'Kamen Rider Gav: Guilty Parfait' V-Cinext Announced Immediately After TV Series Finale, Stirring Excitement

Immediately following the broadcast of the final episode of the popular Tokusatsu TV series 'Kamen Rider Gav,' the release of the latest V-Cinext installment, 'Kamen Rider Gav: Guilty Parfait,' was announced, generating significant buzz, particularly on social media. This film is set for a limited nationwide theatrical release starting November 28, 2025 (Friday), much to the delight of fans.

'Guilty Parfait' is positioned as a 'sequel' depicting events after the TV series, with the grand theme of 'never giving up on a parfait (perfect) world where humans and Granutes coexist.' The released teaser visual and 30-second special report video showcase Ban, as Kamen Rider Vallen, transforming into the new form 'Guilty Parfait,' already drawing considerable attention for its intricate design.

On social media, numerous expressions of joy have been posted, such as 'Sad the Gav finale ended, but the V-Cinext announcement makes me happy!' 'Excited to see Vallen take the lead!' and 'The new parfait-themed form looks so cool!' There are also many voices hoping the V-Cinext will delve deeper into unresolved issues from the TV series, like those related to the Dark Sweets, and explore the fates of characters like Rizel, Hanty, and Domal. Specific interest has been noted regarding the depiction of Hanty's Granute organs and whether Lakia will appear.

Regarding the earlier-than-usual V-Cinext release, some comments touched upon changes in the release schedule and production system, questioning 'Is this the earliest we've ever seen one within the year?' and 'Has it become the style to do sequels as V-Cinexts instead of winter movies?' With the series' excitement still fresh, fans are eagerly anticipating the unfolding of a new story on the big screen.

The Context

Kamen Rider is a long-running and iconic Japanese tokusatsu (special effects) superhero franchise, similar to Power Rangers but originating earlier and typically featuring a single hero (or a small team) with motorcycle motifs. Each series introduces a new Kamen Rider with unique powers and a distinct storyline, often exploring themes of justice, sacrifice, and the nature of humanity.

V-Cinext (often stylized as V-CINEXT) refers to direct-to-video (and sometimes limited theatrical run) releases that typically serve as epilogues or side stories to a recently concluded Kamen Rider TV series. These films allow for further exploration of characters and plotlines that couldn't be fully resolved within the TV show's run. They are usually released several months to a year after the TV series finale, making the announced release date for 'Kamen Rider Gav: Guilty Parfait' in November 2025 relatively quick, which is why fans are noting the change in the production/release schedule.
