But in the show they figured out that the weakness of the Another Riders is the original Rider's power by seeing Ex-Aid's attacks work better on Another Ex-Aid than their own attacks. If Ex-Aid had been there earlier he might have been able to last long enough to beat Another Ex-Aid. For a movie, a fighting scene with the group of Riders vs Another Riders also seems like an obvious idea and I'll be surprised if it doesn't happen.

Until that's changed somehow, those are the current universe rules. Which means we will see Den-O and W armor times, and will carry over to series. But they will probably start laying the ground work on how to "release the watch" like how the Doctor gets his memories and Timelord physiology restored when he uses the pocket watch.

A Den-O armor wasn't in the debut list though, which is what makes me doubtful. Not to mention that the Den-O Watch is already out. I can't see them going back and making a new movie form for old toys.

But it's far too early to start a mass "ride watch release" as yet. So we will only see small usages of that for now, and potentially only temporary ones to help build the drama. We'll only be at the half way point of Q2 by the time the movie hits. Major dramatic elements that build to the finale and future movies won't be until mid or late Q3.

Right now is universe building time and explaining the world rules as well as elaborating on them. Rewriting the rules is a late Q3 thing normally.

The issue is that toyline-wise the Ride Armors are completely done by the end of December. Q2 has the Final Form Ride Watches, but those don't even have armor designs and focus mostly on Riders that already appeared in Q1 (the W->Build group). It'll be really unusual if Zi-O continues focusing on them after the toyline moved on.

Though another thing to keep in mind is how the Decade ride watch may work too. Presumably, it lets a ride watch become the rider directly instead of an armor, at least if it mimics Decade's power.

The toyguide shows how it works. Using Build + Decade for example turns into the Build Sparkling suit, but with the Decade Armor's chest and helmet (but with a Build face plate replacing Decade's on the helmet).
