For the first time in more than 30 years, my future has yet to be written. I worked so hard that I wanted a break“. Despite this, when asked about a possible Kamen Rider sequel, Anno replied that he had started writing down some ideas and that he had come up with an open ending for it as well as the title Shin Kamen Rider: Masker World, although nothing is certain or official yet .
