almost all the riders have a tear line below his eyes, this represents the sadness of the Kamen Rider destined to fight his family (the evil organization who modified him into a remodeled human).

a symbolic element that still remains today.

I read a story about fourze and I don't know if this is true or not but fourze was broadcasted the same year of the tsunami so they removed the tear lines of his helmet because the hero shouldn't cry in difficult times.

Kamen rider always has been encouraging but I wonder if the next kamen rider would be influenced by these events and give hope to the children through a new kind of positive message.

it's not like I'm asking a new show already there are things more important than that right now. I'm just talking about how kamen rider and toku heroes overall are important symbols of hope for japanese kids in difficult times.

I just want to clarify some things about this thread:

this information is from an interview with Hideki Tajima who is a character designer in Ishimori Pro, he is the designer of Fourze and other riders that maybe you know already.
