Then the rest are all their own. So Gaim, Wizard, and Build are all their own universe/parallel worlds, as is everything from Kuuga to Decade. Except for maybe Kuuga and Agito possibly being connected. Not sure which ones Black and Black RX are still considered continuity to though. Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-O, and Kiva are all their own universe. Decade is multi-dimensions/all. W is part of original but is a different city.

But we do know the wall has areas that can cross dimensions like the DC Comics Source Wall as shown with the BiKaiser movie and how one of the Foundation X members had an alternate universe version of themself in Build's world that they used.

Sentai timeline gets more confusing. But it has a similar "some are connected, some aren't" approach too like Nin and Hurricane, and maybe Kaku alongside that other Toei Ninja show.

So I'm guessing they may build up to something to make it easier to spill into Zi-O as an ending, or might be prepping to do Zi-O's cameo for in series instead of the Movie style. Or it could still have the movie cameo. No clue. They've been really secretive with any filming for Zi-O stuff. So either it's a lot of sound stage stuff, or something. Usually by now with it premiering in September, you'd think some sort of cameo leak or filming leak would have happened. Major respect for how careful they've been being though outside of the toy catalog.

*Shamelessly used your post to mention the series connections, my apologies.*

Incorrect. Wizard appeared alongside Ghost, Drive, Ex-Aid and Gaim in Heisei Generations, which is explicitly canon for Ex-Aid. Gaim you could give a pass for via Helheim, but Wizard, you couldn't.

Kuuga also appears in Tomoko's video footage during Fourze of past riders, so Kuuga's not a parallel world either.

So if you consider that there is a 'main timeline' which has all of the Showa Riderss, as well as most of phase 2 Heisei Riders...

Then it would include everything up to Black RX, Kuuga, Agito (questionable, but it at least references Kuuga as canon, even if it couldn't be the direct sequel it wanted to be), Den-O (possibly, as has interacted with many other Riders, but never in an explicitly canon way), W, OOO, Fourze, Wizard, Drive, Ghost, and Ex-Aid.

...Not that it matters. Toei will change their mind on whether they're one world or many based on what will be most proitable or make the best story.
