Everybody here acknowledges that Riders are the most marketable and enticing part of the franchise. But it doesn't mean that their individual characters, in respect to the story, should be held up to a higher standard than any other character. Riders don't have to do anything but be cool and look cool unless the plot requires them to be explored further. And correction; each Kamen Rider series is named after a singular Rider, not him and his supporting cast of Riders.


It's just a silly argument overall. It's like arguing that Dean Thomas from Harry Potter should be looked at more critically than Harry's Aunt and Uncle because he's a wizard and the entire franchise is about wizardry.
