==Notes==
*The fact that Kousei Amano has portrayed two main roles in two different Kamen Rider series has spawned several in-jokes in different forms of media:
**In several Fourze cast talk shows, Kousei would enact Garren's transformation pose, only for the "Last One" sound effect to be played instead. The second time he enacts the transformation, the correct "Turn Up" sound effect is played.
**In a certain episode of Kamen Rider Fourze the Net Edition: Everyone, Class is Here! where Fourze meets Garren, he mistakes Garren for principal Hayami after Tomoko shows him a video of Garren detransforming. Later, when Garren reveals his name to be Tachibana, Fourze mistakes him for another Tachibana.
**In of , Principal Hayami remembers that he took part in a "Battle Fight" and that he was once Kamen Rider Garren. Along with this, Hayami even says one of Tachibana's infamous quotes in Blade.
