What Are All Kamen Riders Movies In Order?

Kamen Rider has been a staple of Japanese tokusatsu since the 70s, and keeping track of all the series feels like trying to count stars sometimes! The franchise officially kicked off in 1971 with the original 'Kamen Rider,' and since then, it's exploded into dozens of iterations. As of now, there are over 30 mainline series, not counting spin-offs, movies, or alternate universe takes like 'Kamen Rider Amazons.' The Heisei era alone gave us 20 Riders, from 'Kuuga' to 'Zi-O,' and Reiwa's already added a handful more like 'Zero-One' and 'Geats.' What's wild is how each series reinvents the formula—some lean into gritty drama ('Black Sun'), others embrace goofy charm ('Fourze'). I love digging into the lore behind lesser-known ones like 'Shin Kamen Rider' or the manga adaptations. Honestly, binge-watching them all would take months, but the variety is half the fun! If you're new to the franchise, 'W' or 'Build' are great entry points before diving into the deep end.

Man, if you're trying to cut through the noise and watch only what's important to understanding the Decade storyline, there's one film that genuinely matters: 'Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider W & Decade: Movie War 2010'. That movie includes a Decade-focused segment often called the Decade epilogue, and it ties up several threads from the series while giving proper closure to some character arcs. I watched it after finishing the show and felt like it patched together loose ends the TV finale left intentionally fuzzy. The other theatrical release that people throw around is 'Kamen Rider: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker' (often just enjoyed as a big celebration of riders). It's a blast — full of fanservice, cameos, and adrenaline — but it's mostly a stand-alone spectacle. It doesn't change the main Decade plot, so treat it like a fun extra rather than required reading. Later crossovers like 'Super Hero Taisen' give Decade big moments too, but those are purely celebratory cameos and don't impact the core narrative. So my viewing order recommendation as a Decade die-hard: watch the TV series straight through, then watch 'Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider W & Decade: Movie War 2010' for the true epilogue. Slot 'All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker' in whenever you want a joyful rider party. It’s the difference between story-essential closure and pure fan-service spectacle — both enjoyable, but only one actually completes Decade's tale in a meaningful way for me.

Man, diving into the Showa era of 'Kamen Rider' feels like unearthing a treasure trove of classic tokusatsu goodness! While the term 'movies' might be a bit loose by today's standards, there absolutely were theatrical releases and specials during that era. The original 'Kamen Rider' series (1971-1973) had films like 'Kamen Rider' (1971), which was more of an extended pilot, and 'Kamen Rider vs. Shocker' (1972), a full-blown crossover spectacle. Later Showa Riders like 'V3,' 'X,' and 'Black' also got their own cinematic adventures, often tying into the TV plots or featuring original villains. What's fascinating is how these films were event cinema for kids back then—big-screen showdowns with higher stakes and sometimes even experimental storytelling. 'Kamen Rider: 8 Riders vs. Galaxy King' (1980) is a personal favorite, cramming almost every active Rider of the era into one chaotic, glorious battle. The Showa movies might feel dated compared to modern CGI-fests, but their practical effects and raw energy are a huge part of their charm. Plus, they’re a goldmine for understanding how the franchise evolved from its gritty roots to the flashier Heisei era.

Man, diving into the world of 'All Kamen Rider' stuff feels like opening a treasure chest of tokusatsu goodness! From what I've pieced together through years of geeking out, the 'All Kamen Rider' series isn't just one show—it's a collection of crossover movies and specials celebrating the franchise. The big ones that come to mind are 'Kamen Rider: All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker' (2009) and 'Kamen Rider: All Riders vs. Great Shocker' (2012). There's also 'Super Hero Taisen' films where Riders team up with Super Sentai, but those are more like bonus feasts for fans. What's wild is how these films juggle dozens of Riders at once, like a superhero family reunion with way more belt gadgets. I lose track of who's who after Heisei Phase 2, but the sheer scale always hypes me up. The production team must have a nightmare coordinating all those suits! Still, nothing beats seeing Ichigo and Decade sharing screen time—it's like watching history shake hands.

Navigating the wild, wonderful world of Kamen Rider can feel like untangling a pile of sentai belts—exciting but overwhelming! If you're committed to chronological order, start with the OG 1971 'Kamen Rider' series. Its gritty Showa-era charm lays the foundation, though the episodic monster-of-the-week format might feel slow by today's standards. From there, work through the Showa gems like 'V3' and 'Black' before hitting Heisei Phase 1 (2000-2009), where 'Kuuga' and 'Agito' reinvented the franchise with serialized storytelling. Heisei Phase 2 (2009-2019) is where things get juicy—'W' blends noir detective vibes with body-sharing hijinks, while 'Gaim' mashes samurai drama with fruit-armored dance battles (yes, really). Reiwa era kicks off with 'Zero-One', perfect for AI ethics debates with punchy suit designs. Pro tip: Don't stress about strict chronology—many series reboot the mythos. I jumped in with 'Build' and fell for its tragic scientist protagonist before circling back to older stuff! Honestly? The best order is whatever gets you hooked. Maybe sample eras like buffet plates—I still revisit 'Kabuto' just to watch Tendou walk through explosions like it's a catwalk.

