Or it means that the integral part of her character as a rhythm game bugster - she was created for friendship and peace. Though then again tbh I dislike on how people equate sweet b̶o̶y̶ girl with being pacifistic with letting themselves being used as a punching bag.

While there’s a heartfelt story here about Hana trying to save a lost and brainwashed woman in the same way that Sakura once saved her, and it’s genuinely good, I sort of can’t care too much about it. This is 100% my failing, and not the show’s. Show’s good! Show did a good job telling a different kind of story about Hana and Sakura! It’s just… all of the fan service, you guys. Sakamoto had my goddamn number on this one.

Like Saber Trio of Deep Sins, this one establishes how someone approaching you in a two-faced way should be looked in positive light regarding the brief and fabricated "warmth" they gave to convince you that it's genuine, uhh dunno about another move of giving villains a slap in the wrist outcome here. While Mitsuko Fujimoto a.k.a Ms. Titan is the main culprit, Yuriko would still be complicit as well - and Aguilera in the main series has stated that she wants to face the consequences of her actions against Orteca's virtue signaling. Though it's clearly a tease joke, Sakura claiming that she's the big sis cuz she's taller, that's my fear in real life of having younger people mistreat me due to height.

I love that she doesn’t completely know what’s going on or why she’s supposed to be there, but she showed up because she probably just wants to hang out with some ladies away from her Time Kids. This is like the Kamen Rider equivalent of a book club; instead of wine, it’s monster detonations.

Shieri Ohata is Tsukuyomi's actress, who disappeared from trace since April 2022, with her agency site and social media account got closed, of which the filming takes place in February, thus explaining the worry. I still don't get if Time Mom is supposed to be something of praise or mockery, considering I thought the view of female characters that aren't moms (unlike Yukimi) but has maternal qualities are bleak here. And regarding Tsukuyomi, she has shorter hair here, but you haven't followed another media that features her in-between last Zi-O time and this one.

And Lovekov finally shows up! And gets to launch a special attack with Aguilera on her back! And then the big fight with the final boss happens to Cherry-ish, the best song in all of Revice!

Yeah... the reason why Kanon isn't a Rider here, though IRL reason was due to the Kanon Specter suit being disassembled and used on parts for other suits, the explanation in-series here is patronizing and misogynistic to have Makoto just being overprotective on her for an account of being girl, despite her contradicting it by showing that the guards changing into not making much difference to her (and Sawa). Zero-Two was a final form, and it's lowkey downgraded to stand on an equal footing with other base form female Riders.
