Kamen Rider 3's creation was caused by using of [[History Modifying Machine]] developed by [[Roidmude 089]] disguised as [[Doctor D]] using the very last of his cells. He was first seen using [[Go Shijima]] as his training dummy for his preparation for Shocker's plan. Although he did spared Mach as he told the Rider that he is not the one he was after.

Shocker sent Kamen Rider 3 back in time in 1973, right after the Double Riders [[Gel-Shocker Annihilated! The End of the Leader!!|defeated the Great Leader of Gel-Shocker]]. He appeared before the riders and defeated them. The Liner crews arrived too late to prevent Shocker from rising again and changing the course of history itself, with [[Kotaro Minami]] remaining as BLACK, and also resulting in many Riders being brainwashed. However, there are the minority of Riders who were not affected by the changing of history, such as the Liner crews (notably from [[DenLiner]] and [[ZeroLiner]], including [[Takumi Inui]]), who are trying to resist the reign of Shocker. Because of this he is known as the "Rider who should never have existed."

Because of this he is known as the "Rider who should never have existed."
   
In an altered world, now he's on a run from both Riders led by [[Shiro Kazami|Kamen Rider V3]] and Shocker, only [[Shinnosuke Tomari]], [[Yuto Sakurai]], and Go Shijima who appears to assist him to clear his name as a "Rider".
+
In an altered world, he now was on the run from the Kamen Riders who are turned into Shocker Riders. Only [[Shinnosuke Tomari]], [[Yuto Sakurai]], and Go Shijima appear to assist him to clear his name as a "Rider".
   
He is soon rebrainwashed again, when sacrificing his life saving Yuto for being a time traveler at night. On the next day, he and the Shocker members caught Yuto, but also held Kiriko as a hostage, who is revealed to be alive, while at the same time Shinnosuke fully recovered his memories. He is soon challanged by Shinnosuke for a race on the later day. If Tomari wins, Shocker must set Kuroi and the other Riders free from their brainwashing. Apparently as he and the other brainwashed Riders cheats to have Drive, he himself lost, due to Drive having remaining allies, Faiz, Mach and Black RX, especially Drive's empathy of being a champion and a Rider. Once he regained his sense, and fully accepted his loss, he wasn't aware that he was also being created as a vessel for the Great Leader's revival as a [[Rider Robo]].
+
After acting as if he was attempting to sacrifice his life by saving Yuto from a large group of Shocker Riders, Kuroi revealed that his true loyalties lied with Shocker, he betrays Yuto, revealing that Rider Town was a trap for Kamen Riders. He is then challenged by Shinnosuke, who had arrived and had anticipated the trap, to a race, under the conditions that if Tomari wins, Shocker must set Kiriko, who was revealed to be alive, free and release the Riders from their brainwashing. Throughout the race he and the other brainwashed Riders cheat to ensure Drive's loss. This however fails, due to Drive having remaining allies in Faiz, Mach and Black RX, as well as Drive's empathy as a champion of justice and a Rider, especially about Rider 3's regret on killing the original Double Riders before the alteration timeline. After losing to Drive, Rider 3 accepted his loss, while Shocker still do not know how to accept theirs, as the Great Leader took Rider 3 and held him as a prisoner to activate Rider Robo.

Icon-driveThis article is about a rider in Kamen Rider Drive.

Template:Characterinfo

For the rider named Kamen Rider V3 or the other Kamen Rider 3 that appeared in Kamen Rider 3 vs. General Black, see Shiro Kazami and Kazuya Taki.
"Win and you are just, lose and you are evil."
―Kamen Rider 3's words to Drive.[src]

Kyoichiro Kuroi (黒井 響一郎, Kuroi Kyoichirō) is Kamen Rider 3 (仮面ライダー3号, Kamen Raidā Sangō), alternatively designated Shocker Rider 3 (ショッカーライダー3号, Shokkā Raidā Sangō), making his first appearance in Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Vs. Kamen Rider Drive Spring Vacation One-Hour Combining SpecialIcon-crosswiki and later in Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3Icon-crosswiki. He is the third Kamen Rider cyborg created by Shocker following the original Double Riders, Kamen Riders 1 and 2, that came before him decades ago.

History

Origin

Kyochiro Kuroi was once a failed F-1 racer until he was "captured" by the remnants of Shocker, or perhaps, he himself found and confronted them, and let himself turned into a cyborg to be the strongest one there is. Unaware to Kyoichiro, he was added with a special attachment to be a vessel for the Great Leader's revival as the Rider Robo.

First Deployment

Rider 3 (Ninninger vs

Rider 3 introduces himself to Go Shijima before fighting him.

Kamen Rider 3's creation was caused by using of History Modifying Machine developed by Roidmude 089 disguised as Doctor D using the very last of his cells. He was first seen using Go Shijima as his training dummy for his preparation for Shocker's plan. Although he did spared Mach as he told the Rider that he is not the one he was after. After Roidmude 089's demise, Kamen Rider 3 opened his helmet, commented that said Roidmude was a prototype of the History Modifying Machine and that Shocker's true plan is about to start. [Shuriken Sentai Ninninger Vs. Kamen Rider Drive Spring Vacation One-Hour Combining Special]

The Rider Who Never Was

Battle of the Threes

3 fights V3.

Shocker sent Kamen Rider 3 back in time in 1973, right after the Double Riders defeated the Great Leader of Gel-Shocker. He appeared before the riders and defeated them. The Liner crews arrived too late to prevent Shocker from rising again and changing the course of history itself, with Kotaro Minami remaining as BLACK, and also resulting in many Riders being brainwashed. However, there are the minority of Riders who were not affected by the changing of history, such as the Liner crews (notably from DenLiner and ZeroLiner, including Takumi Inui), who are trying to resist the reign of Shocker. Because of this he is known as the "Rider who should never have existed."

In an altered world, he now was on the run from the Kamen Riders who are turned into Shocker Riders. Only Shinnosuke Tomari, Yuto Sakurai, and Go Shijima appear to assist him to clear his name as a "Rider".

After acting as if he was attempting to sacrifice his life by saving Yuto from a large group of Shocker Riders, Kuroi revealed that his true loyalties lied with Shocker, he betrays Yuto, revealing that Rider Town was a trap for Kamen Riders. He is then challenged by Shinnosuke, who had arrived and had anticipated the trap, to a race, under the conditions that if Tomari wins, Shocker must set Kiriko, who was revealed to be alive, free and release the Riders from their brainwashing. Throughout the race he and the other brainwashed Riders cheat to ensure Drive's loss. This however fails, due to Drive having remaining allies in Faiz, Mach and Black RX, as well as Drive's empathy as a champion of justice and a Rider, especially about Rider 3's regret on killing the original Double Riders before the alteration timeline. After losing to Drive, Rider 3 accepted his loss, while Shocker still do not know how to accept theirs, as the Great Leader took Rider 3 and held him as a prisoner to activate Rider Robo.

As Kyoichiro bid his allies farewell and, he states that they'll see him on the other side.
