Whereas Fourze and Wizard translated this to uplifting premises, OOO turned it into not killing off a beloved character and instead having him leave and come back.
Wow, that's...quite dark, even for Kamen Rider! I wonder how the characters would react to a cloned Date - that's really strange to think about. Would kids in Japan be happy to see the return of Date, except not really and it's some weird mockup of him? Was his death and subsequent cloning just a way to get some cheap drama and then push additional merchandise? (That seems like the most likely outcome).
I am also very much not a fan of Gotou, he really bores me, so I was dreading this episode, but I think it came out pretty alright. The middle stretch of OOO felt really long, so maybe I was waiting for a change! It's a shame that Gotou only really gets like 10 episodes as Birth, too, not much opportunity to prove himself. However, not to spoil the next episode too much, but I think there are some shake ups to the Birth formula that I ended up really appreciating, even though Date is gone!
