OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders (オーズ・電王・オールライダー レッツゴー仮面ライダー, Ōzu Den'ō Ōru Raidā Rettsu Gō Kamen Raidā)[1] is a superhero film that was released on April 1, 2011, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Kamen Rider franchise. While the film features all of the franchise's protagonists, the main heroes of the original Kamen Rider TV series (1 and 2), Kamen Rider Den-O, and Kamen Rider OOO serve as the main characters. The film's subtitle "Let's Go Kamen Riders" is an homage to the theme song of the original series, "Let's Go!! Rider Kick" (レッツゴー!!ライダーキック, Rettsu Gō!! Raidā Kikku). The film also marks the 60th anniversary of the Toei Company,[2] and features cameos from Kikaider, Kikaider 01, Inazuman, and Zubat from four of Shotaro Ishinomori's other works.[3]

A preview of the film was originally scheduled for March 15, 2011, but was cancelled after the venue's structure was compromised as a result of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[4]

Let's Go Kamen Riders opened at the #1 spot in the Japanese box offices in the first two weekends of its release.

Plot

Eiji Hino battles three Mole Imagin until the monsters use a nearby boy, Naoki, to travel through time. Kotaro Nogami and Teddy arrive in the DenLiner and determine the Mole Imagin traveled to November 11, 1971. Hino's ally Ankh convinces him to join Nogami and board the DenLiner, where they are warned by the train's owner to stay aboard to avoid disrupting time.

Arriving in 1971, Nogami eliminates the Mole Imagin while Ankh attempts to steal his fellow Greeed's Core Medals. Hino goes after him, but Nogami and the DenLiner's Imagin crew discover and retrieve the pair. Unbeknownst to them, Ankh dropped a Cell Medal, which a Shocker Combatman finds and presents to General Black.

After being returned to the present, Ankh and Hino pursue Naoki and his friends Mitsuru and Shigeru after the boys pickpocket them, but run into Shocker-aligned police officers. After Ankh and Hino escape and encounter the kids again, the former conducts research into Shocker, learning that they managed to take over Japan and merged themselves with other Kamen Riders' enemies to take over the world and render humanity nearly extinct. The Shocker Police find them again, forcing the group to flee while Hino stays behind to fight them, but he is defeated by Shocker's elite soldiers, Kamen Riders 1 and 2. After the group is rescued by the DenLiner crew, they learn that Shocker found a Core Medal in 1971 and combined it with the Cell Medal that Ankh dropped to create the Shocker Greeed, who defeated 1 and 2 and allowed Shocker to brainwash them. Hino offers to help, but Nogami drops him off in a different location, where he meets the Hina Izumi of the altered present. The DenLiner crew learn too late that Mitsuru, Naoki, and Ankh are still with them.

Returning to the past, Nogami recovers the Cell Medal, but Ankh drops another one, which is found by a Kamen Rider Scout named Nokko, who mistakes the DenLiner crew for Shocker agents. She reconvenes with her fellow Scouts, but Black takes the Cell Medal from them. Nogami and Momotaros battle Black's forces while Mitsuru and Naoki escape with the Scouts. 1 and 2 cover them and give Black a fake Cell Medal with a transmitter to locate Shocker's headquarters while Nogami destroys the original Cell Medal.

Arriving at Shocker's headquarters, the Riders realize they fell into a trap and Nogami took the fake Medal before Black creates the Shocker Greeed to attack them. Outside, Shocker forces attack the DenLiner, forcing the train's owner to order a retreat. The Riders get Naoki and Teddy onboard, but they jump off before it travels through time. The DenLiner crew return to the altered present and rejoin Hino, but he and Nogami are captured while the others escape. Arriving at the kids' spare hideout, Ankh, Momotaros, Izumi, and the kids find Teddy's body and a time capsule containing a letter from Naoki. He reveals Teddy sacrificed himself to get him, 1, and 2 to safety. Shocker forces attack again, though Momotaros and Ankh get captured while covering Izumi and the kids' escape.

The next day, Shocker prepares to publicly execute their captives, but Shigeru returns Hino's Rider equipment before 1 and 2 appear, revealing a turncoat Shocker scientist undid their brainwashing. The audience revolts as the captives are freed. 1, 2, Nogami, and Hino are joined by the rest of their Rider allies, Kikaider, Kikaider 01, Inazuman and Zubat, who help them destroy Black, the Shocker Greeed, and their forces. Shocker's Great Leader overpowers the Riders until Hino receives new Rider powers, which he uses to weaken the Great Leader. Enraged, the Great Leader transforms into Rock Great Leader, but more Riders join the fight and destroy him. Following this, the scientist reveals himself as an older Naoki, who lived in the past, married Nokko, and became Mitsuru's father. Hino bids Nogami farewell before the DenLiner embarks on its next destination.[2][5][6]
