ok i know the class of the hesei and show is based on emporer but i throwing this in here take the class of show and hesei as the time of creator of the show or skull man was alive every thing that was done when he was a live will class as showa any thing done after his passing hesei

Alright, that clears alot of the confusion up then.

And since, I think, I understand what's going on. If a show starts under one, he dies, and ends under another should count towards whatever era it started under.

Sentai did mine mak more sense as in how i normal base it one that the hole empera thing

ok so i make i mean more clear i say this i know the hesei and showa era are mean the ruler at the time but for kamen rider i think diffrently i see showa being when Shotaro Ishinomori the creator of the show was alive when Shotaro Ishinomori died thats when i see the start of the hesei

I get what you're saying. It's like Kamen Rider in particular has more reasons to be defined into two eras than other Toku series.

yea i see what you mean kamen rider i see as to era show as the creator dieing then the ruler at the time

Don't forget the decade long gap between RX and Kuuga.

true that 2 but as there where 3 kamen rider films shin zo j i class them as showa

The Decade long gap. I see what you did there!

Poor Decade, now he's getting blamed for that.

Haha. When I was making that post I was thinking of putting a "(no pun intended)" in it, but then I decided it would be in bad taste. :p

He deserves it.
