And this is just a dumb Japanese kids show about men in funny costumes fight each other and sell toys! Which honestly, it's because of that, is why I love Kamen Rider and Tokusatsu in general, no matter what it decides to do, it's done in a fun way, and more often than not, in a better way than I've seen most other things try to do.

Yeah, for sure. It's easy to read this thread like I'm leaning forward in my chair, tenting my fingers as I squint and say Hmm Yes What An Incisive Observation About The Dehumanizing Effects Of Capitalism. I mean, sometimes! But I'm mostly just laughing at funny gags and marvelling at explosive action. Always fun to think about these stories in the aftermath, but it's equally fun to watch them in the moment.

But with the combination of Die talking about Zero-One (a series about leaping to your future), everyone's ever growing passion in this forum, and a certain episode in a Rider series that Die WILL touch later, somehow that regained my strength and passion back to be active in this forum. I can't stress how much everyone in this forum and the Rider franchise and the community itself gave me what I had missed and lost in these past few years.

Thanks for your contributions! And your English is great! Probably, uh, better than mine!

Your words and writing HAVE the power to not only change world but also give strength to some people like me. Keep up the good work and see you and everyone else later!

That's incredibly sweet of you to say. I have a hard time accepting praise gracefully, but I'll try and refrain from deflecting with self-deprecation.

And I'm not going anywhere, really. Some life stuff is going to make things hectic for a bit, but my current plan is to be back in the beginning of November to do the dozen or so post-show pieces of Zero-One content (movie, stage show, V-Cins, Fan Club specials, etc.). Then the holidays are going to hit, and things are going to get hectic again, but I plan to start Saber right after the New Year. I'm not nearly done talking about Kamen Rider with you folks!
