I feel that in Drive, that plot point came at the perfect time. It was in the middle of the show where the stakes were starting to get higher and after Shinnosuke was kinda starting to become a less interesting character than Gou or Chase. Plus, it set up two great midseason villains.

That plot twist doesn't really do much for Ghost, at least for me, seeing as we're like 2 episodes from the official series finale. Once again, it could pay off, but as I've said in numerous topics, it just feels like it's too little, too late. I wish they got the ball rolling on this stuff like 10 episodes ago.

I was actually kind of worried I was laying it on a bit thick there. Really sorry if anybody was offended. I never said I wanted anyone to shut up though! I actually really like hearing everyone's opinions on Ghost, even though I pretty massively disagree with most of them.

No foul, man. Trust me, I'm a fan of Kamen Rider Faiz a series that I'm willing to bet most people hate, so I know what it feels like to have a show that you're passionate about that nobody else really seems to dig.

I don't necessarily feel as much of a strong dislike for Ghost as some of the other guys do, for me, it's just a lot of wasted potential, but I'm glad you can see enjoyment out of this show where I can't.
