Yeah, haven't watched MM, so I have no idea what you're talking about. And by the sound of that plot, a) it's been done before in other series, and b) it's not a Rider series, so it's hard to compare to how Gaim was written for the ending.

However, I do like your version of ending, that would have been as equally marketable for future Rider wars to come. Note how I worded that.

He's honestly deserving of a series all by himself. Would love if he became the main Gaim representative in crossovers.

Total agreement. I'd watch a separate series with him.

On another note, I also think the tie-ins were heavy handed, but when you have an ultra popular season of Kamen Rider to work upon, you want as many marketable tie ins as you can get to sell other properties. Plus, it didn't help that we had real world sports event to kludge up this years airings. There may have been more episodes requested for production without them, we'll never know.

But we do have some hope with the eventual crossover movies, etc. If I had my druthers about a crossover with KR Michelin (Drive) though, it wouldn't be with Katsura Kouta (#badwig). I'd rather have Oren or Micchy or Jounichi with the lead. Or even Takatora. Although, I'm sure it'll just be some alternate 'futbol' universe version of Kouta.
