Something I just thought of, after reading the wiki page for "Isekai" (I'm not much of an anime fan, boo me if you want) is that you could probably get a good Rider series out of a reverse-Isekai. Have our main Rider pulled forwards in time at the moment of his victory against some evil foe, to the modern day, where it's making a resurgence, or maybe some new foe is striking again, or maybe someone wants to revive the past. Have his prerequisite group of friends be the only people who believe he's really the hero of legend (who the world thinks died fighting years ago, only, ya know, to come back in their hour of need). Have the secondary be someone who inherited his power - a descendent, maybe, which pens up tonne of rider-level angst about him leaving everyone he knew in the past, or maybe the hope he'll oen day be able to return. Antagonist Rider who shows up in Quarter 2? Uses a modern upgrade of whatever gives our hero his power, obviously proclaiming it to be better despite how lame Bandai makes the toy compared to the main belt.
What's the main theme, you may ask? Tradition vs Modernity. What traditions should we keep, what needs to go for society to move on, do we even need traditions anymore, how much should we look to the past for guidance, versus what should we strive to move onto. Can our "naive" main Rider survive in a modern world, painted in shades of grey? (Of course they can). Can their totally-not-Kotaro-Nogami descendent secondary Rider learn that their past can help them, and isn't to be ashamed of?
All I need is for Bandai to ask me to right in 20 different merch plugs and I've basically got a series plan for them.
That does sound really cool! Almost like if Chaser or Ankh or one of the other characters who were there at the start of their season's conflict was the main Rider instead of a supporting character. There's an idea I've been toying with for a while, I call it Kamen Rider Stone, that's kinda like that with the main Rider being a warrior from an ancient civilization.
You could also use a similar idea for a 'normal' isekai, with a Rider from the present getting sent to a future where their enemy is either rising again or has already conquered the world, kinda like Samurai Jack. I know Zi-O did some episodes where they went to bad futures, but that's a concept you could hang a whole series on.
