It's interesting, because those scenes aren't the Dr Pac-Man-style All Forms showcase; it's just a few weird suits? I mean, yeah, Kachidoki and Kiwami and Mugen and Tajador and Cosmic States... but also Grateful? And Giant Foot? And Gatakiriba? And Newton?! Ridiculous.

It's fun, though. It makes these projects feel a little more personal, like someone in the stunt team was like Finally, NEWTON.

Because you've got this in late 2017, Memory of Heroez came out in 2020 and now... because I don't trust Toei, you've got the OOO 10th Movie which I'm scared might end in a similar fashion?

I feel like you gotta end the OOO movie with bringing Ankh back for good. You gotta. They could pull the rug out from under us again, but eventually Eiji's outstretched hand has to pull Ankh back. If not now, then when?

(Also, I can almost guarantee that if the 10th Anniversary film doesn't definitively reunite Eiji and Ankh, they'll not-reunite them in a way where I'll go That Was The Right Ending.)
