I will offer us W as Showa-inspired suit.

When I first saw it, I immediately felt the Showa vibes. I actually thought it was a Grasshopper theme at first. I also think it made the perfect stepping stone into Heisei phase 2, which to me is very distinct in suit designs alone, if not the gimmicks- because the idea of Heisei phases is silly (there's no way Toei knew Heisei was going to last exactly 20 years and have 20 riders split neatly into 10/10.

In my eyes Double truly represented a new era in Kamen Rider. It still feels more of a significant shift in era than Heisei to Reiwa.
