Now that you've put it into terms of design consistency I do kind of get it, but I think once again I'll just have to disagree on terms of subjectivity. Cross-Z instantly looks like a Build design to me with the black undersuit, the style of the legs and lower body; and then especially the eyes adding in that little touch of crazy in what is otherwise a relatively reserved suit design.

Compared to the likes of Specter and Brave I can kind of get it though; especially when Cross-Z is like an 'enhanced' version of a Build suit rather than just a different style of the suit like Baron or just being a completely different thing that still clearly has the same thing like Meteor and Beast screaming Space and Mage respectively -- and that extends to Banjou's Henshin item, being an 'enhancer' of the gimmick item rather than just being a Different gimmick item or a new belt entirely. It still works for me though, so I'll mildly agree to disagree


(though, also: Birth?)

Oh, man, "does a suit work and/or look cool" is the most subjective Kamen Rider thing to talk about, so it's completely no problem to like it just because. Although, it's not really "just because", since you make a lot of good points regarding the base suit and the henshin tying it together. Maybe it'll grow on me? If it comes back?

As for Birth, he totally fits in with the coins/vending aesthetic of OOO, since he's a gashapon! That little *POP* his henshin makes is never not funny to me.
