Kamen Sentai Gorider is a kids' show. *insert Emu getting gutted*

But boy, was this a good one! After serving as only a simple exclusive form, the Goriders return as a simple exclusive form, but in a more interesting narrative, despite how much they absolutely have no connection to dead Riders.

Now, I had only seen Gaim and Ex-Aid at this point, so I was more familiar with those characters, while I have a bit of knowledge on Blade, Another Agito wasn't anyone I knew too much about, I could still appreciate the way the characters fit into this bizarre situation and how they interact with each other. But overall, none of these characters spoiled anything about their show (well, I was pretty much spoiled with Blade, but that was before I even started Kamen Rider), so I was able to enjoy these characters in this story without any prior knowledge from their respective seasons.

As mentioned by others, it is a little strange that no Sentai characters appeared here, but oddly enough, I don't think they needed to? Since the "Sentai" Team is actually a "Rider" Team, and that never really came into my head the first-time viewing, but now I feel that this was absolutely brilliant, since it's still in line with the Ex-Aid universe, and I don't think it referenced Chou Super Hero Taisen (or at least, I don't remember them doing so), so Sentai characters might have been a little out of place.

Of course, the plot is great, having a good mystery and Emu being a pro-gamer, while being loaded to the brim with Rider action, and Kuroto being diabolical before ultimately getting destroyed by a football, what's not to love about this? I had a great time with this and would honestly love it if they did a whole parody series of the Goriders (maybe not the same people from this special, but it would be fun to see them use the suits for something).
