[Switchblade]

So this episode and the next set up my favorite personal head canon for Kiva. A corrupt cop goes after the Wonderful Blue Sky Organization and goes after all of its members: Shima, Megumi, and Nago. Just them; nobody else. I don't think there is a WBSO. I think it's legitimately just some weird dude and whoever else he can convince to fight Fangires for him.

(Seriously, this never came up before with Shizuka, but it suddenly does now?)

Don't worry about it. I'm sure this story is purely just random trivia and not a shortcut to introduce a new character.

It’s one of those Things Happen tokusatsu stories, where it’s not really doing anything fun with allegory or metaphor, but it’s all-in on bizarre circumstances and poorly-explained developments.

Forget it, Kamen Rider Die, it's Kiva.
