Bokura no Shokutaku (2023)

Both of the actors who played Yutaka (Inukai Atsuhiro) and Minoru (Iijima Hiroki) previously starred in this crossover movie, Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FINAL: Build & Ex-Aid with Legend Riders. If you watched Bokura no Shokutaku (Our Dining Table) and want to see these actors interact again, I suggest watching the movie. Very different storyline, but I enjoyed their characters as Kamen Rider Build/Sento and Kamen Rider Ex-Aid/Emu.
