Line 3:
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: Okay, this seems a little silly looking...Hot damn! [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (Anime)|Kazuki Nakashima]] is the head writer? And Koichi Sakamoto (The ''[[Kamen Rider Double]]'' [[The Movie|movie]]) is directing?! Sign me up!
** The latter goes double for North American fans, since Sakamoto is a long-time ''[[Power Rangers]]'' veteran.
** 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".
Line 34:
** The ''MEGAMAX'' theme, "Samurai Strong Style".
* [[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.
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: Gentaro is noted to do anything in order to help out and befriend fellow students. This comes to ''really'' bite him in the ass when {{spoiler|he gets killed and willing allows himself to do so so that Ryuusei can be with Jiro again}}.
** ''Movie Wars MegaMax'' [[Kamen Rider V 3]] lost his family, including a younger sister - so they pit him against [[Kamen Rider W|Claydoll Dopant.]]
* [[Game Breaker]]: {{color|darkcyan|Cosmic}} States
* [[Genius Bonus]]: Beyond the basics with the common Zodiarts, there are a few more subtle ones. For example, the Altar Zodiart's staff is named "Aradia", which isn't just a play on Altar's constellation Ara, but is also the name of [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aradia |a figure commonly regarded as the Goddess of Pagans]].
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]:
** All those things about the Dopants in Kamen Rider W? Well, they come back here as people who used the switches are suffering from ''withdrawal''.
Line 49:
** 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...
** Fourze's belt's voice sounds quite a bit like a [[Doctor Who (TV)|Dalek]].
*** Or a [[Daft Punk (Music)|Daft Punk]] song.
** [[Tensou Sentai Goseiger|Landick Gosei Great's]] [[Finishing Move|Victory Charge]] was described as a drill Rider Kick...
Line 55:
*** Rider Rocket Drill Mega Space Kick seems to run on Spiral Power, for that matter.
** 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]]?
** So if Friendship is [[Hot -Blooded]], does that mean [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Gentaro will love and tolerate the shit out of you?]]
*** [[Funny Aneurysm Moment|Only if you're not a crazy guy like Makise]].
*** [[The Power of Friendship]] also allowed Fourze to activate more powerful functions of the Elec and Fire Switches...
Line 78:
** What's worse? {{spoiler|Those innocent people were the girls he stalked before he went after Yuki. There must've been around ''20'' girls that were in that bus (Miu being one of them). Now factor in on how he went giving Yuki all those letters, gifts, and voicemails...}} God, I feel chills down my spine...
** Misa Toriizaki gets one for {{spoiler|forcing Eguchi to become the Cygnus Zodiarts despite Eguchi knowing what would happen to him. Made worse when the Ugly Ducklings also go with it, chanting "Cygnus!" as Eguchi screams in terror and then those Ducklings start worshiping him. Oh ''and she gets away with this''!}}
** It will seem pretty hard for {{spoiler|Ryuusei}} to be likeable for effectively becoming the {{spoiler|[[Hero -Killer]] and causing some heartbreak in Kengo}}. '''Especially''' considering the other option he had. Even ''he'' believes he crossed it and tries to redeem himself. {{spoiler|He succeeds and even becomes Gentaro's friend}}.
* [[Most Wonderful Sound]]: The Switch-Activation voice for the Barizun Sword is a ''choir''.
* [[Narm]]: When the Aries Horoscopes is revealed to have evolved from...a Rabbit Zodiarts. [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepus_%28constellation%29:Lepus chr(28)constellationchr(29)|(Yes, there's one.)]] Not only is it never shown physically in the flashback, but the silhouette of a rabbit, bunny ears and all, is waddling in a [[Raving Rabbids (Video Game)|very distinct fashion.]]
* [[Narrowed It Down to The Guy I Recognize]]: So far we've had Masanori Mizuno (''[[Tomica Hero Rescue Fire]]'''s [[Sixth Ranger|R-5]]) as Toshiya Miura/Orion Zodiarts and Hikari Kajiwara (''[[Kamen Rider Blade]]'''s [[The Scrappy|Amane Kurihara]]) as Ritsuko Usaka/Altar Zodiarts. [[Averted Trope|On the other hand]], detention teacher Takashi Sakate was played by Satoshi Jinbo (''[[Kamen Rider Ryuki]]'''s Hideyuki Kagawa/Alternative Zero), and he wasn't a Zodiarts (though his son was). Then there are the unusual cases:
** Principal Kouhei Hayami is played by Kousei Amano (''[[Kamen Rider Blade]]'''s Sakuya Tachibana/Kamen Rider Garren), and in his first appearance he displays many of the same mannerisms as the Scorpio Zodiarts. {{spoiler|He's actually Libra.}}
