The fact that the Reiwa era was so close to the 50th anniversary of Kamen Rider, whose celebration was also delayed by 3 years due to Covid, simply played a role here. Plus, I have a theory that Gotchard with Legend and the theme of the three was a 50th anniversary concept rejected in favor of Revice. In any case, I'm sure that the strange riders will return. It just looks like someone in Toei really wants to increase the percentage of grasshoppers among the main riders.
