Here are few notes, trivias, and references found in Kamen Rider Ghost inside and outside of the Kamen Rider Series.

In general

 * Currently, Ghost is the only season not to follow the trend of the preceeding seasons involving a white-colored Kamen Rider and their relation to a specific ally of the main protagonist.

Past KR seasons
This season marks as the third series that inspires supernatural-motif since Kamen Rider Kiva, although some seasons have some supernatural feels in terms of certain groups of monsters or a Rider's powers, or the like.
 * Kamen Rider Kuuga: The presence of the Gurongi due to their deadly game.
 * Kamen Rider Hibiki: The Makamou, are often accompanied by a pair of mysterious humans - a Douji and Hime.
 * Kamen Rider Kiva: Fangires, vampire monsters. So far, there are also three seperate races of monsters that were extinct at the hands of the Fangire, with only one surviving respectively-- Wolfen, Merman, and Franken.
 * Kamen Rider Wizard: The Phantoms, are supernatural beings who take appearance based on Western-mythological creatures manifest when the Gate gives into despair. However, to an extent, Gates would eventually survive and contain their Phantom, like in one case, having contained his own, to the point being able to use magic.

Kamen Rider Ryuki

 * Makoto Fukami's backstory is similar to Shiro Kanzaki:
 * Both have a sister who entered an alternate dimension during their childhood.
 * Makoto's sister Kanon Fukami was dragged into the World of Ganma along with Makoto himself via the monolith in the basement of the Daitenku Temple.
 * Although in the Ryuki TV series, it was Yui Kanzaki's Mirror World self who went into the real world, her backstory in Kamen Rider Ryuki: Episode Final was rewritten such that it was the real Yui who went into the Mirror World.
 * Their sisters managed to return to the real world at the cost of their lives.
 * Kanon somehow lost her life and her spirit was stored within a Ganma Eyecon.
 * In both the TV series and the movie, Yui's mirror self lent her lifespan to the real Yui(in the latter it was done in order for the real Yui to return to the real world), however she would cease to live upon her 20th birthday.
 * Both Makoto and Shiro are willing to go to great lengths to save their sister.
 * Makoto was bent on finding and collecting the 15 Heroic Eyecons to save his sister's life, even going so far as to fight his childhood friend in an attempt to claim his Eyecons.
 * Shiro organized the Rider Fight, a battle which involved 13 Riders fighting against one another. The winner of the battle would be granted one wish. In reality, Shiro was manipulating the battle in his favour by using Kamen Rider Odin as his puppet, in a bid to grant his sister a new life.

Kamen Rider Decade

 * Chikara Saionji is a nod to Narutaki in terms of their appearance.

Ben 10

 * Kamen Rider Necrom's default form colour scheme makes him resemble the alien known as Upgrade from the Ben 10 series, specifically Upgrade from the original Ben 10 series due to the white accents on the lower half of the body.
 * Necrom's transformation device, the Megauloder, is wrist-based, similar to the Omnitrix, the watch-like transformation device of the main protagonist Ben Tennyson.
 * Necrom's round-shaped visor also bears a slight resemblance to the Omnitrix's symbol.

15 Great Men
As most of Ghost's elements incorporate most of individuals known in world history, here are, according to the Eyecons under possession of Ghost and his contemporaries what are the contributions of the people in history.

Ludwig van Beethoven, a German composer and pianist. Beethoven is known to be a crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras of Western art music. As such forever remaining as the famous and influential of all composers.

Sometime around 1796, Beethoven was afflicted by a hearing condition called, a "ringing" in his ears that brought him a hard time to hear music, and even tried to avoid conversations. The cause of the deafness of the composer was unknown. In episode 5 where Takeru gains the Beethoven Eyecon, how the Onpu Ganma suppresses traces of sound is a reference to the aforementioned hearing condition

As the jingle for Beethoven's Eyecon implies, it refers to one of Beethoven's compositions, Symphony No. 5, or the Destiny Symphony. Of that note, the first time where Beethoven Damashii appeared shares the same episode title with the season premiere of Kamen Rider Kiva. Both of which are named over Beethoven's Symphony No. 5.
