Yeah, while Minato is often wrong for ignoring people's feelings and blaming Chemies for problems, he at least cares enough about humans to want to protect them even if it means taking risks, which is a lot more the Union. He's actually a good influence here as one of the few people who can successfully discourage Spanner's cynical behavior.

Super Gotchard UFO-X has space theme like Fourze without uchuu kitaa, and he weaponizes the UFO to levitate and trap his opponents. His way of saving Sabi is "de-henshining" him by pulling him out of Dread so that Dread can be destroyed without someone caught in crossfire, though enough data is still collected for Dark Sisters. That seems to be a broken ability to Kamen Riders, dunno what is his upper limit of pulling someone out of their Rider armor, by this even Ohma Zi-O can have Sougo being pulled out of it.

Chemies typically only speak a few syllables, so I guess miscommunication is inevitable. Although since it's possible for humans to understand Shiftcars' mechanical beeps, then understanding Chemies should be easy by comparison.

The Dread System seems to be animated similar to those prop ninjas from before and programmed to put whoever's holding it under Atropos' spell, with Sabi merely being used as a source of power and knowledge to make it strong. Whereas the Gotchard System is a fusion of harmony between Houtarou and 2 Chemies, with the physical humanoid body only appearing in some forms through strong synchronization.

There are other Riders who Cross UFO-X definitely wouldn't be able to separate from their suits, like Amazon and Hibiki who are biologically attached to them. Oma Zi-O could probably use Newton Damashii's power to resist the kinetic force, which is canonically strong enough to suspend an entire city district for several seconds.

This sounds like your pitch for the Hyper Battle DVD.
