Toei has announced Ex-Aid: Divine Game, a new Kamen Rider Ex-Aid production, at the show’s tenth-anniversary event. Toei hasn’t yet said whether it is a film, a V-Cinema release or a series. With Toei that is less vague than it sounds, since the company has been known to make all three before breakfast.
Ex-Aid ran from October 2016 to August 2017, 45 episodes in all, as the 18th Heisei-era Rider. Its pitch was “doctors × gamers”. Emu Hojo is a medical intern and gaming prodigy who treats patients infected with Bugster viruses by transforming into a Rider with cartridge-shaped Gashats and beating the disease in combat. It is the only medical drama we know of where the bedside manner includes a power-up jingle. In Britain the closest equivalent would be Casualty rewritten by the people who made Knightmare.
The anniversary has been run like a game with levels. Toei’s “LEVEL 10th” campaign promised five stages of announcements. Level one was a free run of all 45 episodes on the Toei Tokusatsu YouTube Official channel from 3 October, two a week on Saturdays. There has also been an anniversary advert for a Japanese life insurer, which fits a show about doctors rather well. Divine Game appears to be the big reveal the campaign was building towards.
There is form for this. Kamen Rider OOO got a tenth-anniversary V-Cinext film, Core Medal of Resurrection, in 2022, and Ex-Aid already had the Trilogy: Another Ending spin-offs after the series finished. Cast and format are still to come. As we noted when Kamen Rider Valtz galloped into MY-TH, the franchise never really ends; it just inserts another cartridge.
