I wonder in Ghost, will Takeru pass his powers to someone else in the final episode? Then later, the new user becomes the new Ghost when using the Ore Soul (which is Takeru's guiding him).

Like in The Crow when Eric Draven finally avenges his beloved Shelly's death and his.

Well, ostensibly. The fact that no one in Drive makes any reference to that time plant aliens tried to conquer the world kinda throws some doubt on that idea. So I'm pretty sure Kamen Rider shows are mostly in a quantum state of not being and being in continuity with each other at the same time.

They're only canon when observed being canon, basically...

edit: also this whole discussion is kind of ignoring that Ghost is already confirmed to be in Drive's universe by virtue of the crossover.

Well in OOO, we had half of a city destroyed and yet no one talked about it in Fourze despite being in the same world as each other. I guess the writers don't care too much about continuity in Kamen Rider to avoid confusion for casual TV watchers that didn't see the last few seasons.

Yeah. We can also reasonably assume no one in Ghost will talk about the Global Freezes or anything.

Again, quantum canonicity.

"Hey Takeru, remember that time when machines tried to take over the world? Or the time when plants tried the same thing?"

"I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about."

Although I guess if it all does take place in the same universe, the civilians are probably desensitized to it at this point. Hell half of Tokyo was destroyed in Kabuto anyway.

"Huh. A world ending threat taking place in Japan. Must be a tuesday."

Occasionally.

I kind of hope they don't call Ghost or Specter "Kamen Riders" in this series. I've always liked it better when the title is dropped. Although I feel like "Armored Rider" was a nice balance in Gaim that actually made sense.

When you say power ups, do you mean forms? If that's what you mean, the he's going to collect them throughout the series.

Schrodinger's Canon, if you will.

I like to think Ghost's final form could be an Eyecon based on himself. The Takeru (what is his last name?) All his other forms have him being possessed by a spirit, let his final form be him fighting on his own.

Maybe "Ghost: Live Form."
