Ah, so the King will bring some stuff up later, you haven't seen the last of him, and the purple medals lead into the real payoff.

To be fair with how utterly bland and uninteresting I found the show before Date, I really wasn't paying much attention. I guess now the show actually has identity and stuff that is actually interesting to watch I am paying attention so I'm bound to be a bit confused.

This is also a possibility.

Still though, a huge part of your explanation rests on 'because magic' which is better known as hand waving.

Except it's not and it doesn't. Magic factors in only to how the Greed were created and expalins where their abilities come from (though the abilities themselves, while also magic based, aren't "do whatever you want" powers) how the OOO driver works.

It's magic with rules. It's used sparingly in the show as an actual excuse and always comes "from something." A lot of what the Greed are about and what happens is about the evolution of the Medals and just life in general.

The writers give too much information and too much information that is poorly thought out.

But it's NOT poorly thought-out. Again, It's been a while since I've seen OOO's second half so I don't know exactly when it happens, but it is all explained and is not thought out poorly.

The only things that were poorly plotted was Lost-Ankh (aside from the ingongruities with the story I just felt he overstayed his welcome) and somethign near the end which I don't want to spoil it becuse it's half cool half "huh?"

And of course, there's the final episode, which is probably one of the best Kamen Rider finales.
