KAMEN RIDER SABAKI SERIES

Shinji and Ren have Rider #1 and Rider #2's poses, respectively.One way to distinguish between the two Alternative Riders is the silver stripes on Alternative Zero, a reference to the primary difference between the first two Kamen Riders (Hayato Ichimonji's suit had the silver stripes).The effect of Freeze Vent on CGI monsters like Genocider looked an awful lot like Duke Org Loki's freezing-and-capturing of the Power Animals in Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger.Both names allude to Shiro Kazami, better known as Kamen Rider V3. Shiro Kanzaki went by the name Shiro Takami when he studied overseas.Ren's first memory on recovering from his Laser-Guided Amnesia (see above) is an image on a woman in a white dress on a beach, just like Shoichi (they were actually Ren's girlfriend and Shoichi's sister respectively).Though the whole routine isn't the same, Shinji and Ren's henshin poses incorporate those of Rider 1 and Rider 2, respectively.A minor one design wise: Ryuki's eyes, Knight's mouthpiece, and Zolda's antennae all evoke the original Rider.The Double Rider Kick appears a few times: once at the end of the Hyper Battle Video (Ryuki and Agito), and once when Shinji and Ren have to fend off a Mirror Monster unmorphed.Goro sometimes does Rider 1's and Agito's henshin poses as part of his Red Herring routine.Also, the second encounter is often a bat.

KAMEN RIDER SABAKI SERIES

Most Kamen Rider series feature a spider monster in the first episode Ryuki raises the bar with a Giant Spider that comes back to life once.

G3-X's red eyes and mouth guard are apparently called the Red Eyezer and Perfecter after similar parts on Kamen Rider X.

Agito's Cross Horns opening up for finishers was inspired by an unused concept for Kamen Rider Stronger.

Another Agito's two scarfs resemble V3's own double-scarf fashion choice, and the G3-X's GA-04 Anthares is modeled after Riderman's Rope Arm.

The Riders themselves have references to V3 - e.g.

The Shout-Out takes a step further when you realize that Doktor G's organization is Destron - the V3 baddies with this logo ◊.

The reference is further enforced by the fact that they both make their first appearances on the 13th episodes of their respective shows. The Lord's design is clearly based on the Doktor's monster form - Kani Laser ◊ - right down to the axe, shield, and general head shape.

Another V3 Monster of the Week reference comes from the Scorpion Lord, Leiurus Acutia ◊, who is modeled after V3's Dragon - Doktor G.

V3 and Agito also both follow series where the first monsters were a spider and a bat. Especially fitting because Agito is the second series of the revived franchise, just as V3 was the second series of the original franchise. This homages Kamen Rider V3, where the first monsters of the week were Scissors Jaguar and Turtle Bazooka.

The first group of monsters are big cats, and the second are turtles.

Distant Finale format, filled with Where Are They Now, and the lead protagonist doesn't show his face till the end of it. And the finale mimics that of Kamen Rider Kuuga in more ways than one.

Not only is Another Agito's design meant to invoke the Showa Kamen Riders (it even comes with a Scarf of Asskicking of sorts), but his motorcycle resembles the one used by Kamen Rider BLACK.Sakurako and Jean are based out of Jounan University, the same college where Takeshi Hongo studied Episode 40 takes it further by having Yusuke, Sakurako, and Enokida mention a "Professor Hongo", who had Big Ol' Eyebrows and a Badass Baritone (Yusuke's impression sounding a lot like Hiroshi Fujioka), implying that they're talking about the original Rider.Kuuga's red form being called #4 can be seen as a continuation of the original three riders being #1, #2 and V3.
