- So I love how Dan Masamune is STILL the main villain up until the finale, because the past few Rider series have a habit of introducing a last minute Final Boss (Ghost had....whatever the hell that thing was, Drive had Gold Drive and Sigma Circular, although to be fair, Banno was awesome. Even Gaim had Kaito, who, while present for the entire series, only went through his face-heel turn during the last 3-4 episodes).

- I'm legitimately shocked that they remembered that only the Lvl 1 forms can separate a Bugster from a patient, mostly because I myself forgot since it's been so long since that's even been necessary. And really, it could have easily been handwaved away as the later forms simply having this ability by default to allow the Riders to use their most powerful forms, but they found a way to make even the joke forms useful in the penultimate episode.

- RIP Poppy and Parado . Ex-Aid giveth, Ex-Aid taketh. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see Kamen Rider Poppy one final time, but I love the way that both of their arcs developed (of course, we know now they're gonna show up again in the movie, but whatever).

- Build seems awesome. I hope they don't pull a Ghost and make Build seem super cool in this appearance, but have him be an annoying shit for his own show. Was kinda weird that Dan decided to, for whatever reason, fight in his Lvl 0 form instead of X-0 (likely JUST so they could have Build confuse him for Ex-Aid), but that's a very minor nitpick.
