This trend actually goes way beyond show riders. In almost all shows with a fantasy, mystical or detective plot, the daily life of the hero, which initially takes up a significant part of the plot, gradually decreases until it disappears altogether. For some it takes half a season, for others it takes two or three, but the result is the same. And if the show goes on long enough, then that very fantastic / mystical / detective part begins to decrease, giving way to relationships between characters already beloved by the audience. And in combination with the ideas that have ended, this leads to the fact that the show becomes indistinguishable from all the others and loses what it was loved for. This is how even the best die, and that is why it is important to stop in time. Well, the tokusatsu approach of changing characters and atmosphere, where each season is a new show that keeps favorite (and not so) moments of the previous ones, is also not bad.
