Over the years the
Kamen Rider franchise has evolved in many different ways, and one of the more noticeable changes throughout the Heisei and Reiwa eras has been a shift towards having Riders themselves as principle villains in the series rather than standard monsters. This has created quite the range of villainous Riders, many of which have now come together in what is arguably the
Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club's biggest project yet -
Kamen Rider Outsiders. Beginning its story with a prologue episode in 2022 before releasing a further seven in intervals across 2023 and 2024, writer
Yuya Takahashi brings together his three main series (
Ex-Aid,
Zero-One and
Geats), along with characters and threads from several other
Kamen Rider shows in this grand-scale story.
