No, I'm not talking about the SONGS, I'm talking about opening sequence!
The opening sequence are usually to give us an idea to what to expect from the show, who are those characters and establish the tone of the show So out of any Kamen Rider shows, which one have the best opening sequence. |

Decade.
Much like song it is paired with, it's mysterious, it's ominous, but still gives a decent representation of what the season has to offer. |

As well as the shot of the Riders in quarry. Even if Decade is technically the first full Rider series I've watched, it felt........ epic to be seeing that sequence.

Easily Gaim for me. The opening is so beautifully done; it highlights each character’s struggles in such a short time and shows off a good number of suits too.

W, Kuuga, and Hibiki for my Top 3. Special mention to Gaim, particularly for how deceptively bright and cheerful it was.

It took me ages to come up with an answer to this, and when I finally thought one up and came back... you've gone and given it!!
I'm also gonna throw in special mentions to Agito, Ryuki and OOO though; as well as Blade's first OP for how needlessly ridiculous it is

Gaim's the first one that comes to mind, and as people have already said, yeah, it's great. Deacde's too - regardless of the show, it's *very* well made.

I’d probably have to go with Kamen Rider Black RX, for how simple, yet ominous it is.

W and Hibiki are probably my favorites. I love the stylized animation from W's opening and Hibiki's is just stylish as hell. Ryuki is also pretty high on my list.
I want to throw in a special acknowledgment for Black, too. It's mostly a standard Showa "dude on a motorcycle" opening, but the opening bit with the slow walk forward is friggin' iconic. |

I, uh, can't really narrow this question down enough to even just say a couple things. I'll try, but just know I even unironically love Blade's first opening. Ex-Aid is my favorite one in recent memory, because it reminds me the most of Ryuki, which will always be my gold standard for visuals in a Rider opening, with the bonus of conveying maybe a little more information about the show than Ryuki's occasionally cryptic (but gorgeous!) shots do. So in general I prefer the more flashy, less literal openings, but the simpler ones have their own charm. Agito makes three dudes riding on bikes *work*, and the 24/7 version from later in the series has that shot of G3 crashing through a wall displaying footage of G3 that was actually a practical effect, accomplished by projecting the footage onto said wall. So you know, there's always something to say for all of them, is the point.
