I've been under the impression it doesn't really have a particular name?

Hmm, I recall a lot of people were calling it that when we were all trying to decipher them in the news and rumors thread. However, a quick web search of Ridermoji only turns up a little usage within the Western community, including content as recent as my post that you just quoted and excerpts from En-chan's crossover fic. I guess it could be one of those factoids, where somebody said it and everybody else followed. Thanks for putting me straight though.

But she?s a good editor, and I think she just wanted me to give you a hand with it.?

Touma speaks so much truth here. I think this also shows how much Touma and Mei trust each other both professionally and as friends. Touma has the courage to show Mei all of his worst works (at least not NSFW stuff like he thinks Daishinji's writing) and Mei is great for how she approaches them with an open mind to try and make it in to a success for Touma, the publisher and the readers. People totally shouldn't underestimate the kind of bond these two have to make that work the way they do.

I have to disagree with you here about Metal Cluster Hopper. I thought its debut was seriously intimidating and memorable for how mercilessly it bested its opponents without moving a muscle and how it's not only a debut for a new form, but our first experience of the malicious Ark itself. One of the few moments of excitement and suspense in the otherwise dreadfully dull Job Competition arc.

I think the hollowness is symbolically appropriate. It's a book that's all rage and pain instead of intelligible prose, which is why Touma struggles as a writer to tame that power.

Here he does the voice of the Master and the guard who lures Touma to the forbidden book. That isn?t a coincidence or a budget saving measure. But needless to say, I will probably have a relevant actor joke meme down the line.

Furthermore, this is only the second actor to appear from Shinkenger. Karahashi Mitsuru, known by KR fans as Kaido, Musashi and Hayato, was also Shinkenger's coolest most bad*ss character, Juuzou.

Ever since watching the DX review for this, now I hear it as, "I want to get divorced.", which can be a joke headcanon for why Primitive Dragon is so mad.
