Now I don't know if this only applies to rider roles only, but I would not be surprised if this also applied to supporting roles as well so that they do not get involved in any form of nepotism-related shenanigans. Thoughts?

Meanwhile, the main writer for Agito... had a dad who worked as the main writer on Showa Kamen Rider series. Fun rule!
