Because Dragon Ball Evolution did it and they don't want to sink any lower by copying it. :o

I mean there was that one time Ex-aid just ran one of the motws over. Which is close but not quite.

Hey so this just crossed my mind thanks to something Die said in his Kabuto thread.
Are there any season of kamen rider that’s more focused on story and setting then character drama?

It feels like to me the characters are what make kamen rider kamen rider.

I'm not sure there's a single Kamen Rider that knowingly puts setting or story ahead of character. Some of that is because there probably isn't a TV writer who wouldn't prefer to write dramatic dialogue than craft a story; and some of it is because characters sell toys, but story doesn't.

That said!

Of the ones I've seen, I'd say that Gaim and Build have some of the most epic stories of any Kamen Riders. They've got season-long stories with multiple discrete phases, and little in the way of disposable one-offs. (Give or take Sentai crossovers with weird train kids or the random appearance of a blue and red robot man.) Other seasons may have huge villain plots, but Build and Gaim really foreground those elements in a way that, say, Wizard doesn't.

Definitely Gaim. It was very short on character compared to its plotting. Saber's sort of starting to look that way, too

Maybe the Showa era? The show was a lot more about episodic fights against the current bad guy of the week back then. Character development was pretty minimal.

Do the shf contract monsters scale ok-ish with the dragon knight figma?

The figma and shfs are basically the same scale, so...

I am sad Zero-One didn't have something so we could have this specific gimmick happen for the fourth year in a row.

The mobage game, Kamen Rider City Wars, looks like it'll be shutting down servers in a month or so. I've been playing this game on and off for a bit (I started I think sometime around Zero-One episode 40 was airing), and its been a mindless but enjoyable-enough little app where I can make rider 3D models (the ones that are playable anyway) punch things on my phone. Before it fades away forever soon, I felt like putting out some random screenshots I took over my time playing.

Purple is the most dangerous colour.

A classic trio of Riders! Nothing strange here!
