Build DOES have subtle things other shows don't have. The Smash are almost exclusively mindless monsters, which means them usually being overpowered with ease makes sense, the mystery of Blood Stalk was something fans wanted to know because of Stalk's outright fun personality, the show's doing something unique with the political stuff and some extra world building, see Hokuto, which looked pretty damn bleak and which we now learned is their government's fault for sticking the funds in military, shit, in what other recent toku did a man get shot down by an actual gun? And the blaring belts are a valid complaint, but they do tone them down quite a bit, hell, in the first episode, when Sento reversed to RabbitTank for the finisher, it didn't play the whole jingle, and a few episodes ago, the sound effects got drained out by the rain which made the excellent cinematography of the shot of Build VS Stalk feel more chilling. Not saying you're wrong, just feel some of your criticisms aren't entirely valid
I was talking about the Rider powers not evolving meaningfully, not the characters themselves. I actually like the characters a lot, especially Banjou. Seeing him fight unmorphed for so long before finally getting his powers was a really nice touch that I've wanted from Rider forever. I feel like as a franchise the show doesn't do enough to convince us the person in the suit is the same person as the one out of it. My issue with Banjou is that his girlfriend dying wasn't very well handled, outside of specific scenes you'd never even know that was his driving force as a character.
Everything you've listed there can be found in multiple other Rider series, though.While it may be true that it hasn't appeared in the last few series Drive/Ghost/Ex-Aid (I haven't watched any of these), all of the stuff featured in Build appears verbatim in various series before it.
Also that Rain scene was one of my favourite in the whole show exactly because it finally shut the Driver up.
