Production change
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 change
