You know, I haven't really seen anyone talking about it, but I just really like the katakana/hiragana aesthatic of the suits?

Just the little things, like how Sougo's Rider Shoe has the katakana for 'kick' on it, and the way his first Rider Kick is portrayed so that his visor and shoe line up to spell out "Rider Kick". The way part of said visor extends to form a second hand. And in the latest episode, how Sougo's Critical Time Break utilizes the same 'Hit' effects used in Ex-Aid, but written in katakana instead of English.

The way the weapons shift as well, with the spelling literally changing with the weapon to indicate what mode it is in, just stands out to me and looks so cool.

Geiz's weapon in particular, the Zikan Zax, just really tickles my funny bone. The sound effects that occur when Geiz changes his weapon forms are named after said weapon forms, "Yumi" for bow and 'Ono' for axe, but are intentionally separated so that we get "You! Me!" and "Oh no!" instead. And that is just hilarious to me. "Oh no! An axe!"

I also just really like the base form suits (but I also have trash taste in fashion, so you know, take what I say with a grain of salt). They're basically walking wristwatches, with the helmets being the literal faces of the watch while the straps form the divider in the middle of the suits. It's a very simple design, and yet I just really like it. I just really like how they combined these two different themes, of clocks and Japanese lettering, and somehow make it work. And I am in love with it.
