Let's Go Kamen Rider Movie Summary! [UPDATED]


Just recently, DecaEnd has posted the movie summary of the upcoming Kamen Rider 40th Anniversary film, OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Rider and it is similar to the early information we have coming from the scans!

Script: Shoji Yonemura
Dialog Supervisor: Yasuko Kobayashi
Director: Osamu Kaneda

OOO is fighting a monster. However this monster isn't a Yummy. It's actually the Mole Imagin.


Suddenly the DenLiner appears. Kotaro walks towards a child and the pass shows the date November 11, 1971. Why does this child have memories from 40 years ago?


All of this confuses Eiji and Ankh, the two of them sneak into the DenLiner and follow them 40 years to the past. Ankh is planning to find all the Medals while the other Greeeds are sealed. NEW Den-O defeats the Mole Imagin, it explodes and Eiji falls on Ankh from the impact of the explosions. Ankh drops a one Cell Medals and rolls out, someone picks it up and the DenLiner drives off.


When Eiji and Ankh are back in 2011, the world is controlled by Shocker. It's revealed that the Cell Medal caused #1 and #2 to lose against Shocker. After that no Kamen Riders showed up. Eiji and Ankh now has to work with Kotaro, who wasn't affected from this.


Will OOO and Den-O be able to save the world? That is for us to find out when the film hits Japanese theaters this April 1!

#1, #2 and V3 Returns on Let's Go Kamen Rider!


The three original Riders actors, Hiroshi Fujioka, Takeshi Sasaki and Hiroshi Miyauchi, now on their 60's are back for the the first time in 37 years and will return to the upcoming Kamen Rider film, OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Rider as Rider 1, Rider 2 and V3 respectively!

Their last appearance together was in the 1974 movie, Kamen Rider X: Five Riders Vs. King Dark and on the last episode of Kamen Rider Stronger (below) in which they appeared in their human forms at the end of the said series.


The producer, Shichirou Shirakura said, "The children 40 years ago watched Kamen Rider and they are now parents. Their children are watching the modern Kamen Rider. Together, they can watch this movie and enjoy it together."

The three of them will be dubbing their voices during the start of February. Rider 1 and Rider 2 will be greeting each other by shouting "Ichimonji!" and "Hongo," while V3 will do his famous "V3" shout. Old fans will surely shed a tear when seeing this scene.

The upcoming movie, revealed last month, marks a milestone for the franchise as this is its 40th anniversary. All of the Kamen Riders up until now are expected to appear, though the main characters will be Kamen Rider OOO and Kamen Rider NEW Den-O. With the help of Kamen Rider V3 (now a major character), who saves OOO earlier in the said film, they will face off against Kamen Rider 1 and Kamen Rider 2, who have joined the evil organization, Shocker.

OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Rider opens on April 1.

Why Den-O is On Let's Go Kamen Rider? + More Info!


Wondering why on earth Den-O was part of Let's Go Kamen Rider instead of Decade who is logically, fitting for the job in gathering all main Kamen Riders? Worry no more! The answer for that question is this, according to Toei superiors, since it is April, it is Den-O's time to shine! And along with it, here are some more Let's Go Kamen Rider info!

Let's Go Kamen Rider's Producer is called, Shirakura. The reason why OOO is included in the film is that Naomi Takebe, OOO Chief Producer asked Toei to include OOO in the film.

Also, here is the complete summary of the film found in the movie pamphlet of the said film which was posted on 2ch.

Mankind has always been exposed to threats, but the justice's flame never disappeared. The one called Kamen Rider always protected life. However, sometime in April 2011, the whole world was conquered by Shocker and Kamen Rider, who should protect humanity, disappeared. Kamen Rider, stand up!

Kamen Rider W FOREVER Random Clips! [UPDATED 4]


Just recently, someone has just uploaded clips of Kamen Rider W FOREVER: A-Z The Gaia Memories of Fate on YouTube. To those who don't know, the said film will be released on DVD and BluRay on January 21 and based on this copy, it seems that the uploader used the rental copy! Anyways, here is your early taste on Kamen Rider Eternal vs. W FangJoker, Kamen Rider Joker vs. Heat Dopant and W CycloneJoker Gold Xtreme's first appearance! And as a bonus, clip of OOO's debut on the film... with a different henshin sequence!

