** Who is the narrator? [[Nobuyuki Hiyama]]! Between [[Tomokazu Seki]] narrating ''Gokaiger'' and him, its going to be a very [[Hot Blooded]] block, just from the narrators.

** For the movie crossover with [[Kamen Rider OOO|OOO]], we'll be getting a female rider! And [[Kamen Rider (TV)|the]] [[Kamen Rider V 3|first]] [[Kamen Rider X|seven]] [[Kamen Rider Amazon|Kamen]] [[Kamen Rider Stronger|Riders]]! Return of [[Kamen Rider Double|Shotaro, Philip, and Foundation X]]!

*** A photo from the above movie set shows the Kamen Rider Club acknowledging their Showa Rider namesakes by {{spoiler|dressing up in ridiculous homemade outfits worthy of the [[Paper Thin Disguise|silly Mook outfits]] from ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]]'' and ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (TV)|Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]''}}, which makes it more of a "And The Fandom LOLed".

**** {{spoiler|If early rumors are to be believed, the returning Showa Riders may not be so much rejoicing since they get turned into Core Medals and Astro Switches and used by OOO and Fourze rather than having an impact on the film themselves. Getting used by OOO and Fourze, however, got them back into the action.}}

** It's too bad that aside from the movie, there won't be any other Kamen Rider Came--wait a minute, [[Kamen Rider Amazon|Amazon]] is going to take part in the Hyper Battle Video? YES!

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Tomoko Nozama, with her whole Creepy [[Goth]] shtick and [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Pinkie Pie]]-level randomness. The wait for her focus ep was ''agonising.'' Pre-empting the second part for a week didn't help.

* [[Fan Preferred Couple]]: Tomoko and Ryusei seems to be a pretty popular pairing after their story arc in #23-#24.

* [[Faux Symbolism]]: #27-28 has Cancer Zodiarts gaining the ability to pull ''halos'' out of people. It's implied that all humans have them, and they're vital to one's life, as it's their life essence given solid form.

** An early rumor claimed that the Sagittarius Zodiarts would have a [[Heel Face Turn]] and become the second rider. Come Episode #34, and it turns out {{spoiler|the [[Big Bad]] is the Sagittarius Zodiarts.}}

*** And then we did get a Horoscope (maybe two, actually) who weren't inherently evil. What happened to them? [[Laser Guided Amnesia]].

** having Stronger as the only one of the legendary seven fighting alone at the start of ''Movie wars Megamax'' is a little hard to watch when you remember something [[Stuffed Into the Fridge|about]] [[Author Existence Failure|him]].

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Two years before Fourze appeared ''[[Kamen Rider Decade]]'' ran a [[High School AU]] arc of ''[[Kamen Rider Faiz]]''. Now with Fourze's high school setting and more technological motif...

** The [[Monster of the Week|Zodiarts]] are humans using devices called "Zodiarts Switches" to give them their powers. Why does that sound similar to the monsters of another [[Kamen Rider Double|Kamen Rider]]?

** Oh, it's worse than that. He's the ''reason'' that this show has a [[Nightmare Fuel]] page, is scarier than the Big Bad and his lackeys AND some consider him scarier than ''Kamen Rider Shin''. What should that tell you about him?

* [[One Scene Wonder]]: More like two episode wonder. Hiroki Makise had garnered himself quite the attention despite only appearing for two episodes. Just look at all the [[Fridge Horror]] surrounding this guy! He's the entire reason why this show's [[Nightmare Fuel]] page was made! Makise is the go-to person in Kamen Rider history for messed up people. He was so popular it seemed, that he returned for a later arc, though ''rapidly'' toned down.

* [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: Looks to be the premise here. Usually, everyone listed down below were the Scrappy at one point, but then have a moment to readjust themselves. This is usually because they're the [[Victim of the Week]].

** Shun gets the same reputation in the early episodes. He's already a [[Jerk Jock]], has an obvious [[Its All About Me]] behavior, and his sheer ''rage'' towards Gentaro and co. simply existing around him pushes him to directly cockblock Fourze AS HE IS ABOUT TO DEAL THE FINISHING BLOW TO A RAMPAGING ZODIART. He gets some redemption toward the end of the following episode, though, when he confronts his [[Freudian Excuse]] and uses the Power Dizer to hold the Scorpion Zodiart off while Gentaro defeats the [[Monster of the Week]]. He's shown to be trying to become a better person afterward.

** Misa Toriizaki for what she did to {{spoiler|Eguchi. She gets cold on Eguchi even though the others praise for his good deeds in #24, and then ''forces Eguchi to activate his switch that was on Last One'' for the sole purpose of making Cygnus emerge and forces the Ugly Ducklings to trap him so he wouldn't be free. Thankfully, [[The Dog Bites Back]], uses her as a [[Human Shield]], and [[Break the Haughty|breaks her so hard]] that she [[My God What Have I Done|realizes that leading a cult is a bad idea]], and thus disbands it.}}

** Ohsugi-sensei can slowly become one in #29. His reasons for hating Gentaro? ''Because he made Sonoda-sensei leave'' (he didn't). He relentless pursues Gentaro, Kengo, Yuki and Ryuusei and {{spoiler|finds out about the Rabbit Hatch. He confiscates the Net Switch and ''threatens to destroy the KRC!''}}

** Yuki Jojima for some. The only times Ohsugi-sensei gets in the way of the KRC is all because of her. The reason the locker was lost in #11-#12? She gave a giant lie about the locker belonging to Sonoda-sensei. {{spoiler|The reason that Ohsugi-sensei knew about the Rabbit Hatch? ''Because she was too fucking stupid to SHUT UP!''}}
