While the idea of a fully-formed Kamen Rider kicking ass and changing forms in the first episode is cool
in theory
, in practice I find myself enjoying origin debut episodes better. Mostly it's because the few Already Rider series I've seen tend to lean pretty heavy on The Hero Has A Devastating Secret That Will Change Everything as the reason why we can't see how they became a Rider. Shows where the hero gets their driver and does their Inaugural Henshin in the first episode, it's not that there's
no
secrets about them to be discovered later, it's that they're fairly minor and don't fundamentally alter the show. Or, at least, it doesn't feel like the show is waiting to tell you them? It's not a main element of what the show's
about
, anyway.
I don't know, there're probably a bunch of exceptions to my complaint, but I feel like Already Rider shows are frequently too backwards-looking, spending too long filling in Secret Origins, while New Rider shows are more forward-looking, racing to tell new stories and expand their worlds.
