I didn't really think that, mainly because it would be really awkward, and I doubt Shotaro would've been down for that

And I agree. But I'd save it until Nago gets Rising. Then you can show both on screen together, Megumi getting her own IXA gear and Nago getting Rising. Plus it keeps the "IXA needs to be a guy because little boy demographic" thing while also giving us a badass lady Rider. And with Yuri, just give her more IXA moments in the 80's and justify her not immediately getting IXA then because of "you're better for Aozora when you aren't testing power armor that has a tendency to explode but once we work out that bug you can IXA all you want."

Also show Yuri's death. And make it a badass "killed saving 10-year-old Megumi from a Fangire attack which leads to Aozora beginning her Training, even showing that Yuri and Megumi are part of a special covert task force with several members meant to be able to fend off Fangire on a moment's notice until IXA can dispactch." I think that'd work nicely.

The first episode of Blade has some weird moments that don't really continue in to the rest of the series. Best to just shrug it off and keep moving forward

I guess that would be a fair trade off. I think Yuri getting more Ixa moments in the 80's would be what I want most. I was really disappointed how she only got that knife, but did so well, and yet the Ixa armor was given to someone else so she ended up getting sidelined too often because a knife is still just a knife, even if it's a knife-whip.

Well, Philip passes for a woman so easily I doubt they'd have to get a new actor.
