 In a desperate situation, Kobayakawa Yuki-san, playing Night Shadow Misa, battles fiercely against Kuga Reira-san, who plays Ara Kune, as the powerful Bicorn Beetle.

 ’Ugh! This power idiot!!’

 ’Hmph, is that a compliment for me?’

 For Ara Kune, the Bicorn Beetle, with its strength surpassing even the strongest threads, was a natural enemy.

 As expected from the last Driver created. In terms of power, it’s the strongest Driver by design.

 Next to that battle, a creature from another world, Chijou, starts attacking the civilians.

 ’Ahhh!’

 ’Ugh!’

 With a loud scream, Chijou is knocked away by a punch.

 Oh, wait, that’s not a civilian; it’s Kaede-senpai.

 A few laughs come from the audience.

 ”If it’s Morikawa, it’s possible.”

 ”Very realistic.”

 ”This is definitely a serious scene.”

 ”Morikawa-chan wants to help the Drivers!”

 ”Breaking news: a civilian stronger than the Drivers is here.”

 ”There’s no way the veteran board member Chijou, also known as Chinpou-Suki, would lose to a regular Chijou.”

 ”Is this the power of someone who holds the Ochinchin sommelier qualification?”

 ”As a member of the board, I’m overjoyed.”

 ”Maybe we should just let that guy handle everything.”

 As the scene shifts again, Toa-chan, playing Kagami Natsuki, feels his fingertips tremble slightly.

 ’I… am…’

 Kagami recalls his past like a revolving lantern.

 Memories with his mom, memories since entering SYUKUJYO, and memories with the other Drivers. Finally, what Kagami remembered was the back of Kenzaki as he fought.

 ’You should just fall down… but you’re still getting up?’

 The evil god said so, but no matter how I looked at it, he was covered in injuries, yet Kagami was the first to stand up.

 ’…Yeah, no matter how painful or tough it is, there’s meaning in getting back up.’

 Those were Kenzaki’s words.

 A few girls showed dreamy expressions at the sight of Kagami’s eyes, which shone with determination, barely visible through his bangs.

 ’Tachibana! Kamishiro!! I wasn’t the only one who felt frustrated back then!!’

 At Kagami’s passionate shout, Kamishiro Hajime, played by Tenga-senpai, and Tachibana Zanki, played by Mayuzumi-kun, moved slightly.

 The two, regaining their awareness, slowly stood up just like Kagami.

 ’What can you do in that state?’

 The evil god was right.

 It looked like all 3 of them were only standing up out of sheer willpower.

 It was enough. Everyone had tried their best. They all wanted to say it was okay to give up, but they held back.

 Because the eyes of the 3 were still alive.

 ’What can we do…’

 ’Ah, I remember. About that guy.’

 ’Yeah, Kenzaki would definitely say this.’

 The 3 pointed their index fingers to the sky, just like Kenzaki used to.

 ”’It’s not about what you can do! What’s important is what you do!!”’

 In response to their determination, 3 insect-like mechs flew in.

 ’No matter how hopeless the world seems!!’

 ’Even if this sword breaks!!’

 ’Our hearts will never break!!’

 ”’Henshin!!”’

 Transformations are fine no matter how many times you do them.

 The morning political debate show that was on behind the scenes had somehow turned into a Driver debate show, and the Driver critic who was a commentator on it said the same thing.

 The theater buzzed with excitement during the transformation scene with all 3 of them.

 ’It’s useless. Go, you guys!’

 The Chijo, under the evil god’s orders, blocked the path of the 3 Drivers.

 When the scene switched, it showed me slowly walking while holding my big belly, using the railing for support.

 Hehe, everyone looks worried, but when this scene was filmed, I wasn’t that big yet.

 On the movie theater screen, the Extras who were evacuating with me appeared.

 A fan spotted a certain person among them and started to get excited.

 ”Hakuryuu-sensei! Isn’t that Hakuryuu-sensei?”

