"Some people might be thinking, 'He's writing again?' but this is also a first for me. This time, I get the challenge of writing a story with only one main Rider. I hope everyone who watches and has seen my previous work will enjoy it."

Yea, I wouldn't take it too literally. Like, I think it's more that the show is about Baku and Baku first. Because Ex-Aid, 01, and Geats all had ensemble main characters that shared relatively good amounts of focus between them. Not to mention that this is the sort of thing they said about Gotchard, and people got pissed when we did actually get more Riders (though compared to Geats, any number of Riders would be "less").
