Special Time! Survive Edition! (Part 2)

-Ren hearing (persumably) past Shinji's voice to stop the battle, I might weep. But also like. Kinda cheap not to have your own motivation, isn't it. Even a "I killed a guy last episode, And I'd Rather Not Do That Again!" for Ren would've succiffed.

-Is it bad I don't really care about Tatakae Lady and Another Ryuki's deal? Like I know they're trying to reflect Kanzaki and Yui's whole deal, but we already went through a similar plot in the Fourze/Faiz arc?

-Not to be that guy, but like. If this takes places *after* Another Ryuga, but before Episode 29, what's stopping Sougo from whacking Another Ryuki to pieces using Zi-O II, like he did with Ryuga?

-Vaguely heard Tezuka was canon gay when I watched Ryuki for the first time, and assumed something like, "Ah they must've impiled Tezuka's piano friend was more than a friend somewhere, that's some neat rep for me." But...Tezuka and Jun? It's very odd pairing, esp considering how bizzare Tezuka's character is in this one? (I can totally buy Jun being an absolute weirdo in any romantic relationship he'd persue tho.)

-Like 13 Riders and Zi-O were all very "No matter what Time Nonsense goes on, these people will always be the same kind of people they always are! :-)" So I don't really get the reason for Tezuka's heelturn in the first place? And then they switch him back right before he dies, so like what's the point?

Tangent: A lot of the props/suits look really nice, surprisingly a lot better than some returning suits that came after Ryuki (Accel in that one special...Oof.) I wonder how much of it had to be remade, and how much seemed good to go after pulling it out of storage? (I'm like half sure Gai was remade completely, it's so shiny.)
