It's a long explanation, and I shouldn't have brought it up since it's not 100% relevant and it'd kind-of derail things. (I mean, What Is The Theme Of Kamen Rider is sort-of not this thread's mandate?) I've gotta think a bit more about it, and then it'll land in the General Thoughts thread for people to pick it apart.

Short version, I think the show has evolved out of Fighting Darkness With Darkness and more into trying to use the hero's darkness to say something about the universality of darkness, and how seeing that it in one another allows us to stop viewing other people as monsters and more as someone that can be reached with empathy.

This is just my take, though! Me talking about this in another thread will have a bunch of disclaimers to that effect!