 ”Congratulations on your Extra appearance, Sensei!!”

 ”I can’t believe Sensei is in the Driver show!”

 ”I thought Sensei would be on the Chijo side!”

 ”Oh, wait, President Atori is there too!”

 ”Awesome!”

 Actually, in this scene, it’s not just Sensei and Ako-san.

 Yui-san is next to me, and the high school students evacuating with us are Lisa-chan, Uruha-chan, and Kokona-chan.

 Then, an attack from the evil god played by the Chijo’s leader, Oto Rurika-san, comes flying at us.

 We somehow avoided a direct hit, but we fell to the ground.

 Of course, I didn’t actually fall down, though.

 ’Are you okay!?’

 We were on the ground when Ayana-chan and the members of eau de Cologne, along with Kaede-senpai and Nee-san playing Secretary Kuni, rushed over.

 ’Is she pregnant…?’

 The evil god that approached seemed to have set its sights on me, the pregnant one, slowly descending from the sky.

 The 3 Drivers noticed it, but they couldn’t come to help because they were blocked by a mass of Chijou.

 Ah, even though I should know everything that happens after this from the filming, my heart started to race naturally.

 ’You’re in the way. Die.’

 Ayana-chan, holding my hand, glared fiercely at the evil god.

 Next to her, I quietly closed my eyes and prayed.

 Help me…

 The moment I wished for that, a beam of light shone brightly from the dark Yasakani no Magatama.

 In the next instant, the attack launched by the evil god was deflected by someone.

 ’Who is it!?’

 The answer was already obvious.

 It was the usual, but the movie theater, which had been a bit noisy just a moment ago, fell eerily silent.

 ’Thank you. Because of your wish, I was able to come back here.’

 At that voice, everyone inside and outside the screen held their breath.

 On the big screen in the theater, Kukuri-chan, playing the miko, appeared, facing the Yata no Kagami in the otherworldly space sliced by the Kusanagi sword.

 ’Yasakani no Magatama gathers not only human malice but also faint hopes and heartfelt wishes. No matter how small your wish may be, I believed that you would surely respond to that voice.’

 Miko-sama’s expression softened, and she showed a gentle smile like a young girl.

 ’Welcome back. Heaven’s Sword, no… Kenzaki Souji!!’

 I widen my eyes at the sight of Kenzaki on the screen.

 In the next moment, joy explodes in the movie theater.

 ”Hongou, she really did it!”

 ”Yeah, keep it up!!”

 ”Kenzaki shows up to protect Kanon-sama!!”

 ”Get married!”

 ”No, they’re already married!”

 ”Ayana-chan being there is a big plus for me.”

 ”You guys are the true heroines!!”

 ”Our Heaven’s Sword that we wanted to see has started!!”

 Hehe, everyone doesn’t realize that all the girls around Aqua are his wives.

 Well, there’s one person missing, but that’s okay since she has the special seat for Kenzaki.

 ’Gugyaa!’

 A regular girl who didn’t read the mood attacks during the emotional Kenzaki revival and gets knocked away.

 Hehe, of course, if Kenzaki is here, it means his girlfriend who has been with him all the time is here too.

 ”Here it comes!”

 ”Midara-sama!”

 ”Yay!”

 It’s a classic that the last boss from the previous work becomes an ally in the next one.

 Even though I know it, my heart races.

 ’Midara, you’ll have to fight not just for her but for them too, are you okay with that?’

 ’Hehe, since you’re so kind, I’m sure you’ll save not just me and us, but them too, right? You really are hopeless. It seems the one who falls in love loses. But… I don’t dislike greedy gentlemen. After all, I’m one of those lustful girls too.’

 Next to me, Emily-senpai makes a creepy, lovestruck face.

 Hey! It’s dark, so it’s fine, but please stop making that face before the other customers notice!!

 If we don’t, people will find out that you’re Hagetoru! Come on!

 ””Kenzaki!!””

