Kamen Rider W Returns

Kamen Rider W Returns (仮面ライダーＷ（ダブル） RETURNS, Kamen Raidā Daburu Ritānzu?) is a set of two V-Cinema (direct-to-video) releases that serve as spin-offs of characters from the Kamen Rider W television series and films. These films focus on the characters of Ryu Terui (Minehiro Kinomoto) as Kamen Rider Accel and Katsumi Daido (Mitsuru Matsuoka of SOPHIA) as Kamen Rider Eternal. The series' main protagonists Shotaro Hidari (Renn Kiriyama), Philip (Masaki Suda), and Akiko Narumi (Hikaru Yamamoto) also are featured in each film. Koichi Sakamoto directs both films, with Keiichi Hasegawa writing the Accel portion and Riku Sanjo writing the Eternal portion.

Kamen Rider Accel
Kamen Rider Accel (仮面ライダーアクセル, Kamen Raidā Akuseru?), set for release on April 21, 2011 (with rentals out on April 8), is a story set after the events of Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider OOO & W Featuring Skull: Movie War Core. While settling into married life with Akiko, Ryu Terui is brought onto a case involving a woman named Aoi Katsuragi. But framed for murdering a fellow officer, he goes on the run to a furious Akiko's shock under the idea that he is two-timing her. In the process, Ryu learns that Aoi's father is the Commander Dopant (コマンダー・ドーパント, Komandā Dōpanto?), leader of the One Dopant Army (ワン・ドーパント・アーミー, Wan Dōpanto Āmī?), who uses his Kamen Soldiers (仮面兵士, Kamen Heishi?, Masked Soldiers) to find the Gaia Memory Enhancement Adapter (ガイアメモリ強化アダプター, Gaia Memori Kyōka Adaputā?) to make him stronger. Fighting the Commander Dopant, Accel acquires a new form.[1][2]

Kamen Rider Eternal
Kamen Rider Eternal (仮面ライダーエターナル, Kamen Raidā Etānaru?), set for release on July 21, 2011 (with rentals out on July 8), is primarily set before the events of Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate. A woman with psychic powers named Mina arrives in Futo to avenge the death of Katsumi Daido, and when she comes across Shotaro, Philip, and Akiko, she tells them how Daido was actually a hero. Mina proceeds to reveal herself as member of a group of psychic-powered soldiers created by Foundation X to destroy NEVER and the chain of events that led to Daido's madness when he first obtained the Eternal Memory.[2] The Eyes Dopant (アイズ・ドーパント, Aizu Dōpanto?) also appears.[3] The original form of Kamen Rider Eternal known as Red Flare (レッドフレア, Reddo Furea?) also appears in the film, being the form Kamen Rider Eternal can only attain by using the standard Eternal Memory, rather than its T2 counterpart in A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate which automatically transforms Kamen Rider Eternal into the more powerful Blue Flare (ブルーフレア, Burū Furea?) form.[4]
