My favorite thing about Kamen Rider ? as a superhero franchise ? is its finality. Stories get to

A villain?s defeated, a lesson is learned, and a hero triumphs. That?s the in-universe reward, for the most part: the hero can
stop fighting
. As much as it can hurt to watch Philip and Gentarou and Shinnosuke walk away? they
get
to walk away. Their story has concluded, and we?re encouraged to feel good about that.
I'm fine with it, because their story
still
ended. With the exception of things like V-Cinemas and TTFC stuff (latter which is optional side content), they only show up to help up the new hero. And these riders are allowed to grow. Watching OOO as a kid and then seeing the V-Cinema, it was a very special feeling.
It's unlike Marvel or DC where it has the relentless need to keep the status quo, thus erasing character history, developments, or making things just convoluted in the long run.
It's one thing to keep showing you what the other riders are up to in another rider's show every year or, say, Kamen Rider Revice ends with
"Revice will return in Kamen Rider Shinobi"
or something like that, and it's another to have the suit and maybe a few guest actors to show up in some team up movie or TTFC special. That's the difference, I feel.
