It’s not like you can save the world by sitting in a basement reading about historical figures, or by eating donuts all day. Fighting monsters doesn’t happen by accident!*

(*excluding basically every other Kamen Rider show. Don’t tell Hibiki that he could just be blundering into these things by jumping in from out of frame!)

Ah yes, our heroes actively searching for monster activity in the wild instead of having a random plot and the monster appearing out of nowhere.

I don't think the word "Kamen Rider" was ever uttered in the entire series. Which is another oddity that makes Hibiki sticks out. Every series I saw they namedrop "Kamen Rider" like it's common knowledge in their respective universe, though to me using it feels a little forced. Like, what exactly is a "Kamen Rider" to them to know a Rider when they see it? Ever thought of that?
