Errors

 * When Kamen Rider Geiz presses the button atop the Genm Ride Watch to activates the Ridewatch for Armor Time and Critical Time Burst, the Ride Watch Doesn't shine like Ridewatches usually does and announce "Genm".
 * This probably alludes the toy version of Genm Ridewatch, which have the same characteristic as the one used in the show.
