All spoilers for Kamen Rider Amazons are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!
Kamen Rider Amazons: The Last Judgement is the spring film companion to the Darker and Edgier Kamen Rider Amazons series, serving as the side-project's Grand Finale. The film hit theaters on May 19th of 2018, with a DVD release five months later.
Two years after the events of Season 2, Haruka Mizusawa is now one of the last remaining Amazons on the run from the Competitive Creatures Control Center; who seek to destroy him and bring the man-eating Amazons to a permanent end. During a skirmish, he and his foster sister Mizuki find themselves led to an orphanage in the care of the mysterious Einosuke Mido, who offers him a home there. It isn't long before the facility reveals it has something to hide and the knowledge within will re-kindle the doomed battle between Humans and Amazons once again, setting Amazons Omega and Alpha on a final, deadly crusade against one another.
The fierce tragedy of Kamen Rider Amazons is about to come to a bloody end.

- An Arm and a Leg: Neo Alpha is disarmed (literally) by Amazon Alpha during their fight.
- Ax-Crazy: Despite his calm demeanor, Mido revels in violence.
- A Lighter Shade of Black: Jin and Mido both intend on killing the children of the orphanage. Jin's doing it because his obsession still revolves around saving people from Amazons. Mido's doing it out of anger they've regained their wills to live.
- Became Their Own Antithesis: Haruka's seen Jin as this since the end of Season 1 but Jin raring to attack the child Amazon orphans really rubs it in.

- Chainsaw Good: Neo Alpha's main weapon is a bladed chainsaw attachment with a minigun mounted on top.

- The Dragon: Einosuke Mido, who's raising the orphan Amazons Tachibana's feeding to people.
- Dramatic Irony: Haruka and Jin's final battle plays out a lot like their very first, with Haruka mindlessly rushing at a calm Jin before the two tussle.
