Line #24 Trivia/KamenRiderWizard


1	* DevelopmentGag: Amadam describes the Riders' PhlebotinumRebel nature using the term "Cross of Fire". "Cross Fire" was the original name of the concept that would become ''Kamen Rider''.
2	* ExecutiveMeddling: On Twitter, writer Creator/ShoAikawa 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]]".
3	* NoExportForYou: Strangely averted (at least in the US and Canada), since despite the fact that it's rather divisive amongst Western fans, it [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2017/04/19-1/kamen-rider-wizard-to-run-on-american-premium-tv-network aired on the US 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]]. However...
4	** NoDubForYou: TV Japan doesn't dub their shows, and it didn't even have subtitles.
5	* RoleReprise: In the last two episodes, Masahiro Inoue as [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade]] and Creator/ToshihikoSeki as [[Series/KamenRiderDenO Momotaros/Den-O Sword Form]].
6	* [[PostScriptSeason Post-Script Episodes]]: ''Wizard'' has a total of 53 episodes, but the main plot is resolved in #51; after that is a two-part {{Crossover}} special where Haruto joins forces with [[Series/KamenRiderDecade Tsukasa Kadoya]] and the other Heisei Kamen Riders, with [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Gaim]] getting his EarlyBirdCameo.
7	* PropRecycling: One of the props the Weretiger Phantom smashes is [[Series/KamenRiderFourze the Shun Daimonji football statue.]]
8	** The Beelzebub Phantom is modified version of Phoenix's costume with the head of the [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga Gurongi Zu-Gooma-Gu]].
9	** The Phantom Arachne is a retooling of Beast's first on-screen Phantom, Manticore, and uses the same halberd used by his direct predecessor Sylphi.
10	* SerendipityWritesThePlot: Haruto's primarily [[ExtremityExtremist kick-based]] fighting style as Wizard was created because the studio feared that children would hurt themselves trying to punch while wearing the rings.
11	* ThrowItIn: For the last 2 episodes,the producers stated that if they couldn't get either the first Heisei era rider (Kuuga) or the previous (Fourze) back, it would be pointless to get another rider back. Then someone suggested getting Decade back instead, and that wound up being what happened.
12	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
13	** 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.
14	** Hacking the DX [=WizarDriver=] and White Wizard Driver revealed a number of Wizard Rings were ultimately were not produced. These include Barricade, Confuse (There is an unintelligible equivalent on White Wizardriver), Control, Dark, Delicious, Ear (same for both versions), Eye, Flash, Gamble (Surprise), Happy Birthday, High Speed (Rush; there is however a Rush sound on the regular Wizardriver), Invisible (exclusive to White Wizard; Equivalent to Clear which has no toy and is thus inaccessible), Knock, Note, Perfume (Aroma), Poison, Psychokinesis (same for both versions), Seal (There is an unintelligible version on White Wizardriver) and Shut Up (Silent).
15	** In addition to these, the DX Wizardriver also has ''The Origin'' and ''The End'' sounds. The former is activated by scanning the DX Change, Explosion, or Final Strike Wizard Rings (and also the Mage (Amber, Blue, and Green ver.) and Sorcerer Change ring from the "Last Hope Ring Set" and "Wizard Ring Finale Set", respectively) on the DX Wizardriver or WizarSwordGun. The latter can be triggered via the Eclipse ring from the "Last Hope Ring Set".
16	* WordOfGay: The actress playing the Donut Shop Owner saw the character as an M to F Transgender.
