Edit:My problem with writers forgetting about Takeru's ghost state is that I keep asking myself "Why is Takeru still a ghost?" because he really didn't really need to be a ghost after he was revived the second (first?) time.

Takeru's memory powers and his mission to connect the Heroic Eyecons could've been done without him being a ghost, because if Takeru needed to be a ghost for both of those things to happen then Ryu and Sennin's plan basically hinged on Takeru being killed, which does present an interesting storyline if that was the case.

Takeru's memory abilities are not good justification for him remaining a ghost, because it is touch-based for the most part.

Connecting the Heroic Eyecons could work as a justification for his ghost state what with him entering the eyecons to talk to them, but as shown with Ryoma, Himiko, Goemon, and Houdini they could've just had the Heroic Eyecons posses a random passerby to communicate with him.

Basically, it seems like he's still a ghost because "he is Kamen Rider Ghost" and that's it which would be fine if Makoto couldn't transform anymore after gaining his body back, because it would give a reason for why Takeru still needs to be a ghost.

I mean, I can at least remember once when he tried to use his spoopy ghost abilities after he got resurrected by his father. You know, in the little Houdini story where he possesses that girl. But I do get what you're saying. I does seem like they've forgot about the entire ghost thing at this point. It started out with him using his ghost powers a lot and then it showed up just enough to remind you they were there. Hopefully the Mugen Damashii form's infinity motif will also take away the countdown of how many days he has left, unless they have something really good in store when it reaches 0 this time.
