Director Kazuya Kamihoriuchi discussed the upcoming film Kamen Rider Zetts: Mission of Farewell, which caps off the TV series. The story centers on Mitsugu and Takanori Kokage, with a theme of daydreams encroaching on reality. Kamihoriuchi aimed for unprecedented motorcycle action, including an 8-minute chase scene.
Director Kazuya Kamihoriuchi, who also helmed the TV series pilot, said the movie discussion started from what could not be expressed in a year of television. The conclusion was to center the film on Mitsugu and Takanori Kokage, with scriptwriter Yuya Takahashi proposing the word daydream as a way to bring spy movie elements into the real world.
Kamihoriuchi set a personal bar for the motorcycle action, aiming for the best in Kamen Rider history. The film opens with an approximately 8-minute chase between Kamen Rider Zetts and Kamen Rider Nox, a sequence he wanted to exceed the limits of everyday life as fiction.
