[Kamen Rider Die]

I keep thinking about that Please Get Along With Yuuto phrase. It's so perfect for Deneb. It's funny, it's heartfelt, it's subservient, it's hopeful; it's a request for mercy on a boy who'd sooner die than ask for it.

Like, it's so great in the way it centers Yuuto as some victim, you know? It's Deneb asking people to ignore all of Yuuto's incredibly prominent personality defects, the way Yuuto is living his life a quarter of an I'm Not Here To Make Friends at a time, and begging people to bend over backwards to not hate Yuuto. It makes Getting Along With Yuuto everyone else's job except Yuuto. It sees a depth in Yuuto, a value, that is obscured by everything Yuuto says and does to absolutely everyone he encounters.

I gotta get that coaster.

Or folks here who can only watch toku shows too deserve to be ridiculed and degraded like what the Taros here do? (and assholes can act whatever they want if they harm plain average people like this and they're the one who deserves help due to everything happening for a reason) ~ Though here you talk about if Ozaki getting too familiar (being inappropriate) with Hana, but dunno about that, he definitely did have moments of that previously, but what I catch is it's just him simply asking others to play a tabletop game.

Sure, the Imagin are maybe a little overprotective of Hana here (plus I think they, rightly, are incredibly irritated by Ozaki), but we as the audience know that the Imagin aren't even a little off-base in their judgment of him. They aren't being mean to him because he's not the Most anything, other than Most Slimy. He's a creep, and they're treating him like a creep.

But, yeah, Hana's more than capable of standing up for herself, which was a nice part of that scene.
