description Kamen Rider Build Overview
Scientific mystery and a divided Japan shape Kamen Rider Build, a Japanese tokusatsu television series broadcast from 2017 to 2018 within Toei's Kamen Rider franchise. Tokusatsu refers to live-action entertainment built around special effects and costumed action. The story follows physicist Sento Kiryu as he investigates his missing identity and the origin of the Pandora Box, with superhero battles tied closely to those questions. Sento transforms using Fullbottles, pairing their powers in combinations known as Best Matches.
Japan's division into three rival regions, separated by walls, gives the conflict a political setting alongside its scientific elements. The changing combinations provide variety in the hero's abilities, while the identity mystery supplies continuity between encounters. It suits viewers who want transformation-based action supported by an ongoing plot about the uses and consequences of scientific power.
help Kamen Rider Build FAQ
Why is Japan divided into three countries in Kamen Rider Build?
Energy released from the Martian Pandora Box creates the Sky Wall and separates Japan into Touto, Hokuto, and Seito. The resulting political conflict becomes central to Sento Kiryu's fight against human experimentation and war.
How do Fullbottle Best Matches work?
Sento inserts two compatible Fullbottles into the Build Driver to produce a Best Match form. Rabbit and Tank create RabbitTank, the red-and-blue form used as Build's primary configuration.
Who is Kamen Rider Build before he regains his memories?
Build initially lives as Sento Kiryu, an amnesiac genius physicist working in Touto. The mystery surrounding Takumi Katsuragi and the Faust organization gradually reveals how Sento acquired that identity.
What should viewers watch after the Kamen Rider Build TV finale?
The film Kamen Rider Build the Movie: Be the One connects directly to the television era. The sequel stories Build New World: Kamen Rider Cross-Z and Build New World: Kamen Rider Grease continue with Ryuga Banjo and Kazumi Sawatari.
