Kamen Rider Stronger
Kamen Rider Stronger (仮面ライダーストロンガー[S], Kamen Raidā Sutorongā, Masked Rider Stronger), also known as Modified Electric Human Stronger (改造電気人間ストロンガー, Kaizō Denki Ningen Sutorongā), may refer to any the following characters.
Fighting skill[]
Since he was a normal person, Shigeru Jo was a football player showcasing his strength and stamina. As Kamen Rider Stronger he then had access to electricity which he had to be careful with around normal people.
Using electricity as a weapon, Shigeru swiftly shoots bolts of electricity to stun his opponents then attacks his opponents while they're stunned. After getting his Charge Up form, Shigeru had to speed up his fighting style to not suffer the drawbacks. While in Charge up form, Shigeru quickly weakens his opponents, then uses his finishing moves to discharge himself.
Forms[]
Additionally, the "form changer" motif makes its first appearance in Stronger. Stronger's "Charge-Up!" mode predates Roborider and Biorider of Kamen Rider Black RX, and the primary themes of the Heisei and Neo-Heisei eras starting with Kamen Rider Kuuga, the main characters' ability is to change forms during battle to adjust varying situations. Kamen Rider Kabuto, where each Rider character can shift between a bulky armored form and a lightly covered, fast form, also features this concept prominently.
Earlier Kamen Riders had "charge up" modes but without a change in appearance. Riders 1, 2 and V3 simply had a charge up sound effect. Riderman mysteriously pops out his helmet and wears it which inexplicably changes him fully. Kamen Rider X had smoke pour out of his body.
While stronger than most of Black Satan's soldiers, he soon found himself outmatched by the Delzer Army's soldiers and couldn't quite as easily defeat them until gaining his Charge Up Form. It seems that by gaining his Charge Up form, Stronger's normal form became even more powerful since his attacks, while unable to outright destroy the Delzer Army's soldiers, managed to at least weaken them.
In World of Stronger, Kamen Rider Decade gave a Final Form Ride to Stronger.
Kamen Rider Stronger
As Stronger, he uses the power of electricity that flows throughout his body. He also presumably has great power as he didn`t suffer too much damage even against an opponent who used heated magma as a weapon.
Techniques:
- Stronger Electro Fire: where his right fist is covered in electricity, before punching the ground letting out an electrical spark through the floor that strikes the enemy.
- Stronger Electro Punch: a Rider Punch covered in electricity.
- Stronger Electro Kick: a Rider Kick enhanced with electricity.
- Super Electro Drill Kick: where he did a drill kick, with his foot covered in electricity.
- Super Electro Ultra Cyclone: where he discharges all the electricity within his body in which it engulfs him an electrical explosion that can easily took out an enemy, but this move will make him completely drained.
In episode 31, a scientist named Yoichiro Masaki operates on Shigeru Jô placing a Super-Electronic Dynamo inside his body. This gives the Rider ability to "Charge Up!". Parts of him would turn silver and the S on his chest would spin. This form is said to be 100 times more powerful than his normal form, but after using his finisher moves, Stronger would temporarily become vulnerable, a weakness that was exploited by his enemies.
Charging up gave Kamen Rider Stronger more powerful combat techniques:
- Super Electro Big Wheel Kick (超電大車輪キック, Chō-den Daisharin Kikku)
- Super Electro Drill Kick
- Super Electro Spinning Throw
- Super Electro Speed Diving Punch
There was a price to pay for this increased power however, Stronger had 1 minute to disperse the extra energy, by using it against his enemy or he would explode.
The Strong Zecter

Resemble the Zecter Kabuto, Kamen Rider Decade's Final Form Ride card allows Stronger to change into Strong Zecter (ストロングゼクター, Sutorongu Zekutā). It This is the only Final Form Ride for Showa Riders.
Equipment[]
Electrer[]
- Main article: Electrer
The Electrer (エレクトラー, Erekutorā) is Stronger's transformation belt which is powered by electricity.
Kabutolaw[]
- Main article: Kabutolaw
The Kabutolaw (カブトロー, Kabutorō) is Stronger's Rider Machine and can perform the Kabutolaw Thunder (カブトローサンダー, Kabutorō Sandā).
Legend Rider Devices[]
KamenRide: Stronger
KamenRide: Stronger (カメンライドストロンガー, Kamenraido Sutorongā) is the Rider Card which contains the power of Kamen Rider Stronger. In All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker, Decade Complete Form Jumbo Formation performed the Final Dimension Kick, a variation of the Dimension Kick, transforming the Shōwa Riders, including Kamen Rider Stronger, and Heisei Riders into Kamen Ride cards for Decade to travel through as opposed to Final Attack Ride cards before hitting the target.
In theory, this card would allow Kamen Rider Decade to transform into Stronger.
KamenRide: Stronger Charge Up
- KamenRide: Stronger Charge Up (カメンライドストロンガーチャージアップ, Kamenraido Sutorongā Chāji Appu) is the Rider Card which contains the power of Kamen Rider Stronger Charge Up, presumably summons Kamen Rider Stronger Charge Up. This card was revealed in the Complete Selection Modification Rider Card Extra set released in 2022.

Kamen Rider Stronger Lockseed (仮面ライダーストロンガーロックシード, Kamen Raidā Sutorongā Rokkushīdo): A Lockseed bearing the likeness of Kamen Rider Stronger, created when Stronger was defeated in the battle between the Showa Riders and Heisei Riders. [Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai] The core image depicts the Electrer while the lid backside image depicts Kamen Rider Stronger's Stronger Den Kick gesture. When inserted into a Sengoku Driver or when channeled through the Showa Rider Lockseed, it would allow an Armored Rider to assume Stronger Arms (ストロンガーアームズ, Sutorongā Āmuzu). It's styled for Zangetsu and Mars/Jam in the toyline.

Stronger Ridewatch (ストロンガーライドウォッチ, Sutorongā Raidowotchi): Based on Kamen Rider Stronger, this Ridewatch would provide access to the StrongerArmor. It is dated 1975.
The Ridewatch was obtained by Hiryu Kakogawa through unknown means and was one of the Ridewatches absorbed by him to turn into Another Ohma Zi-O.
Notes[]
- Stronger was not based on a grasshopper or grasshopper-like insect as with the previous Riders; he is based on the Japanese rhinoceros beetle.
- Stronger was given the name Electric Human Stronger by Black Satan, though he changed it to Kamen Rider Stronger.
- Stronger is the first Rider with a primarily red color scheme.
- Despite Charge Up being used rather prominently in Kamen Rider Stronger, Shigeru has seemingly stopped using it in later series. This is somewhat debatable though, as the Stronger that appeared in Skyrider's series somehow used his Super Electro Drill Kick in regular form
- Aside from form changes, Stronger’s design still influences Kamen Rider in a few instances:
- During his pre-production development, concept sketches of Kuuga show Stronger’s helmet as the possible base template for his helmet, though another image showed Stronger’s helmet crossed out as the design team later chose a stag beetle motif for the Kuuga helmet instead of a rhinoceros beetle.
- Kamen Rider Kabuto has often been seen as a modern take on Stronger’s costume as he is also based on a rhinoceros beetle.
- A production blog post by Kamen Rider Saber’s staff and crew cited that the Reiwa Era’s Rider Final Form design philosophy is influenced by Stronger’s Charge Up form, being upgraded base forms to keep things simple but with a few tweaks rather than the overly complex suits of the Heisei era.
