This was definitely the strongest part of Faiz to me, even if yeah, I really do wish that they'd give at least a throwaway line to where their new tech came from. But I guess I was prepared for that after Kaixa suddenly had a sidecar bike drive up to him that straight up turned into a Sentai mech and not even Keitarou thought that was worth mentioning.

Anyway, uh, yeah. This is where the strongest part of Faiz lay, and why I wish the show focused on Takumi and Kiba a lot more and why I wish it went different places with it. Their dynamic is so fascinating even if their mistaking each other for the enemy does get a bit tiring, and I just adore the idea of the beat-up-monsters-save-the-day-our-hero-kamen-rider formula getting subverted by the actual monster of the week being arguably the bigger hero here, and how Faiz should be questioning things a lot more.

Also, shoutout to that Pizza guy, who I was so glad didn't die and I was kinda confused didn't show up again. I liked him a lot and I swear I wish half of my bosses were as nice as him.
