I would say that anyone who releases the Riders should take a cue from Mill Creek and release multiple series at once so as to cover the enormous library of material:
- Kamen Rider (1971)
- Kamen Rider Kuuga
- Kamen Rider W
Each one is significant in its own way: '71 was when it all started, Kuuga is considered the official start of the Heisei Era, and Double came after Decade and effectively started the "Next Decade" of Heisei without relying on multiple past Riders like Decade.
Releasing Ryuki for the sake of Dragon Knight is much too random, and Black RX for the sake of Masked Rider makes less sense as RX is a sequel series to Black.
That being said, I believe that "Kamen Rider Dragon Knight" should be licensed for release. I didn't pay enough attention to it at that time, and reportedly, it wasn't a terrible adaptation so much as an adaptation that couldn't attract enough of an audience.
If the Riders are ever adapted and interwoven into the Power Rangers Multiverse, then Hasbro must purchase the rights to the Dragon Knight adaptation and merge it with PR! Essentially, it's the old "Should Sony's Marvel Movies be integrated into the MCU or not?" debate made manifest on a smaller scale!
However, the idea of licensing "Masked Rider" for a new release is controversial even to me! The only aspect of that show that has truly survived is the backdoor pilot for Mighty Morphin' Season 3, "A Friend in Need", and I think that's where it needs to stay. The only way a Rider adaptation could ever work is by merging the Riders with the Rangers. The Riders will be different to a Western Audience who is too young to be familiar with the extensive history of Kamen Rider. Actively merging itself with the familiar is the best way to make this work. As far as I'm concerned, Dragon Knight should be a part of PR canon, but Masked Rider (the Series) should not be! Any Rider adaptation, if it occurs, shouldn't upset or anger anyone ever! If Hasbro chances that and you watch it and hate it, then just go buy the source material on disc and call it a day!
