Well, Michi didn't feel anything for the Jamato Toru because it was just a Jamato mimicking him. Sara was actually transformed into a Jamato, which meant him killing her was a much bigger deal.

And while I know there's only so many helmets to go around, the fact that they introduced total randoms as riders in the final 10 or so episodes, while the bullies who got Toru killed (And basically the catalyst for Michi's entire motivation for the first 2/3 of the show) never returned just feels like a bit of lost opportunity.

And while true that the next series is Grasshopper themed, the Ninja crossover was about Keiwa, not Ace.

A grasshopper crossover would be nice, but considering there are over 10, unless they opt to give characters like the 90's movie riders the attention, it'll just be another Ichigou showcase.

But at the same time, she turned not into a reasonable Jamato (relatively, as far as possible), but into a dumb, stupid monster. As for Toru's imitation, I would believe it if I saw the true identity of the monster. And he seemed so sincere. So it's more of a question of which is more important: the body or the mind, and the choice in favor of the body is a bit strange.
Also, Buffa does not care about all the other victims of Daichi, including those also killed by Michinaga, and already consciously. And this despite the fact that he saw Sarah a couple of times and did not seem to even talk to her.


Agree. It seems to me that they are too eager to set a record for the number of riders in the show and keep it as long as possible.


Ace's fox theme is unique. While I wouldn't mind crossover shooters either, there are a few of my favorite characters among them. I think the choice was influenced by all the specifics of Shinobi as a likely rider this year, and the availability of the actor who played ZX.

It may be early as Gotchard will takeover Geats later on but... what would be a good motif & gimmick for 2024's rider?

I go for music since Hibiki. But better and more like Ex-Aid!

I don't understand the concept of "Hibiki but better."

Add a violinist to the cast.

Hibiki but instead of getting cancelled after 29 episodes the rest of the show is Daimajin Kanon.

I fell off of Geats pretty hard around episode 40 and the longer that I let episodes pile up, the less I feel like trying to finish it. I just don't have the mental energy for yet another new DGP producer bad guy and there is nothing about the concept of an Evil Keiwa arc that even remotely interests me. I'm starting to think this might be the first time I DNF a modern Rider show.

Understand. I myself only recently caught up with a large batch and I can say that these are not those episodes that look better all at once. I myself just want to start Gotchard without debt.

They should get Hiroshi Fujioka (Kamen Rider Ichigou's actor) and Naoya Makoto (Akarenger's actor) to appear as a Sentai hero and Rider, respectively.

I doubt either of them really have the desire to return for a full blown series due to their age, but both shows love their one off heroes for films, especially Kamen Rider. Would be funny.

Cameos during one broadcast of Super Hero Time would be a nice decision.
