Interesting to see them go full X-Men with the kaijin. Definitely a departure from the original, but it's working for me. I'm not sure how well this will be able to be resolved, given the nature of what Gorgom is and that Kotaro is likely going to end up mostly fighting kaijin instead of humans. I get that Greta Thunbe... er, Aoi, is meant to be the POV character for all of this, but I'm not sure if there's an ending to this that doesn't involve the deaths of all the kaijin, especially given the implication that they need Creation King milk to survive.

Kotaro is a little bit too much of a cipher to get a full sense of yet. Verdict is still out on him, but I'm surprisingly enjoying what we've gotten out of Nobuhiko so far. Definitely on board with him not just floating in a bubble of stock footage for 30 episodes.

I love that kamen rider has two tones of violence:
1. I'll fade into sparkles cause we cant show a corpse
2. I'll punch a man and rip out his intestines.