Kamen Rider Eternal vs. W FangJoker


I seriously love how Eternal flicks his dagger! Also, I notice a couple of wire action here. This is indeed a film directed by Koichi Sakamoto.

Kamen Rider Accel vs. Weather Dopant (T2) and Nasca Dopant (T2) and later, Trigger Dopant


... which includes brief Shotaro and Terui bromance and hints on how Terui ended up marrying Akiko. and seriously, Trigger Dopant's first transformation sequence is epic!

Kamen Rider Joker's First Transformation and Fight! Later, Metal Dopant and much later, Kamen Rider Eternal


Transforming inside the agency while pulling a couple of Kamen Rider references? Epic. Fighting Heat Dopant with her doing a lot of back flips? Awesome. And later ramming the bike towards a bunch of Masquerade Dopants before facing them, ONE BY ONE? Kamen Rider Joker has just raised the bar in terms of Kamen Rider Badassery.

Kamen Rider OOO Debuts and Fights Luna Dopant!


So this is how Eiji first debuted in Futo! Also, notice a different transformation sequence in this clip.

Kamen Rider W CycloneJoker Gold Xtreme Debut


I love the XTyphoon close-up shot! Anyways, that explains why he can go gold! Just let the center of the belt spin rapidly while on Xtreme. That explains the incident that happened on Movie Wars Core! Also, WBX is playing on the background? Epic.

Update 1: Placed Luna Dopant vs. Kamen Rider OOO which includes OOO's henshin sequence.
Update 2: Placed Trigger Dopant vs. Kamen Rider Accel.
Update 3: Updated Accel's video which now includes his fight with T2 Nasca and T2 Weater Dopants and a full length scene on how he ended up fighting the Trigger Dopant.
Update 4: Placed a better Kamen Rider Joker fight which includes his first transformation sequence, his fight against Heat Dopant, a couple of Masquerade Dopants, Metal Dopant and Kamen Rider Eternal. Rider Kick and Rider Punch finishers included... now with better quality.

I therefore conclude, STOP TEASING US ALREADY! JUST POST THE RENTAL DVD RIP! Oh I forgot, Toei might remove it. Sorry.

Kamen Rider Accel V-Cinema Update!


Just recently, more info regarding the upcoming V-Cinema spin-off Kamen Rider W, Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Accel has just surfaced the web and it seems that we have returning faces and some marriage trouble with Dopants on the side!


Commander Dopant is confirmed for the film and he is the one setting up the Dopant army called, One Dopant Army with Masked Soldiers (Kamen Heishi) as his foot soldiers. This group uses electromagnetic batons for killing. Meanwhile, Commander Dopant's ability is planting time bombs on people (WTF?!).


In this spin-off, Terui saved a girl called Aoi Kuzuki (played by Yukari Tani) from an attack caused by the Masked Soldiers. Suddenly, the Commander Dopant shows up to take something from Aoi. However, Aoi doesn't have that thing anymore. Commander Dopant places a time bomb on Aoi and frames Terui. 


The police are now after them and they'll have to flee together. Akiko later finds out that Terui is fleeing with another woman. Terui fell for a trap and he has now lost the Accel Memory. He'll now have to have to use his fists and his gun to fight. Will he be able to shake this pinch off?


On the left is Aoi, the girl whom Terui saved and ran off with. On the center is Akiko holding the registration papers for their divorce (!) because she thinks that Terui is cheating on her with the said girl and another picture of Akiko holding a Bat Shot. 

On the right is the back of Kamen Rider Accel Booster which accordingly, is capable of flying! I guess that the one on Accel's back is well, a giant fan.


Also, Lily Shirogane (played by Nao Nagasawa) the magician and formerly, Invisible Dopant from episode 27 and 28 returns in the spin-off and now owns a coffee shop!

Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Accel will be released on BluRay and DVD on April 21, 2011.

