Category:Pre-Series Cameo Debuts

Ever since Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker, the protagonist of an upcoming new Kamen Rider series has made his first appearance in the summer movie (or in Gaim's case, the final episode) of his predecessor. This also foreshadows an upcoming Movie War film. So far, the only Heisei Era Phase 2 Rider that has failed to make a pre-series cameo debut is Kamen Rider Drive.

Kamen Rider W
Kamen Rider Double appears to fight Shadow Moon, who is giving Decade and Kuuga Rising Ultimate a hard time, before heading back to Futo.

Kamen Rider OOO
Kamen Rider OOO appears and defeats the Luna Dopant as Double heads to Futo Tower.
 * First early-bird cameo where the new Rider first appears in human form and then transforms.
 * First early-bird cameo where the only Rider the new Rider meets is his predecessor.
 * First early-bird cameo where the new Rider not only defeats his opponent, but also finishes them off.

Kamen Rider Fourze
Kamen Rider Fourze appears fighting Gara along with OOO before heading back to Amanogawa High.
 * First early-bird cameo where the new Rider fights only in his main form.
 * First early-bird cameo where the current Rider fights with the new Rider rather than leaving it to him.
 * First early-bird cameo where the new Rider appears in Rider form first before negating his transformation to reveal his human form.
 * First early-bird cameo to feature another character from the new Rider's series. In this case, Yuki Jojima.

Kamen Rider Wizard
Kamen Rider Wizard appears to fight the remaining four replicas of the Horoscopes members for Fourze and Meteor as they head into space with the Kamen Rider Club.
 * First early-bird cameo to take place in the middle of the movie rather than towards the end.
 * First early-bird cameo since All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker where the new Rider does not appear out of suit.
 * First early-bird cameo where the Secondary Rider meets the new Rider.
 * First early-bird cameo where the new Rider faces multiple opponents rather than just one.
 * First early-bird cameo where the current Rider does not watch the new Rider's fight.
 * First early-bird cameo to play the new Rider's theme song (Director's Cut only).

Kamen Rider Gaim
Kamen Rider Gaim travels through a portal to the location where Wizard and Beast are and finishes off the Monsters they were fighting. Afterwards, he introduces himself to the Riders as Gaim before returning to the main world. He later returns to fight Amadum along with the other Riders. After Amadum is defeated, he vanishes back to the main world.
 * Unlike other Rider cameos, Gaim first debuts in the current Rider's series instead of his summer movie.
 * First early-bird cameo where the new Rider's equipment does not announce any of his attacks.
 * First early-bird cameo where the new Rider finishes off his opponent with the current Rider.

Kamen Rider Ghost
Kamen Rider Ghost arrives and battles a few Future Roidmudes. He later appears in Shinnosuke Tomari's dream, defeating the spirits of Freeze (Super Evolved State), Sword and Thief, before appearing yet again in reality, destroying the Ganma who was after the Newton Ghost Eyecon and claiming the Eyecon back.
 * First early-bird cameo where the new Rider does not meet his predecessor in the movie. However, he does in the predecessor's TV series.
 * First early-bird cameo since The Gaia Memories of Fate where the new Rider uses more than one form.
 * First early-bird cameo since Wizard's debut where the new Rider appears in both his predecessor's movie as well as the TV series.
 * Unlike Wizard, Ghost appeared for 2 episodes whereas Wizard only made a cameo appearance in Fourze's final episode.
