This is for those people who wonder "Why did Tokutsatsu do this?" to get answers as to why they made that choice.
Here are some of my questions: Kamen Rider Saber 2 Questions One, why is one of the Ahiru Megid's abilities to go invisible? Two, where is the inspiration from the Japanese Tiger Beetle and The Singing Bone in Desast's design? So, what are your questions about the Choices Tokutsatsu has made? |

Apparently tiger beetles are fast and carnivorous predators much like actual tigers who are dangerous starting from their larval stage. As for the The Singing Bone, maybe it is to signify how greedy and ruthless he is, like how the older brother in that story killed his younger brother to claim all the credit for himself.

Also the tiger beetle idea, if you pay attention to Desast's jaw area, he has bug-like pincers on his mask.
It wasn't noticeable to me until I heard about all three inspirations, then I'm like, "Oh his jaw looks peculiar" and then yeah, it looks like pincers around his chin/jaw area. And that's not even mentioning his chest which looks like the back of a beetle who has yet to unfold its wings. |

If there was a Kuuga before Godai that could use all of his forms, how was it that Riku was able to manifest a Bowgun and a european-styled sword when those probably wouldn't have existed or be known back then. And why was it also when Geiz gained the Kuuga ridewatch from Riku's grave, it still said "2000".

My personal theory is that the original Kuuga used a longbow and longsword. It's never stated that the Arcle works the exact same way for each wearer.

That really just comes down to consistency. Considering all the other ridewatches are dated by their debut year, it wouldn't make sense if Kuuga's date was hundreds of years ago while the others were all in the 2000s.

As for the second question; That's just due to the whole "RideWatches steal the Rider's existence in time"-thing. Essentially, despite Riku being Kuuga long before the year 2000. The fact that Kuuga's history(show) happened(aired) in 2000 means the RideWatch is printed with the year 2000. |

The Agito Ride Watch is another anomaly, since it's labeled 2001 even though the show takes place 2 years after Kuuga.
