Just like the previous Kamen Riders before him, Kamen Rider W will also has his own SIC Hero Saga treatment called, Kamen Rider W: Playback which commemorates the 40th Anniversary of the Kamen Rider franchise and surprise! Shotaro Ishinomori stars in this side story! Currently, two chapters of this story was translated.
Chapter 1: The Red Wind
It starts of with an introduction of Shotaro Ishinomori, how he made Cyborg 009 etc., and Shotaro Ishinomori is a character in this Hero Saga. Shotaro Ishinomori is just walking around in Futo. Futo Tower starts blowing a really strong wind, cars are flying and it's like hell on earth, but with wind instead of fire.
A young handsome man appears and says "Shotaro." The young man is called "Philip," Shotaro has no recollection of who this man is, but Philip is saying that the 2 of them are 1 Kamen Rider. Phillip takes out Double Driver and a Memory and tells Shotaro to transform. Shotaro Ishinomori takes the Joker Memory and transforms with the belt.
Chapter 2: The Man who Pointed Fingers
Shotaro, who went along with Philip, felt so surprised after transforming. Spending years in front of a desk wasn't good for his back. Yet, he felt like he was young again. He had so much energy. Although, one thing was bothering him. He wasn't happy with the fact that it wasn't completely green, why was the other half black.
Suddenly, Shotaro could hear Phillip's voice resounding in his head. "We need to get my body with the Revolgarry" he said. Shotaro refused, he insisted that a Rider shouldn't drive a car. "But Shotaro..." Phillip said. "We still have the HardBoilder."
Shotaro started explaining that this felt like the story of Don Quixote. When Philip hears this, he starts to realize that this Shotaro is a different Shotaro. The real Shotaro wouldn't mention something like that. But then a group of Masquerade Dopants appeared.
And since this SIC Hero Saga is still on-going, I better leave these words: to be continued...
