Why it matters
Shirakura's own remarks, with no Toei announcement behind them, point to the new THE KAMENRIDER PREMIUM and THE KAMENRIDER ANIMATED labels as where Kamen Rider sequels go next.
He said Kamen Rider Kabuto 20th: The One Who Inherits the Heavens, opening November 6, will likely be the last.
The remark came as an answer, written in Chinese, to an overseas user asking whether the label had been discontinued because no V-Cinext release was announced for Kamen Rider Zeztz, which finished airing at the end of last month. No official statement from Toei has been confirmed. V-Cinema sequels began with 2011's Kamen Rider W RETURNS Kamen Rider Accel, first as original video works, later with theatrical releases under the V-Cinext name. The most recent release in the line is Kamen Rider Gavv Guilty Parfait, which has been rolling out since November 2025.
