Hmm okay I can easily see Kamen Rider Fourze crossing over to Crayon Shin-chan but god I hope they don’t have someone wear a Shin-chan suit for Fourze. That’ll be so messed up.

This is actually the second time this has happened. The first crossover was way back with Den-O. And yes, they put a guy in a big rubber anime suit for the Den-O segments.
