Kamen Riders in different eras, belonging to different worldviews and timelines. Although Aunt Dong had arranged for Svoruz or the Time Authority to unify the worldview and time, the result was a failure, and she was easily defeated by the power of the king of time. Of course, this is the plot that Kamen Rider should have, and it is precisely because of the disunity that there are more possibilities.
Actually,It's no problem for Aunt Dong to design like this.,If the world view is unified.,There will be a problem of homogenization in the style of painting.,And the encounter of Kamen Riders in different eras or the development of side lines in parallel worlds is not so story-like.。
In terms of the actual look and feel and the design of Kamen Rider's abilities, there is basically an illusion that the new Kamen Rider seems to be getting stronger and stronger in terms of ability. For example, in the past, Kamen Rider became his own unique ability, and in the new Kamen Rider, he will use another kind of power that is not his own to use for himself.
That is to say, no matter how powerful you are, as long as I have the corresponding props, then your ability is my ability, and my ability is still my ability.
In this way, is it true that the new Kamen Rider must be better than the previous knights?The answer is no, although the official did not say it explicitly, but the result given for this question is that there are infinite possibilities for new knights in terms of ability setting, and new knights can defeat enemies that their predecessors can't defeat, but in terms of feelings, new knights can't beat their predecessors Kamen Riders.
The unexplained premise that there is no upper limit to the abilities of the new Kamen Rider has always existed. For example, the Void that has completed the Ultimate Perfection has the ability to destroy the living beings of the earth, but the younger generation of Ajita has been given the possibility of infinite growth in a specific environment. This can't be compared in the first place, because the ultimate void I can control the molecule has reached the limit, and as long as you have it, I can touch it. On the premise that Ajita has a corresponding enemy, the stronger the enemy, the faster the evolution. The abilities are very mysterious, but theoretically there is no way to compare them in the same setting.
As for the Kamen Riders of Shin Heisei and Reiwa, not to mention, the Kamen Riders of Shin Heisei have a lot of plug-ins, and the predecessors can also make a plug-in if they don't have the ability. Fight the unbeatable boss either the big knight kicks, or the power of the predecessors is used by me.
However, based on feelings, the new Kamen Rider must not be able to defeat the predecessor Kamen Rider, except of course if there is a clear stance and it is controlled by an overhaul card.
In the theatrical version of Showa Knights vs. Heisei Knights, there is no accurate answer to who is strong and who is weak, and what can be shown is only the characteristics of different Kamen Riders under different combat conditions. This is also the case in the knight battles, including the Imperial Cavalry Brother.
However, in the battle between Armor and Kamen Rider No. 1, a difference can be clearly seen, that is, in terms of basic combat power, the senior knights are basically slightly better, but in the use of new props and black technology, the predecessors Kamen Riders are obviously almost inferior. Theoretically, with the technological ability and version advantage that no one else has, the new knight has a higher chance of defeating the previous Kamen Rider.
But this can't be allowed, even in the final battle link, for the sake of feelings, in order to keep this combat power system mysterious forever, the new Kamen Rider will give respect to the senior Kamen Riders in the form of a conscience discovery. Of course, this also shows a problem, that is, ability is sometimes difficult to use in the face of combat experience and feelings.
This setting is inherently contradictory, but from the perspective of an independent world view, it is extremely reasonable, after all, it is not a one-dimensional combat power system, and there is no direct comparison
