You can! For sure! There is
no ambiguity
to this movie's central theme of Kamen Rider #1 Should Be An Inspirational Figure!

I also liked how he matched Takeru
tonally?
There's this real sense from Argos that he's honestly trying to help people connect, and he'll take some time to try to explain himself to Takeru. That's a Takeru move, you know? Just trying to have a conversation when people are in conflict. Argos is deluded and deranged, but there's a part of him that wants to be understood; that wants to be accepted.

Makoto's assertion that Kanon loves Tokyo (?) and that he also loves Tokyo (??) and that he'll fight anyone who makes Tokyo cry (???) is one of my favorite things in all of Kamen Rider. It's a thing where, if these shorts had another minute of runtime, I could see Onari leaning into frame with a "Master Makoto, forgive me, but are you trying to summon the 'Loki' Eyecon? Because nothing you just said was even
remotely
true."

And it only took me an extra 30 months to come to that conclusion!

Well, to be fair, Ayumu seems to mouth the word "tousan" as he's disappearing, so there's also that.
I mean, he
could
also be saying "toucon" with a bit of a lisp, letting Takeru know which suit was his favorite...
