response to Ace's winning streak and Girori's misconduct, including allowing viewers to vote for the winner of each round and the players having to determine and eliminate the player designated as the "Dezastar" (デザスター, Dezasutā, Desire Star), who has been given secret orders from the DGP staff before they reach the final round and automatically win the season.[7][42] However, Beroba's faction and the Jyamato steal the Game Master's Vision Driver and replace the DGP with a full-scale invasion-themed survival series called the Jyamato Grand Prix (ジャマトグランプリ, Jamato Guran Puri, JGP).[7][49][48][50] Suel eventually changes the game's format into a second season of the Desire Royale where the winner gets to decide the fate of the DGP and the world with the additional rule that those who get eliminated are forever banned from becoming Kamen Riders.[11] However, it turns out to be part of the Grand End (グランドエンド, Gurando Endo), an emergency initiative that the entire management will return to their original world and leaving those behind their memories wiped out.[44]
With Suel's death, Ace erases the DGP from existence and undoes their damage, with Ziin, Kyuun, and Tsumuri being spared, and Girori voluntarily letting himself be erased along with the staff who are loyal to Suel. To dedicate Ace's sacrifice, the DGP is reformed under Ziin's new direction.[13]
Each participant carries a Desire Driver (デザイアドライバー, Dezaia Doraibā) belt, which can combine with a personalized ID Core (IDコア, Ai Dī Koa)[b] disc to transform them into a base Entry Form (エントリーフォーム, Entorī Fōmu)[c] Kamen Rider, and a Spider Phone (スパイダーフォン, Supaidā Fon), which can switch between Phone Mode (フォンモード, Fon Mōdo) and Spider Mode (スパイダーモード, Supaidā Mōdo). The Riders can also equip their Desire Driver with one to two Raise Buckles; which they can earn from Mission Boxes (ミッションボックス, Misshon Bokkusu) by defeating Jyamato, completing Secret Missions (シークレットミッション, Shīkuretto Misshon), or getting help from their Supporters (サポーター, Sapōtā), fans from the future; to gain additional armor with multiple configurations,[2] with rare Jyamato offering stronger Raise Buckles.[20]
The Supporters utilize Raise Riser Cards (レイズライザーカード, Reizu Raizā Kādo) in conjunction with the Laser Raise Riser (レーザーレイズライザー, Rēzā Reizu Raizā) raygun to transform into a customized Kamen Rider form that embodies the user's desires.[7][49][48][50] A Supporter with the DGP's premium membership can use a dark copy of their Raise Riser Card called a Black Raise Riser Card (ブラックレイズライザーカード, Burakku Reizu Raizā Kādo) to transform into a Jyamato-esque Premium (プレミアム, Puremiamu) warrior form.[51]

The Game Master (ゲームマスター, Gēmu Masutā) possesses one to manage the DGP's system while Niramu possesses the second.[49][48]

Following this tournament's end, Win resolves to become more than a silent non-player Rider in the "Conspiracy" DGP while Girori tasks him with sabotaging Ace.[4][24] However, the other Kamen Riders learn of Win's motives when Michinaga catches him in the act of sabotaging Ace, resulting in Win eventually losing his DGP privileges for leaking vital information on the organization to Ace and being turned into a GM Rider by Girori,[14][35] who he thought to have killed him in an attempt to destroy Ace.[40] However, Win survived Girori's attempt but suffers heavy injuries, until Suel recovers him during the second Desire Royale tournament.

However, when DGP found about this retaliation and caught Ace's father, Mitsume was able to hide her son's existence from them, before being caught and forcibly turned into the Creation Goddess to power the organization's wish-granting system, at the cost of the desires of eliminated DGP players through abusing her ability. Although she can temporarily regain her free will to help her son, such as granting the means to create the Boost MarkII Buckle along with reversing Suel's attempt to simply wish Ace out of existence. Ultimately, Mitsume sacrifices her life force to unlock her son's full potential of his birth power.[3][35][9][34][10][15][12]
Mitsume is portrayed by Nana Isaki (井咲 奈々, Isaki Nana) and voiced by Yuka Terasaki (寺崎 裕香, Terasaki Yuka).
Suel (スエル, Sueru) is the DGP's executive producer who rebranded the DGP into a reality show following the first tournament, and forcibly turned Mitsume into the Creation Goddess as well as banished her lover, Ace's father.[34] Suel mostly observed the DGP games from the shadows until Michinaga won the JGP and a revived Ace formally declared war on the DGP. This convinces Suel to host a second Desire Royale to give the two men and the other Kamen Riders a chance to decide the fate of the DGP.[11] But the tournament is revealed to be a distraction Suel devised to get the Kamen Riders to destroy each other while he arranges for the DGP to transfer to another period, intending to erase the world.[15] But he is defeated by GeatsIX, deciding to see the world Ace intends to create while biding his time.[12] He would later return after the defeat of his lackey Zitt to declare a final DGP.[31] However, he cannot depower nor erase Ace from existence, and is properly killed by him.[13]
Although a fellow user of the Vision Driver, Suel assumes the Kamen Rider forms of his deceased DGP staff, with his forms being variants from their previous users:
Suel is portrayed by Masashi Takada (高田 将司, Takada Masashi) and voiced by Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (松岡 禎丞, Matsuoka Yoshitsugu), who also voices the Laser Raise Riser and the Vision and Zillion Driver systems.
Zitt (ジット, Jitto) is a Game Master who supervises the bad endings to ensure all participants always lose the contest as Suel's right-hand man. He is tasked to retrieve Tsumuri for the DGP while eliminating Ace and his allies as Chirami's replacement, and attempt to deceive Keiwa into DGP's thrall.[57] He also provided Beroba and Kekera with Black Raise Riser Cards to assume stronger, Jyamato-like forms that are not designated as Kamen Riders, giving them an edge against Michinaga by bypassing the boon from his wish while also able to overpower Riders with regular forms.[51] While Tsumuri is in the Creation Goddess state before her escape and reverts to normal, Zitt takes a sample from her tears to create the power of a Destruction Goddess. Despite being defeated by Geats, he let himself be absorbed by Suel.[31]

