[Kiwami]

I rewatched the episode as it still doesn't sit well with me. Again, the first 16 minutes? Excellent, I love it. Everything they do after, including the setup for the movie, I could’ve done without.

Here's how I would do this: Azu gets "deleted" by Jin. Like, use the weird thing from W were Philip gets reborn through Wakana's sacrifice for all I care. Have Jin hack her body and reappear in his form. That's possible since HumaGear all have the same base frame regardless of what "gender" they assume, right?

That's the "threat" of Azu and her keys being taken care of. I don’t need another evil Rider; make a movie about Gai selling robot dogs instead.

Then, Aruto: He quits being Hiden's CEO. As he legally cannot really be blamed for becoming the Ark, he decides to remove himself from society until he truly feels like having defeated the malice within him. I know, also not a unique ending at all, but at least I won’t bring a park bench into the mix

If you want to, pull a reference to Kuuga and show him located in a very distant little village where he’s making kids laugh with stupid jokes. Or don’t show him; instead show laughing children imitating him and then pan the camera to his silhouette in the twilight sun or something cliché like that.

The rest of the characters are fine as is, although I wish Fuwa would do something more meaningful at the end. Even a scene where he goes off to find a new dream or something. Not just ripping a car door open. Although, I like the joke here.

But entirely scrap the reviving Izu part. I don't like it at all.
