Kamen Rider OOO WONDERFUL the Movie: The Shogun and the 21 Core Medals
劇場版 仮面ライダーオーズ WONDERFUL 将軍と21のコアメダル
The Kamen Rider OOO summer movie. Released August 6, 2011 in 2D and 3D. Was a double feature with the Gokaiger movie. Apparently this was a collaborative work between Kamen Rider OOO and the show Abarenbou Shogun (暴れん坊将軍). Matsudaira Ken plays the role of shogun in both the show and in this movie.
Summary
Kougami unleashes threat to the world, OOO and friends fix it.
Cast
Gara ガラ - Sakai Miki 酒井 美紀
- One of the four alchemists from 800 years ago who created the Core Medals. Created the Gaja Medal which can hold each of the Core Medals in it. However, this power was sealed away by the king from 800 years ago. Ironically, it was the king's descendant, Kougami, who removes this seal.

Kamen Rider OOO All Stars: The 21 Stars and the Core Medals
Aired from July 8 to August 12. 23 episodes total.
Director's Cut
The director's cut version was released June 21st 2012. It should be noted that this is the first Kamen Rider movie director's cut to be released on Blu-ray. All previous director's cuts have been released on DVD only. The back of the cover claims that there are about seven minutes of new footage.
Notable Differences:
- More scenes of Birth fighting off the soldiers in the beginning.
- Scene of Tokyo's city in Germany. It looks like a bad Photoshop job, which might explain why it was cut.
- Eiji comforting the boy scene is extended.
- Girls with the top-knot hair style.
- Shows the ancient king killing Gara in the past. Gara was working on the Burakawani Medals at the time, maybe that's why that set was never completed.
- Eiji doing a poor job explaining the situation to the villagers.
- Chiyoko handing out ice cream to the villagers scene extended.
- Hina puts a blanket on Ankh as he sleeps.
- Kougami messing with his top-knot in a mirror.
- Eiji's decision extended.
- Eiji and Hina realizing Tokuda's real identity.
- Date and Gotou using CLAWs to blast through the barrier.
- Shun and mom embracing.
- Mezool convincing Gamel to give up his Medals.
- The ending animation is a lot easier to see.
Trivia
- When Eiji is flipping through the channels on the TV, the opening logo for Abarenbou Shogun appears.
- Ankh gives up his personal Medal to Eiji so that he can transform into OOO. The only other time this happens is in the TV series finale.
- Notable quote:
- Eiji: But that's your Medal!
- Ankh: As long as you don't lose it, I can be restored.
- When Shin-san rides in on his horse, a castle can be seen in the background. In this scene he's wearing a robe and brandishing a sword with the Tokugawa Crest, yet Eiji still refers to him as Tokuda-san. Kamen Rider Poseidon's belt sort of looks like the Tokugawa Crest upside down. He also has purple swords. Purple being a color usually just for royalty. Burakawani form, which uses the Tokugawa Medals, also has purple eyes.
- Of the OOO clones, the real one would have to be either the Tatoba or Burakawani forms, since only the original would have those Medals. At the end, the only one left is the Tatoba form, so the Burakawani one was just a clone borrowing the Tokugawa Medals.
- At the end, Shun's mother asks Shun to pick between two presents, in the same way Bell offered a choice. Since Gara is probably male, it's probably okay to conclude that Bell is an offshoot of Shun's mother.
- When Ankh holds Hina's hand, it's with the right Ankh hand. Hina, Ankh, and Eiji all hold hands again in the last episode too.
- The ending animation that runs during the ending song is a puppet theater-looking retelling of the movie's story. The animation is something like Terry Gilliam's work on Monty Python.
