>No references to Black besides Black Sun is fucking crazy, that dude is just as iconic as Ichigo or Kuuga.
Kamen Rider Joker was a Black reference, including Black's Punch -> Kick finisher. We also just had a whale ally in Gavv.
The issue with Black is that, suit design aside, it was a Rider 1 reference in the first place, going back to the whole "Captured by evil organization and modified". The most unique aspects are the living bike (and bikes are shafted nowadays) and Shadowmoon.
I guess there isn't any Rider that's a direct Shadowmoon homage design-wise now that I think about it? Although Urobuchi has said for the Gaim vs Baron battle he wanted to create something that felt like the tragedy of Black vs Shadowmoon.
