And also Valkyrie is really cool, so who even cares about that! Genuinely my favorite debut fight out of the three Riders so far. Going back to the whole "contrast" point, they do *such* a great job getting across that Yua is the only Rider right now who really
thinks
about how to approach a fight, as opposed to the heroic bumbling and vengeful fury of our other heroes.
I know with Rider and Tokusatsu in general we're used to "_____ of the week" plots but I think Zero-One does a really good job of keeping it relevant to the core of the shows' theme and accomplishing world-building/character building/new toy introductions while also building up the main plot.

REALxEYEZ is pretty great too, if that needs saying. And even though she isn't the sole lyricist for it, this was also the first Rider opening since Drive to have Shouko Fujibayashi write for it, so just on that level alone, I would already like it.
Wow, that kind of surprises me if only because I really associate her with great Rider music.
