Comment:
Kamen Rider Ryuki marked a major departure from majority of the Kamen Rider franchise's traditions created by the late Shotaro Ishinomori. Instead of having the monster of the week, the series had numerous Kamen Riders fighting each other for supremacy (much like the Immortals in Highlander). And unlike the other KR titles (with the exception of Shin Kamen Rider), motorcycles had absolutely no important role in this series.
Production-wise, Ryuki marked the beginning of Toei's partnership with music giant Avex, Inc. The series also started the trend of not having ending credits and placing the ending theme in the final fight scene of each episode.
