The series served as an indirect sequel to Kamen Rider Kuuga , which this show is set in the same universe as the previous show, and the first Kamen Rider series to not have an ending sequence. The series aired along with Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger . The series is airing on Toku after being added to the network in November 2020. [1]

Story

Two years have passed since the Unidentified Lifeform case concluded, a series of mysterious and impossible murders are taking place across the city carried out by unknown beings. A man named Shouichi Tsugami has no memory of who he was, where he came from, or how he came upon his peculiar circumstances to transform into a powerful superhuman, Kamen Rider Agito, whenever in the presence of the beings referred to by the police as the "Unknown". Known as the Lords, these powerful monsters perceived themselves as humanity's defenders and kill certain people in a series of murders that force the police department to make Makoto Hikawa the user of the Kamen Rider G3 powersuit which was modeled after Kamen Rider Kuuga. Shouichi and Makoto, both initially hesitant of the other at first, are joined by Ryō Ashihara, who becomes a pre-Agito known as Kamen Rider Gills and seeks the truth behind his father's suicide. These mysteries and many others collide as the true nature of Agito would ultimately determine the fate of humanity.

They were originally aired on October 1, 2001, between Episodes 35 and 36, the special features all three Riders plus the first appearances of G3 Mild and Agito Shining Form. Shouichi encounters psychologist Azuma Kunieda, who had once nursed him back to health, fights an Unknown at night and reaches Burning Form, but goes out of control. Then, Kunieda helps him control it. All three Riders fight against the Beetle Lord. The story ended with a mysterious girl stalking G4 and was to be continued in the movie.
There is a difference between the series' plot and the special's plot: in the latter, Tōru Hōjō eavesdrops on Shōichi and Kunieda's conversation behind a window and finds out Shōichi is Agito; in the series, however, Hōjō ambushes Agito as he flees from a battle scene, sees as he reverts back to Shōichi and arrests him.

Released in theatres on 22 September 2001, Project G4 was a double bill with Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger the Movie: The Fire Mountain Roars. Shouichi encounters a teenage girl called Sayaka Kahara, who ran away from a military facility because of an attack by the Ant Lords. Sayaka has a supernatural ability to foresee the future. Risa Fukami, of the military group GA, wants to use that power to enhance the newly made G4 System, which was based on designs stolen from Ozawa. Now, Agito and Gills must fight to stop the Ant Lords' attack, as G3 and G4 settle their score. The events of the movie happen in the late 30s–early 40s after the special.
The film grossed over ¥1 billion at the Japanese box office. [2]

Three Great Riders is the Hyper Battle Video for Agito. The events of the video show Teleppi (てれっピ, Tereppi), the Televi-Kun mascot, calling upon Kamen Riders Agito, G3, and Gills to help fight several Unknowns that have invaded his world. Still, he will only trust the "Ultimate Rider". The video featured exclusive finishing moves for the three Riders. G3's special weapon that appears in the video, the Antares, was later featured in the television series.

Hero Saga Vol. 2 book, the elements of 555 were removed from the story and the Dog Orphnoch was changed to the Dog Load (ドッグロード, Doggu Rōdo).
