*Insert Kaixa smile here*

Curious to see how this is gonna go. Zi-O's time travel schenanigans aside, Takumi is canonically dead. The last time we saw him was in the Kamen Rider Yongou special, where he died.

But where's Kaixa 20 years later?

Plus I see a horse, so how are they going to deal with that actor's tragic death as well

2024? We're barely one-third of the way through 2023!

I honestly wish they didn't announce these things so far in advance.

That said what is going on with Toei? We have this, the DC for DonBros last episode. Shin Kamen RIder is in theaters at the end of month. SHinobi and Ninja and Punk Jack. Think another Outsiders is going on? Is Toei's new game plan just doing everything everywhere all at once?

I'd like to think that's non-canonical though
Not solely because of Takumi, but that's there

It's a lot of content in production, which generally speaking is a good thing. But it does come off as a bit scattershot.

I've kind of lost track of stuff Toei's doing this past few years, particularly when it comes to Rider. This week I marathoned the last quarter of Revice I didn't watch last year, and I couldn't keep track of the random specials. My friend got into Rider a while ago, and I was having to write him guides as to what movies and specials to watch when.

Movie's out, I've just watched it.

Spoiler

I really liked it. Glad that Kusaka being mysteriously alive again actually comes up as an important point, and isn't just shrugged off, and glad we finally got proper Faiz at the end. Kind of wish they hadn't destroyed the Kaixa Gear though. Now that Mari is an Orphenoch, she could become Kaixa (or Faiz) safely.

Don't really like they retconned Kamen Rider Yongou out of existence, since the last non Zi-O time we saw Takumi, he was dead. But it's to be expected I suppose. Donbrothers showed us Inoue doesn't like using other people's plots.

Oh, and Takaiwa cameo in the ramen shop.

Wasn't that non-canon to begin with? Since it was directly connected to a Taisen movie...

Well no. Because the whole point of Kamen Rider Yongou was that it explained all the plot inconsistencies in the Super Hero Taisen movies.
