At least it's not in english. I'd wager the majority of users have no idea what that says.

To be fair it's really vague in Japanese too

The original Kamen Rider series aired for 98 episodes.

But yes, it's the longest series in recent years.

It's the definitely the longest Heisei Rider series and I'm quite glad about that too because I've been really enjoying it. And yeah, no need to cover up the titles. I feel I'm saying the obvious here but on a sub group site, most of us are probably coming here because we don't speak Japanese.

I'm interested to see where they go with the last six episodes though. I'm wagering the last four will be one continuous arc rather than the biweekly regular.

Edit: Just checked, this makes Wizard the third longest running KR series behind Kamen Rider (98 episodes) and Kamen Rider Skyrider (54 episodes).

Presumably because they were using the Monster of the Week formula until the end of last weeks episode, they need those extra episodes to do the endgame.

Also, I assume tied with this weeks hiatus, they are attempting to shift the start date of Rider Series for better toy placement close to Christmas as well.

True, just felt better being on the safe side.

Also, they're listed as episodes but 52-53 are just Heisei Rider specials; the main story could leak into them but, I personally don't see it happening.

I would cry if that happened.

So 52-53 is like W's 49 where they revert the plot from the previous five episodes?
