2
3	-----
4	!!The movie contains the following tropes:
5	* AlternateSelf: The Soccer World contains versions of all the human players in Zawame City.
6	* AlternateUniverse: The movie takes place in one, created by Lapis.
7	* BittersweetEnding: Kougane is destroyed and another threat to the world is averted. But the alternate reality is undone and Kouta goes back to his world still in the midst of the war with the Overlords. What's more [[spoiler: Lapis passes on, having used his remaining energy to help destroy Kougane. Though leaves happy that there is hope for humanity and that he got to learn about soccer. The final shot is his bracelet back in Helheim next to the soccer ball that Kouta and he had found earlier]].
8	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Kougane briefly puts [[spoiler:Kouta]] under his control.
9	* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:Yuya turns out is this, as he's Kougane in disguise.]]
10	* EarlyBirdCameo: Averted again following ''Film/KamenRiderWizardInMagicLand'' as Gaim's successor, ''Series/KamenRiderDrive'', does not appear. Justified as with the previous movie since both take place in alternate realities. However, unlike Wizard, Gaim's successor does not appear later on and does not debut until the start of his own series.
11	* {{Foreshadowing}}:
12	** Mitsuzane was deemed as the last Rider standing by Kougane after he apparently managed to kill every other Rider ([[spoiler:unknowingly to him, Kaito and Yoko are still alive]]) and Kouta's being [[spoiler:brainwashed by Kougane]] foreshadows the events after the finale, where Mitsuzane really becomes the last Rider standing on Zawame City after Kouta left Earth following his final battle with Kaito. [[spoiler:Until [[Film/KamenRiderXKamenRiderDriveAndGaimMovieWarFullThrottle Megahex]] attacks, that is...]]
13	** Yoko saving Kaito would foreshadow [[spoiler:her death in #45 by protecting Kaito (now Lord Baron) from Zack's bomb.]]
14	** [[spoiler:Ryoma being the SacrificialLamb in this movie foreshadows Kugai/Saver's role in Ryoma's Gaiden movie, as Kugai becomes the SacrificialLamb of the Sengoku Driver, making Kugai technically the first Rider in Gaim to be killed chronologically.]]
15	* GoneHorriblyWrong: Kougane's origin: he was an attempt by the Overlords to create an artificial Golden Fruit. Instead, they created an immensely powerful embodiment of war capable of spreading a HatePlague that rapidly accelerated their extinction.
16	* MundaneMadeAwesome: The climax basically amounts to a ''soccer match'' between the BigBad and [[MesACrowd his clones]] versus most of the Armored Riders.
17	* MythologyGag: The second arc (where the Riders' began to be killed one by one) can be considered as a reference to [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Ryuki's]] 13 Rider War.
18	** Coincidentally, there's exactly 13 Riders that are participating in the second arc[[note]]Gaim, Baron, Ryugen, Kurokage, Gridon, Bravo, Knuckle, Zangetsu Shin, Kurokage Shin, Marika, Duke, Sigurd, and Mars[[/note]] and the final arc[[note]]Everyone mentioned before, with Gaim Yami and Kamuro replacing Duke and Sigurd[[/note]]. In addition, if we add the number of unique Riders that appeared in this film, then we get a total of 15 Riders, exactly the same amount of Riders that appeared in Ryuki if we included the two Alternatives.
19	* OneWingedAngel: A variation on this occurs as Kougane/Mars makes ''his horse'' evolve into a giant flaming steed.
20	* ThePlague: Kougane sends out a black Inves plague that, [[spoiler:directly or indirectly due to Riders' fighting each other, killed every Rider except four (Kouta, Kaito, Yoko, and Micchy). It ends up being nothing in the finale, since everyone (bar Sid and Ryoma) are revived to beat him.]]
21	* RippedFromTheHeadlines: Obviously the movie was used to promote Japan participating in the FIFA Cup which was going on that year (2014). Hence the whole soccer theme and guest starts of a few of their star players.
22	* RippleEffectProofMemory: Only Kouta and Micchy realize that they're in an AlternateUniverse; [[spoiler:Kouta due to realizing that those who were dead in reality are somehow alive, Micchy partially due to the trauma of what he did to Takatora in #36 and partially due to realizing that Takatora said he is married (he did not in reality).]]
23	* SacrificialLamb: ''Ryoma'', of all people, is this as he's [[spoiler:the first one to get killed by Kougane's Inves plague moments after Ryoma accidentally releases Kougane from his seal.]]
24	* SealedEvilInACan: Kougane was imprisoned until Ryoma accidentally set him free.
