Kamen Rider G (仮面ライダーG, Kamen Raidā Jī, Masked Rider G) is a Japanese television special in Toei Company's Kamen Rider Series, produced in collaboration with Ishimori Productions. It serves to celebrate the 50th anniversary of TV Asahi as well as promote Kamen Rider Decade, which is the 10th entry of the Heisei Era.

Plot[]

Goro is a sommelier who transforms into the titular Kamen Rider G to fight the former anti-terrorism unit Shade, who captured and brainwashed him into a soldier, before the unit went underground due to the use of kidnapped people as supersoldiers. During a raid at TV Asahi led by Daido Oda, who demands the release of their imprisoned leader, Seizan Tokugawa, Goro encounters his girlfriend Eri Hinata. She jogs his memory and he attacks his former comrades while getting Eri out of harm's way. This makes Oda reveal his true form as the Phylloxera Worm while his subordinates transform into the Acarina Worm, the Subst Worm, the Brachypelma Worm Viridis, and the Cochlea Worm to attempt to destroy the traitor. After an extended fight across the city and countryside, G manages to defeat Phylloxera Worm thanks to the encouragement of Decade and the other primary Heisei Riders appearing before him. Running off, Goro vows to save the world from Shade before returning to Eri.

Notes[]

  • Several references can be made to past Kamen Rider series, mainly Kamen Rider Kabuto.
    • Kamen Rider G's transformation pose is similar to that of Kamen Rider Gatack and the transformation sequence is similar to that of Kamen Rider Faiz. Also, his arms get an "echo" after-effect, which was also done for Skyrider's and ZX's transformations.
    • The enemy fought is a Worm.
    • The soundtracks used are from Kamen Rider 555, (The Faiz Blaster music is used for the transformation music) and Kamen Rider Kabuto.
    • When executing Swirling Rider Kick, the energy charged to power the kick is similar to how Kamen Rider Kabuto's and Gatack's Rider Kicks are charged.
    • The rose of death is a reference to Kamen Rider Caucasus, who leaves a blue rose near the body of his murdered victim.
    • Tokyo Tower can be seen near the ending, another reference to Kamen Rider Kabuto.
    • During the helicopter chase scene, Kamen Rider G is riding Kamen Rider V3's Hurricane from the film Kamen Rider The Next.
  • During the beginning of the mall scene, a statue of Doraemon and a movie poster for Engine Sentai Go-Onger vs. GekirangerIcon-crosswiki, which premiered the same month as G, can be seen.
  • Due to SMAP being part of Johnny & Associates, an infamous agency with tight contracts on their talent and music, this special was never rebroadcast nor released on home video. G would not be seen again until Kamen Rider Zi-O: Over Quartzer but only in-suit as Inagaki was unable to appear.
