Not only that, Decade is about passing through time. Megalodons are in the past, they are ancient. Go figure. Also for Fourze, it is based on space. This might be a reach, but the movie Planet of the Apes is set in space as well. Not only that, I’m pretty sure that a gorilla or some other kinds of primate has made it to space before? Or at least been on a spaceship/rocket? Possibly just a coincidence though.

I admire your chutzpah, but y'all are really reaching here.

So far, any connection between the rider and the animal is tenuous at best. In all likelihood, Bandai has a list of prehistoric animals that tested well in focus groups with kids, and they're randomly pairing them with a list of past riders.
