* The [[FinishingMove rider kick]] in Flame Style bears some similarity to the [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Crimson Smash]].

Added DiffLines:

* Wizard's forms are nearly similar to Series/KamenRiderKuuga. With some having the same color scheme and having upgrade version of their standard form. It helps that the guy who gave him the [=WizarDriver=] has a white/gold motif with an orange visor, similar to Kuuga's Growing Form.
* His mask is even reminiscent of Kuuga's logo.
* Wizard's origin being somehow related to a [[Series/KamenRiderBlack solar eclipse]].
* The [[FinishingMove rider kick]] in Flame Style bears some similarity to the [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Crimson Smash]].
** Untransformed, Haruto does a [[Series/KamenRider classic]] version of the Rider Kick in #16.
* His flying through three circles also makes it very much like a ''Series/KamenRiderOOO'' finisher.
** Water Dragon style's finisher is rather similar to Putotyra's finisher, what with freezing the enemy and smashing them with a giant tail.
* Also, the catchphrase "It's showtime" similar with the ''Series/KamenRiderDecade'' version of [[Series/KamenRiderFaiz Psyga]] (though he said it in GratuitousEnglish, as the original Psyga spoke only English.)
* The transformation scene is reminiscent to the three Kamen Riders that are present in ''Series/KamenRiderBlade'' (the "Turn Up System" of Blade and Garren for Wizard, and the "Open Up System" of Leangle and the Missing Ace Riders for Beast).
* The use of the Rider Machine with a kick finisher is similar to a finisher [[Series/KamenRiderKabuto Gatack]] did.
** Wizard's weapon in gun mode has a similar firing sound to a [[Series/KamenRiderFourze certain Hi-Hack Gun we've seen in action before]].
** Combine Land Style with the Kick Strike and Drill Rings, and it looks just like Fourze's Drill Switch.
* Several to Faiz (apart from the obvious number "5" motif):
** Kick Strike's actual kick (after all the fanciful flips and at the point of crashing down) resembles the Crimson Smash. It even ends the same way: Kick through energy (Triple Rings for Wizard, Large energy cone for Faiz), appear on the other side, pose, and the Rider's sign appears.
** All mobile phones used thus far are flip phones, just like Faiz's.
** Both Riders' powers can only be used if they are biologically similar to their enemies.
* Beast consuming mana has the exact same sound as OOO [=PuToTyra=]'s Medagabryu consuming cell medals.
* Beast ''in general.'' Powered by a BondCreature that must be fed MonsterOfTheWeek energies lest you find yourself on the menu? [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki You don't say]].
* Beast's origin also mimics Kuuga in that he found the belt in an archaeological dig.
* In #24, when Wizard was fighting Weretiger, Wizard dodges an attack from the Phantom, which destroys a certain statue of a hand holding a football, then Weretiger throws the statue remains at Wizard, who slashed it apart. The statue greatly resembles the one in Series/KamenRiderFourze that was made as a symbol of pride in Amanogawa High School (and destroyed by Shun in the Powerdizer). Guess they did Amanogawa High a favor.
* Episode #26, which takes place at a high school, has a ''Fourze''-style title, consisting of four symbols.
* Spriggan Phantom from #28-29 is not only [[Series/KamenRiderDouble two-colored down the middle, and uses a sword and shield but he will count up your... errors in judgement.]]
* Wizardragon [[spoiler: turning into the Axcalibur for Infinity States]] evokes [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Zeronos' Zero Form or New Den-O]].
* One of the Phantoms' secret meeting places has [[Series/KamenRiderOOO huge colored cloths draped all over.]]
* One of the protagonist's female friends is related to the BigBad, whose actions in his desire to save her kick-starts the entire series' plot. [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Sound familiar]]?
** The major difference is that [[spoiler:while the BigBad is unable to accept the death, it's the hero that accepts it]].
* The villain of episodes #52-3 (the {{Crossover}} with the other Heisei Riders) is named Amadam, which is the name of the stone that powers Series/KamenRiderKuuga's TransformationTrinket.
** He also dresses as Shirou from ''Saraba Series/KamenRiderDenO [[NonSerialMovie The Movie: Final Countdown]]'', Gara from ''Series/KamenRiderOOO [[NonSerialMovie Wonderful: The Shogun and the 21 Core Medals]]'', Super Douji from ''Series/KamenRiderHibiki'', Mimihiko from ''Cho Series/KamenRiderDeno & [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Decade]] [[{{Crossover}} Neo Generations: The Onigashima Warship]]'' and Gaoh from ''Series/KamenRiderDenO: [[NonSerialMovie I'm Born!]]''.
