So trivia time! Hibiki in very early pre-production wasn't supposed to be a Kamen Rider show. Rather Takatera actually wanted it to another reboot of a classic Ishinomori hero. Henshin Ninja Arashi




this would of kicked off a shared Reboot universe about 3 years before the MCU. Sadly this was not to be however The Armor of Ogre is great reference to the Hibiki pre-production roots.



The connection is strengthend in the Hibiki novel revealing that the armor was crafted by Arashi father after meeting Past!Hibiki from the movie.
