I think in a franchise that decided to let Gen Urobuchi take the wheel and thus alienating every single kid before the halfway point it wouldn’t be unheard of to include more female Riders.

And at the end of the day all that matters is toy-sales. And if you include like 4 items tailor made for female characters that don’t sell as well as the gazillion of other things you make then that isn’t a huge deal.

Especially in stuff like Kamen Rider were items are interchangeable throughout the line, I wouldn’t believe a young boy would turn down a Progrise key just because it has Valkyrie's helmet on its packaging. Since you know, it makes new unique sounds in the main belt anyways and the children are taught that it would become a new form they could wear.

Bottom-line: Including more female Riders is super easy, and I don’t think it would impact their sales negatively at all.
