Where the heck's Samas? I bet she's intentionally kept as a loose end by Takahashi. She'll probably conveniently appear on episode 48 or 49 to backstab Sueru and take his Zillion Driver, just like what she did to Niram, and then become the final villain. Also, if Sueru did own the Zillion Driver, a more powerful version of the Vision Driver, why didn't he use it on episode 38 to complete the Grand End? Why did he let problems escalate? Isn't DGP supposed to be a God (with capital G) that can create and manipulate virtual worlds (Ace's world being one of them) to their whim?

Gosh. What a hyper-bloated, hyper-contrived story. It's so contrived that the writers themselves are confused and can't finish it as scheduled. This series is so hilariously, laughably bad. Geats is the apex of bad writing.

They both got bouquets, although that doesn’t stop them from being in a V-Cinext.

This statement is contradicted by the fact that years of Akari and Neon were repeated 6 times at the same episodes in the show. So either the author still does not trust the audience, or he has a strange prioritization.

What the heck do you mean by "years"? Do you mean flashbacks? Or did you mean to type out something like "fears"? I'm sorry, I'm having trouble understanding where you're coming from here, because like nothing about this makes sense.

I mean "8 Years of Akari and 11 Years of Neon", which was repeatedly discussed by the entire Kurama family throughout episodes 43 and 44. I doubt it could have been skipped because, as I wrote, they repeated it 6 times in 40 minutes.
Again, if the author had trusted the audience, Irumi would have just hugged Neon in the hospital, without any dialogue, because we already heard that she loves her daughter in the previous episode and will hear more when the family gets together. Nevertheless, for some reason they decided to take the time to say it all out loud.

I'll be honest, I think it would've been equally strange if she just hugged Neon without saying a thing considering how Neon at that point has been viewing herself and her relationship with other people, especially her parents. Because another part is just Neon not realizing that she is loved because of how long she hadn't been outright told it before. And ever since finding out the truth about her origins, she hadn't thought she was capable of being loved because of it. Nor has she been really able to recognize it either.

This isn't a case of the author not trusting the audience, this is a case of a character affirming the truth of their words to another, both of whom are currently at an emotional high at the moment. I feel like that reunion at the hospital would need affirmative dialogue like that between characters because Neon was someone who wanted and needed to be explicitly told that her parents truly love her after realizing it.

I don't think this is the same as trusting the audience to connect the dots between things like Jitt being Game Master meant he had a hand in affecting Keiwa's wish in Genesis to how Girori being Game Master meant that he had a hand in affecting Ace's wish in Encounter/Scheme.

Honestly though, it's pretty clear to me that neither of us will get the other to agree, so I think we'll just have to agree to disagree and end it at that.

Yup, pretty much agree with all of this, makes perfect sense.

It would make sense if we next saw Irumi shopping with Neon. But the hospital consists of two scenes, both of which are talking about the same thing. And both have Neon and Irumi. Hugs could be dispensed with, but there was no need for dialogue in the hallway. All reconciliation could be transferred to the ward to the father.
Plus, a bit of theory. Cinema is a visual art and its main method of communicating with the audience is the image. Therefore, everything that can be shown without words must be shown without words. And this is not my invention or preference, but what people are taught in universities.

Agree. But the last word will be mine.

I don't know what'd be that purpose tbh, because Daichi is never shown to be dead (and it was a common misconception that eliminated means dead, when it's proven time to time again it's not).

It's unknown what'd they pull later, and I don't believe that Daichi is redeemed for now, he'd be like Kuroto, Evolt, or Orteca in Battle Familia, of only doing things to benefit him that involves siding with the protagonists (hmm... Ex-Aid also had the ending where they're working to release people from Game Over, of which got partially ruined by Masamune who commits suicide to spite them). I hope that perhaps the Tree of Knowledge part would be more of a conflict later with Daichi viewing it as his pride, the only reason why he agrees to work with the protagonists later, to take his tree back from Beroba, he piroritizes his invention above anything else. There are no time limit for freeing the people in his Tree though, not everything has to be done in quickly hasty way (which also leads to agreeing with extremist plan or complaining about someone that isn't helped yet for now like donating money to someone else instead of what's "needed").

