Maybe saving the world is about defeating something that threatens the entire world (those who can/want destroy the world), and by defeating them, the world won't be destroyed by them, thus is saved.

Yuri also wanted to save the world, which was considered conventional heroism for his time, but by interacting with Touma, he realized that heroism had grown to become saving the people who live in the world, as the people are what make the world worth saving.

As mentioned by Die, saving the world can often be a tricky obsession for Secondary Riders. At worst, they can actually become the problem that the world needs saving from, like Tachibana, Kumon Kaito, Daiji and Keiwa, when their sense of justice becomes warped by what they see as being wrong with the world. It's good to have a vision for a better future, only as long as the present doesn't have to suffer for it.

The Tajador stuff is still criminally undercooked, which you just can?t do with poultry. It?s all sloppy, and I kind of stopped caring why.

I love the part where Tajadol briefly has green eyes before it gets ruined by more red.

A CONCLUSION:
Is this it for Mezool and Gamel? I honestly don?t remember.

Not sure if this is a rhetorical question? I wouldn't want to spoil if you don't want me to answer.

Ankh was literally born from desire, so it's like he doesn't know how to be anything else. It's a good contrast to Eiji, a secretly depressed martyr who doesn't know how to want for more. They need each other.

Where OOO is about the power of desire as a cornerstone of civilization, Birth is the raw avarice that undergirds the system. OOO is the spirit, Birth is the body. And so on, and so forth.

It's thematically appropriate, but I'll admit I'm not too fond of the suit design. Not that it's bad or anything like that, it's much better than Diend, but not as cool as Accel or Meteor.

I like him even more than DreamSword does.

And a future Tokusatsu role as well, with Iwanaga later becoming the new generation Uchuu Keiji Shaider.
