Curious how much Gills will be an actual factor in the movie or if this is just evocative imagery for posters and he'll just be quickly swept under the rug (since his actor retired after multiple allegations and they haven't brought him back for comments so far)

But this is a weird choice to be their theatrical push into the international market, since the official TokuHD subbed release of Agito is notoriously terrible

The cast list has literally everyone but Gills. And the poster has Hojo listed concerningly high which is really funny. I’d imagine they’re killing him offscreen… which is fitting for him

One interesting idea I've seen is that maybe Ryou has lost control of his power to the point that he can't revert from his Rider form and we won't see him in human form but he'll be in the movie just as Gills.

Don't know about the quality of its English translation, but Kamen Rider Agito did receive an official Neutral Spanish dub back in 2021 and it has a pretty good voice cast, though I don't know if Toei and Sato Company are planning on dubbing this movie.

Here:



Machine-translated subs, same thing happened with Gridman once they got past the episodes that were fansubbed.
