This episode, along with the whole "Riders were erased from history, but we're cool with that" nature of the Ridewatches are big factors in why I started getting such a negative view of Zi-O from pretty early on.

I feel like managing to grab Main Riders and fumbling their usage is more a disappointment than not getting anyone/only getting 1-2 side characters and making the most of of it. Personally, I don't think returning Riders necessarily have to transform to be a good Legend Rider appearance. (Hiiro's involvement in the Ex-Aid arc is one of my favorites because of how well he was used in that story, and I don't even like him or Ex-Aid!) But considering it was Faiz's 15th anniversary, they could've at least thrown a bigger bone than a few callbacks? Even if they only transformed to immediately get wiped by Another Fourze/Faiz, it wouldve been nice, yknow? It's easily Zi-O's second worst usage of Legend Riders.
