History Trivia / KamenRiderWizard

* IKnewIt: Due to a formula beginning to form with the previous Kamen Riders, many people began to guess at some tried and true theories and got this trope in return.
** [[spoiler: White Wizard being Wiseman? Many so called it.]]
** [[spoiler: Koyomi being the Macguffin Girl that everyone's after? A lot of people called it. Her dying prior to the finale? Most people called it. Her being revived? ...Actually disproved, to their surprise.]]

* TheWikiRule: Covered as part of [[http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/ Kamen Rider Wiki]], and as an individual series on the [[http://kamenriderwizard.wikia.com/wiki/ Kamen Rider Wizard Wiki]].
* WordOfGay: The actress playing the Donut Shop Owner saw the character as an M to F Transgender.

* TheWikiRule: Covered as part of [[http://kamenrider.wikia.com/wiki/ Kamen Rider Wiki]], and as an individual series on the [[http://kamenriderwizard.wikia.com/wiki/ Kamen Rider Wizard Wiki]].

* FanNickname:
** "Kamen Rider [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar]]". Due to the fact that the main Rider can use all four elements.
** "Equitem Persona Wizard Magica"[[note]]"Equitem Persona" means "Kamen Rider" in Latin[[/note]], for being the ''Kamen Rider'' version of ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''.

* ExecutiveMeddling: On Twitter, writer Sho Aikawa explained that Masahiro Inoue's cameo in the post-script episodes was this, after a fashion. The staff wanted to bring back at least one veteran Rider as part of the Heisei-era celebration, but the producer said it would be pointless unless they could get "the first" (Joe Odagiri, the original [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga Kuuga]]) or "the last" (Sota Fukushi, [[Series/KamenRiderFourze Fourze]]); then, almost as an afterthought, he added "Or it could be [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Decade]]".

** [[spoiler: Koyomi being the Macguffin Girl that everyone's after? A lot of people called it. Her dying prior to the finale? Most people called it. Her being revived? ...Actually {{jossed}}, to their surprise.]]

* ActorAllusion:
** In the Hyper Battle DVD, the donut shop manager's big wish is to helm a dance crew. He's played by Kaba-chan, who's actually handled dance choreography before, such as the dance used in the music video for "Forest of Rocks", ''Movie Wars Ultimatum''[='s=] theme song.
** Yamamoto from #46-47 was previously [[Series/KamenRiderHibiki Todoroki]], whose actual surname was Toda''yama'' [[spoiler:And his Mage form is accented with green just like Todoroki]]!
** Net Movie #24 has Koyomi dress up as a flight attendant. Her actor, Okunaka Makoto, is part of a idol group called PASSPO☆, whose theme is that of flight attendants.
** Also from the Net Movies, Creator/TetsuInada gets to voice Series/KamenRider Ichigo [[Series/KamenRiderDecade again]], only this time they're in a Showa Riders PD and Ichigo is DaChief, who's also known as... [[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger Boss]].
*** There's also a supposed porn DVD cover with Hachi-Onna on it. It's not the same actress, but Hachi-Onna ''was'' once played by Nao Oikawa, who really used to be in porn.
** In ''Wizard in Magic Land'', the captain of the guard's Mage costume has a red cape; this isn't the first time Ryuji Sainei has played [[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger a leader in red]]...

* {{Tuckerization}}: #10 involves this kid named Naoki, not only a potential Gate but knows Kizaki personally. Kizaki is played by a ''Naoki'' Kawano.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Medusa almost was played by Hikari Kajiwara, who previously starred in ''Series/KamenRiderBlade'' as Amane Kurihara (and cameoed in ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'' as [[MonsterOfTheWeek the Altar Zodiarts, Ritsuko Usaka]]), but for unknown reasons, the role went to Erina Nakayama.

* NoExportForYou: Strangely averted (at least in the US and Canada), since despite the fact that it's rather divisive amongst Western fans, it became the first Heisei-era series to air on US TV, [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2017/04/19-1/kamen-rider-wizard-to-run-on-american-premium-tv-network airing on the premium channel TV Japan]][[note]]although if one was to count American ''adaptations'', that honor would go to ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'', which aired as ''Series/KamenRiderDragonKnight''[[/note]].

* HeyItsThatGuy: [[Anime/HellGirl Wanyuudo]] is Shigeru!
** Looks like [[Series/JukenSentaiGekiranger Long]] went from [[Series/KamenRiderDouble wannabe film maker]] to national security.
** [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Airi]]'s become a FemmeFatale-esque swindler!
*** And one of her quarries is [[Series/ChouSeiKantaiSazerX Lio-Sazer]]!
** [[Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder Mr O'Shaughnessy]] is back again... [[ActorAllusion in another role that involves food.]]
** Somewhere along the line, [[Series/ChouSeiShinGransazer Professor Horiguchi]] became a fortune-teller, fell into despair and became Manticore.
** It's no wonder the Legion Phantom kicked Wizard around so badly; he's already fought Kamen Riders twice before (as [[Series/KamenRiderHibiki Douji]] and [[Series/KamenRiderKiva Bishop]]) so he already knows all their tricks.
** Rinko previously appeared as the Mantis Imagin's contractor in ''[[Series/KamenRiderDenO Chou Den-O Trilogy: Episode Blue]]''.
** Yamamoto [[spoiler: the green Mage]] was [[Series/KamenRiderHibiki Todoroki]] and his pregnant wife was Usagi from ''Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon''.

* HeyItsThatVoice: [[Creator/RyuzaburoOtomo Crocodile]] is [=WizarDragon=].
** [[HiroakiHirata The Narrator]] of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'' is...well, TheNarrator.
** [[Creator/ToshioFurukawa Ashura]] is Wiseman[[spoiler:'s first voice]].
** Friggin' ''[[TomomichiNishimura Coach Anzai]], [[Series/EngineSentaiGoOnger Engine Jumbowhale]], [[Anime/FreshPrettyCure Moebius]] and [[Anime/SmilePrettyCure Reika's grandpa]]'' is [=BeastChimera=].
*** Interestingly, both Dragon and Chimera voiced [[Franchise/{{Digimon}} Cherubimon]] at one point.

* DevelopmentGag: Amadam also says the Riders have the power of something called the "Cross of Fire". "Cross Fire" was the original name of the concept that would become ''Kamen Rider''.
