The Den-O tribute was covered by Heisei Generations Forever, hence Another Den-O and Ryotaro appearing there.
Of course, he didn't get the Den-O watch, so I'm not sure if they'll just do a second tribute (if any series is popular enough to deserve it, its Den-O), or have Sougo acquire it some other way - maybe during the Ginga arc.

I hope Ginga arc is not it's own single arc, not gonna lie the Quiz and Kikai arc felt padding the show and Ginga could easily be paired with Den-O or Kiva (assuming they use Masao)

Okay, Kiriya is about the most disappointing character they could have gone with for this. Todoroki returning is cool, but as someone who considers the last 19 episodes to be apocrypha, this physically hurts me. At least we're getting a Hibiki tribute, though. I wouldn't have been surprised if Toei had just shoved the watch into the summer movie to get it out of the way like they did with W.

It's a masterpiece, just stop watching after episode 29.

I'm only up to Ep 40 of Hibiki, but I have to say that I'm probably one of the few who favours post Ep 29.

Granted the first "Half" was exotic in an interesting way, but the focus on non-rider characters and lack of action dragged it a bit for me and I didn't like the voice switch of Hime and Douji. After 33, I'm much more comfortable with the show, with the better opening theme, Hime and Douji having their proper voices, Kiriya spicing things up and more focus on the Riders.

I mean it's like with the Transformers movies, with the humans "stealing" the focus of the show when it should be on the superhero alien robots.

Wow.
I...have never seen anyone like the second half of Hibiki before. I feel like I've just encountered a Shiny Pokemon pre-Gen VI without the Shiny Charm.

I disagree, mind - I think everything post Inoue taking over is absolute bullshit, especially when you take into account the absolute horror that was going on behind the scenes.

I'm not the kind of asshole who will tell you you're 'wrong' for having an unpopular opinion, though. I'm honestly a little glad that someone likes it, at least?

For episodes 35 & 36 everyone's favourite suit swapping, water diving writer Toshiki Inoue will be doing it. So If I where to take a guess what the next tribute after Hibiki will be, it'll probably be Kiva.

Honestly I was kibda disappointed that W didn't get a proper tribute (heard that it was tacked on in the movie compared to Kuuga and Den-O). Even if they couldn't get Shotaro for some reason, they can always have Accel.

IIRC the movie was supposed to be the Double arc, but Suda while wanting to is booked for the next two years. So instead they opted for Den-O

Huh so that's why only Kuuga and Double Armor are shown. But it is weird that Renn Kiriyama is unavailable.

I think it might be a case of they wanted them both back, so they just opted for neither.

That's just my theory on it
