Saber + Zenkaiger: Superhero Senki (セイバー（聖刃）＋ゼンカイジャー:スーパーヒーロー戦記, Seibā + Zenkaijā: Supāhīrō Senki, lit. Superhero War Chronicle) is a Japanese superhero crossover film between Kamen Rider Saber
and Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger, serving to comememorate both the Kamen Rider 50th Anniversary and Super Sentai 45th Anniversary.
The film was also accompanied by an "special" short film of Kamen Rider Revice, which featured early-bird appearances of both protagonists Kamen Riders Revi and Vice, ahead of their in-series debuts.
The catchphrase for this film is "Straightforward heroes, half a century!" (ヒーロー一筋、半世紀！, Hīrō hitosuji, han-seiki!)
Synopsis
"I will decide; at full speed, non stop; this story's ending! (物語の結末は、全力全開で、俺が決める！, Monogatari no ketsumatsu wa, zenryoku zenkai de, ore ga kimeru!)"
―Kamen Rider Saber and Zenkaizer's combined catchphrase
Touma, Yuri and Mei somehow ended up in the World of Zenkaiger while four Zenkaigers, except Juran, ended up in the World of Saber. The reason for their swap is due to a man who wishes to rid the world of heroes. How does a male, teenage artist tie into this? And why are they send into different stories with previous Kamen Riders and Super Sentai Teams?
Continuity and Placement
- The film takes place after the events of the Movie Release Commemorative Combo Special.
- Kamen Rider Revice: It has been stated that the film takes place after the third episode.
Plot
At the Sword of Logos' Agastya Base space station, the guardian Asmodeus rebels and takes control of all the books containing the Kamen Riders and Super Sentai's stories, merging them into one story. Meanwhile, Touma Kamiyama, Mei Sudo, and Yuri are transported to the world of Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger while Zenkaiger members Kaito Goshikida, Gaon, Magine, and Vroon are transported to the world of Kamen Rider Saber. Touma's group encounter Juran while he is searching for his teammates, help him repel one of Tozitendo's attacks, and meet a young boy named Shotaro. Regrouping at the Zenkaigers' headquarters, they make contact with Kaito's group through Secchan and learn what happened from Sophia.
Suddenly, Asmodeus uses his powers to send Kaito and Rintaro Shindo to a world based on Journey to the West, while Touma, Juran, Mei, and Shotaro are sent to one based on Nansō Satomi Hakkenden. With help from several Riders and Sentai warriors they meet along the way, both groups get to the end of their respective stories and reunite to confront Asmodeus. However, he convinces Shotaro that both the Riders and Sentai groups should not exist as they always suffer over the course of their stories. Shotaro destroys his drawings, causing the Riders and Sentai to disappear. While vanishing, Touma discovers he and his friends were part of a story as well instead of the real world. He then wakes up in a world where they live peaceful lives and the battles they faced never happened, leading him to realize that facing hardships are what makes heroes human and that Shotaro is actually a young, time-displaced Shotaro Ishinomori, the creator of the Riders and Sentai's stories. Touma finds and convinces him to create heroes again, and together they create a new story called Super Hero Senki.
Concurrently, Asmodeus joins forces with the Riders and Sentai groups' enemies to take over the story worlds, only to be opposed by the Sword of Logos, Zenkaigers, Twokaizer, and their Rider and (Red) Sentai predecessors, who destroy the villains while Asmodeus is defeated by Kamen Riders Revi and Vice. Asmodeus absorbs his fallen allies' machinery to enlarge himself and transform into a dragon, but the Sentai warriors summon their mecha to join the Riders in destroying him. As the heroes return to their respective worlds, Kamen Rider 1 recognizes Shotaro as his creator. Shotaro realizes he is at a point in time where he is already dead, but rejoices knowing that his creations will continue inspiring others long after his death and promises to fulfill his dream of making hero stories before returning to his time. The Agastya Base's books are restored, including a new book for Kamen Rider Revice. Touma, Mei and the Zenkaigers stop by the Candy Cafe Colorful to celebrate their victory and discuss Revi and Vice's story.

Errors
- The sound effect when Kamen Rider GrandZi-O summons Kabuto is cut off suddenly at the end when Kabuto is materialized.
- For some reason , Kabuto is wearing Hyper Zecter when he is summoned.
- A cameraman shows up for seconds when the scene cut to the overview of Buster, Black, GekiRed, Red Mask, and RyuRanger battle.
- The sound effects for the Geartlinger's finisher are incorrectly timed when Zenkaiser readies his finisher against Asmodeus.
- The Riders and Sentai change positions entirely towards the end of their respective roll calls.

About Shotaro Ishinomori
Journey to the West
Hakkenden
- The real-world Hakkenden is a 19th century Japanese fictional novel. The book itself has influenced the background setting of Kamen Rider Saber.
- The eight legendary swordsmen all have unique birthmarks in the original text, corresponding to the Super Hero Time block partner's storybook with some of the swordsmen.
- Ryu Commander carries the Ryuki book is a nod to their dragon motif.
- Juran carrying J is referring to Kamen Rider J and TyrannoRanger sharing the same actor.
Notes
- According to producer Shinichiro Shirakura, Superhero Senki would be Toei's final crossover film between both franchises.[9]
- This is the first Kamen Rider/Super Sentai film to premiere in the summer as a crossover instead of a double-billing, as Saber's film premiered in December 2020, while Zenkaiger's film premiered in February 2021.
- Although Masaki Terasoma and Kenichi Suzumura reprise their Kamen Rider Den-O roles of Kintaros and Ryutaros respectively, they are not credited for the limited on-screen appearances of their respective Super Sentai roles Kishiryu Tyramigo and Mashin Fire, both who appear in the film but do not have any lines.
- This film features the first on-screen crossover between the protagonists of both Kamen Rider Zero-One and Kamen Rider Saber with Fumiya Takahashi and Syuichiro Naito reprising their respective roles. The two were previously unable to appear in their own Movie War film in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in the production of their own individual films and being released as a double-billing.
- This film features the reappearance of Kamen Rider 1’s original costume from the first 13 episodes of the 1971 show, which outside of manga, video games, and toys, has not been seen in the TV show or on film in 50 years.
- This film marks the first on-screen appearance of Luna from Kamen Rider Saber in her adult form, portrayed by Mayuu Yokota. She would later Televised debut as adult Luna in the TV series beginning from episode 44.
- A mannequin of Kamen Rider Shin was used during the gathering of the Riders and Rangers, with wooden pedestals able to be seen under his feet in certain shots. This was due to the suit's deterioration since its last usage, and current condition being too poor to be used to perform action sequences. [10] As such, aside from the initial scene where all of the main Riders and Sentai Reds gather, Shin is not featured in any of the subsequent fight scenes in this film.
- Aside from Shin for the aforementioned reasons, Kamen Rider X is the only other hero who is not featured in the team-up battle montage sequence, only appearing in the battle scenes afterwards.
- Nearly all of the Primary Kamen Riders and Sentai Red Rangers are voiced by unknown voice actors instead of their regular actors in this film, all of which are uncredited.
