And finally if you wanna see Kaido become a brooding cursed swordsman/most badass red ranger nemesis of all time, Shinkenger.

Assuming the next couple episodes of Faiz don't completely crush my spirit, Sentai is definitely one of several post-Saber possibilities. (JFC, I cannot believe that my Kamen Rider timeline has an endpoint, and that that endpoint isn't anything more than a name. What a time to be alive!) Go-Busters, for sure, that's one I'm keen to experience. I'll take the others under advisement!

They just... they feel like decisions that make the characters less interesting?

Like, making Yuuji into Murakami Junior, there's a way I could make excuses for it. Maybe Yuuji's so dead inside that it's easier to pretend to be Murakami than own up to his choices. Maybe he's cold and distant and manipulative because the alternative is insanity. But, a) that isn't really supported on the show as it stands, and b) those are entirely interior character beats that are impossible to dramatize. A character being ice-cold on the outside and a roiling volcano of conflicting emotions on the inside, that's something you can do in a book, or a comic book. You have to do it in a medium where you can get at their internal struggle. Here, he's just a boring asshole playing at being Murakami? And I hate his new hair?
