I guess that's not too surprising if the last time you watched a show was over a decade ago? Assuming you haven't gone back to it since it aired, anyway. I've definitely rewatched a few Rider shows myself, with less of a gap than that, and still been surprised to see some story again that basically completely slipped my mind.

If I hadn?t been told, I wouldn?t have recognised the same actress (though that?s nothing new. Unless I?m told in advance, I have trouble recognising Japanese actors in things)

She does a great job in these ones! And really, seeing her here also makes me appreciate more in retrospect what a great job she did in Den-O too.

This isn't the only case where an intelligence part of the team isn't shown in how they gather info, just them showing up and giving info on other characters, so dunno if it'd be harder to be implemented.

Something like Rinko showing up with info on Takagi is 100% there more for narrative convenience than for actual dramatic purposes, but also, like, I think that's entirely fair? You can broadly assume how she might've learned everything she did, and spending time answering that question would arguably distract from the real drama going on, whereas glossing over it makes *more* time for the characters and the conflicts that are meant to be at the center of the plot.