The Raise Buckles (レイズバックル, Reizu Bakkuru) are a series of belt buckle-like items used by the Riders in the DGP to access new powers and abilities. Using a Raise Buckle on the Desire Driver's right-hand side affects the Rider's upper body while using one on the left-hand side affects their lower body. If two Raise Buckles are used at once for the Dual On (ヅアルオン, Duaru On) combining function, a Rider can switch both sides of the Desire Driver to the opposite side via the Revolve On (リヴォルヴオン, Rivorufu On) rotating function.
The two primary types of Raise Buckles are the plentiful small-sized Armed (アームド, Āmudo) Raise Buckles, which grant the players a corresponding Armed Weapon (アームドウエポン, Āmudo Uepon), and the rare large-sized Form (フォーム, Fōmu) Raise Buckles, which allow the players to assume armor-based forms. Unlike the Armed Raise Buckles, the Form Raise Buckles' designs have a matching center design denoting their primary halves. As these Raise Buckles are difficult to find normally, most of them can be found quickly through either Secret Missions or emergency situations. Additionally, there are the special Legend Rider (レゲンドライダー, Rejendo Raidā) Raise Buckles, which allow the players to assume armor forms that grant abilities and weaponry based on past Kamen Riders.[58]

While transformed, she is adorned with the Hakubi Purity (ハクビピュリティ, Hakubi Pyuriti) faceplate, which grants an increased sixth sense.[11]
During the "Creation" DGP, Sara initially planned to live with Neon to help her adjust her own life and so Keiwa can live at their former home.[57] However, Kekera and Beroba have Daichi secretly infect Sara with amounts of parasite Jyamato, and set up her presumed death as a catalyst to drive both Michinaga and Keiwa apart when the former accidentally, seemingly murders her to his horror.[45] In truth, Sara is transported and entrapped alongside other victims of Stage 2 parasite Jyamato inside the Tree of Knowledge (知恵の樹, Chie no Ki).[27] While revived alongside their parents through Tsumuri granting Keiwa's wish to revive everyone killed in the DGP, she and her parents end up being killed again by Kamen Rider Tarbon.[28] However, she is the first to be revived thanks to a serum created by Daichi.[29] With the DGP erased at cost of losing the memory of Ace's existence, Sara made her multiple wishes on her own.[13]

After the monster is mortally injured by Kamen Riders Na-Go and Kyuun,[33][34] he allows the Dunkleosteus Jyamato to devour him so the monster can fully heal, with the Jyamato adopting Archimedel's form and personality as a result.[47]
The Dunkleosteus Jyamato, acting out on Archimedel's ideology, would make his presence known in the Desire Royale when he grabs Daichi's ID Core before Michinaga could destroy it.[55] The Dunkleosteus Jyamato is then recruited by Beroba and Kekera to attack Sara as part of the latter's plan to force Keiwa to actively participate. But the Jyamato is destroyed by Ace and Michinaga, with Archimedel ceasing to exist.[44] However, his work is continued by Daichi in the "Creation" DGP.[57]

After the Desire Royale ended and Ace recreated the world, Daichi acquires Archimedel's research data and uses it to turn himself into the Marrella Jyamato (マーレラジャマト, Mārera Jamato) before creating more dangerous Jyamato variants as part of his plan to become a Jamashin and create a cult.[57][45] However, in retaliation for infecting Sara with a Stage 2 parasite Jyamato where Michinaga accidentally murders her by mistake, Daichi suffers a near-death experience and was about to be killed by a fallen Keiwa, until a worried Ace prevents his fallen friend from going too far and sends Daichi to the hospital under his custody.[51][28] Ultimately, as an atonement to make up his mistake at Ace's behalf, Daichi mass-produces a serum to revive and free innocent casualties from the previous events, starting from Sara from the Tree of Knowledge to return Keiwa to the side of good.[29] With the DGP erased at cost of losing the memory of Ace's existence, Daichi fulfilled his wish to make humanity co-exist with the Jyamato peacefully.[13]
