Though dunno if it's actually deserved.

Depends on how Zeztz performs compared to his previous works to see if he can turn the hate around, but either way, I'd rather not still be talking about him this time in 2028. He needs to take a long break or else Reiwa Rider will become too monotonous with his favorite tropes.

I guess people don't bring up Saki since she was already dead from the start. Personally, I think Izu generally had a good arc, but the epilogue and summer movie diminished it for me.

Well, the producer has the last word after all. Same reason why Zack survived Gaim and Yukimi survived Revice, as the writers wanted to kill them and the producers decided that was unnecessary. If Takahashi had his way, he would've killed Sara sooner, but Takebe's insistence allowed the beacon of hope to reach her peak. For conflicting productions, I guess we just have to keep paying attention to those helpful blogs.

Isamu even speaks for the audience towards Yua: "I won't listen to a damn word you say until you tell me what you're fighting for!"