British Indie Director Directs Godzilla Remake


The remake of the classic TOHO Studios 1954 tokusatsu film, Godzilla (Gojira) now has a director according to The Hollywood Reporter! To give you a short background, this is the second time Hollywood made a Godzilla remake. The first was Sony's Godzilla... and it is crappy.

Gareth Edwards, is a British filmmaker who wrote and directed indie sci-fi movie Monsters, is closing a deal to develop and direct the monster flick produced by Legendary Pictures (The Dark Knight, Inception). Edwards will now work with a new yet-to-hired writer on the script.

Edwards’ indie film, Monsters has won the filmmaker three British Independent Film Awards, including nods for best director, best achievement in production and best technical achievement. It seems he is qualified to direct this classic 1954 tokusatsu film!

To those who are wondering how this film will be like, this film according to its producer, Brain Rogers this film will be as much as possible, as close as to the original Japanese film in which good ol' Godzilla will fight giant monsters! Even with that, Godzilla will not be a classic rubber suit, but a CGI monster. Aww.

Kamen Rider W Returns V-Cinema Update!

The clearer scan of the upcoming V-Cinema spin-offs of Kamen Rider W has just been released by ModXToys, and so, DecaEnd translated once blurry text!

The contents of the scan is still the same from the previous post about it, but this new translation reveals more details about the two spin-offs. Here's the breakdown:

Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Accel
Asides from the debut of Kamen Rider Accel Booster, assaults incidents are happening in Futo. It seems that the threat of the Dopants is not yet over. Ryu investigates a group that calls themselves as Masked Soldiers (Kamen Heishi) and this group has control over the Dopants.

Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Eternal
Asides from the secrets behind the birth of Kamen Rider Eternal, we will learn the battle between Utopia Dopant and Eternal that happened in the past. So far, not much has been revealed in the scan.

Asides from the clearer scan, Netarider, DecaEnd's own Kamen Rider Rumor page has revealed more details regarding Accel!


On the left is a clearer full body shot of Kamen Rider Accel Booster. Using the Gaia Memory Enhancement Adapter, a device that is circulating around Futo, this form is makes the user three times stronger compared to its previous form! This form is accordingly, stronger that Accel Trail and as you can see, he already ditched the default wheels of the regular form and now donning a new visor!

On the right is Akiko, worried on trivial matters and is upset that even after their marriage, Ryu is still calling her, "Chief."


The text on the pictures says: A sinister shadow behind the newly married couple!?

Akiko and Terui live together as two newlyweds. However, Terui gets dragged into a case revolving a Dopant.



Suddenly, Terui appears on the news after he shot Jinno. He's seen fleeing together with a woman called Aoi Kuzuki (played by Yukari Tani). What exactly happened? Was Ryu framed up or did he shot Jin? What will happen to the newlywed couple?

That is what we will learn once Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Accel V-Cinema will be released!

Movie Wars Core Official Spoilers Part 3: Movie Wars Core


The last part of the spoilers for Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider OOO & W feat. Skull: Movie Wars Core. This time, Winter Chevalier of HJU decides to sum up the events of the last portion of the film. To those who missed the other two parts, you can check it here and here.

Warning! Spoiler Alert! Read at your own risk.


+ The black Core Medals fly into the Memory Memory and create Core. The Ptera Yummy from W's side flies away. Core starts trying to make a whole in the ground so he can get to the core and some glowing green crystal. OOO shows up and saves Akiko, she recognizes that he is also a Kamen Rider due to his OOO Driver and pushes him.


+ Shotaro and Philip recognize Eiji and refer to him as OOO. Eiji, Shotaro and Philip transforms into W CycloneJoker and OOO Tatoba Combo. As Core makes his way into the ground, Philip remarks that Core's power comes from the Earth's core (duh) so, W change into W CycloneJoker Extreme, and OOO changes to OOO LaToraTah so he can use the Tora Candroid for the RideVendor to chase Core underground.


+ Birth shows up to help Accel fight the Ptera Yummy. Accel uses his kick Maximum Drive while Birth uses his Birth Buster.

