19 is back to 1(1+9=10, 1+0=1, the double sided rider is 1 person), and 20 is still 2(2+0=2, the show starts off with 2 riders that play with the numbers that effectively ends number theory).

Number theory has always loved to mess with the count like that though.
Even with Faiz, it wasn't 5, it was 4. Though it did toy with how 555 is all made up phone numbers. (Which oddly enough, is an american hollywood thing predominately...) Same as how Hibiki was 6 and about Oni, yet the 6 thing for devils/demons is also a more American/European thing. But then the show was steeply immersed in Japanese lore and cultural aspects to counter balance that.

Surprising thing about number theory is it does date back to Faiz. It wasn't noticed until the blatant W, OOO, Fourze, and Wizard though.
Kabuto as 7, Luck be a lady tonight, the Hiyori story. Den-O as 8 traveling in time through infinite possibilities. Kiva was 9, the german word for no, and about Vampires(let me bite you!). Decade was 10, cause a decade is 10.

They've been doing this for much of Heisei. W was also the 20th series, but 11th of Heisei. Double 1s. Same as how decade was 10th of Heisei but 19 overall. 1+9 and it started with Kiva appearing. Number theory is more involved than many think when you really dive into it. It's straight up chalkboard style equations. Like what Build uses to make gadgets.

Drive, Ghost and Ex-Aid in particular have nothing to do with 7, 8, 9.

Also Kiva? 9 meaning 'no' as in 'no don't bite me vamp plz'? That's ridiculous.

the site's up with a small synopsis of the story at the bottom.
I translated it from shitty Google Translate from Japanese to Dutch to English so I prob have a lot wrong here but!

"A dream to become a king, a timemachine appears infront of the main character born in 2000
A mysterious girl steps out of the time machine and tells him.
I'm from the year 2068 and in the future the world is ruled by the devil, people suffering without the hope to create.
The girl that showed up in 2018 to change the desperate future tells us further
The future ANATA? will become the king of time, the King that will destroy the world.
The hero destined to become Kamen Rider Zi-O, doesn't become a hero but a future demon king. What is the fate of the Future?"
This is the story of the Kamen Rider that will become the next king to fight for the past, the present, the future and every moment. While he bumps into the Heisei-Riders that came before him"

So Specialform12 translated it and it's pretty translatable. Also, a girl from the future. Lmao imagine if the titty speculation for Zi-O was on the wrong person, unless we learn more details on the 7th, Gates is the only person from 2068
