Even in the Showa era, it was hard for them to do a genuinely solo year long series. Although it wasn't originally intended, the first show ended up with two Riders. They don't team up all that many times, but the transitions between them were used as points where the show reinvented itself, and towards the ending the team ups happen exactly in the most relevant episodes (Shocker Rider, finale). V3's most interesting episodes are when Riderman appears in the last fourth of the series. X and Amazon didn't come close to a year long run. X had the other Riders referenced even before they appeared later on. Amazon was rather short, and split into two arcs with unrelated enemy factions in spite of that. Stronger had Tackle, and later the previous Riders, and also didn't have a year long run, although it was closer to that than its two predecessors.

Skyrider only found success when the previous Riders returned and started appearing in many episodes throughout its run. Super 1 remained with a solo hero all the way through, and yet it's likely the worst Showa Rider series since they had to use other means of attempting to make the show stand out which just hurt it, like the return of the Rider Scouts. Its failure killed tv Rider for years. Black is mostly remembered due to the 2nd half of the show, with Shadowmoon, and even the 1st half's main running plotline was just building up to him. The closest thing to a successful year long solo series is probably Black RX, but even that has two episodes with Shadowmoon and the previous Riders in the last 7 episodes.

Really, what happened to Super-1 seems to be exactly the product of that kind of stubborn attitude - "Rider must be a solo hero!"

Since I saw someone mention it before, I figured I'd chime in and say I'm the one running the Ex-Aid news blog on Tumblr - it appears to be missing 'cause I renamed it from RescueRiderNews to GashaRiderNews in light of the trademark. But now, seeing speculation that those could be Ganbarizing names, I feel afraid I might have to change it again haha. We'll see.

In any case, I'm always excited for what a new year of Rider brings. There hasn't been a show yet since W's debut that has been a downer for me, at worst something (like Ghost) will initially make me go "This is gonna be a weiiirrd yeeeear~" but I end up having fun for the most part. So a possible gaming theme? That only means the blog may be more active~

Incidentally, I may be lurking this thread - or the proper news/rumor thread for Ex-Aid - for the sake of the blog. I give credit to posts that share news, of course.

In other words it will happen when we become old.

Hmm that is true i guess that explain why too many heisei rider have multiple riders over the years though the failed ones will turn into cult classics still however maybe one more heisei rider with a lone rider would do but only with less episodes just to be safe and just to air it on amazon prime only since television is not ready for this custom.

So a possible gaming theme?

Mmm maybe though it will be electronic themed i mean megaranger (the source material for classic power rangers last : In space) has the theme of gaming and electronix perhaps ex-aid will not only be gaming but electronics and computers as well though electronic kinda reminds me of cyborgs because they are electronic.

A virtual world, then? That sounds like an idea they might have toyed with for a while. Are light novels like that really that popular? I'm currently watching Overlord, an anime series based on a light novel series of the same name. I can see why they're appealing.

You're living in an outdated business model. No way would it fly with todays kids and attention spans shortening.

I find that kid's attention spans are seriously underestimated. There are things they might not pick up (and even here I'm over-generalizing) but they are able to sit through more than they're given credit for.

It's no longer a JDrama with scifi themes like Kuuga to Kabuto.

It's always been heavy on the "JDrama" aspect. From the very beginning. It's one of the things that has prevailed for 45 years. And I'd say there's been many series with scifi themes after Kabuto.

The reason some of those shows "failed" was not because the Riders were going solo, though. I think you and several here know them already so I won't list them for now. The first series did not introduce the Double Riders team-ups to make up for only having one protagonist, though. They did so because they intended for Hongo to return and later because Ichimonji was missed by audiences. A second Rider was not supposed to happen either, but as you know, if it had been like that we probably wouldn't be having this conversation.

You know it's not a bad idea i was thinking of having a rider fight against his evil opponent (monster that is ) in a different landscape just to prevent civilians from getting hurt.So i think it will be used for that series.

You might think the lone cyborg rider concept won't work but i believe it will work i am sure but for now i think it could be used for a web series aimed for older audience.

Good point so i think what the heisei rider series needs is to go back to the solo rider route for one series only just like kuuga did but with less episodes just to be safe.

Personally I want a good Rider show again. I didn't like Drive and I drop Ghost early on. Please give me a good Rider show with strong writing again like Gaim did.

Whether you believe it will work or not doesn't matter. The only people whose opinion matters is Toei's and Bandai's. Period.

While Kuuga was successful with the lone Rider idea, that was 16 years ago. Today one Rider alone can't carry the show by himself. Especially when the 2nd Rider acts as a counterpoint to the main one. Like Amazons for example, had two Riders that challenged each other on their beliefs.
