I mean, it totally would've been me, if someone else didn't beat me to it.

Yes. Good. Do more of this.

Man, this show must have set one high bar to clear then, because Scissors isn't minor, and he's sure as heck not forgettable. Actually, you know what? I don't know how often I'll be busting these out, but since I've already got my opinions on like everything in Ryuki written down, I'm just gonna quote my existing eulogy for the guy:

This story arc is really the first time Ryuki makes it clear how things are going to go. Before this, for all the fuss they make, Ren and Shinji going at it doesn't seem too different from Agito's Riders butting heads, right? What's the big deal? And then along comes this guy, who is called a Kamen Rider despite being a serial killing psychopath, and manages to get himself killed horribly shortly after his debut. This one character essentially completely rewrote the book on what a Kamen Rider was all by himself. So even if Cronus had way more endurance, even if Evol was more successful in his goals, or even if Duke was more of a jerk, they all owe something to this guy. So pay your respects, alright?

So hopefully we all understand now that Scissors is the s***. Do you have any idea how excited I was for Die to get to these episodes? Especially after seeing that "NO MORE COP STORIES" remark.
