[SuperHenshin]

*Spoilers*
I hated it and felt like it was a spit in the face to actual Kamen Rider Black fans. It isn't a Kamen Rider show, it's a political drama with a Kamen Rider costume on. The writing of the series is very western. I don't want western style writing, that's why I watch shows and movies from Asia instead of shows like Game of Thrones. Kotaro has no personality and he's a side character in his own show. The creation stone plot makes no sense at all. Aoi is basically a Japanese Greta Thunberg and it became a running joke just how many bad things can happen to her. Her friend dies and then gets brought back to life just to die again. I'm actually okay with the teen soldier angle to a degree. Where it falls short is that Kotaro just goes along with it. Kotaro in Black, or Black RX would have stormed the building with just him and Nobuhiko and absolutely refused for anyone else to go in, but since this Kotaro has no personality he just lets everyone else do what they want since he's just a plot device. Then there is Kotaro dying for no reason after it was already established that the Creation King can develop it's own will. Then on the last episode equating racism with being against open border policies. This is especially stupid considering that accepting thousands of immigrants at one time would also make the kaijin suffer, not just the humans. There is a reason why in Black RX the people from the demon realm went to live underground on Earth and it is because with all those people coming in, housing prices would skyrocket, they'd be a lot less space and there would be more homeless people. Not to mention that countries that have adapted such policies, crime rate has increased. Plus if the government wanted to help the kaijins, they wouldn't be able to with thousands of immigrants coming in, so it's stupid all the way around. Oh, and then Aoi at the end implying she's going to attack people that want secure borders.
