Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

This short bridges Zero-One and Ex-Aid continuities, bringing back Smart Brain from 2003's Kamen Rider Faiz—a company tied to humanity's extinction in that series.

Insight

Kuroto's obsession with 'game clears' and immortality reflects tokusatsu's broader theme: villains who refuse narrative closure become fan favorites who keep getting resurrected.
