It turns out the treasure was already seized before Shocker or Hongo found its location. He was destroyed by Kamen Rider #1's Rider Kick and Rider Chop. [Grim Reaper, Chameleon]

Notes
- Lasting two episodes unlike his predecessors, Grimreaper Chameleon is the first example in the Kamen Rider Series of what can be more accurately termed monster of the fortnight rather than "monster of the week". This would become especially commonplace in the Heisei era, particularly during the years 2007-2013.
