Etymology
This character's various names appear to have ties to the concept of the Bible:
- Kamen Rider Eden's name comes from the Garden of Eden.
- The katakana of S (エス Esu) might have derived from the Japanese pronunciation for Jesus Christ (イエス・キリスト Iesu Kirisuto).
- Also the alternative reading of his given name, S, is the first letter of Satan and Serpent, the antagonistic figures on the Garden of Eden.
Notes
Eden's suit as it glows in the dark.
- Eden's suit, with same base design as Kamen Rider Zero-One and Kamen Rider Thouser, except with thigh armor recycled from Flying Falcon as well as new arm and torso armor and a new helmet.
- Eden's suit is primarily a dark metallic blue with a black under suit, in addition to having white and dark red accent lines across his armor. However, the lines on his suit illuminate in a uniform magenta color instead, giving the illusion of the suit appearing more purple than black and blue.
- The ending part of Kamen Rider Eden's transformation announcement is similar to Kamen Rider Heart & Brain from Kamen Rider Drive.
- Eden is the only Rider of the series to be based on a plant (dead tree) in addition to an animal (human).
- S's trait of having a messiah complex is similar to the following:
- Kugai Kudo - both Kudo and S are movie-exclusive evil Kamen Riders with biblical motifs.
- Johnny Makishima - both Johnny and S are movie-exclusive main antagonists who appeared in the events of their respective movies after the final episodes of their respective series.
- According to producer Takahito Omori, Kamen Rider Eden's actual design motif is a human to make it a contrast with most of the series' Riders so far. He also added that the red lines on its body were meant to emulate blood vessels. Despite being the initial antagonist, Eden was purposely designed to appear heroic instead of monstrous.[4]
- In addition, Eden was originally meant to resemble an extinct animal, but this concept was dropped in favor of the aforementioned human design, so as to emulate Eden's desire to eradicate mankind.
- Rihito's speech in the movie emulates the Old Testament, according to producer Takahito Omori.[5]
