Wow, I'm amazed you guys managed to pull any meaning at all out of those words in that sequence. Like, maybe I'm just missing something here? Is there like a specific tone I need to imagine this being said with? Like, it just does not sound like something a person would ever say to me.

And you're great at it!

While episode 2 is the last appearance of the cousin, he still got a meta-revenge. The actor playing him (Shinnosuke Abe) got cast in a semi-regular role in Chouseishin Gransazer, which ended up outselling Faiz’s successor.

Yeah, not to get off-topic, but the little I know about Blade is that its merch sales were so poor that the Kamen Rider franchise almost went on ice because of it. Interested in seeing how that eventually plays out onscreen.

I had forgotten how hard they go into Kiba (That's how I know Horseman best) and his tragedy in just the second episode, but in hindsight there's really no better place for it since this is still all part of his 'origin story'.
Vaguely related to Kiba, but I like the Horse Orphnochs's design. In fact, I like the look of all the Orphnochs in general. Some people find the fact that they're all monotone in colour to be dull, but I actually think that makes them all the more striking. |

I was mainly just asking for their business parts though, not the whole Driver plot.

Oh, man, my pleasure! I'm thrilled that people have stuff they want to talk about from Faiz. I never know if one of these threads is going to be on a show no one cares about, but I'm glad it hasn't happened yet. (I feel like if it happens, it's going to be Blade or Kabuto. I hope I'm wrong, though!)

This right here is something I came around to after a point. To be fair, it can be a little tricky when you're binging your way through the show to keep track of what the minor ones are even supposed to be, but the designs are all great, and that strong, unified identity within the group makes them stick out as a whole, and the monsters literally being gray is perfectly suited to Faiz for a few different reasons.

And the great big horseshoe on Horsepower's chest is so great. I don't know if I can even explain why, but it's a very fun touch. It's... I think maybe I love it because of the baked-in Kamen Rider dissonance of Yuuji having a very serious, sad story, and the actor getting it all out in the scene, and then there's this gigantic horse monster who is really into horse motifs. It's this juxtaposition of Very Serious Storytelling and Very Designed Suit, and that tension in production is something that's maybe the heart of Kamen Rider to me.

You aren't thinking edgy enough. It's ash. Hence all the fire.

Too much darkness in this show! Between the nighttime scenes and the low resolution of the video, I definitely couldn't tell those apart. It makes a lot more sense, though, with the hearts burning up and all. Sorry I missed that! Thanks for the clarification!

Oh, right, one more thing for now -- I think you comparing a character as... disdainful for me as the Smart Brain Lady to Hatsune Miku, in any respect, no matter how sarcastic or jokey, awakened some kind of primal rage within me. It won't be sated. You'll tonight find your SHF collection thrashed at 5:55AM, curiously with only the OOO, Build and Kuuga segments kept intact.
