Yeah, come to think of it, just looking at Zero-One and Saber they are pushing two sets of collectibles; Zero-One started off with them Progrise Keys but eventually a second set of collectibles emerged through the belts. And Saber continues this newfound way of collecting two sets of collectibles with the Wonder Ride Books and the transformation devices, in this case the swords. Now I am curious if this will continue next year with Reiwa rider no.3 as well.
