It's not his company or position to decide what to do with funding, and even if it was I think he'd totally take every advantage he could.

I also don't think Foundation X providing funding takes away from the shows actual villains. It just makes them a different villain, in the background, that I'd like to see more of.

Exactly. It makes them feel like the 'bigger bad' as it were, and for some shows (like W), that works. But Gaim was extremely self-contained - not even crossing over with Drive in any way outside of the Movie War (when every other Phase II Heisei Rider has cameo'd in the previous Riders last episode(s) or summer movie) and already had the Helheim Forest/DJ Sagara.

Ryoma 'needing' Foundation X in any way feels very wrong, and I highly doubt Takatora would agree to work with them either.
