Shiro goes home to find his parents and sister murdered by Destron before Kamen Rider 1 and 2 save him from the same fate. He asks them to convert him into a cyborg, but they decline, reminding him of the pain of losing their humanity. During a battle against the Destron leader, Shiro thwarts the organization's plot to destroy the Riders - at the expense of his life. The Riders then have no choice but to turn him into a cyborg.
