History
Kamen Rider X, Kamen Rider OOO & W Featuring Skull : Movie War Core
His card mysteriously in Tsukasa's possession but sealed, It was used (without Decade's powers) after the battle with Super Shocker by automatically unsealing itself and summoning the A.R Skull to Shotaro. He met the prime reality Shotaro Hidari, Philip and Akiko Narumi after Tsukasa Kadoya (Kamen Rider Decade) handed Shotaro a Kamen Ride card with Skull's image on it. This Sokichi Narumi came through a dimensional wall, praising Shotaro as well as (indirectly) giving him closure before returning to his world.

Skull Crystal is able to attack by releasing energy from his chest in the shape of a large purple skull that can bite opponents. This form is named after the crystal skulls.

- With the use of the Lost Driver and the Skull Memory, Sokichi transforms into Kamen Rider Skull. Skull is unique in that besides wearing a white tethered scarf he also wears a white fedora. It is revealed that he was the original user of the quote "Now, count your crimes!" Sā, omae no tsumi o kazoero!?), a quote now used by his successor. Skull's motif is that of a human skull and the letter S. Like Skull Rider, Skull appears to be a homeage to Skull Man, Shotaro Ishinomori's previous creation, who was adapted for the creation of Kamen Rider 1.
Kamen Rider Skull's primary finisher is the long range shooting attack Skull Punisher, the Maximum Drive ability of his Skull Magnum. In Skull: Message to Double, Skull is shown to have a second Maximum Drive, known only as Finisher Kick, that involves releasing a giant energy skull from his chest, which stuns the opponent and knocks them back before rising into the air.
Skull then puts the Skull Memory into the Maximum Drive Slot, jumps up, and does a roundhouse Rider Kick, which propels the energy skull toward the opponent, whom it bites down on. Kamen Rider Skull also appears as one of the Kamen Riders summoned by Kamen Rider Diend's Complete Form and his Gekijouban Card. In this appearance, his Maximum Drive attack is a generic Rider Kick, similar to Rider 1's famous somersault and kick attack, but with a purple swirling energy around Skull's right foot. In Ganbaride, the name of Skull's generic Rider Kick is Silhouette Kick.

- As with the original, this version of Sokichi Narumi is portrayed by singer-songwriter Koji Kikkawa, whom also portray him briefly in-suit. Surprisingly, he is the first Rider actor ever since Hiroshi Fujioka to portray their character in their Rider Suit.
- It is possible that this Sokichi is from an A.R. World where only Skull exists and not Double or Joker, which may explain the existence of the Skull Rider Card and why this Sokichi does not recognize Shotaro.
- Interesting to note is that this Skull's civilian name wasn't confirmed in the movie.
