I absolutely hated Kyosuke Kiriya, but...

This is honestly perfect. Asumu chose to abandon the path of Oni to become a doctor. Hibiki accepted that. "Being an Oni isn't the only way to follow in my shoes."

But we know Kiriya continued down that path. We finally get to see where he ultimately ended up. It seems he has inherited the role of Hibiki. We'll see if he has improved as a person.

Todoroki was a junior under the eye of Zanki. Hibiki's theme was passing down knowledge through generations. This works extraordinarily well on a thematic level.

Also, it's a very clever workaround regarding actor situations. Hibiki's actor has bad relations with TV Asahi after a scandal and Asumu's actor has retired from the industry. So this is the best we could've gotten regardless.

And at least it means we get to see the Hibiki suit in action as well (though I wish they made a new suit for Kiriya).

Also, I wonder if this means we won't be getting Zeronos in the Den-O tribute? Or will they end up double dipping for the same actor?
