Still going to watch it, but it does kind of feel like a rehash of Den-O and Decade mixed together even more now.

Was really hoping they'd throw some curve balls in and make something a bit more new. But the cautionary tale aspect of power corrupts is still an interesting approach at least to set up some shifts for later. So I can see why they went with the casting as it is. And it looks like we might get some other new riders by the second quarter. And it does feel like this is some setup for something bigger coming in the next series with some new concepts in the one after.

Am liking the future outfits though. Feels a little like a waste with Kyoko Okada's 80th birthday around the corner though. But at the same time, with the demon king/power corruption angle, does make sense to wrap up the era with the casting this way. So I can see why they went this way with it. Does feel like setup for the next to try something new, with some little things to set the tone for why that's needed from repeated character personalities.

Geiz wasn't going to be. That was kind of obvious. It was either Zi-O or a new rider later. And it looks like now from the trailer, one of the new rider's later is the direction they'll use. With maybe some changes in the next. Looks like they're still building up to that kind of transition from the trailer, but the trailer does make it feel like as creative choices go, they are going to look into it for a future series and do see why it's needed.
