* Magic typically uses the [[FourElementEnsemble base elements]] in performing a spell. Mayu's Mage form is yellow, for Earth as hinted by her Gravity Ring. Yuzuru's is blue, likely Water. Finally Yamato's is green, probably Air. Fueki represents Space, an element [[ElementNumberFive above the normal ones]], so where's his representative for Fire? His first project, Haruto. This also explains why he doesn't want him using the Infinity Ring, it not only rivals his own power, it may be non-elemental and thus cannot be controlled by him. As for Nitoh, his powers revolve from animals, not elements, a much more unpredictable source, hence Fueki was right, he has no use for Nitoh or his powers.

* Beast managing to hurt the MonsterOfTheWeek in episode 33 after rolling a one on his Dice Saber, something that normally leads to EpicFail, is brilliant for two reasons. Firstly, he was fighting [[ThePowerOfFriendship for his friend]], and secondly, it was the [[RuleOfThree third]] time this had happened.
* Gryphon, Beast's signature Plamonster, is part-lion, part-eagle, keeping with Beast's motifs of lions and animals fused into one monster as well as the PlaMonsters colors not matching their elemental affiliation.

** Another possibility is that the reason Kouta wasn't tied to the cross was because he lacked a MidSeasonUpgrade and SuperMode at the moment he was summoned - all the other riders were appearing after their season had ended and gained their final forms. Haruto should consider himself lucky that he summoned Kouta so early in the latter's story.

* While Amadum beat up the other Kamen Riders due to their connection to the Cross Of Fire, Kouta easily beats him... but he's also tied to the Cross, right? Well, not really. While his powers are tied to Helheim, his actual Driver was born from human scientists. All the other Drivers have some mystical or scientific origin, and if they were also by human hands, they'd heavily tap into a power source which is the true source of the Cross of Fire. The Sengoku Drivers, on the other hand, is the opposite. They also are made by human hands, but the only power of Helheim they tap into is converting the fruits into Lockseeds, something that has been established as filtering Helheim's power rather than amplifying it like in some cases with the other Riders. Everything else, like the Lockseeds, were made by humans.
