* LighterAndSofter: While darker than Takuro Fukuda's [[Series/KamenRiderGhost previous foray]] into the ''Kamen Rider'' franchise, ''Saber'' is still lighter than ''Zero-One'' before it. The heroes stay unified for most of the show, with a lot of focus on ThePowerOfFriendship, and the ending is a whole lot more optimistic.

%%* * SpiritualAntithesis: To both ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'' and ''Series/KamenRiderGaim''.''Series/KamenRiderGaim'', being a mutiple Rider show with the Riders themselves having some form of warrior theme. Unlike the other two, ''Saber'' has most of the Riders unified to a common cause and affirming in TrueCompanions, with the heroic Riders only clashing with one another usually due to a misconception. If anything, ''Saber'' comes off as a tad more optimistic than the two as the heroic Riders here all end up united to the very end, with the show going out with a HappyEnding.


Added DiffLines:

* ThePowerOfFriendship: While not to the extent of ''[[Series/KamenRiderFourze Fourze]]'', a common element in ''Saber'' is that Touma would keep trying affirm the bonds between him, Mei, and most of the other Riders throughout the show, especially in regards to his {{Childhood Friend}}s Kento and Luna. Even when things eventually soured between him and the other Riders, it ultimately didn't last as not only did Touma refused to give up on them, one by one, the others gradually regain their trust in him. Come the final arc, Touma managed to make allies with the rest of the heroic Riders, to the point where they all welcome him back once [[spoiler:he returns to Earth from Wonder World.]]
