Mr. Osomatsu Transforms into Kamen Riders in Joint Movie Promotion
posted on by Victor Chaves
Mr. Osomatsu and Kamen Rider came together for the ultimate Tokusatsu Alliance! To celebrate the recent release of the Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER film and the March 15, 2019 release of Osomatsu-san the Movie, the characters appeared in a six-poster series to advertise the two movies.
The posters are references to the Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER 20-poster series featuring one of the 20 Kamen Riders in the movie. After the Kamen Rider movie came out, the new six-poster set of cross-over posters were released to jointly promote the movies.
Each Mr. Osomatsu character is wearing the belt and helmet of their Kamen Rider counterpart. Specifically the combos are: Kamen Rider Den-O and Osomatsu, Kamen Rider Build and Karamatsu, Kamen Rider W and Choromatsu, Kamen Rider Joe and Ichimatsu, Kamen Rider Cougar and Jyushimatsu, and finally Kamen Rider Decade and Todomatsu.
Kamen Rider and Mr. Osomatsu collaborating is a great choice as the two have a storied history, where Kamen Rider has had multiple instances of different “Riders”, Mr. Osomatsu has had older versions of itself (“Osomatsu-kun”) and in that way each transcend generations of fans through multiple decades.
The Matsuno sextuplets previously transformed into Ultraman tokusatsu heroes last year and received a Tezuka makeover in April.
Kamen Rider Heisei Generations FOREVER was released on December 22 and Osomatsu-san the Movie opens in theaters on March 15, 2019.
