[Enchilada645]

This aired in 2006... we have a blue sword wielding hero and a red secondary hero who has a gun... they have a spinning gimmick holder...

Eh close enough, welcome back Kamen Rider Blade.

That realization 3 episodes in aside, yeah the best I can articulate my thoughts on this episode was I felt like I was watching a shitpost (affectionate).

If there's one thing that this show nailed was showcasing a rather low energy standard day for the folks at SHOT while they try to deal with whatever disturbances there are. It's even reflected in the music where a lot of the time during the chase sequences or action scenes there's a rather relaxed OST piece playing.
