There is absolutely no hiding that Kamen Rider...and Super Sentai... and just about every other Tokusatsu is a merchandise driven show and, for all the flaws that this entails, there has to be good things about being a show like that. To start us off, I'll say that I really enjoy the creative weapons and equipment that they have to come up with every year. Swords are a dime a dozen in just about any medium no matter where you are, so I'm pretty impressed with just how many different way they can make such a common weapon unique.
