Super Hero Time is a programming block on the Japanese television network TV Asahi, featuring new episodes of tokusatsu television series from the Super Sentai and Kamen Rider series. Both series have decades of history and have been intertwined in the public imagination for some time, not least of all because the driving creative force behind both was mangaka Shotaro Ishinomori and they were both produced by the same production company, Toei Company. However, they did not air together until 2000 with Kamen Rider Kuuga and the last few episodes of Kyūkyū Sentai GoGoV, though at the time they were not acknowledged together; even before 2000, the slot Kamen Rider ended up in featured the Metal Heroes and Robocon going back to 1989, while Super Sentai had only moved to Sunday mornings part-way through Denji Sentai Megaranger.From 2007 to 2012, Super Hero Time was branded as part of a larger "Nichi Asa Kids Time"note Translates to "Sunday Morning Kids Time" or "Sunday TV Asahi Kids Time" programming block which was on from 7 am to 9 am JST, with all shows generally sponsored (and merchandised) by Bandai. Even before this branding, the general lineup of Sunday morning kids TV on TV Asahi was more or less formulaic, even sort of extending into 6:30 am starting in 2011: 6:30 am: A Shounen anime: Digimon Fusion, Saint Seiya Omega, Notari Matsutarou, and World Trigger. From 2000 to 2003, reruns of Sailor Moon aired in this slot to promote the Sailor Moon World toyline. 7 am: A Shounen anime from Nagoya Broadcasting Network (Mẽtele) and Sunrise: Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden, Mighty Cat Masked Niyandar, Crush Gear Turbo, Kaiketsu Zorori, Dinosaur King, the many Battle Spirits anime series, Tribe Cool Crew, Brave Beats, Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096, and Heybot! 7:30 am: Super Sentai 8 am: Kamen Rider 8:30 am: An anime from Toei Animation, leaning towards Shoujo, which had been part of TV Asahi's schedule since 1984. By the time Kamen Rider Kuuga premiered TV Asahi had already gone through a whole series of Ojamajo Doremi, and when "Super Hero Time" officially started the show that followed it in the schedule was Ashita no Nadja (which ended 4 months after the block's introduction). As of 2004, the latest Pretty Cure series airs at this time.The "Nichi Asa Kids Time" branding was discontinued in 2012, but the line-up remained consistent for another 5 years until the entire schedule was changed in late 2017. A news program called Sunday Live! replaced all morning programming up until 8:30, when Pretty Cure begins. After Pretty Cure is now the Super Hero Time block... with Kamen Rider first at 9 am and Super Sentai at 9:30.

Massive Multiplayer Crossover
 Super Hero Time / int_2c385759
comment
Massive Multiplayer Crossover: A few intra-franchise and a few inter-franchise: Kamen Rider Decade was celebrated as the 10th Heisei Kamen Rider show, and he travelled through dimensions visiting alternate realities featuring his 9 precedessors (or rather alternate versions of said predecessors), and then later expanding to the Showa era Riders (actual and alternate) before having him come in contact with the real deals in the season finale and the Grand Finale film Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider W & Decade: Movie War 2010. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger was celebrated as the 35th Super Sentai show and the heroes gained and used the powers of every one of their 34 predecessor teams, including characters who weren't even Rangers but were heroic and iconic enough to be represented. Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen took this to the ultimate extreme, as a crossover between every Kamen Rider and Super Sentai team up until that point in early 2012. A year later they did it again with Kamen Rider × Super Sentai × Space Sheriff: Super Hero Taisen Z, this time bringing in the rebooted Space Sheriffs from Space Sheriff Gavan: The Movie. A year after that came Heisei Rider vs. Showa Rider: Kamen Rider Taisen feat. Super Sentai, which was more of a battle of the generations between the two eras of Kamen Rider, with the cast of Ressha Sentai ToQger and one of the Kyoryugers showing up as well. Kamen Rider Zi-O serves as the Heisei Kamen Rider era's 20th anniversary, with the hero and his allies travelling through time to visit his predecessors (the real ones when cameos allow it) and use their powers to stop the villains from messing up the timeline by stealing the same powers. Kamen Rider Decade shows up again as one of the villains (or is he?). Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger serves as the 45th Super Sentai season with the plot involving the worlds of every previous team being trapped by multiversal conquerors. The designs of all Rangers are based around previous mecha in the series, and they can use Sentai Gears to summon the powers of their predecessors. Several of Shotaro Ishinomori's creations show up in some of the later Heisei Kamen Rider shows, particularly their already big crossover films: Space Ironmen Kyodain in Kamen Rider Fourze the Movie: Everyone, Space Is Here! Akumaizer 3, Inazuman, and Bishoujo Kamen Poitrine in Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Wizard & Fourze: Movie War Ultimatum Kikaider in an episode arc of Kamen Rider Gaim

Long Runner: The year 2020 marks 49 years of Kamen Rider (Kamen Rider premiered in 1971) and 45 years of Super Sentai (Himitsu Sentai Gorenger premiered in 1975note The 45th anniversary was celebrated in 2021, as that was the year of the 45th show's premiere). A Super Sentai show has consistently been on Japanese television for the past 41 years (1978 saw Spider-Man and his giant robot Leopardon instead), while Kamen Rider has had several more, and much longer, gaps in its broadcast history (1976-1979, 1981-1987 if you ignore the TV special Birth of the Tenth! Gather All Kamen Riders!! featuring Kamen Rider ZX in 1984, and 1989-2000 when instead the films Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue, Kamen Rider ZO, and Kamen Rider J were released in this timeframe). It wasn't until the year 2000 with the premiere of Kamen Rider Kuuga that both shows have been consistently on Japanese TV with new heroes annually.

comment
Fake Crossover: Most Super Hero Time idents have the contemporary Riders and Sentai posing side-by-side, while recent years have the casts interacting in their respective hide-outs, giving the impression that they are all good friends. Of course, this has no canonical bearing on their proper crossovers, if they have them.

Red Is Heroic: In Sentai, the Red hero is almost always the leader, and even when he isn't, he is still the central protagonist. As well as that, the majority of leading Kamen Riders have some element of red on their suits, no matter how minor it is.

 Super Hero Time / int_eb7c34cf
comment
Crossover: Commonly among their own series and sometimes with each other. For nearly 20 years Super Sentai has had the Vs. movies, teaming up the current Super Sentai series with the previous one, they were originally direct-to-video (then DVD) but changed to theatrical releases for the 15th anniversary of the Vs. series. More recently, Kamen Rider has the Movie War series. The crossover only happens at the start and the end of the block. Super Hero Taisen was a Crossover between the two franchises that are used in Super Hero Time. This later became a yearly tradition for a while; from 2011 to 2017, there was one film per year (except for 2016's Kamen Rider 1, which didn't feature Super Sentai at all). After Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen, Toei announced that they won't make any more. Additionally, there are often crossover bumpers done for the Super Hero Time that will feature the characters interacting with one another (like Den-O fighting alongside the Gekirangers, or Gaim doing the ToQger team pose), but some feature more direct crossovers (the Kabuto/Boukenger era had some, like Tendou making a meal for Akashi). Starting with Gaim and ToQger, the current Kamen Rider and Super Sentai series will do a crossover, either in an hourlong special or having the titular Kamen Rider appear in an episode of the Super Sentai series and one of the Super Sentai members (so far it's only been the red) appearing in the Kamen Rider series.note The first official crossover was between Decade and Shinkenger; however, starting with ToQger vs Gaim, it became a yearly event. The final crossover between the two would be Kamen Rider Saber + Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger Super Hero Senki.
