It makes me wonder what some of the other most influential Rider shows are, or aspects of them. Obviously not counting the original series since no duh, it shaped everything.

Kuuga would probably be up there, establishing a tone and astehtic for Rider's return in 2000 and following series. Besides that and Den-o, I can't really think of any.

As I understand it, Den-O sold a lot of toys and was a pretty big success. I loved the early episodes but, ultimately, it got a bit dull despite some strong performances.

Gaim has also sold a metric butt-ton (science!) of product. If I were a brain in a jar over at Toei, I'd be thinking Den-O humor mixed with Gaim super-melodrama / weirdness = unbeatable Rider profits!!
