Aw, that's cute. Everyone should get to be a superhero for their kids.

Yeah, I mean, it's a little diminished by happening entirely in the Toku Caves (ask about their group discounts!), but Saber's version is tightly constructed and kinetically designed. I liked it a lot!

I don't dislike her, but I don't really like her too much either, or at least, not as much compared to the other characters (BUSTER!!! Buster fan quota fulfilled for not reading his Manga).

Oh, for sure, Reika being intensely off-putting and weird is sort of the charm? Once you're outside the She's Up To EVIL... Or Is She? part of her arc, Reika's a blast. She's just some weird, awkward lady that's a dynamite team with her weird, awkward brother. They're like if Touma and Mei sucked, which is a fun addition to the group dynamic.

There really is! Like, Mei! I didn't talk about it, because it felt like a cliffhanger that was about to resolve, but I love that Mei's contribution to this epic battle relies on her skills as an editor. She read Touma's story, figured out something important, and rushed out to help. She never needed to be a Kamen Rider! She's already got powerful abilities that no one else on the team has!
