The Game World launches an attack on the real world. In front of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and the Uchu Sentai Kyuranger appears the "Arena of Death" where the destruction of the Earth will be decided. Trapped in this inescapable dimension, generations of Super Sentai and Kamen Riders must engage in a battle royale, an unprecedented battlefield of many puzzles connecting the real and game worlds. And then, "Those Heroes" revive... Everything is scaled up, all rules are broken! And when it seems like the real world will fall into a disaster, imagination brings forth unimaginable new heroes!

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This crossover required coordinating over 30 active suit actors and voice performers across two currently-airing productions — scheduling nightmares that producer Shinichiro Shirakura still has PTSD about.
The 'Super Hero Wars' franchise represents Toei's annual attempt to outdo itself in fan service density — this 2017 installment was the first to fully integrate the then-new 'game world' aesthetic of Ex-Aid into the crossover formula, fundamentally changing how these films would be shot thereafter.
