I do like this a lot. It really sells the general air of Kamen Rider suits being dangerous technology, but with a hyper-specific We Should All Step Back vibe for Vulcan.

Cool! I was afraid my files had excluded it for some reason.

It really does! I liked that this show tried to explain how a stand-up comedian can suddenly beat the hell out of a literal killing machine. Previous shows, it's just sort of handwaved (like, Sougo, seriously), but this series built in a little bit of story about Aruto running through the full Zero-One training program in a couple seconds. Clever!

It also sells the idea of Aruto rushing into danger, putting himself between a monster and civilians. He's not striking from a distance, he's going toe-to-toe with the problem.

Rise Phones... man, I don't know. You're telling me that the company that developed Humagears also sells a phone that's three inches thick and made of shiny black plastic? I know Bandai's gotta sell role-play items, but, man, my disbelief can only be suspended so much. Just let these kids use iPhones! You've got enough plastic crap to sell!
