I don't think the wait will be as long, but it may be a few years. In the interview Steve Wang said he was going to rest for a few years and then start doing other work. Unless someone else decides to do another KR then it may be at least another five to six years.

I would prefer if they did.

I would actually like some direct continuity.

Yeah, so like JTC could turn good, and use Xaviax's tech to engineer the Blade powers somehow, or something.

But, since that would never happen, I want greatly to distance myself from the lame characters of Dragon Knight.

I would like maybe cameo appearances, but not full blown roles. It would be nice if at the end of KRDK they have a little setup for the next series.

If the toys don't sell then there will be no sequel or anything continuing after it. That is why RPM is the final Ranger season. The toys have not been selling as much as they used to.

This is something I think all of you should read. This is an interview with the creator Steve Wang. He talks about the show and what he plans to do in the future.

The production costs also played a huge role in PR's cancellations. Toy Sales going down are diffinitly a big part of it though. You're right the toy sales are extremely important

I agree that the toy sales are going to make or break Kamen Rider's chances of a new season. If things fail, it still wouldn't surprise me to see Kamen Rider make another comeback someday.

I think any new incarnation will probably start with a clean slate. Dragon Knight was shot a few years ago and the actors have probably moved on. Also its unclear how much they will leave open for a sequel.

That was a good interview. Of course it was done in Feb. So it was very early in Dragon Knight's run.

Of course. Good action sequences, I like the Ryuki costumes, and JTC and Xaviax are still cool as hell. Kit, his friends, and the amazingly bare story now that the Rider War's over are the nagging problems.

I've come to accept Dragon Knight for what it is, but carrying that over to another Kamen Rider series would just be scary.

Wait I heard that Mr Wang said he'd like to do a Kabuto or Den-o adaption after Dragon Knight So it's not true?
