Yeah, I always liked how Asumu's story wasn't about directly following in Hibiki's footsteps and becoming an Oni. The ending of Hibiki was super meta, in the ways it talked about putting Kamen Rider away and maybe coming back to it someday, or just in shows ending and fans moving on to the next one. The lesson Kamen Rider shows teach kids isn't literally How To Be A Kamen Rider, and so it shouldn't be that way for Asumu.
