I was just wondering to myself if we'd ever see Takumi or Faiz again, but I never expected we'd get a whole 20th anniversary special!!!

Looking forward to seeing what they do with it and what craziness Inoue will deliver for this Faiz follow-up. I hope they acknowledge/honor Kiba.

(And, I mean, there was no way Kusaka and Kaido weren't going to be in it).

Didn't Faiz die in one of the movies a few years back?

That's right. Takumi revealed that he died from his accelerated mutation decay at some point between Faiz's finale and Kamen Rider 4.

Considering the title of the 20th anniversary movie though, it sounds like it could be in continuity with Paradise Lost.

Which in all honesty is kind of odd, given that Kaixa died in Paradise Lost, but is specifically back for this. I guess either there will be situations with flashbacks, or this film will be either a new continuity altogether, or maybe there will be a plot point of reviving past riders/orphonochs (which would be in theme with the "Regained" title of this film).

That wasn't written by Inoue, though, so I think it's safe to assume that it won't be canon for this project. Of course, given that Kusaka is in it despite dying in both the series and the movie, it's hard to guess how this will fit with anything until we see it for ourselves.

You can come up with a million reasons why any character comes back to life. How many times have Ankh and Genm died?

Everyone knows characters never everrrrr come back to life in tokusatsu! :lolol

No shot Takumi is making it out of this alive.

Looks interesting. Cool how he’s finally getting his tech updated to a more recent model. And not to nitpick, but ‘Paradise Found’ would’ve rolled off the tongue far better than ‘Paradise Regained’.

I was certainly not expecting this, or at least, not to this extent.

New form? Most of the old gang back together? Wow, I should really get around to watching more of the older shows, especially Faiz.

But for now, I absolutely love the new form! I'm personally a fan of it's bulkiness and sleekness of its upgraded tech. It almost feels like the 2016 Ichigo design which is another reason why I love it.
