==Notes==
*In a chapter of the Inazuman manga, Kamen Rider X appeared on a calendar, six months prior to Kamen Rider X's reveal on television, giving fans a sneak preview. One notable difference from the final version is the belt does not have the Ridol buckle.
*Due to tough competition from anime in the Super Robot genre that were popular at the time airing in similar or close time slots, X didn’t achieve the same high ratings as its predecessors, hence why it lasted only 35 episodes. https://tokusatsunetwork.com/2021/07/the-history-of-tokusatsu-part-6-kamen-rider-part-2/
