[DreadBringer]

Crossover/multiverse time (haven't watched Outsiders yet), albeit there's some progression in main story like Lachesis' deal.

The main focus is the fight for Legend Kamen Riser, Kaguya's superweapon, which is being hunted by the Hundreds, led by Alpha. Alpha's appearance reminds me of Woz due to the hair and multiverse theme. The Hundred's Kasshin army appears tougher than the usual mooks, although they don't perform any better

Lachesis and the other Dark Sisters are homunculi, similar to Malice Dolls. The others, particularly Kyoka, wish to turn Lachesis into a human, to give her hopes and dreams, using a creepy-sounding approach to check every part of her. This also reminds me of Daishinji checking on Yuri.

Though if making her human is meant to tame Lachesis and turn them good, human traits aren't always good, something like hurting, killing, or violating are also being human even if horrific one. Being good isn't about which species, but about good actions, homunculi rights can be advocated like Chemies. For now Lachesis still looks down on goodness like Rinne's vow to help Atropos.

It's expected that despite Clotho's hostility, Houtaro consistently helped and showed concern for her, as traditional heroes, which main Riders usually are, would strive to help anyone. He also tried to reach out to her. Houtaro's clearly less refined in fighting compared to Clotho, although he can at least dodge, and his arm seems fine when Clotho kicks it at the end.

Clotho cannot handle the power of Dread Type 3 like the human Geryon could, while Lachesis speculates that their lack of humanity is a limit to their personal development as well. Kyoka therefore enthusiastically volunteers to, uh, examine Lachesis' body, in order to find a way to turn the Dark Sisters human. Kudos to Rinne (haha, get it?), since even after the recent attempt to ruin her life once more, she still wants to help Atropos. If only Atropos can be convinced to see the error of her ways, then the Dark Sisters can finally be reunited and not have to live in fear or loneliness all the time. Even Spanner seems pretty supportive of this plan, despite his protest from before about trusting the Dark Sisters.

If you're into this as well as giving a benefit of the doubt for Hijiri's older brother (which I disagree) then what differentiates villains' harming (including Clotho above for kicking Houtaro's arm) to something like Tacchan breaking up with Yua? That he doesn't deserve a second chance where you'd think otherwise for the Dark Sisters? Where regarding consequences, if their opponents are too lenient on the villains it'd make them free from consequences and doesn't actually give justice/fairness that they pretty much get away scot free (moreso if they redeemed) and are being 'spoiled' for still receiving all help and love without having to make an effort to rightfully earn it.
