(Or maybe the special being Like That is reason why certain fans want a re-do.....?)

People love ninjas! That's more than enough reason. Regarding the quality of Rider Time Shinobi, that's entirely subjective. As a fan of Kaneko Kaori's work in general, I personally loved it and thought it was very humorous while also filling in more of Rentarou's character and life as a ninja in a ninja society. So yeah, I actually wouldn't mind a continuation of that at all, not that I'm expecting much more than maybe a sequel miniseries though.

I see this misconception a lot. Sure, the whole premise of the two timelines arc was that only one could become canon. But on the new Day of Oma, it turned out to be neither of them. Or rather, both of them mixed together. Geiz Revive didn't kill Sougo, but Sougo didn't become Oma Zi-O either. The Nexus Future is one we know little about. The only reason stated for Shinobi's existence is simply that Oma Zi-O didn't murder everybody.
