Despite all the problems and actual plot-holes that Den-O has had. He has done the best job in adding its movie into its continuity than any other Heisei Rider series :laugh:
All Riders vs. Dai-Shocker, Movie War 2010, A to Z, cannot come close to I m Born in terms on continuity :castlerock:
yeah, that movie was so canon that I actually knew that i needed to watch the movie to find out what was going to happen in the story without having to look anything up lol
also, if not for
Ore, Tanjo!, then the OOO movie probably wouldn't have got their idea to put all OOO combos in one battle scene
but besides that, I can't name very many problems with Den-O and I don't think I paid any attention to any plot holes that there may have been, but then again, I'm probably the biggest fan of Den-O on the forum

on a separate note, with W, OOO, and now Fourze, I've noticed that this time in KR history which I like to call the 2nd Heisei Decade(decade as in 10 years, not Decade the rider), Toei has set up several traditions that have been followed through, and may well be through the rest of this decade. I can even list them:
-The series title is officially romanized as "Kamen Rider" rather than "Masked Rider"
-An over-arching gimmick for the entire series
-The series debuting in September rather than febuary(though Decade's shorter episode count caused this, not for the worse, mind you)
-A main rider who uses said gimmick in a numerical amount that increases by 1 each year and has a name related to that number
-A theme song with a female singer, something that, before W, had onlt happened with Ryuki and Blade
-Villains who use tech similar to that of the riders
-All riders use Henshin Belts that are referred to as "Drivers", a revival of term first used in Faiz(though this partially got it's start with Decade, but one should remember that DiEnd used a gun instead of a belt and there were many returning riders)
-The riders have small transforming robotic helpers used for tasks like communication and reconaissance
-a team-up movie with the past year's rider entitled a "Movie War"
-The next year's rider making his on-screen debut in the summer movie(also started by Decade, but that series was the end of the 1st decade and lead the way to the start of the 2nd)
I mention these because the first 10 Heisei series didn't have much in terms of traditions that connected them all together. the closest they got were a summer movie and at least one secondary rider, both of which started with Agito, and because of Hibiki, not even Henshin Belts and Rider Machines could connect them all
nobody knows for sure if these traditions will fully persist, but these things 3 years in a row does lead one to suspect that Toei may be trying to make Kamen Rider more standardized and streamlined
