The other, kind of sad thing, is that while Kamen Rider Den-O will return in, like, a lot of stuff, this is the final time we'll see the whole crew together. The Taros are good, but the human cast members start appearing more sporadically and some characters, like Kohana, are just gone after this point.

Yeah, I want to say that the later appearances I saw were fractions of the cast. Pretty sure Den-OOO was the Taros, Kotaro, Naomi, Owner, that was it. While it's a little sad they don't all get to keep showing up, maybe that's okay? It's ironic that they'd stop being a full team after the proof-of-concept of Episode Yellow, but, like, it's been two years. We got plenty! Actual Ryotaro shows back up in a decade! Momo eventually teams up with Zolda, and I am honestly thrilled to re-experience that movie in a few weeks!

But, yeah, still a little sad that they couldn't keep doing this every summer forever.

Other people have brought that up as a lure, but it's actually the opposite: stringing dudes up on crosses is way less cool if it happens too regularly. It's like... it's like eating Halloween candy. If you're eating a bunch of candy at the end of the October as a special treat, it's great! If you're eating candy everyday, it both ruins Halloween and could lead to diabetes.

I am saying that I need my crucifixions to be special, or I don't enjoy them. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
