See, the reason I did notice is because I had to have this whole conversation with myself about that thread. I figured going with Masked Rider would match your Kuuga thread better, and to be frank I prefer having it translated, but I realized it wouldn't match up with me inevitably calling the franchise as a whole Kamen Rider a million times, so I gave up on that real quick. For what it's worth, the way you were doing it is how Bandai and Toei still handle the names to this day.

Making fun of TV-N's Faiz subs for saying nekojita when you've been saying "Henshin" for like five threads of this? Should I link Takumi's image song? Because it sounds an awful lot like a Double Standard going on here.

No, but seriously, I've been dreading you getting to this show for exactly this reason. This episode has one of the first errors I remember really getting under my skin. It's when Mari is trying to find out why Takumi is traveling, so she goes "can I ask you something?" Takumi's response to that, if you believe TV-Nihon, was "It'll need an answer, right?" I'm still trying to figure out what that even means. The actual line is a blunt, avoidant "Depends on the question", which is a way more Takumi thing to say, and also makes sense.

I don't know, that might seem pretty minor? Like, it's not an entire plot point being completely mangled or anything, but it's also more than just a clunky sentence. Faiz is a character-driven show with lots of snappy dialogue, and that error to me represents how pretty much all that nuance just gets sucked right out by the subs and replaced with a lot of nothing. You get the broad beats of the story without the little things that really make it click together. I think the reason the premiere came out okay is because a lot of that stuff is non-verbal there, like Takumi being introduced tapping on a menu instead of saying what he wants, or Mari scarfing down a meal in like five seconds.
