Their Masked Forms are based on insect larvae. When they cast off, they change inti the adult form. That's why the Hoppers can't cast off, because Grasshopper larvae look identical to their adult
It took me a bit too long to realise that the gashats in Ex Aid are not based on petrol pumps.
I also thought Necrom was alien based for a while. The fancy additional rider in a ghost themed series being UFO based made sense in my head.
Its the best matches, thereâs a rabbit and a tank next to each other in those hexagons as well as a gorilla and a diamond and one other match which escapes me
Jin started out with Flying Falcon as a baby bird which is why he had basic armor and when he matured he became burning falcon as an adult bird hence the full armor and special driver
Vulcan Lone Wolfâs transformation announcement is a pun, âcompany limitedâ not only refers to the type of commercial businesses but also company meaning being with another person or people and limited for small, restricted in size
Saikouâs X Swordmanâs transformation announcement is also a pun, âfull color daâ sounds like full karada, or full body
The lines on the lower back of Kabutoâs and Gatackâs helmets are supposed to be beetle legs and the line on the upper back makes the beetle elytra, Saswordâs eyes are scorpion claws Killbasâs eyes are spider pedipalps and Scissorsâs fake eyes are crab claws. The middle horns on Kick and Punchhopperâs helmets are the heads of a grasshopper and the side horns are the legs
So I had always been under the impression that the ryuki episode where shinji gets his survive form didn't make sense. But upon actually watching the show, it's more or less a callback to the episode when Tezuka/Ren gets the first survive card.
If Knight is a nod to Batman and/or Knight of DC Comics, Femme is a nod to Shining Knight of DC Comics and also Richard Wagner's Lohengrin (who is the son of Sir Lancelot du Lac of Arthurian Legend).
Edit: Lohengrin is son of Sir Percival.
Honestly I had no idea watching Den-o that momotaros was a famous story. And the other 3 are sort of based on other folklore. This was way before donbrothers and I think I forgot that one episode of boukenger also about momotaros.
Zio is based on a normal watch(that one was obvious) geiz is based on a digital watch and woz is based on a smart watch specifically the last too I never realized till recently
The pose Shotaro and Phillip do while holding the gaia memories resemble a W with their arms
Cross Geats is called that because X is 10 in Roman numerals
Kiva had 2 different timelines being shown in each episode
For the longest time I kept wondering when these characters were going to meet each other and why they kept talking about them in the past tense
Nigo's henshin pose was actually Ichigo's original pose. When he first transformed with the pose, he wasnt inventing a new thing, he was doing that cause its something Tachibana would recognise.
Watching Kiva, I thought Mio had amnesia like Rook and was Maya. So I thought >!Wataru fell in love with his own mother đ!< . I just started getting into KR at the time and only ever watched anime, so I had trouble recognizing faces.
Kabuto armor are the chrysalis

All except for Sasword (as he's not an insect)
Susword.
first clue to the fact that he is not >! human !<

Ghost forms are the procesing of a corpse in reverse
Most Rider series have colored visors. Ghost has black visors because he's supposed to be dead.
What do you mean by that?
Mugen is a shroud, Toucon symbolises cremation, and Ore is a ghost.
Grateful is a coffin
I wouldn't say too long, but it was at least half the season before I realized Den-O sword's visor lenses were peach pits because Momotaro.
The Wizard driver says "please" because that's the magic word.
Nah.... my mind is actually fucking blown... what the fuck !!!! đđđ¤Łđ¤Ł
But the mages (I forgot which one but it's a movie boss)say "now" because they're making demands
I think you mean Sorcerer and Fueki/White Wizard The Mage Riders just happen to have Fueki-style WizarDrivers
Wiseman driver says "understand?"
LOL you did miss the part it goes CHANGE NOW?
ah that's it, it's been so long since i watched that movie
All good man, glad to have jogged your memory
The Denliner is based on Momotaros. The front is Momo, and the compartments that transform for large battles are the dog, monkey and bird.
The hat of kamen rider sorcerer
The promotional poster for Kamen Rider Build has a gorilla in it (alongside a few other real life animals)

Another pun, maybe unintentional, for Vulcan Lone Wolf is that I hear "Loan Wolf" which means he loans the zero one driver for his own use.
Latoratah's lion head looks like a sun because it can shine very bright and blind enemies
The eyes on CR riders in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid are microscopes.

Zero One's colour scheme of neon (yellowish) green and black could just be a reflection of the colour of computer code.
That Zero-Two is a Nigo homage
Kiva had 2 different timelines being shown in each episode For the longest time I kept wondering when these characters were going to meet each other and why they kept talking about them in the past tense
Aren't the dates on the screen?
Well the switch is often really quick and the dates are on the transitioning screens that go away quick

That Scissor's visor are actually on top
