Reiwa?s anniversary series better be fusion themed.

As 01 & Kuuga are a match, what of Saber?s, Revice?s & Geats??

I think the last series thst felt super fresh to me was Gaim. I love quite a few series after that, like Ex-Aid and Build, but Gaim really defined Rider vs Rider conflict for the modern era and most subsequent shows would take a page out of its book.


As for what I'd like the series to do to freshen itself up... I think it would be cool to do a split viewpoint of two opposing Rider teams. Kinda like Lupin vs Pat? (I haven't seen Lupin vs Pat.) I think there's a lot of untapped potential there. In Faiz I always loved the split viewpoint between the Takumi and Kiba's groups.

Geats feels like that 'shot in the arm' to me. Maybe I'll feel different later but Rider's direction as a whole and dedication to its concept hasn't felt this tight in a long time

Funny enough that's apparently what Geats was meant to be since if I remember correctly there was an interview with Yuya Takahashi a while back where he stated that while Kamen Rider is well known in Japan, it's popularity doesn't seem to be increasing but instead is remaining stagnant. So when developing Geats he took influences from other popular media today such as (and I'm not kidding) Fortnite, Apex, and Squid Game to hopefully shake things up and make things more exciting. Also I believe there was mention that while the Riders do compete against each other, Takahashi wanted to put less emphasis on the Riders literally fighting each other since that's become sort of standard fair in Rider vs Rider shows/shows with a large amount of Riders.

Will the trends of main female riders continue throughout Reiwa and the future? Female riders as heroines & villainesses deserve love!

Marvel: ex. Captain Marvel, Black Widow, Psylocke & Mystique
DC: ex. Wonder Woman, Black Canary & Harley Quinn

Sucks that the Kuuga Manga has a bad translation

They've known since 2000 that the franchise has a large female viewer base (It's not called the Odagiri effect for nothing), as well as being well aware that little girls are also fans of the show and buying toys (Which is why Tackle was created in the first place back in the 70's).
Even if the franchise still has a prominent male audience, ever since Agito established a precedent for multiple riders in a show, they should've taken advantage and had more female riders.
