Staring at them head-on like that... Fourze looks so angry! And Ghost perpetually has 0_0 face going on.

So apparently when Toei was prepping Agito, one of the finalists was disqualified and Toshiki Kashu eventually got the role of Shoichi/Agito. The reason? The disqualified finalist turned out to be the son of Mr. Ryo Hayami aka Keisuke Jin aka KAMEN RIDER X and due to a rule within Toei that says actors who are children of Kamen Rider actors cannot be part of the cast he did not make the cut. Now I don't know if this only applies to rider roles only, but I would not be surprised if this also applied to supporting roles as well so that they do not get involved in any form of nepotism-related shenanigans. Thoughts?

Meanwhile, the main writer for Agito... had a dad who worked as the main writer on Showa Kamen Rider series. Fun rule!

I wonder how the show would have been different with a different actor, kind of like Kamen Rider Eric Stoltz!

To be fair Toshiki Inoue was already a well known writer for various animes and had worked on various other toku sbows. Most notably Jetman so this feels alot less of Neopotism and more like hey we got a famous J-Drama writer that also made Toei alot of meny with his various toku shows (Jetman, Agito anf Faiz)

Plus he has a a daughter who wrote the novel for Kamen Rider Decade (and a few episodes of Pretty Cure, but that’s neither here nor there).

Ghost had a distinct lack of insert songs, but I found it's soundtrack to be one of the most memorable, so it sort of balanced out on that front.

...Yet I still wished somehow that the ridiculous tune that is "Go! Go! Ghost!" could have made it into the show at some point:

Fourze is a high school student when he got his powers, so he was literally raised and trained to be evil before even becoming a rider.

I keep hearing cryptic, vaguely threatening comments about Zero-One's plot. I think I made a terrible mistake not watching this one live. :lol At this point it might be easier to let it finish and binge it all at once though.

Listening to the trainwreck that is the Heisei Generations Forever medley again, it made me realize that Agito and Fourze's themes work really well together :lol
