There's some good stuff still ahead, but there are also a lot of signs that things were very much being made up on the fly.

It doesn't surprise me that they're way off of whatever plan this how might've started with (you would never pace a season like this on purpose), but I was sort of intrigued by how the production team leaned into that concept. They've run out of road, and now they are in the wilderness. What does that mean for Tsukasa? What does it mean for the mission he was given? The execution may not've been as tight as I might want/expect (well, want), but I thought this story was bringing up some interesting questions.

It was actually a nice coincidence to run out of contributors on the story where Tsukasa runs out of new Riders to team up with. I thought I was the Tsukasa in that comparison, but apparently I'm the Otoya? Well, I've been called worse.

(Also! AkibaSilver doesn't need to be told this, since they'll be back to chat about an upcoming two-parter, but there will be more collaborators for some of the upcoming stories! Some returning faces, at least one new face. I'm doing the best I can!)

Also, his hair wasn't great in this story? Just sort of badly styled. Even his hair is giving up this time out!
