Maybe having the 2 parters done like the in the first half, but involving everyday Granutes instead of humans. After all, the Granute World shouldn't be exceptionally more dangerous than human world, as humans and Granutes are meant to be similarly sentient species (albeit Lango claims the Granute World runs on might makes right). The difference of the first half might be about some of the Granutes being hooked to human stuff and, perhaps having some systemic change, or such, to weaken the villains' influence (ruling their world), putting Hapipare in direct opposition to Stomach Inc as 'companies' that make people 'happy'. This applies to most Kamen Rider, but turns out it's just beat the big bad and everything is solved again by killing Bocca and Lango.

I'd have no problem with the show focusing on Granute society if it actually delved deeper like you suggest. All we get to explain the Stomachs' prejudice towards humans including their own brother is the might makes right line from Lango, the hypocrite who couldn't beat Bocca without relying on Gavv's strength. And Jeep, whose arc had the strongest connection to Shouma's, ended up getting finished by Valen without Shouma even being present. I think the Granute society could've been better, if only Komura had prioritized that more.

The funniest case I remember is Saber, where the main screenwriter is Takuro Fukuda, but Keiichi Hasegawa is the author for most of the episodes. So the similarities with comics are truly significant, since new teams are working with ideas that were sometimes conceived before they were even born.

I'll add that Fukuda gets a lot of misdirected hate for his absentness, as Producer Takahashi is the one who told him to focus on movies. Arguably it was a good decision, as while Ghost and Saber are unpopular, many people love Specter Rebirth and Trio of Deep Sin.
