Well you see, your first mistake was thinking OOO would lose you.

Kamen Rider Ghost Episode 4

Funnily enough, this is maybe one of the earlier episodes I think about the least, but that's probably just because I feel like all the episodes immediately following it are so strong. I definitely remember the weird continuity woes of the Newton Eyecon and the reused OOO footage plenty, though, and I mean, it's Ghost, so when I say this one sticks in my mind less than others, that's relatively speaking.

To offer a generous reading of Takeru getting to summon the Eyecon at the end, it's probably to make it that much more surprising when Specter shows up to completely rewrite the status quo by sticking to the formula until the very last possible second. The closer Takeru gets to a victory, the more shocking it is when he loses. The fact Specter enters the scene flying suddenly into frame to kick Ghost suggests to me they were shooting for maximum excitement above all else, and I think they hit the mark there; I got a lotta nice things to say about Specter in this part of the show. I do like your idea too, though!
