The total episode count has been confirmed at 24. The 2025 broadcast will run through Episode 13 on December 27, while the series will resume in 2026 starting with Episode 14 on January 10.

Alongside the announcement, a “two consecutive cours special teaser video” was released. The footage features the appearance of a powerful new enemy, Bat Man, heightening anticipation over how Tanzaburo Tojima and his companions will confront threats such as Spider Man, Bat Man, and the Shocker combatants.

Tojima Wants to Be a Kamen Rider follows Tanzaburo Tojima, a 40-year-old man who has remained completely serious about his lifelong dream of becoming a Kamen Rider. Just as he begins to give up on that dream, he becomes entangled in a series of high-profile robbery incidents carried out by the so-called “Fake Shocker.” The series depicts a heartfelt and earnest “real Kamen Rider role-play” by adults who truly love Kamen Rider.
