In all honesty, I really find the push for demons in a Dino-themed show pretty weird. I mean, it’s bad enough for voice actor to be racist, but the entire show is pushing for the hero to make a satanic pact with a demon? Granted, I feel like the term “demon” is being used loosely (kind of like how Oma Zi-O is commonly translated to demon king, when the actually meaning is more like evil dictator or cruel tyrant, and for some reason it’s been pretty common nowadays to describe general monsters as demons for some reason), so hopefully it’s more like the Imagin as spirit-beings than straight up demons. And it may end up with Revi just forming a rocky partnership like Ryotaro with Momotaros. Pretty weird that working with demons would be pushed as heroic though when not too long ago there was an entire episode of Zenkaiger dedicated to promoting that it’s good for kids to study the occult.
I’m definitely going to wait to see the actual show before forming an opinion, but it’s still pretty creepy if this ends up being the case (especially when the theme is dinosaurs?). Hopefully it’s more like the Imagin. The designs are absolutely amazing!
Also on a random note, it’ll be really cool to see the Decade form!! I’ve been hearing conflicting information where someone has said that it using parts of Decade’s suit, but others said that it has Decade’s shape but Revi’s colors. Looking forward to seeing the forms!!!
Tokusatsu has used demons as monsters, but not all demons have been portrayed as evil either! Ever heard of Akumaizer 3?

Dinosaurs and Demons are a strange mix from a distanced perspective, but since dinosaurs are essentially "terrible lizards" from a historical perspective, then one could say that an ancient evil and ancient creatures are part and parcel with each other.
Also, think of how the official synopsis reads too: "
Deadmans is an organization that worships demons. Through the use of mysterious ViStamps, monsters called Deadman are born from within humans. Fighting to protect his family from Deadmans’ clutches is Ikki Igurashi. He himself has a contract with Vice, a demon that lives within Ikki’s body. Together, they transform into two Kamen Riders: Ikki as Kamen Rider Revi, and Vice as Kamen Rider Vice. Together, they are Kamen Rider Revice!
"
I'm not sure which "Ancient and Evil Entity" will be used to make this so-called pact, but many different mythologies and religions have a personification of evil, so the one they use may come across as an amalgamation of multiple sources, or as a general metaphor for evil itself. Wouldn't surprise me if the protagonist actually renounces the evil that the deal was made with and ends up fighting that evil in a climactic battle.
In many ways, this does echo the mantra of the Showa Era in "Using The Powers Of Evil To Fight Evil" and how Riders were originally tragic figures who could easily have been manipulated into fighting for evil, but they escaped or were freed prior to total manipulation and have the free will and human heart to fight as a warrior of justice against those who changed them rather than as a modified weapon of evil.
As to the Imagin, they are essentially futuristic spirits who take an imagined form, but they're also viewed in the vein of a genie. Momotaros is also themed after an Oni!
As far as Zenkaiger is concerned, Magine and the kids like the supernatural. In this day and age, that's not all that surprising nor shocking. The main concern with the episode is in seeing whether a supposed school haunting is genuine or not.
Tokusatsu takes a neither here nor there approach to the portrayal of demons as monsters or monsters as demons or demons as inherently evil. In many ways, it depends on which Toku you happen to be watching at the time.
