And yet if Kento Handa is confirmed, how else would you explain it? Where's the logic if there is no disconnect?
Again, if some of the Riders return then you have to assume the rest fell out of negotiations or they just didn't want to come back. Why is it so shocking that an actor might
not want to return to Kamen Rider? Not every actor is rip roaring to return to what made them famous in the first place.

This was the image that accompanied the confirmation, but course, I cannot read Japanese, so I'll leave it up to some with knowledge of the language. If it's not a confirmation, then we're mostly in the dark as to if any of the older actors will return.
