A lot of deliveries are being delayed as a result of the covid-19 outbreak. Please be patient! I'm sure OmegaEclipse is doing their best.

Not sure whether self-centered jerk is where I would have gone with it, but it does break all that up and we get more complex and varied protagonists from here on out. And having a group of monsters are secondary protagonists is definitely a different way to do things. It starts the trend of monsters as people who we get to know that many rider shows after this have done. Parad and Graphite owe a lot to this show, among others.

My avatar is a monster who chose to make art instead of doing evil (where my Rider Time: Cubi at, Toei), which is not just the most depressingly on-point description of myself that I've ever accidentally made, but it's also what I want from the monsters in Kamen Rider. I want dimensionality in all aspects of storytelling, and that includes the one- or two-episode chumps who usually just exist to be a cool suit that gets detonated.

So much of what Kamen Rider is about to me, empathy, needs multi-faceted antagonists to really work. The Orphnoch stuff so far, with Yuka and (especially) with Yuuji... it feels at times like the Very Serious a-plot to Team Faiz's Very Funny b-plot.

Some very exciting and unusual choices being made on a concept level with this show!
