The story will involve traveling through space and time to Kamen Rider 1's world, and it appears that all of the past Kamen Riders will be making an appearance.
As for rumors circulating a few weeks ago, original actors for Kamen Rider Kabuto, Den-O, V3, X and Black will each reprise their roles. Although as of now, nothing is confirmed.
In addition, the official site for OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Rider movie opened last December 18 and features a teaser for the movie.
UPDATE: According to NeonZ of HJU, there have been some rumorsregarding the staffs for the OOO - Den-O - All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Rider movie which includes Kenji Konuta, writer of Kamen Rider Decade's Kabuto World, as the writer; Kobayashi for setting cooperation; and Taro Sakamoto as the director.
As the debut of Kamen Rider OOO's most powerful combo, Kamen Rider OOO TaJaDoru, comes nearer, here are more information regarding this form and his base stats.
Kamen Rider OOO TaJaDoru Base stats:
Length: 198 cm
Weight: 87 kg
Punch: 6.5 ton
Kick: 15 ton
Jump: Up to 160 m
Speed: 100 m in 4 s
Special Attack: 120 ton
As a result after gathering the Taka (Hawk), Kujaku (Peafowl) and Condor Medals, Kamen Rider OOO will finally be able to transform into the complete bird combo, calledKamen Rider OOO TaJaDoru combo. He's equipped with theTaJaSpinneron his left hand which utilizes the energy residing in O Medals. On his back, he has wings that he can fold out which allows supersonic flight. Kamen Rider OOO TaJaDoru combo is really different from the other combos. It even turns the usual Hawk head into"Hawk Head Brave."The crest on the chest turns into a peafowl and it's the only combo that does this. TheOOO TaJaDoru in the movieis slightly different since it doesn't have a TaJaSpinner. Kamen Rider OOO TaJaDoru combo's Scanning Charge will be calledProminence Drop.

This year'sMovie Wars filmhas exceeded everytokusatsufan's expectations.Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider OOO & W feat Skull: Movie Wars COREdebuted on #1 at the box office this weekend! According to Eiga, Movie Wars CORE defeated four other opening movies namely Tron: Legacy (#4), Shrek Forever After (#5), Saigo no Chuushingura (#6), and Burlesque (#9) for the top spot. Other movies included on the top 10 are Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I (#2, 5th week), Space Battleship Yamato (#3, 3rd week), Norweigan Wood (#7, 2nd week), Bushi no Kakeibo (#8, 4th week) and Robin Hood (#10, 2nd week)
On Kamen Rider OOO's 12th episode called, An Eel, the World, and the Gravity Combo, after OOO fights Uva, Gamel and the Butterfly Yummy, OOO was able to grab three of Gamel's Core Medals, making him lose the armor in his legs giving way on the debut of OOO's heaviest combo, the Kamen Rider OOO SaGoZo Combo!
Because of the attack, Uva lost his Kuwagata Core Medal... again. Also, according to neferir, Shu Watanabe posted on his blog that the name of OOO Sagozo Combo's theme song is "Sun Goes Up", which just like the other Combo theme songs, a pun of the name of the said Combo. This song will be a, "heavy and powerful song just like the Combo."
In the latest scans, we are now revealed about OOO's third full form, the Sagorzo Combo! Sa coming from the Sai Medal (Rhinoceros), Gor coming from the Gorilla Medal and Zo coming from the Zou Medal (Elephant). On the scan above you, you can see OOO Sagorzo Combo fight against Yoroi Musha Kaijin, a monster that OOO will fight in the upcoming Movie Wars Core film.
On the following scan, we saw his abilities, these abilities are:
The ability to control gravity, super strength and the ability to create magnetic fields.
The ability to create earth shattering stomps.
And my personal favorite, the ability to do Rocket Punches (Mazinger Z reference, FTW!).
OOO Sagorzo Combo is said to premiere at the end of the year. Probably around episode 13-15.
To those who remembered, it was announced after Kamen Rider W FOREVER: A to Z - The Gaia Memories of Fate that there will be an upcoming Movie Wars film this December. Now, the title of the film is now confirmed! It will be Kamen Rider X Kamen Rider OOO & W feat. Skull: Movie Taisen Core.
The film is said to premiere this December 18. Aside from that, you can order some merchandise related to the film as early as December, but this is not our main focus for this film. Early rumors circulating about how the film will be like, and here are some of them.
- Phillip uses the Lost Driver to transform into Kamen Rider Cyclone. Akiko transforms into Skull. Terui is on a business trip.
- Sokichi's first request was to stop a bomb in Futo. The story how he obtained the Lost Driver will finally be told. A young Akiko will appear.
- OOO finds an armor medal a sword medal.
- The final enemy is a Dopant who finds a medal. Skull, Double and OOO will cooperate.
- Kamen Rider Baasu appears. He uses an installation henshin system. Baasu's eyes are not circular, but U shaped, (colored black) and he looks very original, something unlike any other hero before. The lower half of his "U" eyes glow red, and he almost resembles Hakaider, complete with a capsuluar head.
- Sonozaki Fumine (Shroud) and Narumi Soukichi are childhood friends.
- Their partner seems to be played by Tarou Yamamoto (or this could be the character's name)
- "San Dopant" is mentioned, as are Bat and Spider.
- The movie will be more serious than comedic, and it seems as though it will bring Akiko to a darker place as well.
Aside from that, we have found some early production photos for the upcoming film!
Seiji Tekaiwa in W HeatJoker suit fighting what seems to be a Dopant or Yummy Pterodactyl. It seems that the videos circulating of a possible OOO Dinosaur Medals are really true. But why is it to be purple?!

