As for Ryuki, maybe the Shinji Kido from Episode Final is the one constantly showing up, and not the one from the original timeline. I've always theorized that the Pre-Den-O movies are themselves A.R. worlds where Tsukasa can go and recruit Riders. It would certainly explain why Diend can summon riders that supposedly never existed.

Ah, I wasn't sure about Kabuto anymore since it's been so long since I watched it. But yeah, it's still Tendou, so the Kabuto Zecter will probably appear for plot convenience as everything in Kabuto did, lol.

The idea of A.R. Ryuki is pretty neat, tbh. That would actually make sense for once.
