Also, his gorilla disk animal air guitars alongside him and that's adorable.

I don't really have a lot more to add about this arc. I'm not sure why, since it's a good pair of episodes with a lot of great moments - love the part where Hibiki and Kasumi are buying snacks in the convenience store - but a lot of what I would say has already been said.

They made a Kamen Rider show about weird dads and their weird kids and I really love it.

Like, Zanki is super cool and he made just the weirdest kid. He's not withholding, he's just laconic, and somehow Todoroki is, like, Kamen Rider Anxiety. Hibiki's like, Cool Weekend Dad (also where the eff is Hibarki in this one?!?!?!) while everyone else in the family actually raises Asumu... Ibuki and Akira are the only normal family in this one, and even he's okay with depriving this girl of normal socialization to fight in a demon-exploding franchise/cult.

It's weird! They're all insane, and all of them should have their kids taken away by the state, Todoroki included. Get him a better, hopefully less-cool dad.
