From there, the original "Showa Era" would diverge into a connected but mostly distinct continuity, with each new Rider being unrelated to the previous. This series would be followed up by Kamen Rider V3, which featured a new Rider. The original series featured Takeshi Hongo and later Hayato Ichimonji, victims of the Neo-Nazi terrorist organization Shocker, and used their new cyborg powers and abilities to combat the sinister regime. They also employ gadgets and powerful finishing moves such as the iconic Rider Kick to defeat the legions of unearthly monsters that they fight. These forms would be accessed whenever the Rider said a phrase such as "Henshin," transforming into their superheroic alter ego. The heroes of these shows range from full-on cyborgs to people who don powerful armored costumes - though they all typically share an insect or grasshopper motif in their design. Kamen Rider's title translates as "Masked Rider," although the term Helmet Rider might be more accurate.
