Notes
- Zonjis' name and design is representing Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue, Kamen Rider ZO, and Kamen Rider J, three films which were released during the Heisei Era but are counted as Showa Rider films due to the involvement of Shotaro Ishinomori. and predating the franchise's continuous run on television starting with Kuuga.
- Additionally, the Shin, ZO, and J Ridewatches are inserted on his Ridewatch Holder.
- While transforming, Kagen is seen doing Kouji Segawa's signature "J" pose. The effect of his transformation sequence also resembles ZO's transformation effect.
- Kagen's civilian outfit is based on Masaru Aso's civilian attire.
- His Clock Hands-like antennae are positioned to 11:05, which is gives him a closer resemblance to the grasshopper's antennae.
- His Fighting Style is similar to Shin's Fighting Style.
