Masked Rider Warrior Leader nod-talks and looks about.

Cuts before he raises a fist; cuts follow-up of Leader 2 responding.

Let's just drop the pretenses of the screwed up dub and call them by their actual names, eh? (headcanon, it's an old Edenoite hazing ritual to lie about your name when introducing yourself to a person as part of a group. There. They were just funnin' their new pal Dex.) Masked Rider V3, Riderman, Masked Rider X, Masked Rider Amazon, Masked Rider Stronger, Skyrider, Masked Rider Super-1, and Masked Rider Z-Cross all nod or raise a fist or whatever in affirmative response. They then all put their hands in together over the map and as the shot zooms in on their unified huddle of appendages, can I get a "whoa, Masked Rider Warriors"?

Transitions out.

Transitions in; fades out.

Zoom in on a photo of a small planetoid next to Jupiter.

Fades in. Probably a US shot someone took with a camera and a NASA photo, but I searched for it as footage anyway and came up with nada.

Zoom in as Masked Rider faces Bruticon.

Recycled; plays in reverse.

Masked Rider speaks and poses, as do the Masked Rider Warriors, before they all leap forth into battle. They batter Bruticon with punches until all have their fist on the monster, who proceeds to suddenly glow with energy flames over his whole body, sending all eleven of them falling and rolling away from Bruticon. Masked Rider poses, and his fellow Masked Riders scramble about, as Bruticon reverts to flaming meteorite form, rising up above them.

Check out the two Japanese actors in shot 1!; shot 3 has a sign saying "Donald" matted out in left corner, but later shows up in another shot, so whatever.

Flaming meteorite streaks down and sparkily strikes the Masked Riders, then turns around and passes by them again, sparkily hitting each one, before turning back around. Masked Rider then leaps up and gets nailed right in the chest sparkily by it, sending him flying down. Several Masked Rider Warriors gather around him concernedly, and he talks to them as a he recovers, then he goes over and gestures his arms down.

Most of the shots in this sequence are excessively darkened from source. I dunno why. A few are cropped to ignore the Japanese text on the sign, a few have the wire on the meteorite erased.

Masked Rider transforms into Super Gold mode.

Recycled, per source.

Super Gold stands there, the flaming meteorite shoots his way, so he punches it and sends it packing in the opposite direction. When it comes around again, he pulls out his Ecto Ray and fires on it, but it's not stopped, slamming into his chest and setting up a massive fireball explosion in a void, and behind him, tossing Super Gold in the air, reverting to regular Dex by the time he lands roughly.

Shot 8's explosion in the void is a very frequently used bit of stock footage, appearing in all the Metal Hero shows used for VRT, for instance.

The flaming meteorite flies by.

Wire erased.

Bruticon swallows a tiny Super Blue through the water stream, where he ends up inside the monster's stomach. Said stomach is actually a sophisticated computer center with loads of technology, inexplicably. Super Blue looks around, then whips out his Blue Saber and begins to sparkily slash at the computers around him. Bruticon grasps his gut in agony.

Glow effect added to shot 1; cuts final shot before he agonizes some more.

Zoom in on Bruticon, writhing in pain. Super Blue keeps slashing away sparkily at his innards, causing him even more agony. Super Blue glows briefly, as he continues to slash the sparks outta the stomach room, causing it to burst even more when he's suddenly not there. Bruticon bursts, then explodes massively.
