yeah this is definitely off-putting. his weapon isn't far off from being the size of a dx toy - it absolutely would've worked better as a bladed tonfa. warframe's designs come to mind.

kamen rider weapons being impractical isn't a new thing, but evil's weapon really stands out. you'd break your wrist if you swung around a little saw which is pretty much what his weapon is. considering how early he'll be making his debut, I'm hoping he isn't stuck with this for the entire show.

the weapon is pretty much just a really shitty bayonet - which is a damn shame because an actual bayonet would make for a really sick kamen rider weapon.

I could buy this. this show has so many rider candidates as it is - it would only make sense for evil to be someone associated with our current cast in some capacity.
