Like in this episode imagine that instead of Gai showing up with the two Horseshoe-Crab Raiders again, suddenly Aruto had to deal with the Buffalo Raider in front while the Panda Raider was sniping him from afar.

THIS IDEA IS SO GOOD I'M ALREADY ANGRY AT THE SHOW FOR NOT DOING IT!

Gai's already been trying to play up the Raiders as a tool of "justice" or whatever too, so it would work so well to have him "redeem" those other suits by making them into his lackeys. Like, seriously, ZAIA has like a million Progrise Keys, why are we having multiple people (apparently? I thought it was the same two guys too!) share a boring set of goon suits when we could be having a classic monster army scenario going on.

I mean, I've complained about this before, and maybe this is the Ultraman fan in me talking, but I think Kamen Rider is seriously underestimating the importance of having good monsters lately? It seems like the more and more forms the Riders get, the less room in the budget there is to make new monster suits each year, and that's a shame, because two random dudes with assault rifles is nowhere near as satisfying an opponent for a Rider to go up against as like, a lizard that spits corrosive acid, or some kind of armadillo monster with like, super tough skin that requires outside the box thinking to defeat.

It can be pretty much anything, but I'm telling you, that kind of stuff breathes so much extra life into a show like this. Imagine that kind of variety with Zero-One's kind of direction! It'd be amazing!
