Production

It was the shortest Kamen Rider series ever, lasting only 24 episodes. It was believed to be due to the show's large amounts of violence. But this was due to a pre-planned change of networks airing the program, from NET to MBS/TB. A clean break in airing series was requested. There was a planned end at episode 24.

Kamen Rider Amazons

To celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Kamen Rider Series, Toei and Amazon.com collaborated on an original Amazon Video series titled Kamen Rider Amazons.
