Takanashi Rikka Kai ~Gekijou-ban Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai!~

Takanashi Rikka • Kai ~Gekijou-ban Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai!~ (小鳥遊六花・改 ～劇場版 中二病でも恋がしたい！～) is a compilation film which recaps the first season of Love, Chunibyo and Other Delusions — only as seen from the character Rikka Takanashi's eyes and reconstructed with new elements to make it interesting for the audience. The staff and cast from the first season returned for this film. Rikka (as voiced by Maaya Uchida) performed the opening theme song, while Rikka, Shinka Nibutani (Chinatsu Akasaki), Kumin Tsuyuri (Azumi Asakura), and Sanae Dekomori (Sumire Uesaka) performed the ending theme "Secret Survivor" as Black Raison d'être.

Plot
The movie opens at a church, where Yuuta gets ready for his wedding with Rikka. Dekomori bursts in, interrupting the ceremony, refusing to accept their new contract as she wants her master back for her only. Rikka resists, and along with Yuuta, Nibutani and Kumin, engage in a ferocious battle against Dekomori.

Rikka then wakes up in the clubroom, revealing it to be a dream. Dekomori enters, and Rikka asks of Yuuta’s whereabouts, implying he is elsewhere. Dekomori asks Rikka to trust and have faith in Yuuta. She then asks Rikka to share her story of how she met the Dark Flame Master, and Kumin wakes up, showing interest too.

The bulk of the movie consists of a retelling of Season 1, now from Rikka’s perspective with a few added twists: of how they met, their shared chunibyo history, how they fell in love, and how they finally found the Ethereal Horizon.

After Rikka completes her recount, Nibutani enters, and seems surprised Yuuta isn’t back yet. After a brief fight with Dekomori who reveals she will be entering the same high school as them in the new semester, the door opens and Yuuta walks in.

Rikka’s mom had to leave town for two years due to her job, thus Rikka’s grandfather was dead set to take Rikka back to live with him. Knowing Rikka would be unhappy living there, Yuuta reveals that he had gone to plead with her grandfather to let Rikka live on her own. Rikka’s mom, as well as her older sister, Tōka, who suddenly showed up, finally helped to convince Rikka’s grandfather to change his mind. Rikka hugs Yuuta happily.

Back at Rikka’s apartment, movers suddenly arrive and start preparing to move Rikka’s things. Yuuta gets a call from Tōka, who explains that Rikka’s grandfather had already cancelled her apartment’s lease, and they were too late to change it. Realising that there is no other way, Yuuta asks the movers to transfer Rikka’s things to his apartment instead. Yuuta’s family is in Jakarta, so the two of them begin to live together alone.

In a post credits scene, a new, unknown girl (introduced in Season 2 as Satone Shichimiya) with brilliant pink hair arrives on train, and "opens" the train door with her "powers". She steps off and wonders how her hero, whom she calls "Yuusha", is doing.
