I?m talking eating puzzle pieces, running away to live on a houseboat, suddenly dressing like the bad boy in an idol group, hanging out with milk drinkers, that kind of shit. You find the guy with dead parents and/or girlfriend trauma, you?ve found yourself a Kamen Rider.?

Now I just want a version of Fourze that's all the little kids from Heisei Phase 1 as grizzled teens.

There's always time to explore deeper conflict between the starting KRC members later on, after they've each had their introductions.

I mean, the basic problem is that the show spends two weeks on a single character's journey, and then shunts them into the larger group with a big ol' checkmark next to their name because we immediately need to focus on a new cast member. This'll all sort itself out once the KRC is done, like I said, but it makes the quick transition from CARE ABOUT SHUN to SHUN IS DONE kind of funny, and the episode a little weird for it.
