* WhatAnIdiot: Apollo Geist kills one of the two scientists [[spoiler:who resurrects him]] for failing to stop Rider X, and much later realizes that he needs both men to repair his body. While short sighted, it's understandable because Geist hadn't known [[spoiler:that the procedure would end with his body degrading and]] that he'd need both of them. Upon learning that he needs the Perfecter (to replace his heart) to save himself... Geist kills the other professor, even though he'd probably need that man to install the Perfecter. All the money, time and effort it took to bring in two of Japan's greatest minds, and the tech to [[spoiler:bring Geist back]] was clearly well spent.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: The RomanceOnTheSet between Ryo Hayami and Naoko Miyama which blossomed into a marriage with two children, especially considering [[spoiler:the tragic fates of Keisuke's fiance Ryoko and her twin sister Kiriko]].

* ValuesDissonance: Akuninkaijin are Lord Dark's genetically created minions using the DNA of evil historical figures. One of these figures is Geronimo, a famous Native American who fought against United States most famously in The Battle of Littlehorn. For the longest time, in the United States at least, he was not seen in a sympathetic light, but even when X was airing that started to change. Today stating he was a straight up villain would cause major outrage.

* OneSceneWonder: Starfish Hitler only appeared in one episode as a MonsterOfTheWeek, but he is one of the best-remembered things from this show and is often cited as a shining example of how weird Showa-era ''Kamen Rider'' can get.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The series actually started out with a fairly compelling mystery surrounding Keisuke, his father, Ryoko and Kiriko. It's all rushed and concluded by episode 8, with [[spoiler:Ryoko's betrayal and subsequent reveal as a ReverseMole]] having no bearing on the remainder of the series. The three are barely mentioned afterwards.
