Well, one thing you have to keep in mind is that KR isn't afraid to use characters in suit only. While it would be wonderful to actually get the characters to reprise the roles, it's a rather well known fact that Odagiri doesn't want to come back (Granted, it's been 20 years. Maybe he's had a change of heart?)
Anyway, another question. What's the point of Best Matches in Build? When I first saw Hawk Gattling, I could immediately see the benefit what with the homing hawk bullets. However, no other Best Match has any real synergy. Panda Rocket doesn't offer anything any other claw/pointy weapon could use with Rocket. Hell, Porcupine is objectively better since it's points can extend at will. Nin Nin Comic has a special sword, but Build had to design and build that sword after he found out about the Best Match. So, without the sword, what makes that combo worth using? Same goes for Pirate Train and it's bow. I really wished Best Matches were akin to OOO or Double combos, where the "Special" combos offered unique abilities that only said combo could achieve, like GataKiriBa's cloning or LunaTrigger's curving bullets...

The Fullbottles were created by the alien entity Evolto based on memories of his host, the astronaut Soichi Isurugi. Evolto did this by asking Soichi questions. He first asked him for 30 things that he liked. Soichi answered with things from Misora's picture book, which was then used to create the Biotic Fullbottles. Evolto then asked Soichi to name 30 things that could destroy each of the ones he had just named. Soichi initially answered with objects such as tanks and guns, but soon started naming random objects to protect the things that Misora loved once he realized Evolto's motives. Pairing a Biotic Fullbottle with the Abiotic Fullbottle representing the item intended to destroy it results in a particularly powerful combination, called a Best Match. (Well, it’s complicated) Even Evolto was baffled by Soichi’s choice for things to destroy like Comic and Cake. |

It's unlikely we going to see Joe Odagiri reprising his role because he doesn't really care for tokusatsu as a genre and the reason why he took on the role of Kuuga is as a favor to producer Shigenori Takatera.
Since Takatera was fired due to the Troubled Production of Kamen Rider Hibiki, he has no real motivation to reprise his role. No Shigenori Takatera, No Joe Odagiri. |

Well, you can blame this on Soichi.

Don't worry. Once I read Evolto I basically hit the eject button to avoid spoilers

Here's a question. How do you pronounce Chalice?
Might sound like a stupid question, but if you notice in Blade, Chalice's name is pronounced with a hard K sound, instead of a Cha sound, making his name in Japanese sound like "Kalice." So, do you guys pronounce it as it's spelled in English, as Cha-lice, or how it's said in show, as Ka-lice?

That one depends for me. I say Wizard instead of Wizardo like you, but others - I do call Emu "Ekusaido" in my mind instead of "Ex-Aid".
I say "Double" and write "Double" or "W" randomly without preference |
