So, Trinity Form, the thing we weren't supposed to know about. I think it's fine. There are better and worse suits. Honestly, I probably like it a bit more than its obvious predecessor: Climax Den-O. The body sharing gimmick is also fine. Geiz should arguably be a lot more opposed to it, but it's not like this is the first time that Geiz just stood back and watched to see how something would play out instead of doing something about it.
Again, though, this arc is all about the Blade reunion and I will always still love that. I don't mind that this kind of undoes the show's original ending, despite the fact that I literally just complained about RT Ryuki kind of undoing that show's original ending. Part of that is that this is by far a more upbeat resolution; nobody we care about dies (and neither does Amane). Instead, we get to see Kenzaki and Hajime reunite as friends, which I love. I also get a stronger sense that this isn't meant to be permanent: at some point, the Ridewatch powers are going to go back to where they belong, making this more of a reprieve for the Jokers, rather than a permanent fix.
This arc is also a great example of how much better the show works without the time travel gimmick. We got some actual continued development for the guest stars instead of seeing them playing shells of their original characters who don't even remember being Kamen Riders. It is a much better approach to handling the legacy tributes and it's no coincidence that I think all of Zi-O's best crossover episodes happen in this back half of the show.

Without spoiling how the show did handle it, I am still disappointed that they didn't go with something called Another Another Agito.
