I think it has to do with what he tells Goro just afterwards, that he knows Goro wants to protect him, but Asakura is something only Kitaoka can deal with. To me, he sees the fear and anger that Goro's struggling with, and wants to take that off of his plate. Like, it's sweet that Goro is going to try to run Asakura over, but Kitaoka will take it from here.

Die, from crossover movies like Den-O x OOO or the various Super Hero Taisens or anything else, what's your impression of certain Heisei 1 riders before you get to them?

It's really hard for me to form an opinion on them, because they're almost always presented in a Your Favorites Are Finally Back way, and I'm missing a year's worth of crucial context for their reappearance. Like, Faiz (I think?) has a whole subplot in one movie with X (I think?) but it's all about how Faiz was left after his show ended, and, like, I got no feelings about that? Even when Legacy Riders have a few scenes, I don't get a lot more from it than when it's just the suits showing up for a big brawl.

I'm actually sort-of looking forward to eventually rewatching all of those movies, to finally get the in-jokes and references and resolutions that went over my head before. Especially Sangou. I can't wait to watch his show and then get his whole thing. I don't normally truck with Showa, but that dude must've had an awesome TV series.
