It's ostensibly a sequel to Kuuga, but the connections are very loose and only mentioned once or twice in the show itself. Tonally it's pretty similar to Kuuga and it shares the more serialized plot structure. If you enjoyed Kuuga, you'll probably like Agito for many of the same reasons.

I remember it as being that they helped protect the Linto from the Grongi, for a time at least, but weren't actually the Linto themselves. It's been a long damn time since I read about that, though, so I may be totally off-base. Either way, it's not mentioned in the show anywhere and would just appear in written supplementary material, kinda like Ultimate Kuuga's ability to destroy the world with his Rider Kick.

Kuuga/Agito spoilers: I always liked the idea of the Linto being worshipers of the Overlord of Darkness and the Lords being their guardians. It's how I head canon Kuuga and Agito looking so similar: the Linto wanted to create a powerful warrior to fight the Grongi, so they made Kuuga. It stands to reason that the Linto would want their warrior to intimidate the Grongi, so why not pattern it after a terrifying creature from their own mythology? And if the Overlord of Darkness is God and the Lords are angels, then that would make Agito a demon. So Kuuga looks the way he does because his appearance is modeled after Agito. Completely 100% personal head canon, but the idea amuses me a lot.