Man, Kamen Rider V3 holds such a special place in my heart! The original 1973 series was iconic, but yeah, there were a few movies too. The most notable one is 'Kamen Rider V3 vs. Destron Mutants,' a theatrical release that came out during the show's run. It's this wild, action-packed side story where V3 teams up with the original Kamen Riders to take down Destron's new super mutants. The suits looked amazing on the big screen, and the fight choreography felt even more intense. There's also 'Kamen Rider V3 & Rider Man: The Great Battle of the 7 Kamen Riders,' though it's more of a compilation film with some new scenes spliced in. Honestly, these old-school tokusatsu flicks have this raw charm—practical effects, over-the-top villain schemes, and that classic Showa-era energy. If you're into V3, they're totally worth tracking down, even if the quality isn't modern HD crisp.

You know, I have a special place in my heart for the 'Kamen Rider' franchise! It has this amazing blend of action, drama, and all sorts of moral lessons wrapped in colorful costumes. As for movies based on 'Kamen Rider One', there are indeed a couple of notable mentions! The character itself is synonymous with the beginning of the franchise, and that legacy is celebrated in several films. One of the key films featuring 'Kamen Rider One' is 'Kamen Rider: The Next.' This movie offers a modern take on the original series, elevating the storyline with fresh visuals and an updated perspective on the classic character. The blend of nostalgia with new elements is something pretty special for old fans and newcomers alike. I love how it reinterprets the original character while keeping the essence that made it iconic. Then there's 'Kamen Rider World,’ which actually pays homage to the original 'Kamen Rider' series by bringing together multiple riders, including 'Kamen Rider One.' It's a treat to see how different characters interact and how the entire universe has expanded since the 1970s. If you haven't checked them out, I highly recommend diving in! The mix of thrilling action and those classic emotional backstories really creates a fascinating viewing experience.

Man, trying to count all the 'Kamen Rider' seasons feels like herding electrified grasshoppers—it’s chaotic but thrilling! Officially, as of now, there are over 40 distinct seasons if you count everything from the original 1971 series to the latest Reiwa era entries like 'Kamen Rider Geats.' But here’s the twist: some spin-offs, movies, and even those weird crossovers like 'Kamen Rider Decade' blur the lines. The Showa era alone had 10, Heisei Phase 1 added another 10, and Phase 2 piled on 10 more before Reiwa kicked in. And let’s not forget the standalone gems like 'Kamen Rider Shin' or the SD shorts—those count for hardcore fans too! What’s wild is how each era reflects its time. Showa Riders were gritty vigilantes, Heisei leaned into tragic backstories ('Kamen Rider Faiz' still hurts), and Reiwa? They’re experimenting with gameshow themes and corporate satire. If you’re new, I’d say start with 'Kamen Rider W'—it’s the perfect mix of detective noir and monster-of-the-week fun. But be warned: once you fall down this rabbit hole, you’ll be debating Rider systems and belt jingles for life.

Man, the Heisei era of Kamen Rider was a wild ride for tokusatsu fans, and the movies? Absolute gems sprinkled between the series runs. 'Kamen Rider Den-O: I'm Born!' stands out as a hilarious time-travel romp—the Taros' chaotic energy is infectious, and it perfectly complements the show's tone. Then there's 'Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/The Gaia Memories of Fate,' which delivers a noir-ish vibe with a satisfying payoff for the Phillip-Shotaro dynamic. For sheer spectacle, 'Kamen Rider Gaim: Soccer Dai Shingeki' is bonkers in the best way—fruit-armored riders playing soccer? Yes, please. And let's not forget 'Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: True Ending,' which ties up loose ends with emotional punches and flashy final forms. These aren't just side stories; they elevate the series with deeper character moments or absurd fun.

Kamen Rider is one of those franchises that feels like it's everywhere once you start looking! I stumbled onto a few episodes on Tubi a while back—totally free, though they rotate their library sometimes. Crunchyroll has some of the newer seasons too, especially the recent Reiwa-era stuff like 'Kamen Rider Zero-One'. If you're into older series, you might need to get creative. I found 'Kamen Rider Black' on YouTube uploaded by fans (with subtitles!), though those can vanish overnight. Some dedicated Tokusatsu sites archive episodes, but quality varies. Honestly, half the fun is the hunt—it feels like uncovering hidden treasure when you finally track down that one obscure season.
