You're not wrong! I think I came around more on Onari from that show than any other character.

I'm being tested, aren't I?
You're trying to see if I'm going to break and start going negative in the positive vibes thread. Nice try, but it's not going to work. |

The Onari love gives me strength! I actually found him really funny and enjoyable throughout the entirety of Ghost and I think he lands far better than most comedic side characters in rider which more often than not fall completely flat. *cough* shunpei *cough* the entire investigation team in Drive *cough*. So yeah, it's nice to see him getting some appreciation.

- The endless dedication of Ultraman - in general, as a franchise - to making everything a spectacle and a wonder. The sheer reverence and love for the concept of an Ultraman that never disappears and is never made anything less than amazing
- Following on from that, the way any return or revival of a classic hero in most seasons is treated with wonder and reverence. The 7 Legendary Riders in Movie Wars Megamax; the original Gridman's return in SSSS.Gridman; literally any appearance of the Ultra Brothers; Akaranger leading the charge; Sentai mech toys coming to life in Gokaiger x Goseiger; Tiga's scant few appearances being full of love... it's so, so good. - Kamen Rider Zero-One's soundtrack... if not the best, it's definitely one of the top 5 in the series. Bombastic and fun and exciting in so many ways - Abaranger's constantly positive affirmation of Ryoga and Mai's father-son relationship being just as authentic as a normal one, and further than that being the central example of a good parental relationship in a season where that was the theme. You just don't often see adoptive relationships done this well and I'll always praise Abaranger for it - The fact that when anniversary specials and big line-ups are done, not a single series is left out. Kamen Rider always including unpopular guys like Wizard and Shin and Super-1; Sentai never forgetting all the random 80s teams that many wouldn't remember; Ultraman going as far as including guys like Powered and Nice and Neos. It doesn't matter how obscure any of these are or if any are widely considered unpopular -- all of them mean something to someone, and because of that none of them are ever left out

Small and kind of niche one: whenever a water pipe breaks and it's used to represent rain, the two that come to mind are Touma's transformation into primitive dragon when he tries to get Kento back the first time, and when Chase first transforms into Chaser. I bring this one up because it's not something you really see in other shows, or at least it feels that way. I think a lot of other shows might see that as melodramatic, but toku embraces that feeling and tells stories about large emotions.

I like that Sento from build ugly cries, it’s very humanizing.

Touma does it too. Some seasons have been better about this than others, but in general I feel like Kamen Rider is pretty good about letting its heroes show real emotional vulnerability.

As someone who half-assedly saw Ghost mostly due to a sort of personal toku fatigue when it was the thing to talk about, Onari indeed is the best. Sucks that it will likely be hard for Takayuki Yanagi to reprise Onari as of late because he is focused on modeling in New York and with COVID still going strong honestly I don't blame him if he can't make it.
