Ooh boy, where do I start?

The whole "cross of fire" concept in Kamen Rider, where all the Riders get their powers from the same source as the villains they fight, is something that really appeals to me. It's this idea of choice and free will, that being a good or bad person isn't determined by your origins or what other people want you to be, but by what you choose to do. That's something I fully believe myself (with the caveat that not all of someone's actions are really their own choice), so it makes me happy to see stories that take it so much to heart.

On a more practical level, it also means there's only one new fantastic or science-fictional concept that needs to be introduced and explained each season, which (usually) makes for smoother storytelling.
