Are we talking about Inoue? Were we talking about Inoue? I wanna say a few words about Inoue.

I like Inoue. I have this weird love/hate relationship with his works, that it all just circles back to me appreciating him.

He has all these neat pics with Murakami, it's cute.

But going back, I honestly kinda feel bad for him too, since after Kiva he seemed kinda burnt out on Toku on his later years. I feel it may be showing on his stuff in ZI-O. I wish we could get another Inoue season in modern rider, but I know that'll be next to impossible to happen since it'll be a toss-up of either Inoue completely willing to write the WHOLE SHOW and Toei not letting him, or Inoue simply not feeling it and writing only two episodes.

He's one of the few writers we got who absolutely wants to do something that goes absolutely out of the 'safe' radar, and that's a blast to watch when the execution is great. Faiz still being one of my favorites out of him. I unironically feel we need more of him.

In terms of Decade, this two-episode arc for Diend, is a favorite of mine and also cemented Diend as one of my favorite secondaries. I was extremely disappointed what they did to him in SHT, and then I was completely enamored when he came back for ZI-O. This also gave birth to the amazing meme that is Kamen Rider Glaive.
