The thing you have to realize is that canceling something as major as the Olympics is not as simple as waving a magic wand. For one, It's not up to Japan, it's up to the IOC to make that decision and It'd be a huge loss to cancel it, as a lot of investors and sponsors would not be happy as they sunk a lot of funds to make it happen. Even though the people say it should be cancelled, the people organizing it have no choice but to go through with it.
Just be happy it's not 5-6 weeks like it was last year and is only 3. Last edited by IndigoArms; 06-24-2021 at 01:28 PM.. |

Dammit, I thought Toei learned to stop doing this stupid "Spring Vacation Gattai Special" nonsense!
They should have just done a cameo crossover like Zyuohger/Ghost and Kyuranger/EX-Aid as a B plot the the episodes' A plots. I didn't want to have to wait a whole fortnight to see Deadheat Burst Mach and I don't want to have to wait 5 weeks to see whatever awesome thing is going to happen in Saber Episode 44. They don't need to take over the SHT block for a whole hour to promote their movie and doing it before an Olympics hiatus is the worst timing! At least last year, we got the Kiramager Episode 1 and 2 Director's Cut as a consolation and that 5 week hiatus wasn't even something they could control. Now Toei are deliberately making the fans wait longer than we have to and that really ticks me off. In the words of Geartlinger's VA, "What an utter disappointment."

Not only that. Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger would lose 5 weeks (3 for the 2020 (2021) Tokyo Olympic Games Special Coverage-only if it will continue and not cancelling it, 1 for the "New Normal" marathon on the 1st week of November this year and another 1 for the 2021 year-end special on the 1st week of January 2022) and it would probably ended up in a cliffhanger, Kamen Rider Saber would probably have 46 Episodes and could probably also ended up in a cliffhanger or an unfinished story and the upcoming Kamen Rider Rider Revice would have its hiatus for the marathon on the 1st week of November and for the 2021 year-end special on the first week of January 2022. Toei and TV Asahi will never be the same again when it comes to schedule problems! The anniversaries are already ruined, unlike 10 years ago! Curse you, COVID-19 Pandemic!

Well, no; Decade was a shorter season intentionally -- Bandai didn't want to have the Rider and Sentai toylines debuting at the same time and competing with each other (as had been the case since Kuuga), so they had Decade be shorter season specifically so W and onwards could debut in the third quarter rather than sharing the first quarter debut with Sentai. Sentai Strongest Battle was a similar case, I believe.
And that really goes to show what decides these things -- toyline debuts. As the olympics is a thing completely out of their control like Covid last year, it's just gonna be the case that they'll have less episodes rather than shifting Revice's (and Sentai 46's) toyline debut a month later for no reason. |

The bright side is that the creators knew that there would be an interruption for The Olympics, unlike Covid, so they've likely planned their stories around an Olympic hiatus. |

That's a bummer. No Zenkaiger for a month is gonna sting.

At least it was timed with Saber, since we're pretty much entering the endgame with the recent episode.
