/m/ translated some stuff about Xross Saber in the Detail Of Heroes book. Should update once there's new info.
People who are in a position to plan a program always keep in mind the "significance of creating this work now". "In the case of a series like "Kamen Rider," each work has its own distinct era, and without that, the series would be stuck in a rut. "Kamen Rider Saber" was created based on the idea of "living in the world of the Corona disaster" in the era of "harmony". While the challenges it faced were many, the light it found in this situation was surprisingly large. In the same way that the technology of real-time synthesis was introduced in the face of the difficulty of location, the Xross Saber shown in this special edition is one of the answers that the production team, which has been working on the series since the Showa and Heisei eras, has arrived at. Changing times mean changing values. Kamen Rider will always continue to change with the times. [Right text] Xross Saber has the power of ten holy swords, so it is written in the European language as "XROSS" instead of "CROSS". While the body shape is identical to that of the Brave Dragon, it features a galaxy graphic on the protector, which is a different staging concept from the so-called "all-inclusive" Heisei Kamen Rider. The starry sky in this graphic is all hand-drawn, including the stars in the crosshairs. The suit, including the base suit, was newly molded, and a form-change suit was prepared as well as a dual-use up/action suit. [Left text] One of the features of Xross Saber is its yellowed right hand. This treatment makes the blue body and the right arm with the red sword stand out. The fingertips are covered with rare metal particles that are highly conductive. |

I mean I guess not in a literal sense? I'm stretching, but Riders working together in face of a disaster and going only when they really need to is something I can kinda kinda see.

I believe that statement as much as I believe all the marketing calling 01 an ushering of a new era. Which is to say not at all.

But how would you explain Tassel/Viktor's counterpart finding Wonder World, plus how Storious, Legeiel & Zooous became the Megid!?

About Haouken The "legendary sword that leads the story to its end," passed down through the family of Tetsuo Daishinji, contains the power of ten holy swords, including the Kaenken Rekka. The prop for close-up is approximately 110cm in length. The gimmick of moving the circle [Great Cirxross] of the sword's [Haouken Xross Saber Emblem] is shaped so that it slides but stays in any position by installing magnets in the sword body. About Featuring and Crimson The three Wonder Ride books of Storm Eagle and Saiyuu Journey, that were returned to Brave Dragon and Kamiyama Touma (played by Shuichiro Naito), are set on the Seiken Swordriver and transformed into the "three gorgeous books" by drawing the Haouken Xross Saber. There is no Storm Eagle or Saiyuu Journey design on the mask, and the body is the same as Crimson Dragon. The body has the same details as Crimson Dragon. It's a three-volume special edition of the Brave Dragon, Lion Senki, and Lamp Do Alangina Wonder Ride Books loaded into the Seiken Swordriver which contains the Haouken Xross Saber. About Tategami An enhanced form of Kamen Rider Blades transformed using the Tategami Hyoujuu Senki Wonder Ride Book. Since his entire body is covered in white, the mask and suit, including the base suit, have been newly sculpted. There have been many characters with manes, but this Tatagami Hyoujuu Senki suit goes one step further and expresses the Tatagami Blazer (the mane) by collecting teardrop-like lumps. It is said that the hair cannot be brushed or otherwise cared for in any way. |

I do think Tategami's mane is very cool, though I do wonder/worry about how it may look after a few years, since it seems like it'd be a hassle to properly maintain.

It's pretty natural all that would be on the minds of the people making Saber, and they have been mentioning stuff along those lines since the show began. For instance, the page for the first episode on Kamen Rider Web where the producer outright says that "I decide how the story ends!" is as much a summation of their determination to make the show as it is Touma's determination to save people. There's definitely plenty of things about the production that were naturally influenced by all this, too, like the heavy use of green-screen backgrounds, and I vaguely recall seeing news articles around the announcement saying stuff along the lines of the initial concept of Kamen Riders saving people who have been literally boxed off from their everyday lives is ~maybe~ taking a page from recent events. So, Kamen Rider Saber isn't about the pandemic, but it also isn't not about it.

This is an adaptation we're talking about. Forget all those characters, all that matters is the monster suits. Just say they crawled out of a crack or something and let everything else sort themselves out (worked for My Little Pony).
