You writing Ryouga as the overly officious email guy is making me want a Durendal So-Do to put with my gaslight-gatekeep-girlboss So-Do Sabela, stop doing the work of an 18 month old Kamen Rider show and selling the merch.

But yeah, while I skipped on the Zenkai episode, I'm glad they decided to bring back the crossover for the special anniversary? I know someone mentioned it being a waste of a week which could go to a "proper" episode, and we've been ragging on Kouta sending Mai off to be a ToQger (She'd have been a great ToQger! The Shadow Line would have never turned her heart into an apple, or whatever!), but the Gaim/ToQ special back when I first saw it all those years ago was a nice change from the Super Hero Taisen "Everyone must fight for no reason for the first 90 minutes of movie" model, and while the others were alright - even if I'd completely forgotten there was a whole Ninninger/Drive one, yeesh - and this one comes closest to that ideal I have in my head of what a crossover between Rider and Sentai 'can' be? The heroes complement each other, without just shouting about heroics or justice or abstract ideals, and they're fun!
