The instant I started typing that analogy, I just had this flash of Oh Akiba's Got Thoughts On This.

Alright, so Emu's pizza has nothing but toppings on it, every square inch is covered in something, he always asks Hiiro to cut it and he always gets turned down.
Sento does his pizzas half and half, somewhat to fit his aesthetic, but also because Banjou is always asking for half of it and Banjou has far too much protein on his half, so better to keep all the meat to one side. Kenzaki has margherita and he likes it that way.

The thing is... I get why a segment of the fandom obsesses over trivial things like this. The second you construct a fictional space for stories to exist, there's going to be people who care about the rules. When you have decades of stories existing in (more or less) the same fictional space, that emphasis on Definitive Answers becomes more and more pronounced. It's... it's like the flipside to the kind of engagement that keeps us all caring about these characters and stories. It's just what some people find valuable about stories and fiction. Do I? No. But I get that they do.

"Who is the secondary Rider of Blade" is one of those discussions that's interesting at first, but I've been in this fandom long enough to know it just ends up going round and round in circles, and poor Leangle is once again left out of it all.
Leangle eats pizza with black food dye in, btw, for that extra bit of edginess.

Oh for sure, hopefully my initial post didn't come across too judgmental! If other people enjoy that kind of thing, I don't intend to disparage anyone for it, it just isn't my thing. I certainly think that fans all having such different interests and priorities in what they want from stories is ultimately to the benefit of everyone, since it allows so many different types of conversations and gives us all new and valuable perspectives.

It's like, if we can't send a Blade thread off with dumb jokes and memes, why did we even have a Blade thread?

Mari is the only member of Team Faiz who gets to choose the pizza, because Kusaka stares down anyone who objects to her choice, so Takumi just goes over to Team Orphnoch and Yuuji lets him get whatever he wants.

KAMEN RIDER BLADE EPISODE 48
It doesn’t help that some of the pacing is weird. Like, the episode starts with the Darkroaches already overrunning Tokyo. It's been a week since the end of the last episode, no one’s seen Hajime, and Team Blade is barely making a dent in the monsters that are swarming the city. We get right into the action, with Blade taking down a dozen Darkroaches before collapsing, exhausted from what must’ve been a week of non-stop combat. They don’t need to tell us, because the performance and staging have conveyed it quickly and accurately. Really great storytelling. Quote:

This was a decent episode, pacing issues aside. (The pacing issues are pretty huge, though! That flashback scene winds everything down to zero!) Kenzaki has been hoping that somehow, some way, he wouldn’t have to fight Hajime, and this episode systematically funnels him into that inevitable conflict. It’s not great as far as plot or character (there really isn’t much in this one I loved, outside of a tiny Nozomi choice by in the early part of the episode), but it’s a solidly plot-driven penultimate episode. It did the work to clear the stage for the finale. I’m excited to see what choices the show makes for its ending!

I think Tachibana sees any outcome where the Joker survives as being too dangerous. His strategy of unsealing the Human Undead and sealing the Joker also ends Battle Fight, which has to be seen as a greater good (by Tachibana!) than just letting it go on indefinitely and hoping nothing else bad happens.

Killing somebody is a permanent solution to what could be a temporary problem. Better to believe in rehabilitation, no matter how unlikely, than to assume that people can't change.
Also, man, Amane isn't that bad! She has a whole bunch of people in the cast that care about her! She's just a little bit of a brat!

Mutsuki will add you to his supporters list. You're among such honourable members as:
- Nozomi - That spider that lives in his head - That tiger that lives in his head - Tachibana, maybe Shinji keeps trying to order pizza but Ren won't let him eat it.
