Line #13 WhatCouldHaveBeen/KamenRiderExAidTheAbridgedSeries


1	* The original plan for Emu was that he would be TheQuietOne or TheVoiceless and have either no lines at all or be extremely soft-spoken and his obligatory once-an-episode line would be interrupted by someone. He was also written as just some random stranger who wandered into the hospital, stuck around, and put on their coats, rather than an actual doctor, but that was scrapped.
2	* Nico was meant to speak purely in dial-up static. Then the actual ''Ex-Aid'' show began giving her a bigger role with more important things to do as Ride-Player Nico and Mage was cast as abridged Nico. [[HilariousInHindsight Amusingly]], fellow ''Kamen Rider Ex-Aid'' abridged series ''Ex-AIDS'' would use a similar gimmick for Poppy's character.
3	* When he guest starred in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7PcDKN6cyQ&lc=z23fv51azumztv0p204t1aokgbgaqelijgnyeynz4mmbbk0h00410.1508533949196745 episode 12]] of [=ProtoDubs=] and [=SpecialForm12=]’s podcast ''Bugster Bros'', Marcos revealed that Souta 2 was supposed to have more lines in Episode 4, but they were removed because he feared they might be annoying.
4	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSFy6N8aanA&t=156s This video]] of deleted scenes and bloopers includes more behind the scenes stuff.
5	** Graphite was going to be a one-off character who says nothing when Parad monologues to him and got one line expressing his gratitude for being part of ''Ex-Aid Abridged'' shortly before getting unceremoniously killed off. That changed when the actual ''Ex-Aid'' series brought the character back and the planned joke would’ve fallen flat. His ghost was also going to be silent.
6	** Parad’s voice was going to be high pitched with occasional cracks reminiscent of a character in ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'', but it was decided that this joke would quickly get annoying. [[ZigZaggedTrope Then]] [=ProtoDubs=] delivered a masterful performance based on Pegasus and they rolled with it.
7	** Hiiro’s dad [[AdaptedOut wasn’t going to appear]] in the abridged series at all, but then they changed their minds and planned out a joke where he only appeared at the end of the series and Hiiro would introduce him as his father, to Emu’s surprise. Then this joke got moved to episode 4, introducing the character to the series earlier.
8	** Poppy was going to be EvilAllAlong and would have killed Emu at the end after spending the rest of the series making seemingly empty threats to do so, but this plan was apparently scrapped beyond her lines in the first few episodes.
9	** Kuroto’s ManChild character was going to be emphasized by him having a high-pitched voice provided by an actual kid, but this was deemed annoying and got changed.
10	** Parad's betrayal of Kuroto was written as him arguing to Kuroto that ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'' sucks, leading into TheReveal that Parad was on the development team for that game. This was scrapped when ''Ex-Aid'' proper revealed that he was actually Emu’s EnemyWithout. Also, Kuroto’s entire motivation as a character was going to be that he wants to erase every negative review of the game, taking ComplainingAboutPeopleNotLikingTheShow to an extreme level, but this also changed.
11	** The notes include some minor {{Running Gag}}s that didn't make it into the finished product. One of these gags was that the characters would react to every CaptainObviousReveal plot twist with shock while treating less obvious and more unexpected developments like Kamen Rider Poppy as TheUntwist in-universe, but the only remnant of this in the abridged series is Emu calling Kiriya's death a ForegoneConclusion.
12	** The full version of Pinple Pell heard on Mighty Album X has a few differences from the [[https://youtu.be/ZSFy6N8aanA?list=PL9bNdPQEs2bw8K8kjy_rav0UEBe919Aiw&t=169 demo version]].
13	* {{Yander\|e}}Mage[='s=] lines in TheStinger of ''Chou Super Hero Taisen Abridged'' were shortened from the version Mage originally recorded. The full monologue can be found [[http://mageshine-dance.tumblr.com/post/169620096014/mageshine-dance-th-i-s-m-ig-ht-not-mak-e here]].
14	* Hiiro was originally going to be voiced by Marcos’s friend Dallas before the latter suddenly disappeared[[note]]Dallas has since appeared in several of Marcos’s streams and commentaries, and later voiced Totema in ''Kamen Sentai Gorider: The Abridged Special''[[/note]]. Proto, who was only going to voice Parad, was then cast as Hiiro ([[RunningGag and everyone]]).
15	* The [=GenmStop=] joke in episode 3 was added because the original scene with Graphite went on for too long and was in danger of being struck with copyright.
16	* The dialogue that Smith Danigans and Mage recorded between Taiga and Nico in episode 5 was far more extended than the footage allowed for the final cut. Maddie also ad-libbed more lines for Emu to be an even bigger JerkAss to Nico in the following scene, but those got cut as well.
17	* The planned adaptation for ''Series/KamenRiderWizard'' would have been of its summer movie, ''Kamen Rider Wizard in Magic Land'', but Marcos found the source material so boring and impossible to make an entertaining script out of that he decided to cancel the movie adaptation and instead focus on adapting the final two PostScriptSeason episodes of the TV series that crossover with ''Series/KamenRiderDecade''.
18	* For Wizard X Decade, both versions of Haruto were planned to be voiced by [=XenoBlazeVA=], who recorded lines for the younger one, but the finished cut has Surrounded by Perverts voicing Young Haruto as a TimeShiftedActor instead.
