It wouldn't surprise me if there was some degree of the writer changing bits of the plot as audience reception happens throughout the entire series (I rememebr seeing someone comment that Skyrider was effectively retrofitted into an anniversary celebration halfway through), but everyone always acts like Ghost's entire plot was derailed becaus... reasons? Like, don't get me wrong, there are certainly places in Ghost's plot where you can scratch your head and ask 'Why?', but nowhere do I feel like it was because some higher up at Toei wrenched control from them and told them they had to include something.
