Hypothetically, yeah. Hard to think of examples for this though. Dan Kuroto doesn't seem to have attachments to main characters other than Asuna.

Except that unlike Dr. Maki, I also celebrate life, which death is a part of. So unless the sufferer is so ill that they cannot fight to the death, then I cannot condone suicide.

No way, the OOO edition was much better!

Welcome! I am also a fan of the movie you're named after.

Looks like a mix of both. Dente and Nyelve are definitely working with mechanical augmentations.

Just so they could, what, eventually impress a plaza full of civilians when people's residual alternate-reality memories of Kamen Riders as good guys magically reincarnated a couple dozen Riders who never existed in this reality? This does not seem like either a great plan or a fair trade-off!

When you put it like that, it sounds way more ridiculous than I remember! Maybe I've become so accustomed to Yonemura's nonsense that this actually feels mild by comparison. How would you compare it to Pretty Den-O, which had a similar plot twist?

And it?s for sure heading somewhere, as this episode?s concluding shot has the trio of Kazari, Ankh Lost, and the now officially evil Dr. Maki heading off with an army of Candroids and one Hieronymus Bosch-esque Greeed painting to go enact some villainy. Great way to establish a new status quo!

I recall that scene at the end where they stand menacingly on a bridge (at sunset?) looking down at Eiji and Ankh. I thought it was pretty memorable for how it emphasized their villainous appearance in an ominous way.

Die, will you be covering the OOO 10th anniversary movie? I must say, I have some opinions about it, and I doubt I'm alone in that regard.

Can confirm that I also have opinions about it and I totally look forward to resurrecting them when the time comes!

I think Uva got the last laugh though, since he got away with Ankh's one and only Condol Medal, thus preventing OOO from using Tajadol. You can tell that Ankh was ticked off about losing that Medal, in contrast to Uva's nonchalance about the exchange.

Maybe not as much as some others, but it does still happen. There's no such thing as a perfect show and anybody who claims otherwise is using hyperbole, even if they don't realize it.

Other than Latorartar, Putotyra is my favorite Combo for sure! I love the use of dinosaur motifs, the purple on white and the ice element! While it comes at the cost of compatibility with other Medals, I think this results in a suit that looks awesome and complete on its own.

Was it even a debate at this point in the show though? As I understand, the argument for Tajadol over Putotyra was spawned by something that occurs in the finale, which is more familiar these days due to ALMIGHTY Saber and Gotchard SteamHopper Ultima. Putotyra's debut here actually seems pretty expected for a Final Form.
