At this rate, you might as well complain about the other 50 million tropes we see in Rider, such as the "Big Bad of the series is secretly one of the character's dad" that we've seen since W that was repeated with Wizard, Drive, Ex-Aid and even Build

Build has enough of a unique storyline to borrow some aspects of previous seasons I feel.


Onto the episode, I actually like it a lot, if only because you could really believe that Banjo is the main protagonist of the series. He's probably one of the most well-developed and important secondary Riders we've seen in the franchise. And I really don't think this is the last we see of Souichi. You've got to remember Souichi has had stretches of episodes where he doesn't appear outside of the suit. I figure the actor probably has other things going on, so they keep finding ways to work around his schedule.

Plus with him being Misora's dad and all, this really doesn't feel like a "death" episode for such a major character. He'll be back. Likely just in time for Blackhole form.