 The 4 Drivers cheer for Kenzaki’s return.

 Hearing their voices, Kenzaki smiles.

 ’Leave her to me!!’

 A beetle-shaped mech flies down from the sky and attaches itself to Kenzaki’s belt.

 The fact that it attaches itself to the belt shows that the beetle really likes Kenzaki the most.

 ’Henshin!!’

 The theater erupts with excitement as Kenzaki transforms into Heaven’s Sword.

 Transformed into Heaven’s Sword, Kenzaki works with Midara to corner the evil god.

 The specs of Heaven’s Sword, which is also the prototype for all Drivers, aren’t that high compared to other Drivers. In fact, in fighting games, other Drivers often have better stats and are stronger.

 However, as written in the Driver Encyclopedia, Kenzaki Souji’s high specs make Heaven’s Sword the strongest among all Drivers. So, that means our Kenzaki is the strongest!!

 After all, he hasn’t even used his hyper form or armor purge yet.

 ’Ugh! Why are you so strong! You’re a man! You don’t drown in that power and desire!!’

 ’Hmph, as Midara said earlier, I’m already drowning in desire.’

 At Kenzaki’s words, Midara or Emily-senpai strike a smug pose.

 Hehe, good for you.

 ’I will save you. No, not just you. That girl over there too, and these little ones as well.’

 ”Wha!?”

 Not only the evil god, but also the fierce battle with the Bicorn Beetle surprised Ara Kune.

 In contrast, Tachibana, Kamishiro, Kagami, Night Shadow, and former commander Tamashima smiled at Kenzaki, who hadn’t changed at all.

 ’Impossible! We’ve already killed many people. What are we supposed to do now?!’

 ’That’s obvious. We do this!’

 The Heaven’s Sword, after purging its armor, merged with the broken Caliburn and transformed into the true Hyper Form.

 Ugh! Even though the goods haven’t been announced yet, Nee-san next to me and I unconsciously opened our wallets.

 ’Please, everyone! Just a little, lend me your power!!’

 In response, we joined our hands and wished.

 The feelings of the people saved by Kenzaki Souji on the screen and those saved by Shirogane Aqua outside the screen became one.

 Is this a movie? Or is it reality? The line between them became unclear.

 What we understood in that moment was that Hongou Hiroko is an amazing director, and Heaven’s Sword is the best!!

 ’W-What is this?!’

 Kenzaki was engulfed by the path of light created by Yata no Kagami, which responded to the shining Yasakani no Magatama.

 Huh? Huh? What happened?!

 The theater and the screen fell silent as Kenzaki disappeared.

 ’Gugyaa!’

 ’Guboa!’

 ’Gaaah!’

 The suffering Chijou began to emit black mist as they returned to being ordinary people and collapsed.

 The lost black mist searched for its next vessel, heading towards ordinary people indiscriminately.

 ’Not gonna let that happen!’

 Tachibana, who noticed first, shot at the black mist.

 But the black mist that he missed attacked a small child.

 The one who knocked it away was an unexpected person.

 ’Hehe, you’re still as careless as ever.’

 ’Wha!? Tsukiko? Is that really you, Tsukiko!?’

 The theater erupted with excitement at the reappearance of Tachibana Tsukiko, played by Awashima Chigiri-san.

 ”Yayyy!”

 ”The Lightning Hopper I wanted to see has started!!”

 ”Hongou, I knew you could do it!!”

 ”This is how movies should be!!”

 ”I came to the theater just to see this!!”

 Tsukiko smiled gently at the enemy.

 As the scene changed, 2 men with swords stood in front of Kamishiro.

 ’You’ve grown up. Hajime.’

 ’Get up, Hajime! We’ll cover you, so just do what you want!’

 The audience cheered at the unexpected appearance of Tsuwabuki-san and Kamonohashi-san.

 But why are these two here…?

 ’Dad! And Uncle too! Okay!!’

 Ah! I see, that’s it!

