I’ll just say that I agree with everything everyone’s said so far, before going on to point out that given all the T2 Memories are Kamen Rider Gaia Memories, there are parallel worlds out there where we have Kamen Riders Key and Ocean (and the latter is the Ramen guy).

And now we begin the surprisingly light actor trivia (besides the fact Queen and Elizabeth found the Accel, Key and Bird memories in that particular order.

Special Guest Alert!

First off, our ally for this movie (such as she is) Maria is played by Aya Sugimoto, who was previously the villain in both Ultraman Dyna’s movie and Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. One imagines based on that end credits scene in the director’s cut that they had plans for the character to reappear that fell through.

And the only other major guest I know of is Masayuki Deai as the Trigger Dopant, who was previously Eiji Takaoka/BoukenSilver in GoGo Sentai Boukenger (hilariously, his character here has the hairstyle and mannerisms of a different character on that show, who’ll be appearing in an OOO two-parter, so I’ll be sure to point him out then) and was later Tessai/KyoryuGray in Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger.

And a fun fact: both the hero and the villain of this piece get to pay homage to their actors’ childhood Rider shows: Shotaro turns into a black coloured Rider who uses the Rider Punch and the Rider Kick (Black), while Daido beats up some thugs in South America during a flashback montage (Amazon).
