As 01 & Kuuga are a match, what of Saber?s, Revice?s & Geats??

Not sure why Heisei seasons have to be part of a Reiwa anniversary ...

But I think after doing "Rider turns into Rider" & "Rider uses Rider armor", fusion would be a logical step. I'd kinda like to see it be done like Ultraman Z, where all the form changes borrow elements from three different Ultramans (Ultramen ?) Hey! By that logic, at the 10th Reiwa season you could do 3 form changes of 3 Riders

I think the last series thst felt super fresh to me was Gaim. I love quite a few series after that, like Ex-Aid and Build, but Gaim really defined Rider vs Rider conflict for the modern era and most subsequent shows would take a page out of its book.


As for what I'd like the series to do to freshen itself up... I think it would be cool to do a split viewpoint of two opposing Rider teams. Kinda like Lupin vs Pat? (I haven't seen Lupin vs Pat.) I think there's a lot of untapped potential there. In Faiz I always loved the split viewpoint between the Takumi and Kiba's groups.

This wouldn't really work because of the current business model, but I'd be curious to see Rider go back to the early Heisei format: minimal gimmicks and form changes + 1-2 Riders. I'd also like to see Rider lean more toward the tragic hero again, or even anti-hero, but I'm not sure how sustainable that is when the show has to run year long
