Something like "+10 Rider Points, and Kazuma Kenzaki applauds your commitment to the work you do. Please adjust your TokuNation Scorecard appropriately"?

You gotta do you, is the point. And this gap is actually kinda convenient for me, because there's something about episode 19 I totally forgot to mention, which of course means it's the thing from the episode I most wanted to mention.

It's the second episode of the show (the first being 11) to be solely written by Tsuyoshi Kida, who, despite being credited as main writer basically everywhere I've seen, is on record as saying he feels he didn't get to put much of a personal spin on his Hibiki scripts due to Takatera being as involved as he was. In spite of this, he did manage to get one thing into this episode that has his Wizardy fingerprints all over it:




Like, of course an episode written by him just HAS to feature a scene where the hero jumps into the frame (and it is always jumping) to save some extras from a monster. It's a classic Rider Rescue, if you will!

I'm talking about when there's a monster strangling somebody and the main Rider shows up, hits the monster to knock them away, and then the hapless civilian runs off, too terrified to be bother being grateful about not getting murdered. I feel like Heisei Kamen Rider went on to do this pattern a lot.

So yeah, I don't know; that moment just made me really laugh for some reason.
