** [[spoiler:Yuuya never used a Sengoku Driver,]] though I'm not sure if that's better, or exponentially ''worse.''

* Why did [[spoiler: Hase immediately turn into a berserker Invess (the Bixie Invess) after eating only a single fruit and not go to an elementary Invess stage first? Because he is already "eating" the Helheim friuts whenever he uses the Sengoku Driver and the lockseeds to transform into Kurokage. Yes folks, the riders and the Invess are practically the same in that they both feed on the Helheim fruits.]]

* Nobunaga representing Series/KamenRiderOOO in the Sengoku world makes a lot of sense. Beyond the basic connection of Nobunaga being in OOO, the show's major theme was desire, something that Nobunaga was all about.

* Kurokage looking like a foot soldier serves for foreshadowing, as [[spoiler:Kurokage is demoted to being {{mook}}s for Yggdrasil]].

* Kurokage, Bravo and Baron Mango Arms don't fit this pattern though.

* Calling them "Armored Riders" isn't merely NotUsingTheZWord, but intended as a grab-all term for the Rider designs' obvious inspiration, ''armored'' warriors throughout world history (samurai for Gaim and Zangetsu, Warring States footsoldier for Kurokage, knights for Baron, Chinese generals for Ryugen, Roman gladiators for Bravo and so on.)

* If you look at Baron's dance style Kaito is in the center pretty much moving the group around him. Says a lot about him compared to Gaim's dancing which seems more carefree and group oriented.

* If you look closely, the Nut Riders don't have a little splash when their transformation is complete. It's easier to notice when they transform alongside the Fruit Riders. Why is that? Because nuts don't have ''juice''.

* Why does DJ Sagara have a copy of the Rider's Lock Seeds? [[spoiler:Being allied with Kamen Rider Zangetsu gives you a hint.]]

* It makes sense that [[spoiler: Takatora would initially have the Watermelon Lockseed in his possession. He already has the basic Melon Lockseed, so he may as well keep the theme going. That and he had an army of Watermelon Lockseed-using Riders in the first episode.]]

** Gaim ''does'' continue the number theme this year, though like Wizard's five fingers and elemental forms it's much more subtle: an open padlock, in silhouette, bears a resemblance to a stylized number 6. In addition, Gaim's and Baron's main forms are Orange and Banana Arms respectively, each fruit name containing six letters.

** Gaim starts with the capital letter G, which looks like the number 6.
** Yggdrasil passed out a total 6 Sengoku Drivers to the Beat Rider teams.

* All of the Arms that use sword-based weapons are based on fruits/nuts that require knives to cut, while Arms that use blunt objects are based on fruits/nuts that require some force to open.

** Read 'Lock Seed' in Japanese. Notice that 'lock' is pronounced as 'roku'. The japanese for number six is 'roku'.

* Kurokage and Gridon still have a fruit motif in the fact that they still have a seed in them. Just that they're not fruit that humans eat regularly. It makes sense that the nut-based Riders would be the CoDragons of a fruit-based Rider then. [[spoiler:Well, at first]].
