I'd say character-driven. Although, if this series is an expy of Ryuki's storyline, we might say bye bye to some of them rather quickly.

Well the driver only has the four jingles so reusing them will not be much of a surprise so not to bummed

Pretty solid episode. Nice to see that the show is almost entirely beyond the wacky exposition. Action scenes were great this episode.

I'm pretty sure some of them won't be around long.

It would've been cool, if they just had of said. In honor of it being Kamen Rider Ryuki 10 year anniversary. The new Kamen Rider Gaim, shall celebrate this by having a gang of Kamen Riders also in the series.

Done, now we know the reasoning for all of Riders that shall be running around. But will they play like Ryuki and start killing off Armored Riders?

Character deaths? In a Gen Urobuchi show? Don't be silly.

It'd be odd if nobody died in this show

Besides Orange, Banana, Grape, and Mellon. Everyone else is secondary stream characters. Meaning they can get killed-off. Because if they are "secretly" honoring Ryuki. Oh people are going to die.

I just had a thought.

What if they do pull off a Ryuki, and try to reboot the timeline… except they end up kick-starting it.

Here's what I'm thinking: someone from the future, in a desperate gamble to prevent the future from happening the way it does, travels back in tie to prevent it. However, this person is trapped in the Halheim Forest, is attacked by Invess, and drops a Sengoku Driver… the same Sengoku Driver found by Kouta.

I don't give Grape very long. Kinda have a bad feeling about that.
