## Trivia

* With 53 episodes in total (including 2 post-finale episodes which serve as the TV special), Kamen Rider Wizard is considered the longest Heisei-era Rider series in history, beating *Kamen Rider Agito*'s record of 51 episodes. If the specials didn't count as episodes, however, then Wizard's episode count record would have been tied with Agito's.
* In this title series, the Kamen Rider is often called as "**Magicians**", save for a crossover movie.
* This is the first series to have the opening be sung by a male singer since *Kamen Rider Decade.*
* This was the last Kamen Rider Series until *Kamen Rider Build*to premiere in September.
* Wizard is the first Kamen Rider series to have an Female Voice actress voice the main character. Laura Bailey, who voiced Yui Kanzaki in Ryuki, voiced Haruto throughout the show's run.
