No, Tomokazu Seki provided the voice of All Historical Figure including Musashi

Kaido playing the human form of Musashi

I can feel that, but it seems like a relatively minor development to me, despite sounding so important. He'll be mad at Adel for a bit and then get over it, likely with the help of his friends or advice from historical figures. It'll definitely serve some purpose, and that's good enough for me.

You think that's bad, try being a fan of Faiz, Kiva, and Wizard. All at once. :lol

It's funny, because up until a few months ago I thought Ghost was pretty massively flawed too, and it is, but talking to people on this forum has made me realize I'm way more protective of it than a lot of other shows.

I thought it was really weird at first they made Adel the main villain of the show since he's just some random, unintimidating dude, but these last 6 episodes or so have really put into perspective why they did it. He's essentially the reverse of Takeru. Someone who becomes more and more evil because he systematically shuts out the opinions and feelings of everyone around him, including the people who care about him.

The thing I've realized about Ghost is that it might be the most thematically strong Kamen Rider show out there (no joke), and Adel is actually a great example of why. The show has always focused on the value of friendship and listening to others and other such gooey stuff, so it was a great move to make the villain the complete antithesis of that, more so than a villain usually is.

THIS! I'm glad someone actually agrees with me on that. :lol

The themes and concepts in Ghost are SO strong that it kind of dulls the mediocrity of the rest of it for me. Despite all of the things I've disliked about it, I can't help but give the show credit for all of the subtle references, parallel connections, and subtext.

During the first quarter of Ghost I remember thinking it was on the fast track to becoming an all-time favorite for me, but then as it moved along I started to have some of the same problems other people were. I never stopped liking it, but I ruled out the possibility it would ever be very high on my list.

I see the problems, you know? I see Fake!Makoto show up to fight Real!Makoto every episode because neither of them would have anything to do otherwise. I see Onari being a moron. I see a million side-plots competing for attention in a juggling act no writer should be insane enough to attempt. But ever since I started thinking back on the show on a broader level while making all these counterarguments and whatnot, I've come to the conclusion I just don't care.

Ghost has an incredibly strong core of ideas that keeps it really focused despite its messier elements, and I really do believe it to be more than the sum of its parts. Not to mention a lot of those parts are actually pretty good to begin with.

I think Takuro Fukuda just doesn't know what the direction for Kamen Rider Ghost like Riku Sanjo doesn't know about the concept of Super Sentai

I feel he doesn't put a lot of effort, He just doing a writing stuff to get his paycheck!

I hope Yuya Takahashi know the direction he want for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.

Believe it or not, I also think Kyoryuger was great too.

There were some good moments near the end as the plot started moving into its final phases, but a lot of the episode still felt like the show was just killing time because they had to fill up the running time. I'm not sure which I'm more tired of hearing at this point: "infinite potential!" or "Tenkuuji Takeru is the key."

I can agree the latter is a pretty underwhelming attempt to build suspense but I will never get tired of hearing about Infinite Potential™. I absolutely love how Ghost intertwined its final form with its plot to that extent.

I'm usually pretty meh on final forms in general, even if I like them, but Mugen is on a whole other level for me. It's easily my favorite of any show and at this point I can't even be bothered Ore never shows up anymore. It's that good.

Could you clarify on this more? Cuz I personally barely ever saw why this message should be seen as a moral theme of the show. (Hence why I personally am another of those who gets annoyed at Takeru's "Infinite Potential" blurbs) I understood Takeru's father Ryu's usage of the term, because he was obviously referring to the fact that he believed his son was capable of great things in the future. But when going to Takeru, who is using the term to mean that humans in general are capable of great things.....EEEEEHHH, not really seeing how this message meshes well with his Final Form, Mugen, which is based on Emotions(which the show has STILL not bothered to fully explain just how he got that power), and the way the VotWs have been getting their problems solved. I don't really see things such as brothers making up with each other or a man having to take his friend into custody as proof of "humanity's INFINITE potential..." This is one of the reasons I have such a hard time taking things Takeru says about humanity so seriously, like for example his speech to Adel when fighting him when he was using the weapon Ganmaizers. If this show wants to harp on humanity having potential of INFINITE, then I'd kinda expect this to refer to things such as humans achieving great things that make a positive impact on the future of humanity. After all, isn't Adel's reasoning for hating humanity the fact that humans are so flawed & corrupt to nature & each other?

Well I'll say upfront it is a bit over the top to call some of the things they do "infinite" like it's really impressive, but that cheesiness is something I personally find endearing.

Exactly, and Takeru is all about how humans have the power to overcome those flaws by understanding each other and working together. Hence, Infinite Potential.™

This is why it's important that Takeru doesn't get the special attacks by directly feeling the emotions himself. He grows as a person because he empathizes with others, and he also literally grows stronger because he gets a cool new move out of it. This is what I mean. Plenty of final forms fill a role in the plot nicely enough but Mugen directly evolves with the character, which I find really cool.

It's a small steps kind of thing. If they can make a little change for the better today, maybe they can make a big one tommorow. Again, pretty cheesy, but I think it works in this show.

One of the many things I didn't even realize was great about Ghost until a couple months ago is how prominent the theme of growth is throughout, and Mugen is the natural evolution of that in my mind, which, on top of the stellar design, is why I like it so much.
