Why does this fight scene seem so familiar? Oh yea... this is where the first and final episode of Decade happened...

It's funny; I loved the suits, cast, opening sequence, and general concept of Decade, but the very thought of Zi-O going back to the failures of that show fills me with mild nerd-dread.

With that said, it could be argued that Gaim revisited quite a bit of Ryuki, and for me, it fixed all the problems I'd had with that show. Since it's sounding a lot like Zi-O is rehashing plot beats from Decade (our hero is a villain in the future! let's revisit all the old Rider shows! ominous tidings of upcoming cataclysm!), I can only hope that Zi-O ends up doing for Decade what Gaim did for Ryuki.

The Build Ride Watch will be given out to movie viewers on the 4th, the belt and campaign item, Cross-Z Ride Watch, release on September 1rst

Zi-O's bike reminds me of Acrobatter. I wish it could talk too. I love sentient machines.

Since Zi-O is about time & time-travel, will there be any stuff in Zi-O like...

- The Flash
- Terminator
- Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time-The Two Thrones
- Back To the Future
- Doctor Who

I'd even throw in the doctor and maybe marty mcfly

There wasn't in Den-O, so no, probably not. As I've told you before, Kamen Rider - as a Japanese kids show - is more likely to reference Japanese media than anything else.

Further more, Zi-O - like Gokaiger before it, is an anniversary series first, and anything else second. The primary thing it will be referencing...is Kamen Rider.

I personally didn't think they'd reference anything either but it would be a pleasant surprise. I mean they did reference batman with the rogue spinoff episode titles.

Here's a conversion I've seen popped up in a few places. After Zi-O, would you like to see Takaiwa continue his role as main suit actor or do you think he should step down and let someone new takeover? The argument I've seen for the later is that Takaiwa is clearly not as agile as he used to be and that it's starting to affect the choreography.

Well Zi-O's story say he'll be a "demon".

I wonder if they'll bring up something from Prince of Persia? Like the Two Thrones with the Dark Prince. AND maybe... from Terminator Genisys with John Connor turned into a Terminator.
