Yeah, I wouldn't say I hate the high school concept. It think it has a ton of potential for Kamen Rider stories (I mean, Fourze!), and I think it's especially clever to try an apply it to arguably the most melodramatic and overheated series in Phase 1 Heisei. It's more how the 2-parter picked and chose stuff that didn't seem as relevant to the setting as other stuff might've been. Weird to do a high school setting without the Kiba/Takumi relationship, is maybe the main one for me.

Considering Kaitou ends up looking a lot like Ryutaros possessing Ryotaro, I feel like debuting Diend in a Den-O story might've been unexpectedly confusing, visually.

Ha ha, I wish I could say that was left in on purpose! Of all the timestamps I forgot to edit out, though! AMAZING.

That was my bad! Sorry!

I made some reference at the start of this thread, that I was going to be like Kamen Rider Decade over the course of this project, and I didn't realize how much I sort of already was? This has been a weird few months, and it's probably only going to get weirder.
