If you could cut out a subplot or any arc from Kamen Rider, what would it be and why?

Like I said, the flower-arranging story
in theory
works as an introduction to the arc -- you do actually have a somewhat interesting pull by asking if Humagears are truly capable of understanding, comprehending, and most importantly creating and expressing art beyond just a logical, dictionary definition. Hell, that's right out of the script from Zero-One's first episode -- "A dream isn't something you can just look up in a textbook". The issue is that the episode doesn't seem too interested in doing much with that, which would be fine if you're just presenting the basic idea... but then it goes on to be a 2-parter that also isn't doing much of anything else.
So either expand on the idea of how Humagears interact with art; cut it down to a single episode; or - and this is something both me and Fish Sandwich have suggested in the individual episode threads - perhaps do something with your other characters. A specific example I recall bringing up was expanding on Jun Fukuzoe; one of the comedic side-characters and the Vice President aiming for the top of Hiden Intelligence. At the end of the arc when Aruto's leaving Hiden Intelligence, Jun gives a small speech about sticking with the company handed down to him by Hiden no matter what and striving to live by its ideals. That's actually a pretty interesting concept that gives his character more depth and informs many of his previous decisions... and also a concept that was
never brought up before
, so it kind of feels like it comes out of nowhere. So hey, here's an idea: put it in one of these episodes that otherwise isn't doing much character or thematic work! Work on your side characters so that your cast feels more fleshed out beyond generic stereotypes as the story's getting more intense, and ensure that his moment at the end of this arc has a lot more weight to it as dramatic payoff!
It doesn't have to be Jun, of course; a little mini-spotlight on any character would do! Maybe even Yua Yaiba! Gosh, wouldn't it be cool if she got development and backstory and ideals so that her actions don't feel bizarrely out of place and so that maybe her turn-heel later could feel like it means something and wasn't completely pulled out of nowhere? Wouldn't that be cool?
Wouldn't it be really goddamn cool if Yua Yaiba, a character a lot of people were excited for and were rooting for for many reasons, actually got a fleshed out complex character and had a reason to work for ZAIA other than because the story said so?
Rants aside, really, just do something so that these episodes have a lot more meat on the bones. The structure's
fine
, but it just doesn't have a lot of substance to it so it either cutting it down, expanding upon the concept or doing character work elsewhere would make them satisfying.
