Thanks so much! I don't feel like I'm going anywhere, even if the next couple might possibly get a little hectic for me.

I feel like the better way to go would be to have Gai neutralize Aruto somehow, and then fight Fuwa. We've already seen that Metal Cluster Hopper can handle Thouser solo, and adding Vulcan to the heroes' side would make it unrealistic for Thouser to win. If they'd maybe had Gai gut punch Aruto before Henshining and attacking Fuwa, it'd allow the fight to progress without Aruto's assistance.

That would be really great! It's a weird side-effect of this show's various power bases that we rarely see Aruto fight alongside anyone. (I mean, same thing for Fuwa nowadays! It's all solo fight scenes!) I would love to see Zero-One and Vulcan teaming up again to take down whomever. Their last team-up was pretty fun!

I'm pretty sure it was before they'd even started dipping into monster figures, and out they came with something that's quite staunchly not involved in fights, isn't a specific character and is hardly something that's overly appealing to kids. Just because it was a suit in the currently-airing Kamen Rider show! GOD I love SO-DO!

Yeah, and they even did the retro model! What a bizarre choice, but it's totally in keeping with SO-DO's inclusiveness.

(It helps that it doesn't feel like we're getting a new suit for Zero-One or Thouser anytime soon, and Vulcan's got one or two left? Not a ton of superhero suits left on this series to make into toys!)

I don't mind Aruto asking Fuwa about his goals for the future! I do mind Aruto asking it with zero set-up in the middle of a random episode. That's the sort of thing a writer should build up to, and deploy organically. You can't just have it come up as a conversation starter.

I can sort of see Aruto not using his abilities, since it might disqualify Hiden and lose them the contest. (Fuwa outright says that he doesn't care about rules, so the contest is irrelevant to him.) Because there's a crew of firefighters on hand, I think Aruto's less inclined to take over the rescue. If Homaura and/or 119 had failed, I think that's when Aruto would've stepped in.