+ OOO and W destroy the green crystal and then Ankh shows up. Shotaro freaks out when he sees Ankh which appears in his floating arm look. Core shows up and says that they can't win because he's a Kamen Rider and he's the best or something like that.


+ Shotaro and Philip give a great speech about how Core isn't a Kamen Rider because Riders are there to help and protect people then, Double Rider says his catchphrase, "Now, let me count your crimes!" Eiji thinks that Shotaro and Philip are really cool and asks Ankh why they can't be like that too since there's also 2 of them. Ankh yells at Eiji to just get the Medals.


+ Core attacks and forces the guys hands, at this point Ankh throws OOO the Kujaku and Condor Medals and he changes into OOO Tajadoru Combo and this transformation causes W CJX to turn into W CycloneJoker Gold Xtreme. The 2 of them combine their strength to do Rider Kick (In which W CJGX  attacks in the sky while OOO Tajadoru Combo from underground) and defeat Core, destroying the 3 black Core Medals and the Memory Memory.


+ Shotaro and Philip come back to the top and Akiko welcomes them home, and she's okay with Riders now. Everyone reverts back to normal including Birth who is revealed to be Gotou. He asks where Eiji is and then walks off. Eiji is shown to be in Brazil... enjoying the carnival.

+ It is time of the wedding which takes place on the same place were Nago and Megumi of Kamen Rider Kiva got married (Toei and your money saving tactics...)! Shotaro was going to walk Akiko down the aisle, but instead Akiko walks with the spirit of her father. Melissa later appears and explains to Akiko about the curse given by the Spider Dopant to her father and that its curse didn't nullify after the Memory Break that Skull made and that she is the only person her father loved.

After the movie, the same teaser found in the official website of 40th Anniversary Kamen Rider film was shown.

Movie Wars Core Official Spoilers Part 2: Nobunaga's Desire


Here's the second part of the spoilers coming from Winter Chevalier of HJU regarding the second part of Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider OOO & W feat. Skull: Movie Wars Core, this time, we will focus on the second part of the film called Nobunaga's Desire. For the first part, you can check it here.

Warning! Spoiler Alert! Read at your own risk.


It starts out by going back and forth between some people digging underground and Kogami talking to Satonaka while he's doing some calligraphy. After the diggers find a coffin, Kougami holds up his masterpiece which reads Nobunaga Oda. They show what is inside of the coffin, inside lies the mummified remains of the warlord.

Next we see people wearing hazmat suits loading cell medals into a large tank, and in another room behind a large pane of glass is Kougami wearing a fancy suit along with Satonaka and Gotou; also of note is that Kougami brought along a cake that says "Happy Birthday" with Nobunaga's symbol on it.


Dr. Maki enters the room where the tank is and begins talking. At this point, Nobunaga is formed in the tank and he comes out filled with rage. After coming out of the tank and he starts attacking everything that's near by. In the process he knocks the doll off of Maki's arm and of course he starts freaking out. Nobunaga proceeds to break through the glass and enter the room where Kougami and the others are. Satonaka screams and hides behind everyone else, and Gotou goes to defend them, but Kougami doesn't let him, instead he picks up the cake and yells "Happy Birthday!" at Nobunaga, who just kinda stands there because he doesn't understand what the heck's going on. He then goes to attack them, but Gotou fires some rounds at his feet and Nobunaga runs away, escaping from the laboratory.

Enter Eiji and Hina at the wedding ceremony. The priest finishes all his lines and tells him to kiss the bride, and just as they were about to kiss...the director yells cut and tells them they're finished for the day. He hands Eiji the money for being an actor (Hina's cut is included in the envelope) and then Eiji runs off, leaving Hina behind and taking all the money. As she starts to chase after him, she trips over the bridal gown and falls ontop of the director.

The next time we see Eiji, he's in the park and there's a line of people in front of him. And he's handing out the money he made from his part time job to them. Hina comes along and yells at him, but he says he's doing his best to help people, telling her that they all have fallen upon some misfortune and he's helping them get back on their feet. Hina then tells him that that's not what's happening at all, that the reality is that they're taking the money and out buying dresses, or alcohol or lunch or what have you.


