Has Kamen Rider ever been that dark, outside of Shin and Amazons - both outliers marketed to adults? No.

An intent that was willingly set to the side does not a legacy make.

Yes, because toy sales for those series were so bad, they almost cancelled the show. Den-O saved the franchise. Trust me, I'd love another Blade...but it ain't gonna happen.
