*Prior to this broadcast, MBS was already re-broadcasting selected Kamen Rider TV episodes by Hideaki Anno since February 7, 2023. The originally-scheduled episode "My Name is Monstrous Bird Guilgaras!" was replaced by this TV special.https://twitter.com/Shin_KR/status/1640692717318721536
*The TV special's closing screen is an homage to the end of each episode of the original TV series Kamen Rider where would appear over the last scene of the episode, but sharing a similar style with Hideaki Anno's TV series where the last scene would suddenly switch to a pure black background.
