Synopsis

The alien Wulgaru's last assault against humanity was foiled by the heroic actions of the genetically enhanced humans known as the Evolved Children in their advanced AHSMB battle armor, but now a new attack has been launched against Earth under an even deadlier champion, Diorna, created from the fusion of DNA from two Wulgaru Royals. Unfortunately, Izuru Hitachi, the leader of Team Rabbits who defeated the Wulgaru Royal Jiart, is still out of action and recovering, so the task of marshalling the Majestic Princes and stopping Diorna falls upon the unready shoulders of Toshikazu Asagi. Together with the remaining members of Team Rabbits and the recently created Team Fawn, it’s up to Asagi to hold the line against the most ruthless adversary yet. (Source: Anilist)

Audience Consensus

The movie provides more of the same mecha action and humor from the original series, focusing on Asagi's role. However, it fails to address unresolved plot threads and doesn't introduce any new thematic elements. The film is enjoyable on its own but feels unnecessary within the broader context of the Majestic Prince storyline.

Strengths

  • More mecha action
  • Humor is still there
  • Asagi gets the spotlight

Weaknesses

  • Plot threads from the anime are not elaborated
  • Doesn't question, reinforce or say anything new about instincts vs altruism
  • Has no reason to exist in the context of the series
