Agreed. That's why I was glad when Gotou didn't become Birth right away.

BTW, I decided to return to Wizard since I kind of felt bad for just forgetting it like that.

Then I remember Shampoo and his overall "what in the fucking blue negaverse hell were they thinking?"-ness reminds me exactly why I forgot.

Considering how Fourze was, and how Wizard is, I'm kind of afraid that Kamen Rider is getting a bit... ridiculous. W and OOO managed to be light-hearted without being pandering or annoying, but this is getting too much. I really think every additional cast member thrown into the central plot (the "in the know" group) weakens it. In W we basically had just three, then four, good guys related to the central plot. (and even then, Philip and Shotaro were a single detective) In OOO we had five counting Hina and Date and Brotou, but that was lessened by the Birth pair being a team that functioned as one. Wizard has, like, five people already and I haven't even gotten to Beast. Plus, unlike those other post-Decade shows I've watched, only Hairytoes is useful in any way being the rider. So we've got four people who are essentially baggage, two without any crutch to fall back on.
