Rider Outsiders** (仮面ライダーアウトサイダーズ, *Kamen Raidā Autosaidāzu*) is a Japanese tokusatsu (Japanese live-action genre heavy on special effects, costumes, stunts) web series produced for the Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club (TTFC) subscription service, in which villainous and otherwise marginal Kamen Riders from across the franchise's history join forces against Zein, a super-intelligence that has concluded that humanity itself must be destroyed to eliminate malice.[1](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/) It is a crossover series linking the worlds of past [Kamen Rider](https://www.edgepedia.org/kamen-rider) television series, and it continues the story of the TTFC-original *Kamen Rider Genms* films.[1](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/)\n\n| Key

Zein is a super-intelligence that learned from human goodwill and set out to eradicate malice; it reached the conclusion that this goal requires destroying humankind itself.[1](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/) The only force that can oppose it, in the story's framing, is a group of Kamen Riders willing to use evil's own power for their purposes, the \"Outsiders\" of the title.[1](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/) The question the official synopsis poses is whether villainous riders, who have never been allies, can truly combine their strength.[1](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/)\n\n**Project Outsiders.** The scheme against Zein is run by Foundation X, a recurring shadow organization in the franchise. Its agents Nico Saiba and Joseph Rando launched Project Outsiders to stop Zein from destroying humanity, using the power of Odin's card deck, recovered by Kamen Rider Diend, to revive Desast.[7](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/ep2/) Foundation X also revived Bronze Drive as a Kamen Rider Outsider to counter Zein.[5](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/ep3/)\n\n**Kamen Rider Zein.** The enemy intelligence itself becomes a rider. In ep.3, Nico Saiba, having rebooted the game Kamen Rider Chronicle, brings the Zein Driver developed by George Karizaki to the BOARD research institute, where director Sakuya Tachibana activates it; \"a certain compatible person\" transforms into Kamen Rider Zein.[5](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/ep3/) That person is Yuto Sakurai, formerly Kamen Rider Zeronos, played by Yuichi Nakamura.[5](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/ep3/) • [8](https://watch.plex.tv/ja/show/kamen-rider-outsiders?context.unit=HE)\n\n### Episodes\n\nThe series ran for eight installments, numbered ep.0 through ep.7, with these titles:[1](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/)\n\n- ep.0 \"The End of Genms and the Beginning of the Plan\" (ゲンムズのおわりと計画のはじまり)[1](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/)\n- ep.1 \"Treasure in the Mirror World and the Return of Ouja\" (鏡の世界のお宝と王蛇の帰還)[1](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/)\n- ep.2 \"Omen of Ruin and Desast's Awakening\" (滅びの予兆とデザストの覚醒)[1](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/)\n- ep.3 \"The Battle Fight Resumes and Zein's Birth\" (バトルファイトの再開とゼインの誕生)[1](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/)\n- ep.4 \"The Mad Flow of Time and Zein's Identity\" (狂った時の運行とゼインの正体)[1](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/)\n- ep.5 \"The Goddess of Creation and the Third Singularity\" (創世の女神と第三のシンギュラリティ)[1](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/)\n- ep.6 \"Love & Peace and the Savior of Dimensions\" (ラブ＆ピースと次元の救世主)[1](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/)\n- ep.7 \"The Outsiders' Final Battle (Desire Royale)\" (アウトサイダーズと最期の戦い)[1](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/)\n\n**Early episodes.** ep.2 introduces Kamen Rider Desast and brings in Ren Akamichi (Kamen Rider Kenzan) from *Kamen Rider Saber* and Horobi (Kamen Rider Horobi) from *Kamen Rider Zero-One*; Zein's forecast marks even Kenzan as a threat in its plan to unify the riders' worlds and root out evil.