Cool pics. Toei and the fandom at large really need to move away from the Showa/Heisei Era nomenclature as no one is using it right.

That's kind of just an opinion. Toei officially recognizes certain riders as Showa and certain ones as Hesei. Whether you agree with it or not it's the cannon as presented by the parent company. So why argue against it?

Only because it is an actual thing and I realize that Toei co-opted the term but that doesn't make their usage correct.
"The Shōwa period (昭和時代 Shōwa jidai), or Shōwa era, is the period of Japanese history corresponding to the reign of the Shōwa Emperor, Hirohito, from December 25, 1926, through January 7, 1989" I don't know why it bothers me and I promise this is the last time I will bring it up. |

It's like someone calling 1970's New York the Italian Renaissance. And sorry I took us off topic. Last edited by Dampiel; 06-03-2014 at 08:45 PM.. |

That's a bit of an extreme example. I think something along the lines of calling Animaniacs an 80's cartoon when it's a 90's cartoon would be a less extreme example. Regardless, you're absolutely right and I think Rider needs a new way of grouping Riders than Showa and Heisei (mainly because Heisei will probably be around for at least 30 more years).
