Notes
- So far, the Jackun-to-Domamenoki Wonder Ride Book has the longest name among the other Wonder Ride Books.
- It's also the first Wonder Ride Book to use Japanese in the name rather than English.
- Sarutobi Ninja Den and Genbu Shinwa Wonder Ride Books are the only two Wonder Ride Books to use Kanji rather than English.
- The scripts that were written on the back of the cover of the Wonder Ride Books has meaning and significance:
- When the first page of this book is turned, the name of the chosen swordsman with a sacred destiny appears (序文この本がページをめくられる時に現れし聖なる定めに選ばれる剣士の名は, Jobun kono hon ga page wo mekurareru toki ni arawareshi seinaru sadame ni erabareru kenshi no na wa).
- The imprinted graphics and the text style on some of the Wonder Ride Books make them similar to the Rider Gashats in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.
- Similar to the O Medals, Astroswitches, and Ridewatches, Wonder Ride Books are designed to indicate where they are placed in the Driver to simplify it for people whom own the toy versions.
- The three different types of Wonder Ride Books has a formula to their Transformation Page layout.
- A Book of God Beast's Transformation Page will always have the arm on the left page and the Rider on the right page.
- A Book of Animals' Transformation Page will always have the Rider on the left page and the arm on the right page.
- A Book of Stories' Transformtion Page will have a double spread of an arm.
- When more than one Wonder Ride Book are used in their designated slots on the Swordriver, it forms a complete spread of a Rider form from arm to arm.
