Moreover, the Megids' abilities to terra-shift certain parts of the city to a different area was added to allow the production team an excuse to film around Toei Studios.Īlthough the pandemic had inhibited certain traditional filming methods originally meant for Saber, a new method had arose. As such, it led to the creation of on-studio sets such as Fantastic Bookstore Kamiyama and the Northern Base to make up for the inability to film elsewhere. With the country in lockdown, certain locations such as Shibuya Crossing became off-limits from filming. Like Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger which premiered in the same time frame as the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, Saber was developed to resemble a Sentai team who fought to "escape the crisis together."įilming had begun while the staff from Zero-One were also still filming material to fill their now-45 episode quota, which was originally at 41. The storyline of Zero-One was science-fiction and noticeably mature, so the nature of Saber veered towards the fantasy direction and its narrative was changed to introduce more "brighter" storylines while attempting to appeal to the younger children who may not have understood or were as deeply invested into the complex and dark storyline of Zero-One as older audiences were. However with the arrival of COVID-19 in the real world, a conscious effort was made to avoid infighting between Riders as much as possible, with the role of killing another Rider being delegated to Kamen Rider Calibur only. This would lead to him being an extremely powerful Rider from the start. Thus, his novel writing and swordsmanship training would be driven solely for the sake of finding Luna and not for his love of books or whatsoever. From the start, Touma would have already been an experienced swordsman and had all of his missing memories involving Luna. Touma, a lone traveler akin to Soji Tendo, would have had to embark on a "road trip" and encounter each of the other swordsman while deepening his bonds with them before their final battle against Storious. As revealed in the 284th issue of Figure-Oh Magazine, the original proposed drafts had a vastly different story, where the members of the Sword of Logos were originally at odds with one another, with each Swordsman located in different areas around the world. The concept of battle royales between multiple Riders has been done in the past, like Kamen Rider Ryuki. Twelve Kamen Riders of varying alignments have appeared throughout the series.
