I think the first generation of Kaijin was created manually, the ones after were born. There are exceptions like the two Century Kings of course, or recent experiments like Aoi, but I think the majority of the Kaijin population was born and not made by transforming humans.

So then why would killing the Creation King halt the creation of new Kaijin? They could just keep reproducing.

They also say that all Kaijin have a stone in them. But those stones can only be grown from extract.

I mena, it matters because it was a part of the original Kamen Rider Black. A minor part, but Battle Hopper stood above most Rider machines because he was alive.

As I wrote before the show aired: I understand that this may not be pleasant, but it is not clear how one could expect something else. I mean, it's clear that you can appreciate Black a lot more than Ichigo or Amazon, but did Toei ever claim to treat him in a special way?

This is a weak excuse. It's called Kamen Rider Black. How could people not expect it to be like Kamen Rider Black? What's the purpose of remaking Black specifically if you completely change it?

Also people have historically disliked things like The First/Next and Amazons. You'd think Toei would learn from their previous works, not repeat the same mistakes on a larger scale.

Le Sigh. This had a very “American” feel to it, in some areas, this was great, but the plot slowly unraveled and gave birth to plotholes.
WTF was the point of the Kingstones, again???
Why did Aoi henshin (with a Belt with no explanation no less) JUST to keep the same previous form, instead of a Rider one? I wanted SO BADLY to like this.
One Rider kick.
This the Kamen Rider equivalent to Rainy Dog by T. Miike, just gets more depressing as you go on

They really had no idea what to do with the "Kamen Rider" part of this Kamen Rider show. It felt entirely mishandled and tacked on.
