Toeiverse ALTERNATE Explanation

I am Trevor Machismo, the other T in T'nT. Like my friend, colleague, and eternal blood rival Tack; I am a fan of Tokusatsu. I also happen to have OCD and a severe need to be able to put my precious Toku into a singular continuity. That is what brought up the "Toeiverse" discussion. My belief is that Kamen Rider has always taken place in one singular universe with a few exceptions that I will get to. I believe that Decade played a role in changing continuity, but not in the way Tack thinks. His theory is sound and thought out, but I see it a little differently, so we'll be going over this again from my perspective without the cool charts, cause I'm lazy.

-Showaverse: I also believe that you can connect KR1 to Agito easily. That includes the movie characters. I also believe that in the Showaverse lies a connection to Super Sentai already, as Toei Spiderman dealt with V3 AND Battle Fever J.

-Ryuki: It's easily connected and one of my fave seasons for the record. While yes, it features many alternate timelines, at least one connects to Agito and therefore is the appropriate connection point between this series in the next.

-555: It does not really connect to the past, but it does nothing to take away from it either. It could easily fit in, so for the sake of the argument, everything can connect so far. A singular Toeiverse up to this point.

-Blade: It makes some vague connections to Agito like Tack said, but it also mentions Kamen Riders by names quite often. That's enough to make the connection.

-Hibiki: Now this is where it does get complicated. For a season that was not supposed to be a Kamen Rider series, it doesn't do much to be different, but it is the first time I will concede that it could be an alternate universe. I'm not saying that their aren't alternate universes in Kamen Rider, as we will get to later. For the sake of the argument we will consider this the first outside of the Showaverse.

-Kabuto: Another show that can be counted out due to Kamen Rider The First and The Next, although it can be grouped with Hibiki if you want. These two make for an alternate universe.

-Den-O: Den-O takes us back to the Singular Universe by not contradicting anything that came before, and as we'll see later plays a pivotal role in connecting everything.

-Kiva is also connected strongly to the Singular Universe by way of the interactions with Den-O on multiple occasions.

So at this point we need to rename the Universe. The Singular Universe where most of Kamen Rider takes place will be called Prime, as Decade will make some changes, and introduce many new concepts and ideas.

-Decade: So here we go. This is where it gets crazy. This is where Tack thought that Tsukasa was from the Prime universe, and was the reincarnation of the original Great Leader. This is where I disagree. Tsukasa is from an alternate universe. He's from a world outside of Prime and the Hibiki/Kabuto world. He is the Great Leader of an Alternate Shocker, where most of Shocker and its past incarnations still exist and thrive. He spends most of the show traveling to alternate universes to try and set things right. Alternate Universes that were never supposed to be, but they are. This leads us to believe that somewhere in the past, Shocker caused a multiverse which makes alternate worlds as well as movie versions of some of the seasons becoming canon. Throughout all of this though, the Prime universe is not involved, until we come to Den-O.

In Decade, as he travels to different worlds, we know that he is not in Universe Prime because of how different everything is. That is until we come to Den-O everything in Den-O is how Den-O should be. That leads us to believe that Decade is meeting the actual Den-O and not an alternate. This is further established by a canon Den-O movie that connects to a Decade episode. This is important because later on during All Riders vs. Dai Shocker, which is canon, all of the original Kamen Rider come out of the SAME DIMENSIONAL DOOR. This includes Den-O, who had a past adventure with Decade and references it. This means that since they all came from the same place they are all from the Prime Universe. Barely any of Decade dealt with the Prime Universe, but since they too were in danger they came to lend a hand. Now at this point Hibiki and Kabuto made their way out of the same door. This could mean that they always were apart of Universe Prime, or Decade's meddling already folded them into continuity. In any case we know that they all came from the same place and ARE the original riders. As Decade continues we know that all riders have to die to be rebooted. At the end the Prime Universe continues as it always has, but it allows other shows like Hibiki and Kabuto to seemlessly be folded in.

Later on we know that the future rider following Decade are connected to this universe. We know that Double knows OOO, and OOO knows Den-O. It is through Den-O that everyone is connected in All Riders. Finally Fourze confirms what I always knew to be true in a much simpler way. They all exist in one singular universe.

I know it was a convoluted way to explain it, but you could technically always connect them together. Other franchises have now been connected as well, and I agree with Tack that Rei Hino and Eiji Hino HAVE to be siblings based on their father being a politician and neither every mention their family. Thus we come to the same conclusion of an all inclusive Toeiverse, but by different means. It was always much closer together, and only a few plot threads needed to be weaved in to make it a consistent Prime Universe, while at the same time allowing for Alternate Elseworld Tales. So yeah...that's the Toeiverse.
