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 the Movie War. However, this trend appears to have stopped with Gaim, as Drive did not make any cameo appearances in some previous Kamen Rider series.

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 to fight 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 new Rider not only defeats, but also finishes off his opponent.
 * First early-bird cameo where the only Rider the new Rider meets is his predecessor.

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 series. In this case, Yuki Jojima.

Kamen Rider Wizard
Kamen Rider Wizard appears to fight the remaining 4 replicas of 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 where the new Rider faces multiple opponents rather than just one.
 * 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 current Rider does not watch the new Rider fight his opponent.
 * First early-bird cameo to play the new Rider's theme song (Director's Cut only).

Kamen Rider Gaim

 * Main article: The Kamen Rider Rings/Neverending Story

Kamen Rider Gaim arrives to the location where Wizard and Beast are and finishes off the Monsters. After finishing them off, he introduces himself to the Riders as Gaim right before he returns to his world. He later returns to fight Amadum along with the other Riders. After Amadum is defeated, he vanishes back to his 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.
