It's adorable. My absolute weakness in Kamen Rider is when monsters get to do non-monster stuff. One of my all-time favorite characters in tokusatsu is a cubist monstrosity who preferred to make art instead of helping to destroy the world. Desast's bored meandering is very much to my tastes!

The second part of this story is just the dumbest thing, and I had to write it immediately. Sorry in advance!

Which lore or lores from the wonder ride books so far intrigues you?

Nice to hear from you again!

Wonder Ride Books... I mean, is it too obvious to say Primitive Dragon? There're really only a few books that the show has bothered to imbue with something other than a cursory backstory, and they're basically all Touma's power-ups: Dragonic Knight, Primitive Dragon, King of Arthur. I think those are the only ones that got actual stories devoted to them? Even Rintaro's power-up was just a last-minute save that didn't really get a bunch of background. (Oh! I guess X-Swordman got a little runner through a few episodes, as well.) Primitive Dragon's danger and mystery makes the most compelling power so far, at least to me.

I'd love to hear anyone else's answer to this question!

I just can't take Tassel Is Calibur seriously as a theory, I'm sorry. I'm not saying it can't be him, but it would make Calibur irrevocably weird, and sort of worthless as a villain/anti-hero/threat. It would be funny, but it's also mostly an HBV punchline reveal. Maybe! But, boy, you gotta make some huge changes to Tassel -- now and forever -- in order to keep Calibur as a boogeyman for our group of workplace swordsmen.

Reika is very much the Dwight (or Gareth) from The Office character-type of this workplace dramedy: she's a fanatically devoted employee who fancies herself a vital cog in the machine that's destined for greater responsibility, but that same fanaticism makes her ill-suited for anything other than following orders. She can't manage others because a) she lacks basic people-skills, and b) she can't conceive of a goal or motivation beyond Eternal Service. She's an incredibly bad pick for getting the Northern Base soldiers to toe the line!
