New CGI Kamen Rider V3 Promo Video

A new promo video for Kamen Rider V3 has surfaced online. The new promo features the titular Rider, V3 as well as the Double Riders, Rider 1 and 2 and Riderman with a new weapon Arm!

The bigger question for those who can't understand Japanese, what is this promo video promoting? But for now, just be amazed with the promo's CGI animation for the Kamen Riders.


But for fans who managed to take note the English words seen in the video, the opening of the video features the line, "Kyoraku Presents" doing a quick Google search will lead you to discover that Kyoraku is a manufacturer of pachinko machines. Oh well, guess this promo is for a new Kamen Rider pachinko machine game then, which will be available starting on September 12.

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.
