## Biography

After a doctor named Daidoji invented an artificial gravity apparatus, called G.X., that can change the earth’s axis, Doctor Shinigami appears to him and his assistant, Ano, telling them that Shocker has been waiting for the research results to be completed for them to use to sink Japan into the sea.

Dr. Daijdoji and Ano try to run away with the research results, only for Ano to find the door locked. Suddenly, foam starts seeping out from underneath the door and Ano sinks down into the pile of foam along with the research results. With the results in Shocker’s hands now, Doctor Shinigami leaves and the laboratory explodes. Fortunately, Doctor Shinigami finds out that the research results are missing the GX equation needed to complete the apparatus.

By using resurrected Kaijin, Shocker finds out that the GX equation is with Dr. Daidoji’s daughter, Tamami, so the resurrected Arigabari and Dokugander head to his house and kidnap Tamami during her birthday party with her friends. Hongo arrives and transforms into Kamen Rider Ichigo to fight the two Shocker Kaijin where he manages to destroy Arigabari. As he fights Dokugander, Hongo suddenly finds Tamami sinking down into a large pile of foam. Kamen Rider Ichigo manages to pull her out and Shocker’s latest Kaijin, Zanjioh, rises out of the foam and joins with Dokugander to face against Hongo.

Takeshi arrives as Kamen Rider Nigo and joins Hongo in fighting the two Shocker Kaijin. The two riders manage to beat down Dokugander but Zanjioh makes his escape with Tamami through the large pile of foam.

Later, Doctor Shinigami arranges a trade where they will give Tamami back in exchange for Dr. Daidoji. After Takeshi performs the trade, Doctor Shinigami reveals the trade to be a trap with an army of resurrected Shocker Kaijin. However, Takeshi reveals that Dr. Daidoji is really Hongo in disguise and the two riders fight off the Shocker Combatmen and the Kaijin to save Tamami. Once they reunite Tamami with her father, Dr. Daidoji reveals that he hid the GX equation inside the teddy bear he gave to Tamami for her birthday.

Back at Daidoji’s house, Zanjioh seeps inside as foam and finds the teddy bear. Fortunately, Kamen Rider Ichigo takes the doll away from him and he throws it to Kamen Rider Nigo, who is standing on the roof. They tell Zanjioh they figured out that he was following them to find the whereabouts for the GX equation as he wasn’t with the other Shocker Kaijin when they were fighting them.

Zanjioh summons the Shocker Combatmen for the two riders to fight against. During the fight, Nigo tosses the bear doll to Ichigo, only for Zanjioh to catch it himself. The two riders chase after the Shocker Kaijin where he fends them off with his fire breath. Ichigo and Nigo manage to get the bear out of Zanjioh’s hands and the two double-team against the Shocker Kaijin. The two then perform Rider Double Kick to finish him off and he falls down a cliff, blowing up upon impact to the ground.
