Here's my predictions for 2020 Sentai:

*Middle Eastern/Indian mythology (with lunar powers and stamps)
*Sports
*Insects
*Marine vehicles
*Witchcraft (with the main characters of Ojamajo Doremi as narrators)
*Ojamajo Doremi
*Native American/First Nations mythology (without stereotypes)
*Arctic mythology
*Vikings

Predictions for the 2019-2020 Kamen Rider:

*Flags and countries
*Chinese mythology
*Military
*Pirates
*Dinosaurs
*Egyptian mythology

One of the Sentai ones is close. But maybe not 2020.
45th anniversary year +Olympics, which means high tourism. So it means best foot forward to wow any that come in, plus it'll be the 2nd year/first real year since Hasbro funds are involved. As well as will need to be a place to allow for recreational escapism from the high amounts of sports content being heavily pushed everywhere else from the olympics, but also is very significant to the country itself to have that "welcome to our heroes, and here is your introductory guide to our history."

So it'll be best foot forward with all kinds of wow and audience draw potential while celebrating sentai in some way as well as heavy emphasis on the morals and lessons in it.

Like how Kyu had that very celebratory ending credits sequence.

The future Rider themes do look fantastic!

Ryusoulger is breaking trends in other ways. This is normal pattern though. LuPat was very new aspects in many ways by shaking things up, so a return to a classic staple was expected. That's what all companies do. Toei especially does this often as we saw with the shift from Hibiki to Kabuto, and the same again from Kiva to Decade(classic nods heavy) with the W followup. Tsuburaya does this too. From Nexus to Max, and how Gridman did this too in the anime.

So I expect next sentai and riders are going to be very classic in some ways, but also lots of new stuff too in other ways. Balanced approach of wow, new and flashy, to still comforting and what you know and are familiar with. It's a tight rope you have to walk of things that pull people in, as well as expand their horizons.