[7](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/ep2/) ep.3 delivers the series' pivotal reveal, the birth of Kamen Rider Zein through the Zein Driver.[5](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/ep3/)\n\n**Later episodes.** In ep.5, Kamen Rider Zero-Three appears, and Kamen Rider Evol-X arrives as Foundation X's assassin; Kuroto Dan, Gai Amatsu, and Brain begin uniting against the growing threat, while Yuto Sakurai, whose control has been seized by the artificial intelligence Zein, is torn between his own purpose and Zein's.[9](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/ep6/) ep.7 brings the finale: after Ecole's betrayal strips Zein of its power and dimensions themselves come under attack, Ziin, the producer of the Desire Royale from *Kamen Rider Geats*, declares the \"Zein Game\" and transforms into the newly introduced Kamen Rider Ziin Gazer to confront Zein and Evol-X.[6](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/ep7/) The finale's tagline asks whether the world is protected by justice or by evil, and Project Outsiders reaches its conclusion.[6](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/ep7/)\n\n## Cast and production\n\nThe series draws its cast from across the franchise's history. Returning actors include Takashi Hagino as Takeshi Asakura (Kamen Rider Ouja), Kousei Amano as Sakuya Tachibana (Kamen Rider Garren), Tetsuya Iwanaga as Kuroto Dan (Kamen Rider Genm), Shuya Sunagawa as Horobi, Nachi Sakuragi as Gai Amatsu, Noritaka Hamao as George Karizaki, Reina Kurosaki as Nico Saiba, Shota Matsushima as Brain, Kokoro Aoshima as Tsumuri, and Fuku Suzuki as Ziin.[6](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/ep7/) • [9](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/ep6/) Voice roles include Hiroshi Kanao as Ark Orphnoch, Tetsuo Kanao as Kamen Rider Evol-X, Koki Uchiyama as Desast, and Noa Tsurushima and Sho Hayami as Kamen Rider Zero-Three.[6](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/outsiders/ep7/)\n\n**Production.** The series was announced in September 2022 as a new TTFC-original work following the end of *Kamen Rider Genms*.[10](https://mantan-web.jp/article/20220910dog00m200032000c.html) It grew out of two Genms entries, *Kamen Rider Genms -The Presidents-* (streamed April 2021) and *Kamen Rider Genms -Smart Brain and the 1000% Crisis-* (April 2022), which ended with unresolved mysteries that Outsiders picked up.[11](https://lp.tokusatsu-fc.jp/share/content/movie/49222) [Shotaro Ishinomori](https://www.edgepedia.org/shotaro-ishinomori) is credited as original creator, Takayuki Shibasaki directed, and the scripts were by Yuya Takahashi (ep.0, script supervisor on ep.3 and 4, and ep.5 through 7), Yuki Uchida (ep.1 and 2), and Daiki Nagahama (ep.3 and 4).[2](https://shop.toei-video.co.jp/products/bstd21059) Producers were Takahito Omori and Toshinari Tanaka of Toei.[12](https://www.allcinema.net/cinema/pdf/397801)\n\nThe crossover premise also serves as a vehicle for forms never shown in their original series; the character wiki notes appearances such as Kamen Rider Ouja Survive, Kamen Rider Desast, and Kamen Rider Garren King Form, the last of which had a transformation setting in its source material but was never shown on screen there.[13](https://w.atwiki.jp/sentai-kaijin/pages/6592.html)\n\n## Release and home video\n\nStreaming began on TTFC on October 16, 2022, and the final episode was streamed on December 22, 2024, completing the series.[2](https://shop.toei-video.co.jp/products/bstd21059) • [3](https://www.cinematoday.jp/news/N0145873) A complete Blu-ray collection (BSTD-21059) with 156 minutes of content and a preview reel as a video extra was released on December 3, 2025, priced at ¥7,920 including tax.[2](https://shop.toei-video.co.jp/products/bstd21059) Toei Channel has also run a marathon broadcast of the series under its \"TV first\" programming.[4](https://www.toeich.jp/pdf/program/202605) Around the finale, Toei's official YouTube channel ran a special selection of the original television series featuring the Outsiders' riders, starting November 30, 2024.[14](https://www.kamen-rider-official.com/news_articles/2779)\n\n## References\n\n1.
