Them being solely focused on their mission (this one can be a good or bad thing depending on the person tbh IMO, including Team Faiz and Renegades' emphasis on daily life)? Wondering.
I think the thing that really ended up working for me with Lucky Clover is how we first see them hanging out, having a drink. It sets a unique tone for them as a group. I think I called them a "social club" before, rather than a villain group, and that's a very fun dynamic. Even groups that we see hanging out in other series like OOO or Kuuga or Drive, those scenes are largely about specific power structures and immediate goals. With Lucky Clover, it feels more like they're just enjoying some time at a bar, relaxing, and then they'll go do villain stuff later.

Well, Yuka's setting Kaido up here. She wants Kaido for herself, and that'll never happen as long as Mari is a possibility. She knows how Mari would react to a proposal (
not well
), which is why she suggests it to Kaido. It all blowing up in his face was exactly what she wanted!

never once stopping to ask if Kaidou's plan itself crosses the line
. It truly does fit his character so well I'd never question it. It is the absolute definition of "just stupid enough to work".
I pretty much just want to see Kaido winning constantly with cartoon premises. There is no limit to the idiotic stuff you could have him try. Like, I gotta think Kouhai talked him out of dressing up as Mari and trying to trick the belts off of the Riders that way, or maybe having the two of them create a pantomime ride machine and, when one of the Riders got on, they'd jump out and grab the belt. All of these ideas, none of them are too stupid to have worked.

The main bad guy in a Showa Era series would've executed Mr. J just for having the nerve to still be alive after his first failure, and then genetically re-engineered Chaco into some mindless killing machine to make up the difference. Murakami is just the best of the best trying to make sure humanity isn't the lowest of the low! Encouraging evolution is a noble goal, right?
He's a really solid supervisor! I mean, Hank Scorpio is pretty much a dream boss, right? With Murakami, he's not great to his Smart Brain employees, but he really treats Lucky Clover with an appropriate amount of respect. He wants results, but he understands the difference between someone failing and someone being a failure.

Because it's not a bad feeling at all!
Third favorite theme song, W-B-X.
Second favorite theme song, Be The One.
First favorite theme song, SURPRISE DRIVE. It has the
best opening
, that squealing guitar and propulsive drumming, the announcer saying "START -- YOUR ENGINES", the staccato rhythm right up until "Fire Up/Ignition", and then the guitar
speeds up
... it's so good! It's the best theme song for a Kamen Rider!
