Fashion and trendiness in clothing is a lot more popular in Japan than it is in the West. I'm not sure about kids, but it's definitely a theme that would resonate with Japanese teens.

If the recent Kamen Rider shows exist in the same universe as each others then how come they never references each others events from each other shows? I mean Fourze reference the W movie on a urban legend website. The Helheim invasion is too big to ignore. It would be cool if there was some references to it in Drive.

I like pretending that each show takes place in its own separate universe, while those cross overs are just non-canon and take place probably in a different universe. Foundation X was in both Fourze and W, and the medals from OOO's were foreshadowed by X. So those three shows are loosely connected. But again in my mind each show is in it's own separate universe. Except Black and Black RX.

Considering they have their own world-wide attack thing in the past with the Roidmudes, it's highly unlikely. Because if the events of Gaim were to be a thing in Drive, the earth would look different and people would still talk about it or at least compare the Roidmudes to the Inves.

I'm aware of the Fourze thing, but I attribute this to it being an anniversary show and they wanted to incorporate the Kamen Rider-legacy somehow. In of itself I don't think it's more than the usual Rider-crossovers.

I don't think any Kamen Rider-show exists in the same universe as another, unless stated otherwise. But they are like a multiverse which crosses lines constantly. Kinda like Dark Souls where time and space keeps overlapping and allows players to visit other worlds which are similar to theirs, yet different.

All of the Showa series explicitly took place in the same universe.

KR is already about fashion

Belts
Buckles
W had a small cape
Skull had a cap
OOOO had medallions
Various ones have had capes
Drive has a FUCKING SASH, which is what beauty queens wear
U all just not seeing it

Everyone here seems iffy about a fashion themed Rider series.

I'm just here waiting for a Senketsu returns confirmation in Rider form (I mean, Kill la Kill was technically 15% fashioned themed, and it did alright).

Well when all we have is fashion to go off I imagine people would feel iffy given how it feels quite unexpected but then kamen rider made fruit warriors work so you never know.

Also at the current moment we don't know if it the main part of the motif, a minor part of the motif or if it actually the real deal.

Kuuga and Agito seem to take place in the same universe. It also possible that Kuuga and Agito also exist in the same universe as the Showa riders going by the Agito PS2 game since the game's timeline has 1971 - Agito in the same timeline together. I think continuity for Rider shows goes like this:

Showa: 1971 - Black RX
Kuuga/Agito: 1971 - Agito
Shin, ZO, J and Ryuki - Decade: All stand alone. They all take place in their own continuity.
W - Drive: 1971-Black RX, Kuuga, Kiva and W - Drive.

I think W - Drive to exist in the same universe since some of the crossover movies where reference in the show. Kuuga was shown in Fourze and Kiva's belt was reference in Gaim. I do wish Toei would build their universe better similar how Marvel studios does.

Wait what?

I remember Kuuga was shown on the urban legend website on Fourze and Kiva's belt info was seen in Gaim episode 27 on Royma's computer.

I think he's referencing this right here:

Agito and Kuuga have to take place in the same universe since the design of G3 is based on Kuuga.

Are we gonna get another toy catalogue for Drive, I do want to see the other set of signal bikes and see if they are the ones that belong to Chase.

Drive is done with toys. The last item from its Mainline is Shift Tridoron in june. The next Rider catalogue we are going to get is for the show after Drive.

Huh that is a bit disappointing, I was hoping that Chase and Gou would get proper final forms but if that is the case then fair enough then.

So Type Trideron is the final form?

Yup Type Tridoron is Drives last form.

The video games, don't really bring much relevance to canon, since they are just there for fun.

The kivas belt thing was an Easter egg.

I just can't see how people see W-Drive in the same universe. The movies are just their own thing to make money, to bring back old cast members. They don't really serve that much of a purpose outside of that. They're not canon to the show.

All of W and Fourze's movies were very much canon to the series, including their team-up films. I would say that W through Wizaed are very clearly in the same continuity thanks to the Movie War crossovers and the lack of anything in-show to preclude it. So far Gaim is obviously unique and there's nothing to clearly tie Drive into the same universe.

Okay, this is how I view the Kamen Rider Multiverse:

- The Showa Riders are explicitly in the same universe.
- Kuuga and Agito are in the same universe, since the G-series was based on Kuuga, and built to fight the Grongi.
- Ryuki could be in any universe, because its ending retcons it out of existence
- Den-O and Kiva are in the same universe, as seen in Climax Deka.
- Decade is Decade, nuff said.
- The other Phase 1 Heisei Riders are in their own universes, minus Kabuto which appears to be the universe of The First and The Next.
- W-Wizard are in the same world, as seen many times, but I'll stick to the things seen in the actual shows. The King's Core Medals appeared in W 48, Kengo and Yuki appeared in OOO's finale, and Haruto appeared in Fourze's finale, unintentionally cockblocking Shun. In addition, since Kuuga, Ichigou, and Super-1 were seen in archive clips in the beginning of Fourze, that means that this World is the same one as the Showa Universe, and the Kuuga-Agito Universe
- Gaim is definitely in its own world, but the Sengoku Movie Battle might have still happened anyway since it was mainly in the Sengoku World. Nothing says Haruto came from the same world as Kouta.
- Drive...is tricky. Because Movie War Full Throttle is definitely canon to both series, but nobody mentions anything about the Helheim Invasion.

Which is why I said this:

How did you come to that conclusion?

Masaya Kikawada, the actor who plays Takeshi Hongo in The First/The Next, appears in character in Episode 14 of Kabuto and calls Souji "weird". It's more of an easter egg since Kabuto is the first show to air after The First, so they smuggled the actor of Takeshi Hongo in there.

I really havent seen Kabuto in a long while. Still the thing doesnt add up for the same reasons Kabuto doesnt fit with anyone else. In the First and the Next Shibuya is still intact and there is no evidence that it got destroyed.

I'm okay with the most overrated Kamen Rider being in the same universe as the most disappointing interpretations of the original 3 Showa Riders.

With the GataKiriBa combo Kamen Rider OOO can create clones of himself, but is there anything that suggests that the clones of the belt that are created from said combo aren't as functional as the original? Put more simply, is it at all possible for OOO to use GataKiriBa, clone himself than switch out the medals from that clone with say... Tajador or Sagozo?

That would be awesome if he/they could!!

yes. he does it in one of the movies.
pretty hype.

He does?! O_O

SUBARASHI! :D

Watch the OOO Wonderful movie.

It's a top contender for my favorite Kamen Rider moment of all time. So awesome.

Anybody have the clip of Yami Gaim's Henshin? I can't seem to find it.

that would be in the Gaim summer movie

I still can't seem to find the clip though.... >__> I suck at finding things.

Doesn’t look like someone edited it out and uploaded it, jut download the RAW of the movie, that's floating around the net for some time now.

Is kamen rider gaim like the season where most riders die based on how i starting to watch it?

Nope. That honor goes to Ryuki.

In Gaim only 1 riders die. The rest just lose their powers.

That's actually wrong dude. More than 1 rider died.
