, and if you view the show through that lens, everything that doesn't make sense about the fight scenes suddenly does. This is maybe best exemplified by Yua turning against Gai back in 33, where she turns into Valkyrie while Gai is just sitting there. At least in that immediate moment, all Gai was doing was going on a rant about how people are tools. There wasn't any danger she was stopping by being a Kamen Rider there, but she was angry at Gai, and wanted to hit him to feel better, and that's sort of the kind of show this is. Which, like, I don't think that's wrong! It's not what I'm usually after in Kamen Rider (which is basically Haruto dropkicking a Phantom), but it's valid in its own right.
This is one of the issues I have with the show as well. It's not the first series to do something like this, but it really stands out because everyone is so serious about their agendas. Maybe people would actually get what they want if they incapacitated people more often.
Still, there seems to be an unspoken Rider code. And for anyone that is not familiar with Kamen Rider as a series, it can be pretty jarring.
Maybe I just miss Build and the very real concept of the big evil mastermind toying with his victims.
