JK is based on X, since they share initials. JK's actual surname, Kaizo, references the fact that X was a Kaizorg, too.

Yes, thank you Chasing for pointing that out. Adding to what Chasing said, the six members that are associated with the first 6 Showa Riders are:

Kengo Utahoshi > Takeshi Hongo/Kamen Rider 1
An anagram that makes sense in Japanese, Ke-N-Go U-Ta-Ho-Shi can be reshuffled to form Ta-Ke-Shi Ho-N-Go-U.
Shun Daimonji > Hayato Ichimonji/Kamen Rider 2
The Chinese character for Shun is what makes up the Haya of Hayato, Kamen Rider 2's given name, and part of his surname is the same, specifically the monji part.
Miu Kazashiro > Shiro Kazami/Kamen Rider V3
Her surname includes parts of V3's real name.
Yuki Jojima > Joji Yuki/Riderman
Her given name is Riderman's surname and her surname includes his given name.
JK aka Kaizo Jingu > Keisuke Jin/Kamen Rider X
Like Chasing said, the Kaizo of his name is a reference to the category of cyborg that X is, a kaizorg, and Jin is X's surname.
Tomoko Nozama > Daisuke Yamamoto/Kamen Rider Amazon
Tomoko is the only case where it is not a reference to Amazon's real name Daisuke Yamamoto, rather her surname Nozama is the word Amazon written backwards, and the Tomo of Tomoko is likely a reference to one of Amazon's known phrases, Amazon, tomodachi which means Amazon, friend.


While there may be some similarities, such as both having some roughneck characteristics, officially it is only those 6 it seems. However, if you write out his name in English and you erase certain letters and reshuffle them it does form STRONGER so it is valid. :lolol
GENTAROU KISARAGI > GENT RO S R > STRONGER

I want to see George do Kamen Rider poses as a running gag, could make for a fun easter egg hunt.

That's really interesting! Thank you!

It would be kind of neat if he introduces each Embryo with the respective Rider's Henshin pose...or goes on a whole spiel about the Rider, although that might be a bit much.

I'm curious to see how exactly the other Kamen Rider seasons exist in Revice's canon for George to be a fan of them. Are they just a TV series, like they are for us? Will they be urban legends like they were mentioned being in Fourze? Or will Kamen Riders be a fully real thing that everyone knows about, further muddling the question of whether phase 2 Heisei was in a shared universe or not?

What I’m curious about is which Kamen Rider series is currently airing in Revice’s universe. Did the franchise get cancelled after Saber? Is it Shinobi???
