Given all the fuss about its subscription numbers back in the day, the idea of it making it to 2005, much less 2017, was already pretty unlikely.

Apparently ORE Journal's shutdown date was a reference to the original tie-in website made by TV-Asahi being taken offline.

This is one of the things that I think is so brilliant about how this tribute two-parter works. Massive Ryuki spoils follow:

Ryuki's final episode (not to be confused with Episode Final) ends with the timeline getting reset so that the Rider War and its subsequent casualties never happen. Zi-O actually runs with this: there is no Ryuki here because there is no Kamen Rider Ryuki. There never was a Kamen Rider Ryuki. All that we have left is Shinji's asshole reflection hanging around in Mirror World as this one remaining artifact of a timeline that was already erased before the Time Jackers had a chance to get around to it themselves.

I love that Zi-O did this, especially when every other Legend Rider crossover has Ryuki just hanging around in the background like it's no big deal.
