I guess it's just a testament to how well-trained Hibiki is. The other Riders are so awful at their jobs that can't have a scene transition without seeing a monster attacking civilians. Hibiki's so good at his that he has to go
hunting
for monsters to take down.

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?
Especially now, when the only things we've seen Hibiki riding on are a car and a ferry. Probably wouldn't make you think Kamen Rider, if you're expecting V3 or someone.
That said, I'm a fan of Kamen Riders being such a part of Japanese culture by this point (34 years?) that even Hibiki would just be a Kamen Rider to the public inside his show, no need to explain it.

It's a great scene, and a gross scene, but also a
weird
scene. This is the second storyline where the Makamou with human faces and dialogue are treated like mooks, something for Hibiki to quickly dispatch in the first part of the story. (Well, except for the one that gets away. Just like the last story!) Maybe it's that seeing Hibiki having another long battle with a giant CGI monster feels like a poor trade-off, considering how little we got of the cooler human-sized monsters?

I mean, they weren't wrong! It's a pretty intense show sometimes!
(Also, hey, the Asumu stuff is
maybe
a little bit more than I'd want to know. Less of the "major moment later on" stuff would be awesome. Thanks!)

And then we get to Ex-Aid, where I'M A KAMEN RIDER is part of their Henshin!
