Kamen Rider Meteor can freely use his Meteor Galaxy moves. Jupiter Hammer for a powerful punch, Saturn Sorcery ranged attacks, and Mars Breaker for short range. His finishing move is the Meteor Storm Punisher.

More Kamen Rider Agito Novel Spoilers!

The Kamen Rider Agito novel was released a months ago, but here are some more spoilers about the retelling or should I say, a reimagining of the 2nd Heisei Kamen Rider show.

• The novel has more focus on Mana.
• The Overlord of Darkness and Overlord of Light is not mentioned.
• Akatsuki is a village instead of a ship.
• Shoichi and Hikawa are involved in the Akatsuki incident and Shoichi lost his memories after fighting a mysterious creature.
• The G3 System is created to fight the Lords/Unknown, not the Grongi.
• Taichi does not exist in the novel.
• Just like the series, the novel has some comedy and serious moments.
• The ending is a "the adventure continues" kind of thing. Although the battle with the Lords still continue, the novel ends in a bright note.

Kamen Rider: Seigi no Keifu PS2 Game - Why is This Game Canon?

4chan's /m/ board is sometimes (more like most of the time) is a gold mine when it comes to Kamen Rider or Super Sentai related production stuff. This time around, we have stuff that has something to do with Kamen Rider: Seigi no Keifu, a crossover game for the PS2.

This crossover game features Kamen Riders #1 & #2, V3, BLACK and Agito. The premise of the game is simple, it takes place after the end of Kamen Rider Agito and Shouichi ends up meeting the past Riders who were voiced by the original actors via a plot device known as time travel.


Fans have debated if the game is part of the Kamen Rider mythos. 2ch agrees that the game is canon mainly because most of the original actors consider it canon, Toshiki Inoue considers it canon, and the Agito website listed it within the Agito timeline before the site was taken down.

The game was also one of the external materials that brought up the fact that Agito is based on a golden Chinese dragon. It is also one of the rare times Agito is being referred to as a Kamen Rider.

Special thanks to 4chan's /m/ board for the info and Kamen Rider Wikia for the info about the game.

Kamen Rider Agito & 555 Novel Synopsis Revealed

The synopsis of the upcoming Kamen Rider Agito and Kamen Rider 555 novels was just released! Both novels feature the involvement of series head writer Toshiki Inoue.

The Kamen Rider Agito novel is a retelling of the original TV series with some new material. Written by Toshiki Inoue and Naohiro Okamura, here's the synopsis of this novel.

The Kamen Rider 555 novel takes place 5 years after the end of Kamen Rider 555: Grotesque Flowers, a novel released by Toshiki Inoue in 2004. It's the infamous novel where Kusake ends up raping Mari. Written by Toshiki Inoue and Kenji Konuta, here's the synopsis of this novel.

It's been 5 years and Takumi and Mari haven’t heard or seen from Keitaro, Kusaka, Naoya, or Kiba after the incidents from Grotesque Flowers. All of a sudden, out of nowhere a new shining warrior appears. No one seems to know who this person is. Takumi and Mari, who have both been trying to live peaceful lives, have to once again fight together.

Both Kamen Rider Agito and Kamen Rider 555 novels are set for a January 31 release.

The Kuuga-Agito Connection, A Clarification

Kamen Rider Agito is often seen as an direct sequel to Kamen Rider Kuuga thanks to the basis of the G3 System being Kamen Rider Kuuga. Some sources claim otherwise that Kamen Rider Agito takes place on a parallel universe similar to Kamen Rider Kuuga.

But thanks to Over-Time and Aesir's translator, Magenta and some anon who asked him to translate a text coming from the Kamen Rider Agito production site, we finally have a clarification regarding the Kuuga and Agito connection coming from the show producers.

And I quote:

You're free to enjoy Agito as a continuation of Kuuga if you so wish, or imagine it takes place in a parallel world, if you so choose. I appreciate this may sound like an asspull, however, so I guess I would say that while Agito takes place '2 years after #4 destroys the Unidentified Lifeforms', it is not a sequel to Kuuga, so take to the show with that in mind.

The reason why the producers want us to think Kamen Rider Agito as an independent story, it is because, "Yusuke Godai fought so hard to put smiles on everyone's faces that if another conflict were to break out afterwards, it would diminish the value of everything he fought for."

Thus the Kamen Rider Agito staff want Kamen Rider Kuuga to be a standalone, conclusive story in which at the end, Yusuke Godai protected our smiles. And with that in mind, I salute the Kamen Rider Agito production team.

Special thanks to 4chan's /m/ board for the making this topic... in a Go-Busters thread!
