Or the Amazon Neo watch being labeled as 2017 despite Amazons Season 2 taking place 5 years after Season 1.

And according to Shinkenger cellphones and spandex suits were a thing centuries ago during the era of the Samurai. :lolol

What convinced Toei/Bandai/whomever-made-this-call decided to make Accel turn into a bike? Like it's not bad, I just wanna know why. ^^;

Okay, in-story, the reason some of Build's combos make no sense is because Soichi was trying to confuse Evolt, but in reality, how the heck did the creators choose what bottles went together, or even what bottles to have in the first place? Were they just pulling words out of a hat or something?

Maybe it was an attempt to keep the bikes relevant? But it seemed to backfire in that regard, since his bike form being CGI meant they used it even less.

What the hell was Foundation X originally supposed to be? I remember being intrigued by them since they tied Double & OOO together, but nothing was really done with them. And then Fourze happened & we got to see the 3 Rider Crossover where they were the main villains. But was that it? That was the payoff? I feel like there had to be more, atleast during the planning stages ya know?

It definitely seems like they were meant to be a modern remake of the idea of Shocker, a central villain that ties multiple seasons together; and like the later Nova Shocker I definitely like the interpretation of making them a corporate entity. But it uh... yeah, it just sort of petered out unceremoniously?

Yeah it really is weird, they honestly just seem to be in and out when it comes to like, their presence.

Cause W through Fourze, there was this building and them being dealt with. Then they went silent for a long while until Ex-Aid I believe with the Beast Rider Special. With them studying the Bugster stuff which leads into the whole Enigma Incident of Heisei Generations Final.

Edit: Mid post edit but I do recall that the villain and helper fairies of Battride War were like former Foundation X people too, and that came out during Wizard. Not the most but hey it's there. lol

After that they were mostly gone and then they pop up again in video game form via Memory of Heroez. But yeah they're fairly sporadic and it just seems to be up to whoever is writing at the time to push for them really.

Iirc, the guy who was pushing all the Foundation X stuff just got slightly less involved with the running of things, and no-one else really cared enough to try and work it in until a few years later when, hey, wouldn't it be cool if we linked it back to that thing from five years ago?

Uhhh I mean Zi-O did it.

Unpopular opinion, but I'm so glad they dropped Foundation X.
Yeah, a unifying force is neat, but when all they do is walk around in white coats holding briefcases as the heroes are unable to catch up with their average walking pace, it's so lame.

So for such a dull group to be the "Real" masterminds behind the main villains' plots feels like such a slap in the face. The villains with charisma and an interesting plot is actually 10 rungs down the ladder of nobody characters? Yeah, no thank you.

Foundation X had become an utter joke by the time Fourze rolled around anyway. Just say they're a subset/partner of Shocker and be done with it.
