For a lot of this movie I was wondering how much of Eiji we actually know about and how much was just the Roidmude playing up the act. Type: Special being a spiritual bond between Shinnosuke and his future son is really good on paper but I didn't really feel like it earned that payoff or that it ever hit for me?

Yeah, kinda just feel the same about this movie as you do! Definitely remember having fun, having a good time; far from the worst thing I've seen or the worst use of my time. But it fails at key moments to go beyond that, so it ends up settling on "yeah, alright movie"

It's especially weird because this is a movie that already has Krim Secretly Gives Shinnosuke A Way To Revive Him as a plot point, as well as a whole thing with Krim's pre-recorded message! Piggy-back on that! Have Eiji show up as a recording and go "Oh yeah, my dad taught me how to plan ahead," because that's also a reference to what Krim taught Shinnosuke!

So weird that the end's just Maybe Eiji Still Exists. So weird.
