Ganbarizing is a KR game, I feel that it can be here

Added DiffLines:

* An internal one, but Decade Armor resembles the design of the player created Ganbarider from the ''Ganbarizing'' arcade game. Decade's card gimmick was made as a tie in to ''Ganbarizing'''s predecessor, ''Ganbaride'' and so Decade Armor carries on the spirit of its namesake.

* The three Riders in the ''Over Quartzer'' movie are homages to Heisei-but-not-Heisei Riders -- that is, series that aired in Japan's Heisei era, but aren't counted in the franchise's Heisei group. One is based on ''[[Series/KamenRiderBlackRX Black RX]]''; the second is a shared reference to ''[[Film/ShinKamenRiderPrologue Shin]]'', ''[[Film/KamenRiderZO ZO]]'', and ''[[Film/KamenRiderJ J]]''; and the third homages ''[[Series/KamenRiderAmazons Amazons]]''. The movie also features cameos from a variety of other works outside the main series, including the ''[[Series/KamenRiderGaim Kamen Rider Zangetsu]]'' stage show, ''[[Series/KamenRiderDrive Kamen Rider Brain]]'', ''[[Recap/KamenRiderExAidKamenSentaiGorider Kamen Sentai Gorider]]'', ''Film/KamenRiderG'', the [[Manga/KamenRiderKuuga manga version of Kuuga]], and even an unofficial parody ''Series/KamenNorider''!

* In a FreezeFrameBonus, [[CreepyDoll Dr. Maki's doll]] can be seen in the background of a few of Kuroto Dan's scenes during the OOO arc.

to:

* The horns on Another Fourze's head bring to mind Kamen Rider Specter. In fact, in ''Kamen Rider Ghost: Legendary! Riders' Souls!'', Specter uses the power of Fourze Damashii to destroy a resurrected Sagittarius Nova.
* Another OOO is transformed from '''King''' Kuroto Dan. The first and ''original'' OOO was a King in a distant country in European region.
* Another OOO has several to Kousei Kougami from the original OOO series.
** When he first obtained his powers, he called it "Magnificent[[note]]Subarashii[[/note]]", Kougami's CatchPhrase to describe the birth of a new development.
** His megacorporation Dan Foundation is one to Kougami's Kougami Foundation.
* In a FreezeFrameBonus, [[CreepyDoll Dr. Maki's doll]] can be seen in the background of a few of Kuroto Dan's scenes during the OOO arc.
* The three Another Zi-O's helmet design actually takes considerable inspiration from [[Series/KamenRider Kamen Riders 1, 2 and the Shocker Riders]], with a pair of red bug eyes behind the visor, a jagged mouthpiece, and the metal piece in the ''Over Quartzer'' movie are homages to Heisei-but-not-Heisei middle of his head.
* Instead of red bug eyes which main
Riders -- that is, series that aired in Japan's Heisei era, but aren't counted in the franchise's Heisei group. One is based on ''[[Series/KamenRiderBlackRX Black RX]]''; the second is and their Another Riders had, Another Blade has a shared pair of human-like eyes. Possibly a reference to ''[[Film/ShinKamenRiderPrologue Shin]]'', ''[[Film/KamenRiderZO ZO]]'', and ''[[Film/KamenRiderJ J]]''; and the third homages ''[[Series/KamenRiderAmazons Amazons]]''. The movie also features cameos from a variety of other works outside the main series, including the ''[[Series/KamenRiderGaim Kamen Tachibana's final fight with Giraffa Undead wherein his Rider Zangetsu]]'' stage show, ''[[Series/KamenRiderDrive Kamen Rider Brain]]'', ''[[Recap/KamenRiderExAidKamenSentaiGorider Kamen Sentai Gorider]]'', ''Film/KamenRiderG'', helmet's eye cracked and partially exposed his face, alongside a blood leak. In addition, Another Blade's facial design also resembles Hajime's infamous "I will kill you!" expression from the [[Manga/KamenRiderKuuga manga version of Kuuga]], and even an unofficial parody ''Kamen Norider''!home series.
* Another Hibiki's name being labelled vertically references how the original series' logo was also vertically oriented with the words read from top to bottom.


Added DiffLines:

* Another Drive's head evokes Super Deadheat Drive from the movie ''Surprise Future'' by having a half-and-half design, but it is taken a step further by her human-like left eye, which references the specific scene where Dark Drive beats Shinnosuke so badly that the left side of the Drive helmet breaks and exposes his face underneath it. This is foreshadowing, considering that Dark Drive ''was'' the Paradox Roidmude.
* The bars on Another Decade's horns and head resemble a twisted version of Decade’s emblem, with his head in the middle and six bars on each side of the head.
** The overall design of Another Decade recalls ''Decade''[='s=] {{Crossover}} with ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'', where an [[MonsterOfTheWeek Ayakashi]] managed to steal Kaito's Diendriver and transform into a distorted, monstrous version of Kamen Rider Diend.
* The three Riders in the ''Over Quartzer'' movie are homages to Heisei-but-not-Heisei Riders -- that is, series that aired in Japan's Heisei era, but aren't counted in the franchise's Heisei group. One is based on ''[[Series/KamenRiderBlackRX Black RX]]''; the second is a shared reference to ''[[Film/ShinKamenRiderPrologue Shin]]'', ''[[Film/KamenRiderZO ZO]]'', and ''[[Film/KamenRiderJ J]]''; and the third homages ''[[Series/KamenRiderAmazons Amazons]]''.

Added DiffLines:

* Many of the clocks and knick-knacks in Junichiro's shop are props that were used in previous seasons. Some were not the exact piece used, but are of the same model and appearance.
* Zi-O's name calls back to both the last 20th anniversary Rider ([[Film/KamenRiderZO ZO]]) and the last time travel Rider ([[Series/KamenRiderDenO Den-O]]).
* Zi-O was born in 2000, the year ''Series/KamenRiderKuuga'' premiered and started the franchise's Heisei era.
* The naming scheme for the Another Riders is the same as that of [[Series/KamenRiderAgito Another Agito]]. The Another Rider for Agito turns out to be a particularly twisted mythology gag - while certain humans could potentially evolve into Agito, Another Agito only existed because the real form of Agito was taken by Shoichi Tsugami [[spoiler:and his sister before that]]. In ''Zi-O'', humans are forcefully evolved into Another Agitoes ''whether they want to or not.''
* During Woz's opening and ending narration (from Episode 2 onwards), [[Series/KamenRiderExAid Cronus's]] clock can be seen behind him.
* Two relating to Ōma Zi-O:
** His "Rider/ライダー" visor is vaguely shaped like a bird similar to [[Series/KamenRider Shocker]]'s symbol.
** Him being an evil version of [[TheProtagonist Sougo]] who [[EvilOverlord becomes a Demon King]] in a BadFuture makes him similar with Future!Kotaro Minami in the {{manga}} adaptation of ''Series/KamenRiderBlack''.
* In a FreezeFrameBonus, [[CreepyDoll Dr. Maki's doll]] can be seen in the background of a few of Kuroto Dan's scenes during the OOO arc.

* Another Kabuto's belt buckle is a yellow larva with red markings curled into a ball, which evokes the design of Series/KamenRiderStronger's Electrer belt; Kabuto was specifically designed to be an homage to Stronger.
* Sougo's former classmate Owada is effectively a [[Series/KamenRiderExAid gender-flipped Nico Saiba]].
* [[spoiler:Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi]]'s design and henshin pose is one to [[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Miho Kirishima/Kamen Rider Femme's]]. Her crescent moon-shaped visor is also reminiscent of [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Zangetsu's]].
