Kamen Rider Accel Returns: more info

KAMEN RIDER ACCEL RETURNS
As the release of the direct-to-video special, Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Accel draws near, here's the confirmed movie plot. We also have a glimpse of the Masked Soldiers and the Commander Dopant.


In Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Accel, Ryu Terui saved a girl named Aoi Kuzuki (played by Yukari Tani) from an attack caused by the Masked Soldiers. Suddenly, the Commander Dopant shows up to take something from Aoi, but she doesn't have that thing anymore. Commander Dopant places a time bomb on Aoi and frames Terui.

Masked Soldiers
The police are now after both of them and they'll have to flee together. Akiko later finds out that Terui is fleeing with another woman. Terui fell for a trap and he has now lost the Accel Memory. He'll now have to have to use his fists and his gun to fight. Will he be able to shake this pinch off?


Akiko, suddenly pissed on what's happening, thinks there something between Aoi Kuzuki (far left) and Terui. She shows up with official divorce registration papers (2nd left).

Kamen Rider W RETURNS: Kamen Rider Accel will be released on April 8.

Saraba, 2010.

As 2010 finally ends this year, It finally all comes to a close. now it's time to lookback at stuff that happened in both the World of Disney Channel and the World of Tokusatsu.

1. A year of Cool, epic new shows



That 2010, We were treated to cool shows like Tensou Sentai GoSeiger, Good Luck Charlie, JONAS LA, Shake It Up and Kamen Rider OOO. Shake It Up brought back the Lizzie McGuire formula of everyday tween problems and situations while mixing elements from Hannah Montana and Sonny With a Chance, while Kamen Rider OOO brings forth the rider with the most forms via medals. Good Luck Charlie reintroduces the formula of a normal family first found in Even Stevens (in fact, it's been 10 years since Stevens) while Tensou Sentai GoSeiger, brings back powered protectors (last seen in Boukenger), no "all mechas combined" formation (since Gekiranger), and a no identity 6th Ranger since Hurricanger.


2. The movies that excite us




2010 is another reason for movies and such. Toku movies like Super Hero Time: The Movie 2010 (Kamen Rider W FOREVER A-Z: The Gaia Memories of Fate and Tensou Sentai GoSeiger: Epic on the Movie), Ultraman Zero The Movie, The Cho Den-O Trilogy movies, and Kamen Rider Movie Wars Core exicted toku fans, while Disney Channel Original Movies like 16 Wishes, Avalon High (pictured above), StarStruck, Den Brother and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam were the servings of that year for tween viewers. Disney Stars got in the act too in the big screen, with  Zac Efron's Charlie St. Cloud and Selena Gomez's Ramona and Beezus leading the pack.

3. The lucky number 18




2010 was also the year 3 Disney Girls finally turned legit in the eyes of most of their boy fans. Starting with Selena Gomez (July 22), then Demi Lovato (August 22), and finally Miley Cyrus (November 23), these 3 finally bloomed. The only guy that was the same age of them this year, who also turned legit too, was Nick Jonas.

4. The time their shows say goodbye




In the episode shooting part of their shows, Both The Suite Life on Deck and Hannah Montana Forever ends their filming of episodes on their last day of shooting their last episodes. Kamen Rider W, on the other hand, while their filming of the show was already over, finally bids farewell that August 2010. however, their adventure is not over yet, as evidenced in Movie Wars Core.

5. The crumbling of Miley and Demi's World




The year that they became 18 was also the year things didn't go well for them. Miley had much a problem from dressing provocatively to her parents finally divorcing. Demi on the other hand, lost her boyfriend (Joe Jonas) to Ashley Greene, her friend died (not Selena, fortunately), and because her bad past caught up with her, ended up punching her backup dancer and threatening Ashley, all leading to her going to rehab to heal herself. but it got worse when her haters banded together and started brining up false rumors to bring her down.

As we finally say farewell in a few hours (some countries may have been already finished celebrating New Year's Day), it's time to let go of the bad memories of that year and bring with us the happiest ones for this year. in 2011, We have lots to look forward too, like the upcoming Kaizoku Sentai Goukaiger, the Sentai version of Kamen Rider Decade, Demi Lovato's comeback, and Hannah Montana's final episode.

so 2010... We'll miss you.

"Now, count up your crimes!"

Movie Wars CORE starts @ no.1 spot

Kamen Rider Skull Wallpaper
This year's Movie Wars film has exceeded every tokusatsu fan's expectations. Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider OOO & W feat Skull: Movie Wars CORE debuted on #1 at the box office this weekend!

According to EigaMovie 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)

As far as my info goes, Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider OOO & W feat Skull: Movie Wars CORE is the third Heisei Kamen Rider movie to grab the top spot on its opening weekend. I'm still researching on the first two movies. They are Kamen Rider Den-O & Kiva: Climax Deka and Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders vs Dai-Shocker.

Kamen Rider W will return?

Kamen Rider W fan-art
Good story, ending good have not stopped this duo. Ready or not, our two-in-one Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider W, will be back to give us more hard-boiled adventures. Well, sort-off...

It is currently rumored that Kamen Rider W will be back on a two-part V-Cinema, a direct-to-DVD movie special. First part will feature Kamen Rider Accel who faces a crisis and fought a Dopant using his new form. And the second part will be a story about Daido Katsumi (Kamen Rider Eternal) and how he formed NEVER.

As of now, nothing is confirmed. But according to DecaEnd, there are high chances that the Kamen Rider W V-Cinema will be true since he got the rumor from the same guy who posted rumors about Maki Kiyoto in Kamen Rider OOO and OOO SaGoZo's ability which were later confirmed.

Note: Please do take this as a grain of salt.

Thanks to JEFusion for the news.

OOO and W Movie Taisen title comfirmed


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?!

KR OOO's episode 1 synopsis


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.

Relation of X and Kogami Foundations

Connection Between Foundation X and Kogami Foundation
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.

KR Joker = KR BLACK?!

Note: Before reading this article, may I suggest you play Back in Black by AC/DC... or you can just ignore this message.

Kamen Rider W has a lot of homages from past Kamen Rider shows, heck I even compiled some of those homages back then! With the upcoming Kamen Rider W film, I finally notice the Kamen Rider BLACK homage in W's design thanks to Kamen Rider Joker. Here's a checklist of W's BLACK homage.

+ Shoulder pads. Check.
+ Arm and leg bands. Check.
+ A robust top armor. Check.
+ Trunks. Check.
+ No scarf. Check.
+ Plus according to latest movie info, KR Joker's Maximum Drive involves executing a Rider Punch and a Rider Kick... Check.

And for the man behind the mask.
+ Their names end in a -taro. Check.
+ Their friend in which they treat like a brother was kidnapped but some organization, brainwashed and he must face him for him to save the world. Still pending.

Now, guys what do you think?

So then that makes Selena Gomez... Philippe? XD
