Neo-Heisei, of course. :lol

This will be interesting.

Really? I don't see much divide in Super Sentai at all. Barely anything changed between Showa and Heisei, the only division really seems to be around Timeranger, when they started using CGI.

Here is how I group the "eras".

Showa Era Phase 1
Kamen Rider
Kamen Rider V3
Kamen Rider X
Kamen Rider Amazon
Kamen Rider Stronger

Showa Era Phase 2
Skyrider
Kamen Rider Super-1
Kamen Rider ZX

Showa Era Phase 3 aka Metal Hero Era
Kamen Rider BLACK
Kamen Rider BLACK RX

Proto-Heisei Era
Kamen Rider Shin
Kamen Rider ZO
Kamen Rider J

Heisei Era Phase 1
Kamen Rider Kuuga
Kamen Rider Agito
Kamen Rider Ryuki
Kamen Rider Faiz
Kamen Rider Blade
Kamen Rider Hibiki
Kamen Rider Kabuto
Kamen Rider Den-O
Kamen Rider Kiva
Kamen Rider Decade

Heisei Era Phase 2
Kamen Rider W
Kamen Rider OOO
Kamen Rider Fourze
Kamen Rider Wizard
Kamen Rider Gaim
Kamen Rider Drive
Kamen Rider Ghost
Kamen Rider Ex-Aid

Not just with Kamen Rider and Super Sentai. The next Godzilla franchise will be name after whatever the new era is in Japan.

Which is pretty close to the 'official' grouping by Toei.


Showa Era
Kamen Rider
Kamen Rider V3
Kamen Rider X
Kamen Rider Amazon
Kamen Rider Stronger
New Kamen Rider (Skyrider)
Kamen Rider Super-1
Kamen Rider ZX
Kamen Rider BLACK
Kamen Rider BLACK RX

Ungroupd; sometimes Heisei, sometimes Showa.
Kamen Rider Shin
Kamen Rider ZO
Kamen Rider J

Heisei Era Phase 1
Kamen Rider Kuuga
Kamen Rider Agito
Kamen Rider Ryuki
Kamen Rider Faiz
Kamen Rider Blade
Kamen Rider Hibiki
Kamen Rider Kabuto
Kamen Rider Den-O
Kamen Rider Kiva
Kamen Rider Decade

Heisei Era Phase 2
Kamen Rider W
Kamen Rider OOO
Kamen Rider Fourze
Kamen Rider Wizard
Kamen Rider Gaim
Kamen Rider Drive
Kamen Rider Ghost
Kamen Rider Ex-Aid

Sentai didn't change tact with Turbranger, though, so I doubt Kamen Rider or Super Sentai will this time.

Well, if the Heisei Era Phase 2 started with a lot of gimick toys for kids, and then just became a "how many forms can we give a rider" palooza, maybe the new era will go back to a select few forms, or dial it up more to ridiculous degrees.

And maybe they'll kill and replace the main rider part way through, like how certain Sentai members were during Showa.

This is just me coming up with random ideas, no real evidence to them. But there were some subtle differences between the pre-Decade Heisei and the things they did with post-Decade Heisei, so it will be interesting to see what they go with now.

I don't think there will be a big change will happen. With Kuuga, we had no new Kamen Rider show in the 90's and Black RX was our last rider show for 11-12 years. So with Kuuga, I can see why they can they made Kuuga feel different from the Showa era shows.

Toei have been using the same Rider format for the last 10 years since Den-O, so I doubt we will see anything new in the next era.
