So, Does this have to do with the whole game area and merging of the two series parts of Chou Taisen? Maybe Ranger Keys and Rider Cards join together to create these heroes?

Also, the fact that we're getting these now is a bit weird. Why did they wait till AFTER Super Hero Year for this? Intact, the only sentai thing for Super Hero Year was Heart Pounding Circus, and that was going to happen anyway, so why not bring these in then?

Also, the scan at the top shows Kamen Rider Amazon Alpha Vs Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Level X, which either means that Amazons is canon, or more paradoxes!!!

Why is Kenzaki on this team? He never died. He POINTEDLY never died...he literally CAN'T die...didn't they kill Faiz in one of these things?Wouldn't he make more sense?

In the novel he keeps trying to kill himself but fails, it ends with him stepping on a mine and getting killed

That novel was actually canon? Didn't Kenzaki show up in Decade though?

Hey, is there a source for the returning characters being the Go-Riders or is the news post just assuming too? Checking back at those magazine scans it does say something like "see which heroes transform into them in theaters!", so I guess it's totally likely they are, but you probably shouldn't treat it as a guarantee right on the front page.

I don't know, I also just can't imagine friggin' Kaito Kumon doing Sentai poses, so maybe I'm just in denial. :lol



Is it like, some kind of super awesome special mine? Because that sounds really stupid. That sounds like exactly the kind of thing that makes me dislike the idea of any sort of epilogue to Blade.



Can we please stop pretending Kamen Rider has any sort of canon? Trying to cobble any individual work together with anything but itself is a doomed effort. Everything is in continuity with itself and whatever else the plot requires. That's as deep as it ever gets. It makes Power Rangers' attempts at canon look flawless.

Like, you gotta understand, the motivation behind bringing characters back is, AT BEST, 33% "we really wanted to further their story!", 33% "people remember them", and 33% "the actor was available/interested". It's done more for meta reasons of fan service than anything else. Reading too deeply into it will only bring madness.

He's literally called an Undead. He can't die. It's the ENTIRE point. Not to mention him dying/being sealed = the end of the actual world. God DMAN I hate those stupid effing novels.

And he dies from a bloody mine? Weak undead can't be harmed by conventional weapons and the strongest one is killed by a mine???

So novel Kenzaki is both weak as balls and brought about the end of life as we know it. With literally nothing in existence that can stop it. Because Hajime wins the Battle Royale and everything is going to die so the game starts again. Funsies.

I assume as far as the shows are concerned the canon of those novels is no different from star trek novels (I know the OOO had stuff that was complete 180 from what could have happened) cause if they reference something that stupid...I already have almost no hope for crossovers. Jesus.

Also, hang on. Isn't there a blade special in the works? Wasn't that leaked last year?

In my book Decade is the non-canon one. I really do mean that. The whole point of his final story is that Decade has no story meaning everything seen in the show is meaningless.

As I thought Tsubaki's injuries from his unfortunate assault would have kept him out of the spotlight for longer.
Although his face does appear to look fine in this (though that could be make up)
Or this was filmed before the assault
