Build has a lot of homage/nods built into it. So the fact Kuuga and OOO had don that makes it more likely really, as a throwback to them. Same as how damaged helmets to see the person in the suit became a thing for many series in Sentai and Rider for a bit. Like Garren's helmet in Blade. Humanizing the struggle in the last battle is a common tactic to create emotional oomph and elevate stakes to the viewer. Removing that distance the armor creates because of how it shields you from seeing the character underneath.

As much as how much I love shouichi's actor acting. Shouichi is ruin by the evolt's persona since it's just a disguise. It would make sense if they just make shouichi the villain or the real shouichi is the one that helped Sento before Evolt takes over his body. I wasn't a fan of the Evolt backstory and twist. The 10 years planning with the father thing was dumb since it discredit and retcon the mad devil scientist creations. It would be more effective to say shouichi was influence by Evolt to change like the prime minsters hit with the light, but he still secretly cares for Misora and Sento before Evolt fully awaken and take over his body. This should be the plot twist for Evolt driver debut. The fight between mentor and Sento would be excellent.

I doubt they can pull off a good punching fight like Kuuga. Now, I rather Ryuga is Evolt for the finale since he's flying off. I guess Evolt survived and it would make more sense if he possess him to fight Sentou. The fight can help Ryuga reawaken to his senses and purge Evolt out probably with the rabbit dragon form. It would be a nice call back to how Sento and Ryuga used to comically fight each other.
