Gold's interesting fact corner:
2009 was a weird year for Rider in general, but it also marked an interesting and lasting change in their advertising and public identity
previously, when romanizing the series'name, Toei would translate it
example: 仮面ライダーヒビキ would be Masked Rider Hibiki
beginning with the second 2009 series, Riders going forward would be romanized as such
仮面ライダーダブル(W) to Kamen Rider Double (W)
what I find most entertaining about this is that they've stayed consistent with it! all series including and before 2009's Masked Rider Decade are still officially advertised as "Masked Rider"
it's best illustrated with Decades you gimmick, the Rider Cards, which initially had one for most riders that predated Decade, but later received an updated expansion with cards for Riders post Decade which reflected the name change
