Wow, that worked out perfectly in your Chicago time!

I loved the Faiz stuff in this arc. Really I did. I just think it could've been better if there was more time dedicated to it, instead of Diend. His blue eyes though, yeah, they don't stand out at all on his blue suit and you can only see them if you're actively looking for them.

I was about to bring that up, but Die moved on to the next point of discussion before I got a chance. I was hoping Inoue being the voice might have implied it was an insert for Decade.

You're just a passing through Kamen Rider in the World of TokuNation.

I thought Lupinranger was a pretty intriguing deconstruction of the phantom theme genre, with Patranger serving as the more conventional lawful good altruistic heroes to challenge their moral code. I agree that Diend and Gokaiger play it too straight though.

Though I will say that Diend does demonstrate how the Final Form Ride gimmick can be used without the Rider being present.

So far, I think everybody's been predictable except for DreamSword. I have no idea who could be doing Agito though, so I look forward to finding out.

Ride The Wind, man, such a great song! Not as much as I love Cyclone Effect and Supernova, but it's probably in the top 10 for me, at least. I figure me throwing that ranking out there this time would be less redundant than me just repeating how much I love Faiz.
