Also what about Kitaoka and Goro, they left the house without locking it that Asakura can get in and ransack his house? There's a lot I want to talk about for this episode. And besides that, are there actually any deeper reasons for Kitaoka forbidding Goro ramming Asakura?

Oh, I really enjoy amusement park scenes. I think it's a way to inject some levity during a series... despite the fact that it seems like only terrible things happen when Riders go to an amusement park. Kobayashi, yeah, there's some pretty memorable PuToTyra stuff in OOO from an amusement park episode. One of my favorite Kamen Rider side-stories is that Gorider thing, and that's all at the amusement park. I think it's a pretty neat location to shoot at.

The dogs thing... it's cute? It's a cute little scene. It was a way to puncture the tension in the scene, and it's funny to see those characters get scared of a Very Good Boy, but otherwise I guess it didn't make that much of an impression on me.

So you think that being mopey is punishing themselves. And the question involved Ren and Shinji too (no relative relation), hence "folks". Amusement park becomes big irony for Riders as it's more of a toll park to them. Someone teach future Riders to avoid them! Also forgot to mention this but not only Shinji teasing Ren's dog fear and Yui's childish, damn Yui too for teasing Shinji as slow yet asks him to wait (where when she catches up potentially him treated as slow again).

Dunno if I missed your point but probably it's just a coincidence that most Mirror World fight scenes happen in a place where vehicles are all parked, won't be moved by anyone.

I think that's the whole reason Shiro's handing out Survives, to take a dangerous situation and make it even more dangerous. It's what I like about how the Survive card is presented. It seems like a lifeline, but it's an incitement to greater violence.

Fair enough.
