I am not a fan of Geiz’s battle jammies at the best of times, but then he showed up at the end of this episode in normal civvies but still wearing the fucking dickie, buckles and all. I don’t know if the producers thought kids wouldn’t recognize him or Tsukoyomi without a piece of their normal costumes, but the fact that Geiz wears that thing with every outfit is ridiculous. It is the dumbest fashion decision in all of Kamen Rider, and this a franchise that includes both Shunpei and the 1970s. I have a lot of issues with Geiz, which I have mentioned before and will do so again in this thread, but the tactical dickie is by far the worst element of the character.

I love, love, love that Geiz wears it all the time. I dont think we ever learn why he always wears it, but I've always chalked it up to him thinking it's really cool? So it's personally become an endearing character trait for me. (Plus he always manages to pull it off well enough with whatever he's wearing 8 times out of 10, so I don't consider it some kind of grave fashion sin.)
