[Kamen Rider Die]

2: Spectre is one of the best secondary riders.
3: Once you get to the final reason of where Makoto, Kanon, and Alain come from, it's not a bad premise. You just wonder why you had to go so far into the series to get to that point.
4: Onari is not annoying. He's comic relief like a boss. I still hear his screams. And Akari is a female character that isn't a Mary Sue like some of the prior rider series.
5: Ignore the OVAs and other media unless you really just want to torture yourself. The closure in current Zi-O helps a touch, but not much.
6: Bad writing and main characterizations make Takeru kind of one of the weakest Riders from the Heisei era. His ambition isn't to live again, but to make his life burn bright, while he's dead. That makes absolutely no sense to me.
7: Not nearly enough time with the Eyecon ghosts.
8: I don't care how tough a person you are, you're allowed to cry at the Takoyaki episode.
9: Grateful is shamelessly overpowered, even though Boost was the better suit design.

2. Specter is pretty great! He'd definitely make my top 5, for sure. (I don't know that any secondary rider is going to top Birth for me, but time will tell.)

4. Agree to disagree! He's still less awful than Brave's dad in Ex-Aid, so it's not like he's the worst comic relief character I've seen.

9. Boost is an awesome design. Grateful, like a lot of upgrade suits, is just too busy for me. Like, Wizard Infinity Style is maybe my favorite upgrade suit: clean, thematically appropriate, looks premium.