Finally, here's the highly awaited opening theme from the 12th Heisei Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider OOO, entitled Anything Goes by Maki Ohguro. The single will be released on November.
Kamen Rider OOO just stated airing this morning and we can now finally see how Eiji Hino transforms and fight as a Kamen Rider, with the help of a floating hand named Ankh.
Kamen Rider OOO's default form, the first one he used is called TaToBa Form, a combination of Taka (hawk), Tora (tiger) and Batta (grasshopper). He then later used TakaKiriBa Form, which in turn a combination of Taka, Kamakiri (mantis), and Batta.
On the top pic are the Greeds, Kamen Rider OOO's main villains. From your left, we have: Gameru, Cazari, Mezuru and Uva and as we all know, there is one Greed is missing in the group, namely Ankh who would later give the OOO Driver to Hino Eiji.
All of the Greeds are currently incomplete because of the medals were sealed in various places. They also have mysterious belts.
They have two kinds of medals. The one with colors is the Core Medal, it's the core of a Greed's existence. Medals that are silver are known as Cell Medals. These make up their bodies. The Core Medals are like their hearts, souls etc. While Cell Medals are basically like cells in a living thing.
Ankh is a Greed with not that many medals, which caused him to become an arm. This is why he took the body of the policeman. Like all the other Greeds, he's collecting medals. To make up for his lack of power, he uses Eiji. What's different about Ankh is that he is sly and sharp sighted unlike the other Greeds.
When they put a Cell Medal inside a human, a monster called Yummy is created. Their source of power is desire. How the Yummies are, depends on the Greed. For example Uva's main desire for Yummies are money, wealth etc.
Since the 12th Heisei Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider OOO, will debut on September 5, we finally got the confirmed and detailed synopsis on Episode 1: "Aah, my tomorrow!".
From Otona Fami: A young man, who has lost his underpants and job, finds a mysterious medal. A monster like arm called Ankh picks the medal up. Furthermore, a different monsters shows up and the hunt for medals starts. Ankh, who is in a huge disadvantage, asks Eiji Hino to transform into Kamen Rider OOO.
The one from Newtype: Eiji Hino, who is working as a part-time in an art museum as a security guard, has been drugged by 2 thieves by putting sleeping pills in his juice. He felt sleepy and decided to go to the security office. He wakes up when something hits his head. He sees that it's a Hawk Medal, he doesn't pay much attention to it since he thinks this is his payment as a part-timer. He changes clothes and takes off his pants only to hang them on the wall.
It is recently confirmed in the latest episode of Kamen Rider W, Episode 47: The Abandoned U/A Request From Philip, that there's a big connection between Foundation X and Kamen Rider OOO's Kogami Foundation.
According to the pic above, it is the Foundation X who created the Medals (Core and Cell Medals in the pic) for Kogami Foundation at a price of $43.25 Billion. This means that Foundation X is the one backing up and funding Kogami Foundation in creating Greeds and Yummies, like how they did with Kamen Rider W's Museum.
According to sources, this might be a hint that Kamen Rider W and OOO stands on the same world and timeline, far from the other Kamen Rider series.
With Kamen Rider W's finale getting nearer, and casts and basic forms for Kamen Rider OOO revealed, all fans are hyped up to see the new Kamen Rider in action! Now, here are some more information regarding the 12th Heisei Rider.
Hino Eiji, 21 years old. A man without devotion or desire, and very little prospects for marriage. He's always wandering around and can't settle for a job. He's a "As long as I have some money, tomorrow and some panties, I am fine" kind of guy. However, when someones life is in danger he's always there to help. He got the OOO Driver from Ankh and with it, he's able to transform into Kamen Rider OOO.
The source ofKamen Rider OOO's power is by throwing in three O Medals into the transformer belt, the OOO Driver. The O Scanner will then have to scan the three medals to access the TaToBa Form: the power of Eagle's is the head, the power of Tiger's are the chest and arms, the power of the Grasshopper's are the legs. When he transforms a tune plays. By throwing in different O Medal combinations OOO can form change.
Kamen Rider OOO Statistics:
Height: 194 cm
Weight: 86 kg
Punch strength: 4.5 ton
Kick strength: 12 ton
Speed: 100 m in 4.5s
Jump length: 190 m
Kamen Rider OOO has a side-weapon called Medajalibur, a silver-colored sword. With the Tiger arms, he's able to use sharp claws called, Tiger Claw, as his weapon. His TaToBa form's special attack is called TaToBa Kick.
Ankh(left), one of the five Greed's who awoke from a long slumber. However, he is missing some medals so he can only transform his arm. He took the body of a dying police officer, Izumi. He's using Eiji to collect medals.
Izumi Hina(right), the sister of the police officer Ankh is possessing. She met Ankh and Eiji while she was working at a restaurant.
Ride Vender a vending machine that can turn into Kamen rider OOO's bike. It came from the Kogami Foundation. When OOO puts a Cell Medal inside the Ride Vender he's able to get various can-like support mechas called Can Droids. When he pulls the pull tab it slowly transforms.
Kogami Foundation is a foundation that is holding many assets. They develop various items such as the Ride Vender, Medajalibur, Cell Medals. They offer it all to OOO, their motives are unknown. The president of Kogami Foundation, Kosei, loves to bake cakes. His secretary, Erika, is always thinking about her diet.
It is rumored that Kogami Foundation has some connection on Kamen Rider W's Foundation X. But this is still not confirmed.
Greeds, from an 800 year slumber, 5 monsters have awoken. However, they were revived with an incomplete body. They are able to create weaker monsters called Yummy. They are created from humans desire. At birth they have a white body. After eating human desire, they start to grow. The picture is the Greed Uua and his Yummy, Kamakiri.
