Though the plot summary doesn't sound too ridiculous so I'm gonna buy it for the time being. It fits the previous rumor and doesn't contradict anything in the Gashapon scans. I like the idea of Sento being the first legend, and that means Zi-O's first form is going to be Build's. Also maybe Sento is with Gates because he comes from a different dimension as shown in Heisei Gen Final.

I hope Yuya Takahashi is writing this one cause he's great with cross-overs.

Also, thinking about the concept of the show... Hopefully Toei is hiring competent writers and creatives this season. Going back in time to the respective Rider's year can open up so many problems. The oldest actors aren't going to look anything like they did back then, the sets won't exist anymore etc. Continuity-wise, this could end up a bigger mess than Decade was. We're not continuing a Rider's story or meeting alternate versions, we're talking about going back in time to the year that Rider show was airing. There is gonna be some higher expectations for returning actors too.

I'm just gonna have fun with it and enjoy seeing whatever Toei does but this ain't gonna be pretty for the more anal fans.

I wanna say it is Takaiwa as well judging by the hair. I was thinking Eitoku but he has longer hair than that now it seems. Or maybe another possibility is Satoshi Fujita.

I mean Build technically did have a cameo near the end of Ex-Aid lol. And it made sense with Heisei Generations Final.

Oh it made perfect sense in Heisei Gens Final, I meant more like with Drive and Ghost having him randomly show up.

If Toei's gotten better about anything since Decade, I feel it's returning actors. The only Heisei Riders that I can't recall making physical appearances after their series ended are Godai, Shinji, Hibiki, Tendou, Ryotaro and Philip.

Of that list, I can definitely see Takamasa Suga (Shinji) and possibly Shigeki Hosokawa (Hibiki) coming back. If Yuki Sato's (Kagami) tweet when Heisei Generations FINAL came out is anything to go by, then he and Hiro Mizushima (Tendou) might not totally be off the table either.
