If only the franchise were doing winter crossover movies at this point, I'm sure we'd've gotten some Gatack/Rod Form confusion. It's our loss! Our only hope is Rider Time: Gatack vs Only One Den-O Suit.

But I will say that the actor playing Daiki is someone you’ll be seeing a lot more of come the Summer of Inoue.

Neat! The kid who played Daiki was actually pretty good for a younger actor (made some interesting choices with body language and delivery, I thought), so I'm not surprised they'd want to bring him back for a larger role in a later show.

It's not that memorable of a story? Beyond the introduction of Urataros, it's a none-too-sturdy Den-O adventure that pushes Ryotaro to the distant background.

It's also a story where the Crab Imagin is the one who's most responsible for improving Daiki's life, which is something I was thinking about this morning that is utterly bizarre. The big thing for Daiki's character is that he blew some kick in a soccer game, and now he doesn't deal with that failure well. He won't support his teammates, and he's jealous that they get to play when he's benched. But when the Crab Imagin goes back in time, he appears right before Daiki's kick, so Daiki never fails. There's no missed kick, nothing for Daiki to learn from or overcome. He doesn't get benched, even. It's 100% thanks to a monster showing up and almost murdering everyone in the past that Daiki is happy and healed in the present.

That is some insane plotting.
