Well, I'm back to watching the show. General impressions:
- after the announcement of GGP, the show became much more typical, with its different characters / factions with their own interests, unreliable alliances and secrets from the past;
- Takahashi said he wanted to avoid riders being cliched, but he didn't avoid his own repetitions. JGP is literally the young brother of Kamen Rider Chronicles;
- Battles and effects are gorgeous;
- the truth about Ace in general terms was foreseen. But given how little progress he's made in finding his mother in 2,000 years, PunkJack proves to be an incredibly important character, because without him, Ace would still be wandering in the dark;
- Keiwa in all JGP (except for the last round, where he voices obvious things to Ace) can be removed and nothing will change. He didn’t even get spectacular fights, and the ninja’s abilities work according to the will of the plot. In general, I think if the show had been released ten years ago, both he and Neon would not have been riders, but simply support characters;
- Revealing the truth about Neon was interesting, but I don't think that drama works, given that she was unhappy in the family. In fact, as Kyuun said, it rather unties her hands, allowing her to finally leave the house. It seems to me that this would work much better with Keiwa. Yes, and his character of a selfless hero is much more suitable for being someone else's desire.
For example, Sarah, who lost her parents in the DGP, could well wish for a younger brother who would restore justice.
- Also, I think the show really enjoys making Neon suffer. So much so that she already has a swollen face and always red eyes, like the heroines of dramas. It seems Sh Ranger wanted a fun female rider. Neon seems to be a mockery of this idea, because, corresponding to it at first glance, in practice it almost always cries.
- Did Beroba or Nadge come up with the victory plan? Definitely not Michinaga, because he is not strong in inventions.
- Was it necessary to separate the Navigator and the Game Master into two different characters? And what was the essence of Girori's character other than artificially initiating the disclosure of secrets? That is, it was his hatred of Geats that finally revealed to Ace the truth about the DGP, which he did not know for two thousand years.
- Slightly disappointed that the Jamato's evolution has been reduced to them turning into consumed humans. I'd like to see them develop their own personalities.
- As for the Goddess of Creation, it seems to me that the approach here is much more fair: "She is for everyone what he needs" than in the case of Giff (where this, as for me, was only a projection of the audience). For Ace, she is a mother who needs to be saved, for Niram she is a volunteer, happy with her fate. Personally, I still do not rule out the possibility that she will prove to be the final evil.