 I realized that the two men in front of Kamishiro were the ones from the Kamishiro family who were killed by Chijou.

 Now it’s time for Kagami and Night Shadow to show up.

 ’Mom…’

 ’Mother…’

 Of course, Kagami and Night Shadow, as well as former Commander Tamashima, had tears in their eyes.

 They weren’t illusions or ghosts. They were real, solid beings.

 When the scene changes, the families killed by Chijou and those who died as Chijou return as humans to their families and friends. In another scene, the former Chijou who were unconscious in the hospital wake up.

 But that’s not all. The people killed by the evil gods and Ara Kune come back one by one.

 And….

 ’Ara Kune…’

 ’No way…’

 The fiancé, family, and friends of Ara Kune, who were supposed to be dead, appear right in front of her.

 Ara Kune, who returned from her spider-woman form to her human form, kneels down, tears streaming down her face.

 ’What is happening!? No, this… I see. So that’s it!! That man is rewinding the world to erase everything that happened, everything, from the very beginning!!’

 The scene of Heaven’s Sword rewinding to save the women before Kenzaki Souji became Chijou flows into the mind of the evil god.

 It really is Kenzaki! Kenzaki is the strongest!!

 A mysterious call of “Kenzaki is the strongest!” echoed in the movie theater.

 ’Stop it, stop it, stop ittt!!!’

 The energy released from the rampaging evil god attacks the civilians.

 However, it is the Chijou who have regained their hearts that block the attack.

 ”Is that Deka-onna!?”

 ”Men-Heller is here too!!”

 ”Yan-de-Rue has arrived!”

 ”And… is that Ego-Ist!?”

 Two women deflect the final attack from the evil god.

 Actually, it’s probably just one of their powers, but from their positions, it looked like 2.

 ”Bocchi the World-san is here!”

 ”Two mothers have arrived!”

 ”The combo of Yukishiro Mikuni and Kohina Yukari is intense here!!”

 ”Uoooooohhh!”

 Of course, since it’s a movie, everyone wants to be in it!!

 Even if we know that, it’s still the best!!

 Because everyone came here to see this!!

 ’W-why? Kenzaki Souji, how can you do something like that!?’

 Kohina Yukari and Mikuni looked at each other and nodded.

 ’Well, that’s obvious.’

 ’Yeah, we know that very well.’

 The two pointed their index fingers up to the sky, just like Kenzaki always does.

 The crowd erupted with excitement from the two moms’ real performance.

 ’Kenzaki Souji is’

 ’Heaven’s Sword is’

 ”Our child is the strongest and the best hero!!”

 At this point, a huge round of applause broke out.

 No, everyone, it’s not over yet, it’s definitely not over!!

 ’A, a, a…’

 The evil god held her head in both hands and shook his eyes hard.

 Heaven’s Sword, who had gone back in time, released his transformation and gently hugged the evil god who had not yet awakened.

 In the next moment, Kenzaki, wrapped in a bright light, princess-carried the evil god back to the real world.

 Just when we thought it was all over, a black mist that had lost its way merged into a giant serpent.

 ’That is…’

 ’A snake with 8 heads!?’

 ’No way, is it the Yamata no Orochi!’

 That enormous creature wrapped the darkness not just around Japan but all over the world.

 No way. Just a moment ago, I thought they were definitely going to win, but now they’ve been thrown into a desperate situation.

 Our emotions, shaken like a roller coaster, are all mixed up.

 ’It’s okay. I’ve called for help. No, that’s not it. The Driver always appears in times of crisis for the world!!’

 Huh!? What’s going on!?

 As everyone is stunned, familiar faces, or rather, people who look like them, jump out from a dimensional rift in the air.

 ”Third Generation Driver is here!”

 ”Hey, there’s an overseas version of Driver too!!”

 ”No way!?”

 ”Everyone’s here!!”

 All the Drivers from the past land on the ground.

 Wow! Everyone has their hairstyles and outfits from back then!!