Eiji hears a scream from somewhere and he runs to help, and he sees a woman being attacked by a monster. The woman has already collapsed and the monster drops a piece of paper with a symbol on it that it's crossed out. Eiji then changes into OOO Tatoba Combo to fight it. The fight ensues with Eiji switching out the Tora Medal for the Gorilla Medal because the monster is too strong. But in the end, the monster gets away and Eiji reverts back and heads back to Cous Coussier.


Outside the shop, he runs into Nobunaga who Eiji bring into the shop because he has amnesia. While in the shop, Nobunaga tries to take the underwear that Eiji has hanging out of his pocket (to be exact, the underwear he will use for tommorow), so Eiji gives them to him, and he proceeds to put them on his head. So, Eiji then decides the best way to teach Nobu-kun about underwear is to get naked and teach him out to put them on properly. Hina comes in at some point in time and wonders what's going on, and Eiji explains that Nobu-kun has amnesia and that they should help him.


Eiji and Nobu-kun (which is what Eiji is calling him at this point) get some part time jobs together, one of which gets them into some big corporation either cleaning or doing deliveries (the source can't remember exact what they took first) and there's 2 people (the president and possibly the vice president) who are talking about a huge problem they're having with the computer programs and that it will take too long to get them up and running or something along those lines. Nobu-kun sits down and then gets it to work in only a minute or so and they are all very impressed and they offer him a job.

Now cue those same 2 business men at a dance competition, where all the girls are competing for some kind of prize or something or other. They're all dancing like the girls in rap videos and stuff, but not Hina's friend. She refuses to dance like that because she only dances ballet. I'm not quite sure how, but she wound up winning the contest anyway, and then the 4 of them all go back to the shop for celebration food.


Intermediately, in here somewhere (perhaps while the dance competition was going on, not quite sure) we see some auction going on for some vase that belonged to Oda Nobunaga. All the people there are bidding pretty high for it, but then a voice comes from the crowd that out bids everyone by a very large amount, and then we see Nobu-kun in a business suit in the back. As he's about to claim his victory and get the vase, we here another voice that out bids Nobu, and that voice would belong to none other than Kougami. They have their own little bidding war, that Nobu eventually wins and then Kougami invites him to ride in the car with him, where he proceeds to show him the Birth Driver and offer him to become the new Birth.

Next we have the monster show up again and attack another woman, which Ankh happens to see (I think this was the first time in the entire movie I saw Ankh). He gives chase after the monster but he can't catch him.

After this we have a scene with Nobu sitting in his office, looking at the 2 vases that he's collected so far (still missing one or so it would seem) and then there's a knock at the door and Eiji comes in in a cleaning outfit. Nobu asks him what he's doing here, and Eiji said he got a part time job working here as a janitor and that he was coming to clean the room. Nobu told Eiji he was fired, and that he should leave immediately. Eiji becomes a little sad because Nobu has changed so much and become quite greedy, and he asks him if he's still wearing the underwear that he gave him. Nobu asked him what the hell he was talking about, and then Eiji left.


Next we see Yoshino dancing ballet, and we also see Eiji and Hina watching her practice from the audience seating. But from the backstage area we can see Nobu in his monster form holding a piece of paper with another symbol and just as he's getting ready to go out to kill her, he stops because the girl reminds him of a girl he used to watch dance back when he was still alive and human. So he reverts back to his human form and walks out on stage, declaring that the girl is his item and no one elses. She tells him to let go and slaps him, and runs away from him. Nobu gets pissed and turns back into his Greeed form.

Eiji becomes even sadder that his friend is actually the monster that's been killing people, and he changes into OOO and goes after him. At some point during this fight, Nobu gets hit into a wall and knocks out a chunk of concrete and it falls down and breaks the dancer girl's ankle, and she cries about not being able to dance anymore.

As the fight goes away from the general area we can see a Cell Medal being held by someone off camera and a mysterious voice as it drops the Cell Medal and it turns the girls desire (to be exact, her dancing shoes) into the Female Ptera Yummy.