Daichi forgot those memories, but it's not like he didn't remember that he used to have those, and he also knows he got them again after Ace's reset. While losing those memories, he remembers that he used to have Sara and the other captive's memories, thus their influence is already planted to him even if those memories are gone, thus he still has learned about the concept of happiness and joy. Though I still don't think that this is a redemption arc and it's more like Kuroto (or Evolt or Orteca in Battle Familia), them working with the good guys for their own benefit, Kuroto for revenge against the bad guys, and Daichi to continue his interest of human thinking, why'd you think this is better than Gai's? As I thought the reason why Gai's is so terrible is how, they're redeeming someone who has crime list as severe as those who are already irredeemable (in pure evil category), like Banno, Namba, Isaac, etc.

It's just a suggestion, albeit perhaps no for the ones that rob others' happiness like the DGP does. Ofc it's not guaranteed that it'd be successful, but it's worth trying for something that doesn't cause bloodshed, and if they're still evil then you'd work again to stop them. There are villains that can become nice when got hit with amnesia, like for example, Rook from Kiva, got refered as "Dai-chan".

Because not everything about Rider fighting is playing a DGP game? (albeit the people there often refer to anything as a game). Perhaps this is a common misconception regarding Geats viewers. Not everything about Rider fighting in this series is just playing game rounds to win and get a wish. While the JGP is a game done by Beroba for Jamatos to compete, the Riders like the core trio only fight because they want to, to protect people from the Jamato attacks, as in real Kamen Riders would, they just happen to be given bonuses for the Jamatos, likely so that they can hinder the JGP less to keep attacking people. Ace refers to his own group as his own DGP now, but there's nothing about it in common with the usual DGP of Ace not forcing the Riders to join, but not rewarding them, and the purpose if it being simply to protect people from Jamatos.

And don't you even know that the DGP is on hold for now? Which is the premise where the management wants to turn Tsumuri (or Ace) into the next Goddess so that they can hold the DGP again in other era. The Riders like Turbon are simply abusing their powers to cause havoc for their own satisfaction (when bad guys are given superpowers they can use it to wreak havoc, and they can get away like breaking out prisons with it - why Ouja keeps escaping from prison). Regarding hundreds of other Riders, it's unknown if perhaps Zitt is the one who made the wish turn out this way to screw over Keiwa (bad end for him) and use him as his pawn....

Obviously those who refuse to acknowledge the deeper introspection of something they view as superficial, will downplay it like claiming she should just download Tinder or something (of which, even ignoring that love isn't only romantic that it's already established in the show too, not just headcanon), then get confused when they're working on what's established while blaming the show. The opinions of the haters aren't always the right one with those who defend it being sheeps who can't think objectively.... getting sick if criticism or outright badmouthing are the only ones that is considered right and honest, with positive saying being considered sugarcoating (often the view of edgy assholes in these medias too, of which often got approved irl too). Though you also need to not think that the parents always loved her and "treated her well all this time" with Neon not tealizing it, because they're shitty parents, but got inspired by Neon's actions of keep giving "true love" to others, to make amends to her and show her actual love (the root of why she needs to be explicitly told of being loved, her abusive upbringing, in opposite extremes for both).

Because he's Jamato now, and the show didn't show a way to become Jamato without dying (black cards don't count because he doesn't have any).

Orteca was in prison, Kuroto was in a computer prison, Evolt flew into space. Daichi is still on the loose and could very well capture someone else by adding to his tree.

Later is when? In a crossover? There is no time limit... Of course, after all, none of the hostages of the tree has relatives, friends, or pets after all. Even if for them the whole experience is like a dream, a piece of life is lost. They suffer, their loved ones suffer. Just write that you don't care about the the nameless extras and that's it.
Also, Ace didn't have a time limit, but he still wanted to win games. Although he could wait another couple of millennia until only unpleasant bandits get into the game with him. He has unlimited time, why rush? What difference does it make to him being a celebrity in 2023th or 3356th?
