One of the best parts of seeing Ryotaro work with Yuuto is that it makes it clear how much Hana carries Ryotaro. It's easy to forget with all of the Henshins and sweetness and principled stands, but Ryotaro is not good at being a Kamen Rider! Him and Airi both have that thing of not really understanding things like stealth and subterfuge! Ryotaro is mostly an empty vessel, and that ain't a great teammate sometimes!

Seeing Ryotaro hit the Imagin beat with Yuuto, it's consistently funny to me that the show is sticking to its Ryotaro Is A Crummy Kamen Rider But He's A Great Den-O thesis statement, and how little that argument sways Yuuto. He's not here to make friends, so a well-meaning Den-O that can't pull his weight is worth about zero Zeronos cards.

Long story short, I still love that Yuuto's basically correct to look down his nose at Ryotaro.