We come to see the girl in the hospital. Nobu feels bad about what he's done to cause the girl pain, and he gets a change of heart thanks to a talk from Eiji during their previous fight and he uses his power to heal her ankle, but it takes a lot of energy out of him. Now we come to see the Yummy wreaking havoc and was able to meet the four Greeeds in which they commented something about a certain Giru/Gil. Nobu changes into birth and does a lot of badass stuff (such as using the Crane Arm) even though he is in his weakned state. Later, OOO Gatakiriba Combo defeats the Yummy.


Skipping the little bit of stuff I can't remember, we have Dr. Maki showing up and taking 3 black Core Medals that he apparently created and sticking them into Nobu's body, making his Greed take over. He finds Eiji and tells him that he has to kill him, and then he transforms into the more evolved form of his kaijin state (the one with a big hat and has a mustache). During the fight between them, it shows the ballet dancer dancing on stage during parts of the fight.

OOO defeats Nobunaga using OOO Sagozo Combo, Eiji holds the dying Nobu in his arms while Nobu looks off toward the girl and says that she's really beautiful. He then holds up a flower and says he wants Eiji to give it to her for him, and then he breaks down into nothing but cell medals. Eiji grasps at the medals but then the 3 black Core Medals begin to float up in the air and fly off in the distance and Eiji resolves to go destroy them. End OOO/Nobunaga part.

Some minor notes about the film: Yoshino's ballet sequence is too long and apparently, the segment left a lot of mysteries left unanswered. Also, Eiji is using the Medal Case instead of Ankh throwing him the Medals. It is not sure why he uses the Medal Case and why Ankh has less screen time in this movie.

Movie Wars Core Official Spoilers Part 1: Skull's Message for W


Since the film has just aired in Japan, spoilers coming to those who watched the film started surfacing online and it seems that earlier spoilers found online coming from those who watched the pre-screening are true! To kick things off, we will start with the first segment in this film, Skull's Message for W.

Warning! Spoiler Alert! Read at your own risk.

Kamen Rider W: Skull's Message for W

Note: Events that happened in the 90's are italicized.


The film starts with W fighting the Ptera Yummy and then Ryu shows up not transformed and tries to help fight, swinging that sword around. When Shotaro asks why he didn't transform, Ryu tells him to not ask questions. Then Akiko shows up and says in English this, "Kamen Rider no more" and hits him with the slipper... with its own veil!

The Yummy activates the Memory Memory after he finds out she has a connection the Kamen Riders and it takes her back to past to the year 1999 and see his father's past.


Sokichi was trying to make coffee, but he burned it. He and his partner, Matsu talk a little bit, and then they go to a girl named Melissa and we are shown in a scene in which she sings in a club. At the show, the Spider Dopant shows up and attacks, and Sokichi tries to fight it, but he gets caught. He uses the Stag Phone to get himself released after he gets stuck in the spider's web. The Dopant escapes.


Meanwhile back at the underground of the agency, Shroud is assembling the SkullGarry/RevolGarry. This is when we learned that the two are childhood friends. We learned that Shroud has a background knowledge regarding Dopants and she warns Sokichi about it earlier. After Sokichi tels Shroud that he has seen the monster that she was talking about, she then gives the Skull Memory.


Also, Shotaro and Marina were at the show and Shotaro is amazed on how badass Sokichi was! Sokichi wants to know more about attacker, so his partner, Matsu begins his search in a library. Take note that the music from when Philip goes to the Gaia Library is playing while he is making the search! Sokichi then shows up and it shows that his partner had made a display like they used during the second part of the arc back in the TV series to show all the connections and basically sum up what had happened during the previous episode.

Akiko wakes up from the Memory's effect and then W HeatMetal was getting ready to do a Maximum Drive to destroy the Yummy, but then Akiko pushed him out of the way because she wanted to see more of the memories. The Yummy tried to escape, but she grabbed onto it while it was flying, and the Memory's effect still activated.

The Bat Dopant shows up in here somewhere and then Sokichi goes to the club owners house to find Melissa, but instead he finds the Bat Dopant again with the Spider Dopant. They fight and Sokichi becomes Kamen Rider Skull Crystal for the first time, thanks to Shroud throwing the belt at him and it transforming automatically. It was described that his first transformation is similar to BLACK's.


