Technically it's Kamen Rider J --> Power Rangers -- > Kamen Rider --> Super Sentai --> Kamen Rider again
I watched J first, didn't know the title because I was a small-brained back then, thought it was power rangers, found Decade which led me to check out Shinkenger, few years pass, I go back in with Rider again. Quote:
Yeah, it's a good one for Natsumi. I like that her decision to be there for her friend is something she comes to on her own? It's a little thing, but I like that it's not Tsukasa who has to reach out and make Natsumi feel better. It's Natsumi who has to figure out how to give Tsukasa the necessary emotional support that he would never in a million years ask for. It levels the playing field a bit, makes Team Decade feel a little more equal.
Same story for me, except I started with Episode 1 cause I wanted to know what Decade's deal was. I recall seeing Den-O do the "watch on Friday as well!" thing while catching up with Gekiranger as Go-Onger was airing, but it was only through Shinkenger that I became aware of what Kamen Rider actually was. Heisei Rider anyway. I had no idea then that there were Riders before Kuuga, but that's a story for the next world.

Upon my first viewing of this episode, I had no knowledge on Sentai. When I was first getting into Tokusatsu, I too, was given the shade from people when I said "It's those Power Rangers guys."
Now I actually want to watch Sentai and enjoying it. Anyway, I really enjoyed this episode. Initially, I did think this was a joke, but setting this up as a World without Riders, and spotlighting Tsukasa's lack of a home after failing to find one, made this one of my favorite episodes (It certainly makes me want to watch Shinkenger). The dynamic of Rider and Sentai just works here, I don't know how else to describe it. It had just the right balance of humor, drama, and action to keep it interesting rather than peter out before kicking off again like a few of the past arcs. There's just something hilarious about the Decade cast watching the Shinkengers appear with their reactions ranging from: "What?" to "Really?" And Decade being a Kabuki, who has to serve under Red shows how little he matters to a world's "true hero." That and AR Kuuga trying to infiltrate their base, only to get chastised by Tsukasa was amusing. And then for Decade's Final Form Ride, which was so cool, and Decade and Red's bit at the end, showing that they're not as hostile towards Decade despite how much of a heckler Narutaki is. Overall, really good episode. Next world is the last Showa Rider and what is considered by many (or at least when I was starting out) to be the greatest Kamen Rider Season. Kamen Rider Black!

You quoted my explanation of how it works in this show, then ignored it completely. No one turns the monster in Shinkenger giant. It's an innate part of their biology. You kill them, they become big. Only exceptions are thing that have altered or taxed their biology in some way.
They could have handwaved it in this case, but they just ignore it instead. So even being a KR movie won't save the hijacking. Well, it's Zangetsu vs Zangetsu Shin... so Micchy stealing his belt happened long ago. He did seemingly kill Takatora right before though.

What also didn't help Gaim was that the Early-20's to Mid-30's all had different kinds of product placements placed within it. What with Showa vs Heisei, Kikaider, and the Soccer Movie taking up time and interrupting stuff.
So the Soccer Tie In came at even a worse time because we've already had two promotions before it. |

I never noticed the significance until now, but Tsukasa getting the role of a kuroko, a literal background character to Shinkenger, is very appropriate for the theme of this story.

Shortly after Decade, I saw the first episode of Goranger, then jumped into Lupinranger Vs. Patranger, the then current season. By Ryusoulger, I was hooked, and have since been keeping up with the current seasons (Really enjoying Zenkaiger). I do plan to watch some older Sentai, same with Rider, but I just need to find time.

That's where the timeline gets confusing. RX is the last show to air in the Showa Era, premiering in 1988 and continuing in to the Heisei Era in 1989, but succeeding Riders would continue to identify as Showa until Kuuga.

The split between Showa and Heisei was always less to do with eras and more just to do with how the terms fit as definitions for the split fans saw -- it's essentially just 'old' Kamen Rider, and the consistent continuous stream of seasons that have happened since Kuuga (almost all of which are ~50 episodes, and have seen no hiatuses or being cut short like say Super-1 or Amazon). There's also that Kuuga was the first Kamen Rider to be made without Ishinomori's direct involvement, as he passed away shortly before full production
