They are still tribute episodes, but these are tributes to underlying aspects of the lore/genre as a whole.

We should still get more other tribute stuff later. These are upcoming episodes which is why they are featured so heavily. Likely only 4 episodes at max, with potentially extra cameos after to show how the timeline is being shook up itself now. So they act as a way to further the plot and themes too. As well as other future surprises.

Glad to see Tajador getting a decade form. That's a nice added surprise to further the theme of how Decade forms are the "final forms/extra power ups".

Love the usage of it too, as how it relates to final forms of base form riders. Like build's sparkling being a final form that doesn't need an excess device enhancement(the hazard trigger). Which coincides nicely to OOOs with how it's the three red coins of the base form. Whereas putotyra is 3 all new coins and similar to the hazard trigger in that regard. Fits to Grateful form ghost too, since that eyecon was all the eyecons merged.

Really like the extra layers of thought put into various decisions, and the respect to each show used on the deeper level of their aspects in that way.

Makes me curious what we'll see for Drive later, and especially curious how they're going to eventually handle Kabuto. Those two in particular because of their high speed natures have a lot of potential.

Do expect Kiva at some point. Emperor Form is such a no brainer for this, same to King Form Blade. Too obvious to not do something big and special with, especially since Kuuga is getting the literal "big threat" movie treatment.
