[Kamen Rider Die]

I can't... I can't stop thinking about this.

If Takumi's been an Orphnoch all this time, all of the Team Faiz and Team Orphnoch stuff, the duality of the show, snaps into focus. It's not two different groups grappling with how to navigate a world that codifies different types of people as Good or Bad. It's six other characters acting as a prism, showcasing all of Takumi's hopes and fears. Everyone else, they're an example of what he wants, or what he fears, or what he fears wanting. It's those things I liked about that earlier Yuka story, her inability to articulate her own identity, but that's what the whole show has been about.

THIS SHOW! It was pretty great, and now I find out it's secretly been exceptional!
