==Plot==
Kamen Rider seemingly dies when he and Ganikoumoru crash into each other and explode. Taki and Tachibana return to headquarters, where a funeral wreath arrives from General Black. Taki throws it away just before the bomb inside explodes.
At their own secret headquarters, the Leader orders General Black to finish purging former Shocker personnel by executing a group of captured scientists. Black replies he plans to have them released instead. The driver of the bus supposedly taking the scientists back to the city changes into Sasori Tokagues and sprays the scientists with this oxygen-destroying gas, suffocating them to death, but one escapes because he has a hidden gas mask. Gel-Shocker plans to kill 10 million people in Tokyo by spraying this gas into the air.
Tachibana worries if he's really strong enough to fight against evil with Kamen Rider gone.
The surviving scientist goes to meet up with his wife, but Sasori Tokagues has gotten there ahead of him, and captures her to use as bait in a trap. Meanwhile, a heavily bandaged man jumps the scientist from behind. Someone approaches, and it isn't the escaped scientist but the bandaged man, who unravels his bandages to reveal Takeshi Hongo! He fights the Gel-Shockers warriors so the scientist's wife can escape, but is still weak from his earlier battle and has to ride away without finishing the fight.
General Black calls the Rider Squad and threatens them with Gel-Shocker's gas attack plan, but promises to call it off if Kamen Rider surrenders himself and undergoes brain surgery to become a Gel-Shocker soldier. Instead, Kamen Rider attacks Sasori Tokagues when the cyborg tries to kidnap Tachibana. They fight, but Kamen Rider's losing again, until the escaped scientist says Sasori Tokagues' weakness is his lightly-armored back. Kamen Rider hits him there with a Rider Reverse Kick and makes the evil cyborg explode.
