Kamen Rider Geats (仮面ライダーギーツ, Kamen Raidā Gītsu) is a Japanese tokusatsu drama. It is the 33rd entry in the Kamen Rider franchise and the fourth series of the Reiwa period.

Desire Grand Prix

The "Desire Grand Prix" (デザイアグランプリ, Dezaia Guran Puri) is an organization that hosts a virtual reality-based survival game of the same name, recruiting players to protect the city from the threat posed by the mysterious Jyamato" while offering to grant the winning participant's wish after passing a series of rounds that includes saving lives. But once a chosen participant accepts becoming a Kamen Rider, they are bound by the game's rules to continue playing until they are either killed in action and are removed from reality or are retired to resume normal life with no memory of the D.G.P.[1][2][3] It's also revealed that divulging the existence of the Desire Grand Prix to third parties would result in disqualification and elimination, along with Kamen Riders not allowed to attack each other unless there is an exception from certain circumstances.[2]

Each participant carries 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), and is equipped with a Desire Driver (デザイアドライバー, Dezaia Doraibā) belt, which can combine with a small button-like ID Core (IDコア, Ai Dī Koa)[a] to transform the user into a base Entry Form (エントリーフォーム, Entorī Fōmu) Kamen Rider. The Riders can also equip one or two Raise Buckles to gain additional armors, with a series of possible combinations.[1] The participants must defeat a Jyamato who has a Mission Box (ミッションボックス, Misshon Bokkusu) to acquire a lesser Raise Buckle while defeating a stronger and rare Jyamato awards them with a special Raise Buckle that allows them to equip new armors.[4]

Because of Ace's late arrival to save Tōru from being betrayed by two participant Kamen Riders who left him die untransformed, Michinaga becomes cynical and considers the Kamen Riders to all be self-serving.

This gives Kanato zombie status as he justifies his potential elimination to freely attack the other Kamen Riders, targeting Neon.[8][4][2] But it not only resulted in him losing points when he attacked Morio while the other Kamen Riders who attack him are not penalized, Kanato is disqualified due to putting his obsession to eliminate his competition over saving civilians, with the mysterious Kamen Rider Punk Jack replacing him for the third bout.[6]