 Nee-san is already crying loudly here.

 ”We’ve come to help, Heaven’s Sword!”

 ”Someone’s crisis is our crisis!”

 ”Even if the worlds are different, we are all the same Driver!”

 ”We, the Drivers, are always by everyone’s side!”

 Two new men appear from the space and land on the ground.

 ’Hey, what is this place!?’

 ’Who knows! But look at the sky!!’

 The theater erupts with excitement at the appearance of Yamada-kun and Kokucho-kun.

 We all know this is where the two from the next installment show up!!

 ’I don’t really get it, but it seems like something crazy is happening.’

 ’Yeah, let’s do this!!’

 The two of them back-to-back stretch their hands forward, connecting their unique-shaped devices.

 Their fans scream at the sight.

 ’Alright, let’s go! Everyone, henshin!!’

 With Kenzaki’s shout, everyone puts their hands on their belts.

 I told you, transforming can happen as many times as we want!!

 ”””””Henshin!”””””

 ””””””””””Henshin!””””””””””

 Before I knew it, everyone, including me, was shouting “henshin.”

 With Director Hongou’s mysteriously cool camera work, nearly 100 people transform.

 The transformed Drivers start attacking the Yamata no Orochi one after another.

 However, even with overwhelming numbers and the power of the Drivers, they couldn’t keep up with the terrifying regeneration speed of the Yamata no Orochi.

 No matter how many heads they cut off, in that moment, other heads would regenerate.

 ’Everyone, let’s take down the other heads at the same time!!’

 ’Yeah!’

 ’Alright!’

 ’Got it!’

 ’Understood!’

 The 5 transformed into Hyper Form, and the other Drivers and Chijo joined their attacks.

 With everyone’s efforts, one head of the Yamata no Orochi disappeared, then another.

 However, the final attack was a bit weak, and just at the last moment, one head remained.

 Oh no, if this keeps up, it will revive again!!

 Just as everyone thought that, a fighter jet approached the Yamata no Orochi.

 ’I, will charge in. Repeat. I, will charge in!’

 It’s Prime Minister Habu!

 Other fighter jets followed behind.

 Wait, those are the other members of the Diet…

 ’Prime Minister, we will accompany you!’

 ’We have lived long enough!!’

 ’This life, if it is to be lost for the future of our citizens, is not regrettable!!’

 ’Until the end, we will be with you!!’

 ’Now is the time to repay the gratitude for being alive in this country!!’

 Yeah, these people seem like they would do this not just in movies, but in real life too.

 I wonder why my country picked a fight with this one. There’s no way we can win. I think the States and the Far East Federation should just give up without any weird tricks. I can say this because I have experience.

 On the deck of the aircraft carrier floating in Tokyo Bay, the Self-Defense Force members and all the Diet members, including Agewa-san, stood up and saluted with tears in their eyes.

 ’GUUYYAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!’

 With the special attack from Prime Minister Habu and the others, one head of the Yamata no Orochi fell.

 Ugh, even though it’s just a movie, I can’t help but feel sorry for Prime Minister Habu and the others after everyone was saved.

 ’Huh?’

 ’Are they alive?’

 ’What!?’

 The Prime Minister and the others, tangled in that thread, slowly descend to the ground.

 It’s that moment in the final battle when someone who was an enemy becomes an ally!!

 I get it!!

 ’No way…’

 ’Is it still trying to regenerate!’

 The Drivers are shocked that the Yamata no Orochi is still trying to regenerate.

 Then, the evil god who has regained consciousness approaches.

 ’That is like the evil energy drifting from the heavenly clouds. To exorcise it…’

 Ah, right, the holy sword Caliburn is already broken…

 Huh? So, does that mean they can’t win?

 Just when everyone thought that, a woman raises her voice.

 ’No, there is another sword that can cut through the heavens!!’

 The miko hands the Kusanagi sword to Kenzaki.

