Starting after the events of the original series, Shiro Kazami witnesses a murder by Destron, a new organization created from Gel-Shocker by its previously thought deceased leader.
Destron is the only Showa villainous organization in the franchise to appear in the movie OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders although several of its monsters make appearances; this is most likely due to the organization being formed from Shocker remnants, therefore making its construction unnecessary.
A physicist named Tetsuo Okita discovers a new mineral called "satanum",[14] which is more powerful than uranium and emits destructive effects to anyone exposed to it.
However, Destron abducts Okita in hopes of finding the source of satanum and collecting more of it to expedite their run for global domination.
Kamen Rider V3 must act fast in rescuing Professor Okita and preventing Destron from collecting more of the deadly mineral.
