Closing Screens

Closing screens are a very notable feature of Heisei era Kamen Rider shows. They appear at the end of an episode, most of which feature the main Rider's collectible devices. In the Heisei Phase 2 era, they also appear in Movie War films at the end of each Rider's segment.

They've become such a prominent feature, that they get featured in the Battride War series. In Genesis, Showa Riders' closing screen is from their belts.

Kamen Rider Kuuga
The end of each episode (except the final episode) has the camera zoom out and shows the Ancient Hieroglyphics written "To Be Continued", probably as a means to continue with the color background representing the main theme of Kuuga's form in that episode.

Kamen Rider Agito
The end of each episode has the camera zoom out forming a border with the top side on each left and right will be written A and Ω while the bottom is the diagonal opposite written and also representing the Agito symbol on above the border.

Kamen Rider Ryuki
The end of each episode (except the final episode) and 13 riders features the shattered glass forming into one and showing one of the Advent Cards appearing in front of the scene.

Kamen Rider 555
The end of each episode (except the final episode) is a bit similar to Agito with the difference that laser projectiles are shot from the top of the screen, waving, and after a faster move to the each opposite side, the border comes out and the background is added with the Kamen Rider 555 opening background.

Kamen Rider Blade
All episodes begin with a hallway with cards on the ground, before it reaches the Change Beetle card and zooms in right into the episode; at the end of each episode, the camera zooms out of Change Beetle into the pile of Rouze Cards. From episode 18 onward, after zooming out from the Rouze Cards, the even numbered episodes (up to 46) shows the cards flying off screen before one settles in the middle of the screen while the odd numbered episodes (up to 47) shows various cards flying across the screen before one settles in the middle of the screen. Episodes 48 and 49 do the reverse. Episode 44 is unique in that it shows two Rouze Cards with one transforming into the other.

Kamen Rider Hibiki
The end of each episode (except the final episode) has the screen go black and show the title of the episode alongside Hibiki's logo.

Kamen Rider Kabuto
The end of each episode features insect wings appearing by the side of the screen. The final episode features the plant's stem growing from each side.

Kamen Rider Den-O
The end of each episode features the middle portion of the scene spinning in a counter-clockwise manner, at first in the time of a ticking clock, before spinning normally at the third tick.

In the final episode, there is no ticking sound heard, and the middle portion spins clockwise.

Kamen Rider Kiva
The end of each episode (except the final episode) features chains framing the four corners of the screen before even more chains block the entire shot.

Kamen Rider Decade
The end of each episode shows the Decadriver. From episodes 1 to 18, the logo of the A.R. World's primary Rider shines red. For episode 19, all of the logos turn red. After episode 20 onwards, they shine red in a clockwise manner.

Kamen Rider W
The end of each odd-numbered episode (not including episode 49) shows Kamen Rider Double's main six Gaia Memories, while each even-numbered episode (and episode 49) displays the series logo in the bottom right corner.

Kamen Rider OOO
The beginning (after the opening) and end of each episode (not including episodes 28 and 48) shows all of the Core Medals that Eiji has in his possession at the time (the beginning "Count the Medals" in some cases differs from the end of the previous episode). They are backed by a "stone wall", which in the final version collapses into a mass of Cell Medals. In movies and special, it only shows one copy of each Core Medals, despite that Eiji gains a few copies of several Core Medals such as the Taka Core Medal.

Kamen Rider Fourze
The end of each odd-numbered episode features a border with a "To Be Continued" sign on it, while the even-numbered episode features the series logo at the bottom right corner of the screen. Episode 48 features the logo in the bottom left corner instead.

Kamen Rider Wizard
At the end of every episode (except for episode 53), Wizard's Magical Portal in Flame Style will pop up at the bottom right corner of the screen. In Movie War Ultimatum, this would change as the Magical Portal becomes the border. In The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle, the Magical Portal pops up at the bottom left corner of the screen. In Battride War series, the large Magical Portal pops up at the center, but without Wizard's Rider mask logo blocking the screen of the end gameplay.

Kamen Rider Gaim
The end of each episode (not including the last two episodes) shows all of the Lockseeds in the possession of one of the main four Armored Riders. And their Ride Wear colors as backgroud (except Ryugen), also features their Rider logos.

When Closing Screen appears, the sound of Lockseed insert Sengoku Driver was plays, with the zipper come in.


 * In Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Drive & Gaim: Movie War Full Throttle, other than the Lockseeds used by Gaim, it also features Lockseeds used by the other Riders in the Gaim portion of the movie.
 * In the first twin set of Gaim Gaiden, each closing screen includes a Lockseed belonging to the main villain Rider, while the second twin set of Gaim Gaiden has a single closing screen showing the logos of the two main Armored Riders featured and one Lockseed from each Rider, this one being shown at the end of the Duke portion, before unzipping to show the Knuckle portion.

Kamen Rider Drive
Four of the Shift Cars that were used in the episode are shown before the teaser for the next episode. The first 11 episodes show the top view of the Shift Cars.

Kamen Rider Ghost
The end of each episode shows the Ghost Eyecons currently in the Rider's possession, with Ghost's single horn symbol as background and four corners filled by the Ore Ghost Eyecon.

From episode 4 to 15, the closing screen would be divided into two sections, with the right side displaying Ghost's background, Eyecons, and its two corners filled by the Ore Ghost Eyecon while the left side displays Specter's double horn symbol background, Eyecons, and its two corners filled by the Specter Ghost Eyecon.

In episode 10, due to the 15 heroic Ghost Eyecons ending up in Chikara Saionji's possession, the Eyecons in the closing screen briefly appear for a while before vanishing.

In episode 12, the Ore and Specter Ghost Eyecons placed in the corners of the screen would be replaced by the Toucon Boost Ghost Eyecon. However, all subsequent episodes only had the Toucon Boost Eyecon on Ghost's half of the screen.

From episode 16 to 22 and from episode 27 onwards, the closing screen is divided into three sections, with the right side displaying Ghost's background and Eyecons, the lower left side displaying Specter's background and Eyecons, and the upper left side displaying Necrom's single horn symbol background and Eyecons. Also, the Eyecons in the corners have been removed.

In episode 21, due to Ghost's 10 heroic Ghost Eyecons ending up in Igor's possession, Ghost's Eyecons don't appear in the closing scene.

From episode 23 to 26, Specter is removed and the closing screen is once again divided into two sections, with the right side displaying Ghost's background and Eyecons while the left side displays Necrom's background and Eyecons.

Each episode's closing screen has the Ghost Eyecons arranged in a different manner, with the Eyecon being prominently featured placed at the front most row.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid
The closing screen merely reads "See you Next game". For the first few episodes, the color of the text changes depending on which Rider and their Gashat is prominently featured, though for most of the later part of the series, the text remains pink in color. For episode 45, a unique closing screen is featured, with the text "THE GAME IS FOREVER" being overlayed over the final scene. This same text is used in Kamen Rider Genm vs. Lazer but with a black background. In the teaser for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: True Ending which follows after the end of the episode, another closing screen is shown, reading "The Game Ends". That same closing screen appears in the post-credits scene of movie alongside another one that says "The Game Never Ends?".

For specials and web series content, the sentence ends with a question mark rather than a full stop for standalone features, or for the last episode of a miniseries. Kamen Rider Snipe: EPISODE ZERO features the text divided into yellow and navy, representing Snipe's suit color itself.