 ’This sword is called Kusanagi, also known as the Sword of the Heavenly Clouds. Kenzaki Souji, no, Heaven’s Sword, I believe this sword will respond to you!’

 Yeah, yeah. I nod repeatedly. I act like I knew it all along.

 Heaven’s Sword, having received the Sword of the Heavenly Clouds from the miko, flies high into the sky and swings the sword towards the main body of Yamata no Orochi.

 The evil energy in the part that was trying to regenerate is exorcised, but the main body of Yamata no Orochi does not disappear and continues to regenerate.

 What!? Is that not enough!? At that moment, 2 Chijo jump out.

 ’Kenzaki!’

 ’Leave it to us!’

 Huh? Ro-Schutz-Marr!? And Kunka Kunker too!?

 The faces of the audience in the theater show expressions of confusion about what these two gag characters from earlier are doing now.

 ’Sniff, sniff! I smell something! It’s here!!’

 Kunka Kunker, who has a great sense of smell, finds the weak spot of the Yamata no Orochi.

 Huh? No way?

 ’Wooooo! Look at meeeeeee!!’

 The weak spot of the Yamata no Orochi is exposed by the mysterious white light from Ro-Schutz-Marr’s open coat.

 The audience goes wild, as if they suddenly changed their minds about the two main characters who are now showing their true power.

 ”We believed in you from the start.”

 ”Yeah, yeah, totally.”

 Emily-senpai and Kaede-senpai are in tears over the achievements of Kunka Kunker and Ro-Schutz-Marr.

 Huh? Is that really where Emily-senpai and Kaede-senpai are crying!?

 ’My mom said’

 Here comes the real deal!

 Our excitement reaches its peak during the climax of the movie.

 ’No one can do everything alone. That’s why we help each other and live! Thank you, everyone!!’

 The attack from the Heaven’s Sword completely destroys the Yamata no Orochi.

 It’s over. It’s really over.

 The theater is filled with cheers.

 Other Drivers are returning to their original world.

 Kenzaki and the others stop two of them.

 ’Take care of that world too.’

 ’Yeah!’

 From one Driver to the next.

 Usually, they pass things on during the TV show’s end credits, but they’re doing it here, so it didn’t make it to the TV.

 The audience erupts in applause as the two Drivers shake hands.

 In a peaceful world, Tachibana and Tsukiko live together. At the South Coffee Shop, Kamishiro fails at cooking as usual. Night Shadow, who had closed her tofu shop, returned to SYUKUJYO where Kagami, former Commander Tamashima, and the moms are.

 There, you can also see Bocchi the World and others.

 Although Ara Kune and the others were imprisoned as punishment for their crimes, it seems they avoided the death penalty since there were no casualties. Also, the evil god, who lost her wicked heart, can’t be judged by law because it’s not human, and the scene shows the miko they took in training as an apprentice shrine maiden.

 And then…

 ’Midara, are you coming with me?’

 ’Of course!’

 Midara snuggles closely to Kenzaki’s back on the motorcycle.

 Everyone thought Midara had definitely won by being with Kenzaki.

 ’Sniff sniff! I smell a female crying alone over there!!’

 ’Kenzaki, let’s hurry!!’

 Wait, Kunka Kunker and Ro-Schutz-Marr are here too…

 Midara looked a bit annoyed that it wasn’t just the two of them, but Emily-senpai, who sat next to me, had a smug look on her face as if to say I had definitely won.

 By the way, Emily-senpai was a fan of Kunka Kunker and Ro-Schutz-Marr.

 The 4 seemed to be going around the world with Kenzaki as a hero, trying to comfort someone.

 As this scene ended, the ending credits started to roll.

 Ah, it really feels like everything is over.

 But strangely, I don’t feel empty.

 Amidst the big applause, Aqua and the other cast members return to the stage.

 Aqua and the others expressed their gratitude to the fans again and shared some fun behind-the-scenes stories during the filming, enjoying the moment together with the fans, cast, and staff.
