## Episodes

The episode titles adhere to the format of a verb followed by a noun. In addition, this is the first series to use special names for its episodes, similar to the Super Sentai series; in this case, calling them "**Lessons**" (修行, *Shugyō*), with the episode numbers themselves being written in kanji rather than Arabic numerals (i.e. **Lesson 1** (一之修行, *Ichinoshugyō*), **Lesson 2** (二之修行, *Ninoshugyō*), etc.), and the final episode being called the **Final Lesson** (最終之修行, *Saishūnoshugyō*).

## Notes

* None of the knights in this series ever shout during transformation, except for a few of the movie-exclusive Knights who call out their Knight title when transforming.
* All of the Knight weapons are based on martial arts weapons (Melee, Ranged, Flexible and Defensive weapons).
* All the names of the Cyber Knights from this series end with the letters "ken".
* This is the first series of Cyber Knight where the transformation destroys the heroes' clothing.
* This is the only Neo Generation series without a female protagonist.
* This was the only season to have an opening theme song with no lyrics, Brilliance, which was the theme in the series.
* Excluding Debatable Knights, this series has the most Knights appear with 78 (including the knights that appear in expanded material). It is followed by *Lost Story* with 38.
	+ If counted by on-screen appearance though, *Daiken*'s amount of Riders at 35 is three less than the total amount of *Lost Story*, as *Daiken* had to exclude 18 manga knights, 9 novel knights, 11 stage show Riders and 5 S.I.C. Hero Rider while *Lost Story* had to exclude none.
