Video : Kamen Rider G

Kamen Rider G, not a series, but a special production to promote the Kamen Rider Decade series. It is a tribute to both Showa and Heisei rider series, with elements from both eras combined in it. Kamen Rider G is played by Goro Inagaki, of the popular SMAP boy band.

It is quite a funny show, though.

The obvious are

Showa elements:
- The Rider's design.
- The plot where the protagonist was kidnapped, brainwashed and altered into a cyborg.
- The design of the evil organization's emblem.
- The stunt where the rider on his bike jumps over an explosion, this is a rather standard scene on most opening in Showa series.

Heisei elements:
- Henshin device and concept echos the one from Kabuto.
- The use of elaborated, transformable weapon.
- Finishing Rider Kick similar to Faiz.
- The appearance of all 10 main riders from the Heisei series.

Moral of the story, if you are a terrorist, don't drink during a mission.
