[Switchblade]

The Ryoko and Shinji story didn't do much for me, to be honest. It's not a bad story per se, but do you remember my issue with Biggie's story being recycled from Jetman? My issue with this story is that several aspects of the love story are not necessarily identical to, but at least very similar to a subplot from Kamen Rider the First. I won't go into spoilers in case your love for Inoue ever overcomes your Showa resistance to try out a Kamen Rider movie that's mostly a romance drama (and its bonkers sequel: Kamen Rider as a mid-00s J-horror), but there's a lot of tonal similarity between these episodes and an irritatingly large percentage of The First's run time.
