I didn't expect to end up here myself, honestly! As much as I love a good Rider #1 throwback, the suit lacked the wild creativity I enjoy I about this franchise, to the point that way back in the thread for the premiere, one of the first things I felt the need to do was make fun of Toei for playing up a belt on the chest as some bold new direction. I warmed up to it with time, though.

The chest belt, especially, I'd seriously be fine if that was just the standard from now on? There's a subtle but wide-reaching effect it has on the cinematography that I really like, especially, where it lets you do shots that pull in closer on an actor's face while still keeping the toys in the frame, rather than having to either show everything from a distance or cut between separate closeups of the face and the belt. ZEZTZ still does all of those things too, of course, but I really feel like there's a whole new dimension the show has access to with filming transformations and whatnot that has potential beyond just this one year.
