Let?s handle the B section first, because it?s fastest: Gavan pretty much forgets about this, and the show never lets the Buddyroids shine anyway. Gavan?s like They?re Clowns, and then the show doesn?t pull them back in until the finale, they get beat, and then Gavan helps Hiromu succeed. This is not making the anxious/insulting/befuddled/drunk Buddyroids seem like an integral piece of the Go-Busters machinery! For a story that kicks off with the Buddyroids at their absolute most unprofessional, the show never takes a minute to refute that, beyond some bland But We Love Them Anyways stuff at the end. Gavan weirdly had a point, and that?s all that came of this part of the opening scene?

Geki's complaint also sounds a little hypocritical coming from a passionate fireball like him, which makes him a good partner for Hiromu who also has a history of complaining about his teammates' mistakes. Considering how this is supposed to be advertising for Gavan's big upcoming movie, I guess it's expected that it would mostly highlight his good points. However, Redbuster isn't going to lose to him in coolness either. The scene with them riding their bikes together in Kamen Rider Quarry was an enjoyable climax to this rare crossover.

Morishita is moping because Gavan?s cool and awesome and shiny and did you hear he?s got a movie coming out, which just? what? Morishita sort of shrugs off his own work in the beginning, which feels random and undermotivated. (You can?t do any science or math on Makuu Space? Your whole goddamn show is about transporting things across different dimensions! You should be okay with the theory!) The idea that he?d overhear Gavan rightfully criticizing some shockingly poor work by the support staff and just go FINE, HAVE YOUR NEW FRIEND, HIROMU? where is any of this coming from? I get why Nakamura?s immediately pissed! This is a guy who never shirked from a task before, suddenly taking minor criticism from a stranger as a reason that he doesn?t ever need to do his job again. It?s weird! It?s a weird overreaction, and it makes Morishita seem like a needy friend instead of a coworker. Gavan?s point is that the support staff is unprofessional, just like the Buddyroids, and everyone?s proving him right this episode!

Morishita had been asked to be a decoy for both Redbuster and Bluebuster in different episodes, so maybe he feels like he can only pretend to be a hero and wants to do more to support his friends like Shelly does for Geki. Out of the 3 computer guys at the base, he's the one who doesn't stand out at all compared to Nakamura and Kurorin. So I guess Morishita is experiencing what Nick did when he wanted to be more than just the Bike Guy. The important part that Nakamura reminds him is that the Gobusters can rely on Morishita when they need him the most.