During the fight, Skull gets pinned down by a vehicle by the Bat Dopant (who has the ability to make vehicles move by using sonar on them) and during the time he's pinned down, he gets a call from a young Akiko, angry that daddy never attended to her birthday party! In which we have this really funny exchange:

Akiko: You didn't even come back for my birthday!
Sokichi: I'm very busy, I'm almost crushed to death!
Akiko: Let's see if you dare pull such a stunt when I get married!
Sokichi: I'll definitely turn up for your wedding. *hangs up*

That gave him the strength to get out from under the vehicle. Future Akiko seeing the scene said, "Even at that time, when I was on the phone with him, he was a Kamen Rider."

She was upset because all her friends, her boyfriend, and even her father were Kamen Riders because when she needs her boyfriend or her father, they need to go and fight. Their priority is fighting, so that's why she didn't want Ryu to be a Rider anymore.

We are then demonstrated with the Spider Dopant's ability to "tiny spiders make loved ones blow up" thing by having the club owner get blown up when his wife touches him. This was proof that the owner wasn't the Spider Dopant like Sokichi originally thought.

It turns out, Matsu is the Spider Dopant! The reason why he becomes the Spider Dopant because he loves Melissa and becomes jealous of their relationship, thus he become the first person to buy a Gaia Memory.


Sokichi was enraged because of what he Matsu did with those people and pursues the Spider Dopant but before that, Melissa makes Sokichi promise that he won't kill him. He promises and then goes off. Skull then gets attacked by the Bat Dopant who was controlling an oil tanker. Skull fights her on top of the tanker and then summons the SkullGarry to help. The Bat Dopant is defeated and she reverted back to Eren Komori, the user of the Memory. She begs for Skull's mercy but Skull is resolute.

He then goes after his partner and fights him. In the end, he uses his Maximum Drive which killed Matsu. We are shown in a scene in which Melissa mourns over Matsu's dead body and calls Skull a monster. Even at the end, Sokichi still considers Matsu as his "partner."

Then we are shown back to Future Akiko saying that Kamen Riders are a kind of curse and then it goes back to the future, where the Ptera Yummy is holding the Memory Memory and it starts swirling with power and shoots a beam of light into the sky. End Skull/W portion.

Some minor notes about this segment: Accel Trial, W FangJoker, W LunaTrigger never appeared also, a certain Stone died in the segment which is described by our source is like the 90's version of Watcherman.

The second and third part of the spoilers will be posted later once the one who placed the sequential spoilers online will post it. To those who have read his original post, I added some details posted coming from other spoilers found online.

Special thanks to Winter Chevalier of HJU for sharing your experience with us and to DecaEnd of HJU and Deadpool of HJU for the bits of spoilers!

Here's the preview of the music video of the theme song of Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider OOO & W feat. Skull: Movie Wars Core called, HEART∞BREAKER by Koji Kikkawa and Maki Ohguro which formed a group for this collaboration called, DaiKichi.


Wait. Isn't that the location of the music video for Stay the Ride Alive? And I am still not used with Koji Kikkawa being blonde.

Movie Wars Core TV Special Comments


Just today, the TV Special for the upcoming film, Kamen Rider x Kamen Rider OOO & W feat. Skull: Movie Wars Core aired on TV-Asahi and here is the summary of comments coming from Henshin Justice Unlimited (HJU) that was able to watch this special.

The Female Ptera Yummy has a very weak voice according to DecaEnd. Her voice was first heard in the Special when she shouted at OOO Gatakiriba Combo.


Kamen Rider Birth had less screen time in the special but they were able to see how one of his arms, the Crane Arm was attached in his body, which is pretty neat.


The special also features how Kamen Rider Skull first transformed in which he is walking out of a hole on a wall and looking at himself from a reflection from a car. According to the one who posted that comment, it seems that this film will have very emotional scenes.

Here are more pics posted by some user from 2ch which was taken from the TV Special.
