I'd forgotten, too. I only remembered because Igor used the composer Ganma form last week and I was initially confused and thought the actual character had returned.

The problem is that the current situation is much more important than Onari's need to feel useful. It's a really self-centered way of thinking. Gou went through a similar crisis in Drive where he doubted his usefulness to the team. The difference with Gou is that he didn't go out of his way to hurt the team's effectiveness just to steal the spotlight. He fought to better himself and actually become a valued member of the team.

Onari doesn't do that. Onari goofs off, complains about his lack of usefulness to the team and tries to remedy this by literally taking control away from much more competent characters. And of course, because this is Ghost, rather than there being real consequences for Onari's short-sightedness and selfishness, it'll instead be treated as a goofy, quirky little scene that'll have no bearing on future plot developments.

Honestly, I never get this negative about a Rider show, but Onari completely ruins Ghost with his antics.

Also damn I just remembered Cubi too (that was his name, right?). I actually liked him. At least most of his antics just revolved around him annoying characters during casual moments.

I think that something else should be pointed out. Gou had reasons for this. His own grudge against the Roimudes and how the Mach System was supposed to surpass Drive but the contrary had happened. Gou felt like he was getting weaker and weaker, therefore unnecessary. Onari had never helped out in any major way other than 'moral support'

He did fight the Knife Ganma and treated Javel but that's literally the only two instances in the entire show I remember Onari doing something really cool and useful.

Everything else written above is true though.

And Javel hasn't even been seen for several episodes nor has he done anything for the group.

I don't consider 'matrix-ing bullets before falling over' helpful tbh

Amazon Episode 6: Well I loved the Mole Beastman's face turn mainly because he understood Amazon's friendship and compassion. I just loved Amazon's compassion to help this being that's crying out for help even though he kidnapped his friend and tried to kill him earlier. I enjoyed learning more about the Gigi Armlet and why it is important as well as the story telling in this show is fantastic. Masahiko also continues to be the best kid I've seen in a Showa series. Great action too love the violent nature of it. Amazon's beastly fighting style is awesome. Also, the Jungler is awesome too. I can't wait for more.

I've been watching Kabuto. It's pretty neat. Tendou is very entertaining, which I was surprised by. I didn't expect to like him very much.

We watched Blade episodes 12-17 yesterday and one of my friends pointed out that you can play a drinking game with how many times someone says Tachibana's name. :lol
