Notes[]
- Unlike previous episodes, Kamen Rider does not manage to destroy the titular Shocker monster, and the battle is continued in the next episode, making this the first example of a two-parter in the Kamen Rider Series, where the "Monster of the Week" becomes more accurately "monster of the fortnight". This would become especially commonplace in the Heisei era, particularly during the years 2007-2013.
