Hi, apologies if this was discussed before, I don't check here as often.
There was a clear design basis for Heisei Riders after Decade, the season 2 group of Heisei Riders if you will call them that.
Their designs were homages to past non-Rider Ishinomori heroes like Kikaider or Bibyun.
Among the more recent riders however, the design homage were not as clear cut, or were less emphasized. Like the main rider didn't seem to be based on anyone, but the second rider was. I was wondering if riders and Tokusatsu fans agree with my selection of which riders matches with past Ishinomori heroes.
I can't be 100% sure till we get through the second decade and all main/sub riders matches nicely to Ishinomori heroes. I:m pretty sure the designers are still keeping it up as a type of Easter egg for older fans and respect to Shotaro Ishinomori.
