I forgot how Shinnosuke invited the Ghost cast to his wedding who he knew for one day ahead of anyone else in his life. Makoto didn't even bother to wear a suit!

I guess? yeah I don?t really think Julio?s feelings matter in this.
His devotion to Aguilera was always (imo) very one-sided, so to me I don?t see how this is any big shake up in their dynamic. It?s a change in Aguilera?s relationship with Sakura and vice versa, but Julio isn?t really a factor. Quote:
I think he?s trying to argue that Aguilera and Tamaki have been set up since day one, and that Sakura is interfering in the development of that straight relationship?despite the fact that Tamaki?s devotion has always been incredibly one-sided, whereas the rivalry and feelings between Aguilera and Sakura has always been mutual. IE, he, and many others it seems, assumed that Tamaki and Aguilera was intended to be this ?long form straight romance, with Aguilera falling for him at the end? (which, you know, fair, that is a pretty common trope), and are unwilling to acknowledge even the possibility that Tamaki was always intended to be on the outside, because Sakura and Aguilera were intended to have a lesbian relationship from the beginning.
As for Tamaki?s feelings and whether they matter?they don?t matter as much as Sakura?s, no. Not because he?s a man and Sakura?s a woman, but because Sakura is one of our main characters and Tamaki?isn?t. I get that people are upset about that - I certainly do think his character has a lot more potential than he?s being written with?but the same can be said of Gentoku or Kazumi from Build, both of whom devolved into gag characters for a lot of the show. Quote:
There have been several in the past where the narrative is romantic, where the story stops short of saying anything either way, where, if one party was a woman, it?d be considered ?basically canon? - but, because they?re both men, the prospect that it was meant to be read any other way than just ?bros saving the world? is laughed at, and derided.
Nevertheless, I?ve always kind of expected them to take this step?I just thought it would be between two men, and probably two auxiliary riders that they can just ignore in marketing if it proves super unpopular. I certainly never expected it to be between one of our original central antagonists and the third rider, and certainly not between two women. As I?ve said before, as a lesbian, it makes me indescribably happy that, even if nothing concrete happens in the show - even if this level of chemistry between Sakura and Aguilera is maintained, without them saying anything explicit, or without Aguilera doing a 180 on her feelings for Tamaki?they still made that instagram post saying ?love is love? and ?happy pride?. The intent for you to be able read the two of them as lesbians is there, and I?m sure there is at least one little girl watching Kamen Rider in Japan who sees Aguilera and Sakura and realises who she is, and that it?s okay.

Is there any chance for Aguilera to become a rider after? If so, either a queen bee or a rattlesnake.
The final battle between Aguilera & Jeanne will decide. That goes for if Revice will use his power to save her too. |

We don't usually get couples in Kamen Rider.
The one from Drive was one of the few where feelings were actually reciprocated. This is why I don't think Sakura and Aguilera is a thing. It would be a very surprising leap where the Kamen Rider series is usually super tame. With Riders it's usually not shoved into your face. As for Tamaki, he is/was devoted to Aguilera and you see both characters caring for each other. I mean, I thought we were going with that particular trope where each characters are in love with eachother but decide to be honest about it around the last 2 episodes of the series. |

Sakura & Aguilera definitely need to work things out. Tamaki is just a servant & bodyguard of Aguilera's anyway.

Now that Aguilera left the Deadmans, will Tamaki try to join Weekend?

Vail using the Kuwagata Stamp. So it's the prelude to Over Demons.

I really dislike Over Demons's design because the design is very similar to Vail...
Even Over Demons have same colour with Vail. I personally prefer if the Over Demons have similar design to Garren or Gattack. |
