Haruto himself is growing on me a lot, too. He's reminding me more and more of the caring, collected, and competent Riders of the Showa era, which is a nice change from the less professional heroes we've had for the last several seasons. He's one of the rare Heisei Riders that I could see one of the classic guys hanging out with as a peer, not as a senior hanging out with a kid. That scene at the end with him and Rinko talking about Chizuru? That may be the moment that I'll look back on as the defining moment when Haruto clicked for me.

I agree, that moment really defined him and his mission. I'm not someone who finds Haruto boring and uninteresting at all. It's more the plot of each arc that bores me. The standard costumes, black with accent, remind me alot of OOO but lose a little bit somewhere. I can't quite place it but I really don't much care for them. The Dragon forms however I really love. I know they're bright and garrish but damn it all I love them. Flame looks pretty rough but Hurricane was significantly better, and Water is pure beauty.
