Smart Lady gradually fades more and more into the background as the show goes on.

I kind of like Faiz himself. He's different from other riders because he doesn't want to be a hero, or at least not forced into the role like he is here. The suit looks cool, but I'm having trouble with the theme. I think it's suppose to be a zero, but he's Faiz shouldn't his theme be a "5" not a "0." Still cool to look at eitherway. Also love that his motorcycle is a Transformer...a stupid one at that.

Faiz's theme is based on the Greek letter phi: Φ. The rest of the Riders on the show follow a similar aesthetic: Kaixa is chi (X), Delta is delta (Δ), Psyga is psi (Ψ), and Orga is omega (Ω).

Takumi is pretty cool, but on my list of favorite Riders he's just somewhere in the middle. For some reason I always kind of forget he exists. Possibly because I tend to focus on the show's bad points and ignore the good ones. I really should try revisiting the show sometime and see if I still dislike it so much.

I love all of the Faiz suits; I think the show has one of the coolest aesthetics in the Heisei era. Faiz himself looks really nice, but Kaixa is one of the best damn Rider suits ever. My only complaint with these designs is that after seeing the SIC versions I love those so much that the show ones don't seem as cool anymore.
