The 2008 broadcast introduced new changes to the block, including scenes from the show's episode. For the 2009 television season, Kamen Rider Decade only aired for 31 episodes, allowing for the broadcast of Kamen Rider W for a full 49-episode run. This has introduced an offset of five months between the series premieres of the yearly Super Sentai Series (which premieres in mid-February) and Kamen Rider Series (which premiered in early September since then), instead of an approximate month-long offset that had existed before (Kamen Rider Series premiered in mid-January). This offset was shortened to four months after the finale of the 53 episode-long Kamen Rider Wizard, delaying the premiere of subsequent Kamen Rider Series to early October until the debut of Kamen Rider Build in early September, resulting in the increase of the offset to seven months. In 2019, this offset was reduced to six months with the premiere of Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger in March after its time slot was occupied by the four-week-long miniseries Super Sentai Strongest Battle. The Super Hero Time block is part of the larger block, which begins at 8:30 JST with the airing of an ABC Television-produced shōjo anime animated by Toei Animation (currently the Pretty Cure series) and ends at 10:00 JST after the airing of the Super Sentai series. All of the shows are properties of Bandai, who also sponsors the block. While Super Hero Time began airing with such anime in its inception, the "Nichi Asa Kids Time" branding did not begin until March 4, 2007. On Sunday, October 1, 2017, the block moved to 9:00 JST, with the Kamen Rider series airing before the Super Sentai series. In 2020, production of new episodes for both Kamen Rider Zero-One and Mashin Sentai Kiramager was temporarily halted due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic in Japan, including one of Kiramagers cast members being infected, with special episodes containing old, unreleased footage being aired in the block until June, when production resumed, following a series of health and safety compliances.
