History Series / KamenRiderExAid

Voted #8 series in the Heisei era and #8 product overall in NHK's All Kamen Rider Popularity Vote.

** Ex-Aid's weapon is the ''Gashacon Breaker'', which has a [[DropTheHammer Hammer Mode]] and [[CoolSword Blade Mode]]. [[spoiler:Genm also has one in his Level 0 form.]]

** Genm, Poppy, and Cronus each have a ''Gashacon Bugvisor'' (Genm has the original version while Poppy and Cronus use a Bugvisor Zwei), a weapon styled after a handheld game system (specifically a UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance) that has a {{Chainsaw|Good}} on one side and [[EnergyWeapon laser turrets]] on the other.

* {{UsefulNotes/Cartridge}}: The basis of the design for the Gashat Cartridges, the [[TransformationTrinket transformation trinkets]] for this season. The name of the collectible is based on the Japanese onomatopoeia for inserting cartridges into a console.

* PacManFever: Averted. Games and gaming are shown fairly accurately, and while old-school visuals and sound effects do show up it appears to be an intentional retro style. It helps that Toei has a business relationship with a real-life game dev, Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment, allowing an actual UsefulNotes/WonderSwan and even VideoGame/PacMan himself to make appearances (and the [=WonderSwan=] is even period-accurate, appearing in a flashback that took place when the system really was on sale).

** The equipment used for ''True Ending''[='s=] VirtualReality is a modified, Gamer Driver-colored version of the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 PlayStation VR]]; and Sony released an ''Ex-Aid'' VR mini-movie as a tie-in.

* ''Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: Tricks: Kamen Rider Lazer'', a ''Televi-Kun'' magazine exclusive DVD.

* ''Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: Tricks: Kamen Rider Para-DX'', a second ''Televi-Kun'' exclusive DVD.

** ''Series/KamenRiderOutsiders'', a crossover series featuring ''[[Series/KamenRiderRyuki Ryuki]]'', ''555'', ''Zero-One'', and ''[[Series/KamenRiderSaber Saber]]''.

* AnimeHair: Most Riders' helmets are designed to resemble this. Ex-Aid, Genm, Para-DX Fighter Gamer, and Cronus have spiky hair (with Ex-Aid Double Action Gamer XX being spiky on one side, "slicked back" on the other). Brave has an ornate ponytail, Snipe's helmet has PeekABangs, Lazer's has a spiked mohawk, Para-DX Puzzle Gamer has something like a pompadour that drops down between his eyes, and Para-DX Perfect Knock Out Gamer has a wild spiky mane.
